rifice on your part was to great. Our
welfare, your first thought. Your
constant devotion and untiring efforts
were always manifest, so much so,
that we could not come in contact
with you without feelings of inspira-
tion. We cannot find words to ad•
equately express the regret we feel
at your removal from the class and
school. We trust, however, that you
will be slightly compensated in know-
ing that it is our purpose to aspire to
the nobility of character which your
teaching has encouraged. We pray
that our Immanuel may'have the con-
tinuous leadership of your life and
that some clay we shall be united in the
"Summerland of Song."
As a slight token Qf our appreciation
we ask you to accept this rocking
chair and as you use it you will re-
member the girls of "The Loyal
Blues," of Wingham Methodist 8, S,

LETTER FROM LOS ANGELES
The following very interesting letter
was received by Mr. R. H. Anderson
of West Wawanosh, from his daugh•
tars, Misses Edna and Margaret, who
left Toronto with the Cuthbert Tour-
ing party to attend the California Ex-
position:
Los Angeles, Cal.,
' July 17th, 1015.
Dear Father;—
Our cards and notes have kept you
posted all along the way. As we are
in this city over Sunday you will get a
real long one this time. -
We left London at noon on July 6th.
Our special train consists of eight care,
four pullman, one compartment, the
recreation car, dining oar and the bag..
gage car, Our party consists of one
hundred and twenty people of which
the majority are Toronto people. We
arrived in Chicago at 10 p. m., we had
a little wait there of an hour.
Next morning when we awoke we
were two hundred and sixty miles
from Chicago, and everywhere we
looked the country was flooded. On
account of a bridge being washed out,
we had to go three hundred miles out
of our way.
We saw the Mississippi several times
along the way and crossed it just
before we got to Hannibal. It is very
wide there and of a dirty reddish color.
As we were crossing the river we could
see Mark Twain's monument at the
top of the high bank,
We reached Kansas city at 0155 p.m.
and had till 7.30 for an auto drive, we
went twenty-three miles through the
best part of the city, we saw the
homes of some of the millionaires,
among them that of Lula Long, the
great horse -woman, we bad a little
excitement while there, The auto in
which were seven of us stalled eight
times, we gave up hope of making the
train but fortunately for us it didn't
leave on time.
The morning after leaving Kansas
city we were out on the prairie, I pot
my first glimpse of big wheat fields.
We left that region for an
other where almost nothing grew but
the wild sunflower, the state flower of
Kansas, we would see au occasionally
lonely but and the cunning little
prairie dogs were everywhere.
We arrived in Denver about 3 p. w,
on Thursday. Arnold Odium a n d
Marguerite met us at the station, they
took us all around the city in their
car. After supper we went out to
Prospect Point for a look at the dis-
tant mountains. We spent the rest of
the evening at Lakeside, an amuse-
ment park. We left Denver at mid-
night.
Friday morning we were in Colorado
Springs at the foob of the mountains.
Pike's Peak stands out more distinctly
than the others because it is higher
and snow capped, I won't try to de-
cribe the mountains because I cannot.
they are wonderful. in the morning
we went to the Seven Fails in the
Cheyenne Canyon. We went by
street car to Statton Park, and a tally-
ho the rest of the way. To get to the
Canyon we went through the Pillars
of Hercules, two huge rocks with just
a roadway between, when we looked
back they appeared to have closed
behind us and abut us in the Canyon,
we were surrounded by the rooky sides
of the Canyon rising almost sheer for
hundreds of feet. Farther on we came
to thhouse where Helen Hunt Jack-
son
Jac -son used to Iive,she was buried there at
her own request, with no monument
except that each traveller who visited
the spot should drop a atone on the
grave. We went farther up the wind-
ing road to the Falls, there are seven
distinct falls, the only example of such
in the world, there is not a great
volume of water but they are very
high. There is a stairway of two hun-
dred and eighty-five steps to the top.
In the afternoon we visited the Cave
of the Winds and the Garden of the
Gods up the William's Canyon. We
went by street car as far, as we could
and then up the mountain road in
autos, it winds back and forward like
a snake with about a dozen turns
before it reaches the top. In one place
in the Canyon we had to lean toward
the inside of the car because the road
is so narrow, it takes some careful
driving to take a big car through
without touching the rocks. I think
they have to be even more careful in
coming down the mountain, as the
road le so steep and the turns so short.
The Cave of the Winds is at the top
of the mountain, over seven thouhand
feet above sea level. Tho cave is just
as nature left it except for electric
lighting. A guide Went with each ten
people. There are large chambers
with narrow winding passages leading
to smaller one, all through the cave
there are the most 'Wonderful roek
formations, stalactites hang d 0 w n
from the top and stalagmites point up
both are formed from the "mineral
metier out of the dripping water. In
some of the chambers the roof is oov
ered With beautiful fotrmatlone which
resemble corals. In the lower part of
the cevd we were two hundred and
flfty feet below, Where we entered, In

which extended erp thirty► feet in the
shape of a Well and make your Wish
