previously had tailed to do -force the
Allies out of their trenches.
As was the case with the Prussian

A Letter from Salisbury Plain.
Mr. Ernest Pritchard bas received a
letter from his brother Tom, who is
with the Canadian troops at Salisbury

try had been pialtget' It wow dseid-
ed to make a systematic canvass of the
churches tbrogggbout the district. The
ladies of the Holmesville church ver y
kindly provided meals in tbe church
for visiting delegates.
Some interesting facts are gleaned
from • table of statistics published in
this connection. The membenbip of
the sixteen churches which comprise
the district numbers -3.8W. Thew gave
during the last financial year to the
general missionary fund the sum of
$6,750 and to the Women's Missionary
Society $1,6:13. The Epworth Leagues
of the district gave $' 101 to missions
and the Sunday ecboon' gave $151,
North street church, Ooderich, gave
an average of $3.50 per member to
missions and Victoria street gave an
average of
11.15. There watt
anincreases
in the giving for the
ire district
over obs previews year of $236. The
outlook at present is very satisfactory.
and with • little extra effort it is
thought that no retrenchment will
have to be made in the apportion'
menta to the various missionary
fields.

Knox Church Choir Scores Again.
A vote of thanks i• iso the mem-
bers of Knox ab,weh choir for the
splendii entertainment which they
provided in the "Concert of the

Fothe:Ingham represented bis native
country, Scotland, by a splendid ad-
dress which was easily worth the ad-
mission fee itself. The stage was
prettily decorated with flags of the
nations and portraits of men and
women wbnm the nation horrors,
