One evening tills week a young imam
and maiden not far from our town
thought they'd enjoy a sail on a raft and
all wee lovely for some time. The even-
ing was beautiful the scenery on the
creek most picturesque ; the zephyrs
gently stirred the waters which reflected
the faces of two mortals gloriously radi-
ant with happiness and mirth. But alas
—the voice of comedy and tragedy must
finish the tale. The raft was small ; the
oar clumsy ; the maiden nervous in her
glee. A power draws the boat towards
the bridge, it reaches it. Smiles and
boat vanish and when the horrified eyes
dare look again nothing is seen but two
bird -like creatures clinging for dear life
to the shaky plank endo of a culvert.
After secretly vowing to escape or taste
the cold waters together, by a supreme
effort they rescue themselves and were
hence wiser but not sadder people. "All's
well that ends well."

WWandby him to the Secretary for 1898

one has been marking out the original
figures and we have bad Mr. Barr at that
game already, Now the facts oro diesel—
For the year 1898 Mr. Barr charged the
patrons of the Ethel cheese factory ten
cents per box for cheese boxes and the
enaleboards, nails and some other items,
in fast all the supplies he bought were
charged separately from the boxes as the
statemeub, a copy of which appeared in
Tnn Pose in my last letter, shows. I

PEnsoaar..—The April number of the
Christian Standard, published at Oinain-
nati, gives the portrait of Rev. Andrew
Scott, of Saginaw, Miob., eon of Adam
Scott, 4th line, and the following interest.
ing historical sketch :—Andrew Soott,
the subject of this sketch, was born in
Melrose, Roxborough County, Scotland,
on Feb. 1311), 1857. When seven years of
ago he came to Canada with his parents,
who settled in the Province of Ontario.
At the age of 21 he was baptized into
Christ by Bro. E. Sheppard, at Lobo,
Ont., having travelled GO miles for the
purpose of obeying Christ in baptism ;
and less than ten weeks afterward he
preached his first sermon at that place.
He entered Hiram College, where he com-
pleted liie course in June, 1881. His first
pastoral work was se Portage La Prairie,
Province of Manitoba, where he was sent
by the Christian women of Ontario to
plant the primitive gospel in the Canadi-
an Northwest. His labors al this place
were nob without discouragements, but
with,a determination to suoaeed, whioh
is one of his characteristics, he proceeded
to overcome every difficulty. D :fag the
iirat year of his pastorate, a Louse of
worship was erected, and at the close of
the sewed year they numbered about 60
members, and owned char '1 property
valued ab about $4,000. A short time he.
fore leaving this, hie first pasal charge,
he was married to Miss Sophia J. Stair,
of that place. He afterwards held pas.
torates at Walkerton, Ont., Suspension
Bridge, N. Y,, and Sterling, I11, from
which place he came to Sae, ew in July,
1800. Under his supervision the work at
this plaoo has shown steady progress.
The membership, which at that time
numbered about 25, only 4 of whom were
males, nom numbers 180, and many have
moved away. A heavy indebtedness,
under whioh the ohoroh was struggling,
has been wiped out, beeides over $800 has
been raised and expended in furnishing
and otherwise improving the chnrah
building. At present a committee, act-
ing conjointly with the pastor, have un-
der consideration the 500011on, in the near
future, of a more commodious house of
worehip in a more central locality. As a
preacher, Bro. Soobt iea clear and forcible
expounder of the truth. He Me no 81)0 i1-
ogy to offer for any, abatement found in
the Bible, and ever mefste o 1 strict aim-
plianoe with all the 1'oquiremente of the
gospel. His missionary zeal knows no
bounds. He regards the world as the
field, and the command to "go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature" as addressed to every one who
can contribute. He ie generous and lib.
anti to a fault, and ie aver ready to make
peesonol eaoridcee that the gospel may be
sent to the benighted ones.
