CHURCH NOTES.
Rev. D. 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".

To the Editor -
1 commend to yeur readers the fol-
lowing from the `Pioneer.
"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."
