A letter from W. T. Mooney, of
Grand Coulee, Sask., formerly of Mor-
ris, to TEE POST says :-We are hav-
ing delightfully mild weather with
very little snow but splendid wheel-
ing. 1908 was a good year in this part
as wheat averaged from 20 to 30 bus.
per acre with the price 80 to 90 cents
per bushel. Hope you church people
will use your best efforts to bring
about church union as it is what the
West needs and, I believe, is what
Christ wants His people to do. Long
life to THE POST.
