Never in the -history of the Chris-

with the extension of time for one

-The Publicity Man
Mr. George Arthur Bernick, of
Alameda, Calif., clied on Vebruat'Y
14, 1920. The deceased has realty
relative in this corrimehite. He wee
a sort of the late Gorge Kernicla
his Mother's maiden ratite beleg,
Jane Oke. Mrs. Thos. Keinick, of
wrote about ten days age from
Chungchow, telling of our misfor-
tune in being in that steamer wreck,
but in our good fortune in all being
saved. The pfIot was careless and
struck a ridge of rocks, where
there was lotof room to go by, but
he was not following the channel.
Ten minutes after she struck the
boat turned over oa her side and
settled clown -that way. We all climb-
ed. but on the side, with life belts on
and waited for boats to come and
take us off. There were fifty Chinese
drowned, but no foreigners. We lost
nearly all our baggage, but we are
thankful that none of our party are
lost.
The early part of the night we
spent at a group of farm houses,
that were so dirty we had to stay
outside_ Abolit one -thirty in the
morning, a company of Chinese sol-
diers came t'o take us to the nearest
town, where we spent the rest of the
night in the • magistrate's house.
That'day at anon, Sunday, December
-7th the Peatiahhataeetteboat, an it's 'way
down river ticked us up and took
us next day back to our mission
station at Chungchawt Before it
went down, they took us back to the
Wreck and we managed to fish our
steamer trunk, but got no trace of
• anything else.
On Tuesday evening, December 9,
another steamer owned by the same
company, picked us up at Chung -
chow and brought us on to Chung-
king, getting here Friday, December
12th. Since that time we have heard
that one of Marjorie's suit cases
has been salvaged, but that is all.
We have been here 310W, ten days
and have been busy buying cloth
and dressmaking. Chinese cloth is
very reasonable in price, and some of
their tailors are fairly good, having
learned their trade in Shanghai. We
will be here until about December
30th, when we will start for Cheng-
tu, a trip of ten days overland. We
will only be there a few days, how-
ever, and then go on one day's jour-
ney further to the city of Penghsien,
(pronounced Penshan). The Marti -
more family are alone there and we
are going up to study the language
there and keep them company.
Everyone is congratulating us on
going there as it one of the pretti-
est cities in the West, and has a
high clear atmosphere, healthier for
one than any other of our cities. So
send our mail in future to Pengh-
sien, West China. Any already sent
to Cheng-tu will be forwarded to us.
We have been assured. that the
Mision will make up financially our
losses in thg wreck, and. if they do,
we will be right on out feet again.
Everyone has been so good to us,
and the rest of the party who were
wrecked. So many things have, been
given to us or loaned. to us until we
could get fixed up ourselves.
We have already had letters from
the twins and Verna in that box of
letters, and yours we had at .Van-
couver. Among other things, now in
the bottom of the Yangtse, is the
large family photo. Could you mail
us another one.
The day after to -morrow is Christ-
mas, and we are to have two Christ-
mas dinners. One at neon, here at
the Mission Home, and the other at
night at Rev. S. W. Sperling's. We
spend next Sunday at Victor Butt's'
home, an old college chum of mine.
Chungking is a big Walled city, at
the juneture of two rivers, and ie
a-
bont the same in population as Mon-
treal. Being a treaty port there are
many foreigners here.
I will write again just before we
start our overland trip, then again
when we arrive in Chentu.
Very best wishes to twins and
Verna. Remember us to Edna. and
the League.
Yours as ever,
Prom St. Marys Sournal
Mrs. Lorne Bede- has received
from her sister, Miss :Elizabeth Wil-
son, an account of the ship-lancr
of the party With which site was pro-
ceedetig up river towards the Mis-
sionnry Station in the interior of
Caine, which is to be some of,Iter
labors. FOrtailately nil the lives ef:
the Missionary party were strved, but

