" ;DEAT1b"OF MRS. J. W. McEW;AN. ; Much regret was felt when it be- came known last .,Friday morning' that Mrs. 3, W. McEwan had passed away, after a brief illness. , Mrs, McEwan was the only daugh- ter of Mr. and . Mrs. Walter Mair. ..She was a healthy,. vigorous young woman and, until less than two weeks before her death,. was the pioturje'•*f health. Suddenly she was oaken; with ata attack of septic pneumonia and, in spite of all that could be done for her she failed to recover. n The afternoon before she died her state }vas considered somewhat improved and it washoped she might pull through, but during the night she morn- ing the early $m sink began n b a e6 led. f , her spirit "T felt about de big as a grain of jndicee. And that in China, as else - hand," was the remark of one lady yyhere, Christianity had won enemies after the lecture, em she recalled the vastness of the universe, the cons- Partitive ons- the Earth ' e ins; ni£icance of ai atry g n absolute m and the t great se in the Y insignificance of the individual human being on ,the Earth. • Prof.: Chant ,illustrated his lecture by. a number of'; very interesting views,, showing the relative positions of the Sun, Moon acid planets,' actual, photographs of the sun' and moon, of eclipses, the, miriads of, stars, et . Many. of these were of very `recent date .and were very illuminating. Fahey a "close-up" . of the moon, where its - seams and ridges could be studied? The anan-in-the-moon must have been hiding' ;behind one of the mountable when these were taken, as he nowhere appeared. But „Prof. Chant glibly described the 'different features, the seas and bays, (although it is now known there is nonyater on the moon) are named and Mr. Chant pointed them out with.. the matter of factness of a. teacher teaching a geog reply lesson of China or the United States. ' , ,. Mars is 'of course • the most inter- esting planet to' us upon "the.Earth. as it is' the nearest and can be studied' more closely. It has been settled that there is vegetation on the planet,. -Prof. Chant declared, and if vegeta- tion, probribly: animal -life, but this has not been proved. Mars will again approach the earth in -December of next: year. Venus is now a very beau- tiful and brilliant morning star, as it was a much -admired evening ,star last 'summer„ while Jupiter is an ev- ening star. These stars are worth watching for. The morning one, of course, calls for an early rising; but the sight repays. the, effort, while the evening star is easily discerned ;when the slay is clear, in the southeastern sky in the early evening. Prof, Chant can reel off the exact distance itis to each of these stars them Mire earth and •can describe their relative positions at My given time. lIe says it has been established be- yond-reasonable"'doilbt _tihat,ehe plan- ets pee composed of the same mater- ials as the'cicrth but so far they have not been able to discover "Whether csi• not they support any animal life, It is supposed, too,', that some of the' p distant bright; stars may be centres of solar systems, just as the sun is of ours" No doubt in tate next decade or so many other interesting discov cries 'will be made 'which will add .greatly to the sum of knowledge of these wonderful things.

They would render no aid but loft her'to work: out her own sal- vation; Russia was then appealed to and met in vain. For several years past numbers of students have b ,chosen and sent to Russia to be edu- cated where they imbibe Soviet teaching, and comae home to spread their new' -faith.' But she thought niilitaiisni was the greatest curse in China today. Rival leaders are' eon- stantly arising,' with new aims, and each needing' soldiers to impress them upon the country.
