The guest Speaker, Mrs.: Edgar

address full of interest to , the

heard from a returned missionary
from South China, who had ex-
perienced "brain washing" and im-
prisonment after Communist 'rule
began. The story was a revelaition
of the cruelty of Communist nieth-
ods. As an example, the first day's
training in a school under com-
munist rule consised of requiring
the children to repeat endlessly "I
have no father; I have no mother;
there is no God," 'In this way
worship of the state and depend-
ence upon it are indocrinated.
The closing nete of the address
was an appeal fer all to be active
in the Christian life to help coinbat
the evils of Communism.

the train came and carried the
band away. But they would be
there at night to see the return.
Now we no longer have a. parade.
With the use of cars and after-
wards' of trucks, the, business of
the railway gradually diminished,
Slowly it was realized that in this
matter, as in many others, we live
in a different era from that in
which We grew up.
Trains are still running on our
line, hut trucks carry much of the
livestock and other goods that
used to be sent by rail and the
passenger traffie is very small. We
are not using to any great extent
the railway we helped to pay for.
. The edict has gone forth—Eilue-
vale station wilt be dosed on No-
vember 15th. Laet September no-
bee was given, that the railway
would not receive or deliver mail

since been by truck and bus.
