Each letter is 12 feet by 10 feet and is placed on the side of the steep hill in front of the tomb. These letters are to be painted white and can be seen from almost every point in the town. This "work is being done under the direction of Mr. McCreath : who spoke to the children on Saturday.

REPORT ADOPTED ANNIVERSARY AT UNITED CHURCH S. S., AT ST, ANDREW''' eA large congregation was presen on Sunday evening at St. Andrew' Presbyterian Church to welcome former son of the Manse, Rev. Davi Perrie, now pastor of St. Andrew' Church, North Battleford, .Sask, ` Speaking on conditions in eSaskat chcwan, he stated, that although North Battleford was far removed from the drought area, yet starvat ion and unemployment stalked thrt streets on every hand. Although there are only forty Presbyterian Churches in that prov- ince, the work of the church is go- ing forward in spite of all the trou- bles that beset it, and the member- ship is steadily increasing. He spoke of Saskatchewan as the melting pot of Canada, where manyraces, creeds and people become Canadians and the Church must help them to learn Canadian customs and ideals, as their outlook is so totally different from ours. It is a very dif- t s a d S u feselt task but the Sunday Schools t:nurches are doing a great work in this regard. Although these tithes are unique in the history of the tistory of the West, man's infirmity niay be God's opportunity and, in spite of all, will emerge stronger than before. He told how greatly appreciated had been the car loads of provisions and clothing which had been sent from. the East last year, and how they had helped alleviate the suffer- ing and want. It will be many years before the{ Churches in the West will be self- supporting, and they will always be very thankful for the help they may receive from their more fortunate friends in the East.
