Dear Sir, --Some of the things
that are going on convince the that
parents and teachers should tell the
young people more to lead Christian
lives, and warn then, For example,
here as a testimony from "The ,Up-
per Room"; A man tells that thirty-
three years ago he came to America
with six companions. All were of the
sante age and the same nationality.
All began work in the coal fields of
Illinois. A few months after landing
this many gave his heart to Christ.
The other six boys refused to have
anything to do with it, - One night
three of them were killed in a
drunken brawl. Later the other
three killed two men and are now
serving life sentences.

looking the shining waters of the Northumberland Strait in Nova
Scotia, many of the seamen saw the children of the Dutch royal family
