A tribute to the memory of Phylis
Watson, who just a short time ago
composed verses as a tribute to the
memory of Lloyd' McAully,"a former
school -mate. ,She also has passed
away, through having Had an acci-
dent at school. Although medical aid
did all they could for 'her recovery,
it was without success. The funeral,
largely attended, was held Saturday
to the Sunshine cemetery.
Her teacher and pupils, also eight
flower bearers, all chums of deceased,.
gathered at the gate way while the
remains were tenderly borne by six
more of her pals.
Phylis was a bright student and
had nearly completed' a year, taking
up the H.igh School work. She was
of a loving and cheerful disposition,
and radiated sunshine wherever she
went, especially in the home did she
prove herself a ministering angel, ev-
er ready with her love and patience
to help anyone in sickness.
As we remember her face today,
It was filled with love and kindness
And good -will from dawn till late,
Oh! what joy and peace from Heaven
From her face do radiate,
So a little bit of Heaven
Here on earth, does with us dwell.
In remembrance I i the lovely re o Ph r f lis y,
Can our memory scarcely tell
When it was that first she left us
To go to a land so bright and fair,
That our thoughts .of earth and Heav-
en, ....
All so interwoven were.
1'Tis' the borderland of Heaven,
Just to think of her sunny smile,
How she brightened up the corners;
Of our troubled hearts the while;

Speaks on Formosa,
Mrs. G. W. McKay, inissionary of
Formosa, gave a geographical outline
of Formosa, Over 300 years ago the
Dutch 'went there to try and Christ-
ianize the people. Strange to say the
Bible they used has never been found
by these missionaries. Jana then
carne and they have been under Jap-
anese power ever since. Three na-
tive preachers, one a converted hotel -
keeper are very popular speakers, and
are dated a year ahead. Twelve
hours before they speak the police
are notified as to when and where
they speak, Even if a calf is born
the police are notified and it is nam-
ed and a record kept.
In the school that Mi•, and Mrs,.
McKay teach there are 250 boys, It
is hard for these boys to become
Christians as .they are ridiculed at
home in every way, several genera-
tions being under one roof, and Mrs,
McKay asked for the prayers of the
people for those boys who are trying
to be Christians. She said the people
were very superstitious; she would
not dare go into one of their homes
and touch a baby: For if anything
happened that child inside five years
they would hold her responsible, The
oldest daughter they will keep but
any other they will give away'. or ex-
change for source other girl and bring.
her up for a daughter-in-law. They
have a self -sustained church there. It
has been re -built three times, Once
it was destroyed by flood. Now it is
a beautiful church built on a hill and
still self-sustaining,' The meeting
closed with a few words from Rev.
Reoch, of Manchuria, and a.
