he could return to his mission work

'by a friend, who lied carne from Cali-
fornia.to visit hint. The day after
his arrival at Long Beach he was "ob-
liged to go into the hospital, and he
passed, away in a few hears. Letters
received by members .of .his family
here speak in ;the highest terms of his
life and his work. One who had
worked with him fpr .many, years
said: ":Ere was the most conscien-
tious, the most interested hi itis,work
and,:the most 'deeply spiritual man i
have ever known. Thousands of
people- have been helped by his
prayers and messages." Another
tells of his funeral, which)was said
to be the largest ever: seen in Long

in attendance: The following clipping
appeared in a Long: Branch paper:

THE PARSON GOT
AHEAD IIIlS TIME
TWO' candidates lerthe suffrages of
the people of Chatharn and district, a
preacher and a• doctor, were busy
canvassing' for votes, taking a per-
sonal interest in the work because
each was anxious to help in shaping
the policy of the conning government
of the province. '
Calling- at the hates of -•a' -woman'
voter the preacher was for a tnoment
nonplussed at the predieaMent Pre-
sented, The: poor woman,, had two
children, oiie of thein too young to
be taken putdoors in the cold weather
of election day. A sudden inspiration
seized the parson, and he volunteered
to mind the "'baby if the eater would
take the other child along with her.
That settled the question. The voter
hied herself to the polls to do her
duty,
Shortly .afterwards' the doctor ,also.
a eandidate' and -the family physician
of the woman in the case, reached the
scene . to plead for her vote and in.
fluence, to be met at the door by the
parson with the ?baby in his aims.
The humor of the situation struck
both at the sante time, and -the two
candidates sat down and laughed and
talked about their prospects for elec-
tion, forgetting their political animos-
ities for the time being and wished
each other the best of Iuck.
That's better than in many consti-
tuencies where opposing ,candidates
don't speak to each other either at
election times or other times, their
bitterness being a barrier too, big to
cross, nnueh to their discredit.—

MORE MENNONITES COMING
Look for large Movement from Itus-
six in 1927.
Canada is being seen more that
ever as a land of, opportunity by, the
Mennonites, and before the end of
the present year, nearly 7,000 new'
settlere from Southern Russia will
have made their horhes in the Dom-
inion, according to Bishop Toews, pre-
sident of the Mennonite Colonization
Board.
Over 3,500 Mennonites have set-
tled in Canada and are well establish-
ed and, happy in their adopted coun-
try, Bishop 'Toews said,
The movement of Mennonite set-
tlers to' Canada in 1927 will even sur-
pass that of the present year, be add-
ed, although definite arrangements'
have not yet been made, Those who
conte late this year, will suffer no in-
convenience in the natter of "getting
settled. They will spend the winter
with thea' countrymen in their set-
tlements, and in the retiring will get
lands Inc themselves.
,Bishop Toews intimated that the
Mennonites saw no attraction in Mex-
ico.