Last week we Pablished the letter
of Mr, Joseph Hawkins, LP., with
regard to the taeat case and the re-
ply which he received, but at that
thee we were not furnished with the
facts and documents which would
give our readers the accused far-
mer's side of the matter. In justice
to him therefore, as we feel that the
Public want to know the whole
story, we are giving space this week
to the material which has not ap..
peafed before. At the second sit-
ting of the Magistrates' Court, the
accused gave his statement under
oath, He said that after he was noti-
fied by the butcher that the animal
had a lump on it's liver and to take
the carcass home, lie did so. Be then
went to Mr. Harry Either, Ex. M.P.P.
for advice. Mr. Eilber called in the
Crediton Veterinary and had him go
and get samples from the carcass for
expert examination.' The Veterinary
and Mr. Either then sent sections
Df eight glands taken from the four
quarters and also a section of the
liver, to the Institute of Public
Health, London, and to the Ontario
Veterinary College, Toronto, for ex-
amination under the microscope, ask-
ing for a report as to whether the
meat was diseased or not. The accus-
ed swore that by his instructions not
a pound of the meat was used by
anyone until these reports came
back. The Institute of Public Health
reported as follews:
Laboratory Number 1601
Date received, December 22, 1919
Date reported, December 23, 1919
Physician 11. A. Eckert, V.S.,
Crediton.
Sections of the glands submitted,
taken from cow, show nothing defin-
itely pathologie.
F. W. Limey, M.D.
Chief Div. Pathology.
O.K., A. J. Slack, Ph. C.,
Acting Director.
This reportewas followed by a let-
ter to the Veterinary as follows:
Dear Sir:
On December 23rd, 1919, I made
examination of sections of Lymph
glands from a cow tor Dr. H. A. Ec-
kert, of Crediton. From this exam-
ination I have been unable to find
anythingethat would suggest an ab-
normal state and therefore nothing
to suggest that this meat was un-
suitable for food.
Very sincerely yours,

Dear Sir:
Your specimens to hand; cannot
find anything abnormal in the glan-
dular tissue.
The livers of cattle often show
abscess formation. and 'provided the
rest of the carcass is mermal it is fit
for food_ The liver of course is earl-
demned.

ter to Messrs. Gladmars & Stranbere-
as follows:

Dear Sirs:
I beg to acknowledge receipt of
your letter of January 31st. re.-ard-
lug the decision given by Dr, 14... E.
Batt as to results of an examina-
tion made by him of specimens sent
by H. A. Eckert, V.S., during Decem-
ber last.
Regarding the qualifications of Dr.
H. E. Batt, I would advise you that
lie was in the service of the Health
Department of the city of Toronto
for a peroid of three years as a vet-
erinary inspector on the Meat In-
spection staff. His position at the
College is that of Pathologist i• n
charge of the Department of Labora-
tory Pathology for the examinations
of specimens for disease. I have no
hesitation in stating that Dr. H. E.
Batt is a rehablelauthority and the
opinion expressed by him on the
specimens examined for Dr. Eckert
is.based on the dedisions made by the
Government Inspectors under the

ada;.,

At the close of the first sittings
ot the Court the Magistrates directed
that speciment of the meat should
be sent to the Provincial Board of
Health for a report and it was left
to Dr. Viaing, one Of the Veterin-
aries for the prosecution, to state
the facts fully. Waen the Court re-
sumed he presented the following
letter which he received in reply, -
Provincial Board of Health
Toronto, Feby. 2nd, 1920.
I have yours of the 31st ult., as
to whether the beef referred to
would be fit for human consumption,

one's taste but I presume if it were
well cooked, all the damage would
be removed.

to -day with as much power as 'a-
foretime." Turn to the New Testa-
ment, there is the Blessed Mother,
Cross of Christ. The Cross is the
symbol not of black disaster, but of
brilliant victory. It tells of the
triumph of good over evil, or right
over wrong, of the spiritual over
material. As we read the story of
Christ crucified and picture to our-
selves the depth of self-sacrifice
made at Calvary, new meanings read
themselves in and out of the old
old story, moving us to higher
reaches of love and endurance and
spelling for us conquest and victory.
If the story of Calvary moves us to
go to Calvary ourselves, if we are
moved to plead in union with His
meritorious pleading for the souls
for wbom he died, then those things
written aforetime were written for
our learning, and we through
