TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. - A terrible
accident occurred at a C. P. R. cross-
ing in Mullett township, about 3 miles
from here, Wednesday morning.
While Mrs, Robt. 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.

MrssioNs no ORINA.-The Stratford
Beacon speaks of a rev. gentleman,
formerly of Ethel circuit as follows :-
Ray. J. L. Steware, B. 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.

Rev. Wm. Pemba% minister of the
Methodist Church, Monkton, died
sudtleuly at the parsonage Monday
from heart disease. No warning of
his end was given, as Mr, Penhall had
been in the best of health, having
occupied his pulptt at both services on
Sunday last. The late Mr. Penhall
was in the 57th year of his age, hav-
ing been in the ministry of the Metho-
dist Church for 88 years. He was
born in Engla-nd, but came to Ca,narla,
early in life and decided to enter the
work of the ministry. Rev. Mr. Pee -
ball entered Victoria Oollege, then
situated in Coboerg, and upon grad-
uating took up the active work of the
ministry. Rev. Mr. Penhall was well
known in Ontario, having, during his
years of service, spent terms in the
following places Appin, Bryanston.
Elinsville, Sparta, Sb. Johns, Corunna,
Blyth, Atwood and here where death
occurx.ed. He was ever willing to help
anyone who might need his assistance
and was greatly respected and beloved
by the people for whom he worked
and by his fellow ministers. Mrs.
Penhall, who survives her husband, is
a daughter of Samuel Runt, of Lon-
don. Two daughters are also left to
mourn their father's loss, The re-
mains were taken to London from
where the funeral took place on Wed-
needay afternoon. The funeral was
held'Vednesday afternoon from the
residence of ' A. M. Hunt, South
