Scott and her two boys, one 12 and the other 14 years of age, were driving to town, an engine and tender running light to Goderich, caught them and killed Mos. Scothand one boy instantly. The other lived a few minutes after being picked up. The horse escaped. Mrs. Scott and her sous were members of a 'widely known and highly -respected family, and the awful tragedy has plunged the entire district in gloom. It would appear that Mos. Scott was endeavor- ing to get across ahead of the locomo- tive, but only the horse cleared the track when the clash came.

A., the mission- ary who was sent to China by the Stratford district Epworth League and who is home on furlough, preach- ed at Central Methodist church San - day and at Trinity church in the eveu- big. His address at night on the sub- ject, "New China," was interesting in the extreme, showing the develop- ment that had taken place in the great Oriental empire during the past few years. He traced up the history of China for, many years, revealing the the sudden development in the dis- covery of natural resources, the pro- gress in education and commerce. The speaker pointed out that there was a great opportunity for the Chris- tian church in China ; the door was not only wide open but off its hinges. He urged the church to greater efforts in the mission field, particularly in China where the slumbering millions were awakening every (ley to the fact that they were part of a great nation. . S.
