Perrie preached in the Pres- byterian Church at Chatham on Sun- day last and Rev. H. Dickie, D. D., of Chatham, conducted the services in St. Andrew's Church, CHURCH OF ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE On Thursday evening last an address on "Missions in India"was given by Mr. R. W. Allin, Educational Secretary of the Missionary Society of the Church in Canada, in the basement of St. Paul's Church. Mr, Allin is a very delightful speaker and gave an interesting ac- count of the work of the Church among the natives of the District of Kan gra on the boundary of Thibet. The address was .illustrated by a series of splendid lantern slides showing the condition of the natives of India and their very pressing need of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The speak- er was listened to with much pleasure by those present as evidenced by the hearty applause which greeted the vote of thanks moved by Mr. Alderson and seconded by Mr. Nash. The meeting closed with the beautiful hymn, "Fight the Good Fight", and the National An- them. Mr. Allin is not a stranger to the congregation of St. Paul's having lIelped to conduct a series of mission study classes here about two years ago, and many are pleased to see him again. Sunday evening Rev. E. G. Dymond preached the third of the series of special sermons on the "Four Last Things", "Hell" taking as his subject "Fear not them which kill the body but fear him who is able to cast both body and soul into Hell". The preacher drgw the attention of his congregation to the many references in the New Testament to the punishment of those who live wickedly in this life, and the just and perfectly natural retribution which follows a Godless life in this world, in contradiction of the theories propragated by some that there is na "Hell". He said it was as one lived here in likeness to Christ or without Christ so would each one find their own spiritual state in the life to come, and left with his hearers the solemn warn- ing that each one was fitting himself here for that state in which he would live in the life hereafter. Next Sun- day, the last in Advent, the rector will preach on the subject, "Heaven". There will be a celebration of the Holy Communion next Sunday at 8.30 a.m. *hen the Brotherhood of St. An- drew will attend in a body. Wednesday evening service at 7.30 Subject "God's Workers". • MARRIED SMITH—Ross—At "Fairview," the home of the bride, Elizaneth street, on December Otli, 1914, by Rev. A. J. Mann, B. A., Mr John E.

DRINK AND CRIME. The girl who is a good cook usually deserves a better husband than she gets. It's easier to make a bad matter worse than it is to make a good mat- ter better, This is a free country, but you should be ashatned to say some of the things you think. The more a man makes love to a woman the more she admires another man to whom she has to make love. When a young man begins to attend church regularly it's an easy matter to discover the female in the case. PARTING.

"A Grand Jury sitting in Chicago a few days ago made a deliverance upon the liquor question which ought to have the careful consideration of everyone who seeks the welfare of his fellows. It said:" "We find that a large percentage of the crime brought to our attention is caused directly by drinking malt or al- coholic liquors, and we call the attention of the public to the need of more stringent regulation of this traffic. We find that a large percentage of those charged with crime are from seventeen to twenty-five years old and that in nearly every case they drank malt or alcoholic liquors before or during the commission of the crimes for which they were indicted. We seriously question the wisdom of the state entering into a partnership with these interests for the sake of an apparent profit (through the license ey- stem) but which is really a dreadful economic loss, and through this part- neribip feeding drink to these boys with one hand while with the other hand it mates out punishment for wrongs in which the etate is really a participant." 11.
