Rogers to the 'Gerrie Vide tte, ) Mr , Editor, •abota ,three years ago I eetet wene three leetexe under the above heading, which you were good enough to emblesh, and I was pleased to learn froM the eleecendente ,of Ionic of the worthies named therein, that the let - tees were much aPPreelated and it has Jost /loco/Ted to nae that a few more notes •(from memory) enight not 'be without interest. At the District meeting in Harris - ton in May Leto, the pastor of the Howick Circuit, said to the writer, 'Ate you corning to Gorrie for the next year?"•, Of course I could not answer, for it those days', the juuiors, at /east had no intimation as to where they might be sent However, -the' "first draft" contained eny,name, (with Mr. ICershaw's) for Gorrie and there it remained. " The church had become too small to accommodate the large congrega- tion $ and a gallery had just been built on either side, and re -opening services were .held the first Sunday in July, e8e6; Rev. Matthew Swann being the preacher for the day. The following •Sabbath I preached in Gerrie ad Wroxeter to good eongrega,tions: It , would seem thaf almost every person ) went to church in those days, and Gamic was noted in that regard. The ' Rev. Edward Crage, who preceded me by about 12 years, in a recent let- ter said, "I well remember Howick and its strong Methodist. community— fervent prevailing prayers, the •glow- ing testimonies, the knowledge of the deep things of God, the wonderful sacramental services and lovefeasts in which sometimes a half-dozen would be on their feet at the same )1. time. I have seen nothing like it since." t Wee opened special services in Bel - more in September. This appointment had been a part of Teeswater circuit, o and we did not have a church build- a eng, blitoworshippecl in the Temper- e ance Hall. The services were blessed. Some 30 to 40 persons—many of them were heads of familieseennited with the church, Eighteen •months,. later they decided to build, end on July 4, th, e8e8, the borner-stone of the new Prick enureh.was laid by Mr, Johe MeDon,eld, the merchant prince of Toronto, who gave ag excellent ad- dress and also coneributed ea0o,00. The opening Services were held in October, and a few months later a most wonderfully seeeeseeel revival was held there under the labors of Rev. E, Tessant, assisted by his col- league, Mr, Geo. Greer. If any remain they can bear siniilar estimony as to the extent and genuiridness of that Work of grace, Two events transpired that year which impressed nee in a solemn man- ner. In lerovernber, Samuel, a most vigorous and pronsisieg young Chris- tian man (aged te), son of Mr. Geo. Greer, was seized with typhoid fever, which baffled medical skill, and he passed to the great beyond. At the end of June 1877, a young man, nam- ed Galbraith, living about 3 miles north ef Gorxie, met with an accident which eermineted fatally. I was pres- ent at the funeral service held in the Gorrie church the day before Rev. Kershaw and I left the circuit, and I was permanently impressed with the great sermon which Mf. Kershaw peeeched for he was always preetat- ed) 'from the words "For God ;lath not appointed us to wrath but to ob- tain saivatiori by Our Lord, Jesus Christ, who died for: us, that whether we Wake or sleep, we should live to- gether with Him." Upon our leaving a presentation as made to each of us—novel in this egard—that I knew of his, and he new of mine, but neither of us had ny intimation of our on. Among he 40 coraributors to the pleasing vent 1 thinkonly one resides in Gore' ie. The list of names accompanying Ile gift was preceded with the words Collected by Mrs, Jas. Leech and rs, Richard. Ross, as a slight token f regerd for their esteemed friendi nd minister. Rev. D. Rogers, on thei vent of his leaving the Flowick that is to say, june 18th, ISee„, a very largely ettended meeting Was held in the grove adjoining the viliage at which addresses were given by Mes- srs. Teomas Farrow, Wm. BecDougall and John A. MeDoneld, 1 was never so much interested in political as in church matters, end I cannot recall inuelt that was said that day but I suppose such gatherings are neces- sary to advise people as to their needs. I heard a man who said to a political speaker, "I Suppose you are going to make some addresses this winter," "Yes" replied the statesman, "I am fleing to tell nty constituents ,exectly what they need." "And what do they need?" ',We' le replied, yours of long ago, D. Rogers. WESTFIELD Me Wm. Weldon took his Sunday School class to an annual picnic at the home of Mr. Wesley Stackhouse, 13rucefield, and on their way they wished at the House of Refuge, an - tort. The boys are delighted with their teacher Mr. Weldon, for taking therh for suth splendid outings. Mr. Geo, Howatt, sr., while getting - ready to go to his son's home, Mr. Wm.

Similarly, you may drop a .1e:secession of 'bricks on •or about the head of a man suffering from a habit 'el' walking under laddees, but if he has in hie head no mental mechanism eaf the kind that puts cause and effect 'together, you will still have difficulty in making him realize that walking :under ladders is by, no means condu- cive to normal health or long life. The same thing may be said of the enan who habitually crosses railwa tracks without giving a thought 't trains. To tite vast majority of me eind, sweeten the sight of v, railway track crossing a' road brings to th imagination a moving train which they now moves eveth unhesitating, undeviating surety e,ccording to an un- sespendable law of nature. They know %het Imam. that law, an object ef less areight and force than the mov- ing Arian will, when struck by it, be beuslied aside with results more or less disastrous to that object. Ixt most eases the imaginatibn sees whet happens if a- frail human body at- -tempts to impede the .progress of the train, and reasonable people act with due precaution. As an aid to these the railways have adopted all possible safeguards and eva,riaings at le)vel crossings, but there are still hu - elan beings *hese imaginittion eppar- ssetly ean aever be stirred and who persist in walking trite certain dints - s *unconcernedly as they, would s into their owe homes.

From the earliest times the legal textbook writers assumed hus- band and wire to be One person 3/3 the eye of the law, "Unica persona quia caro una et sanguis unus," ind from this !standpoint was deduced the legal fiction of the immunity of a wife from punishment for crimecommittedin the presence and therefore under the presumed coercion of her busband. "So great a ,favorite," says Black- stone, "is the female sex Of the laws of England." Regarding the mode in which each rulee of law are for- mulated, Mr: Sheldon Amos says ("Science of Law,"), "a spontaneous practice is first followed and, if good and useful, is generally copied over and over again, the more so as habit and association always render the imitation of an old and familiar practice easier than inventing a new and untried one." • But as Sir Henry Maine points out ("Village Communities," P. 58), "if tradition be not kept steady by cor- responding practice it may be warped by all sorts of extraneous influences." Again, Mr. Sheldon Amos observeg (ibid., p. 129), "the same course of legislation ,must be pursued with re- spect to the legal distinctions between men and wemen as between men and men. Thee is not a qeostion of polity, but of moral necessity, and it will, eisoner or later, be recognized to be so." Leaving the academic for the more practical side of the question, we would draw atteedieu to elle eeee of R. vs. Hughes, in; which Baron Thsonwn eqe4, it down that if a wife •Taiiiiiiniti'a felony in the presence of her husband the law, out of tender- ness, for the wife, raises a presumP- flair prima facie and prima facie only, that the felonious act was done un- der the coercion of the husband, but it is absolutely necessary that the husband should in such case be actu- ally present and taking part in the transaction. This eiresumption, how- ever, may be rebutted, as it actually was in the case last referred to, by evidence that in committing the fel- ony the wife was the more active party. , In another case, E. vs. Cruse, a 'woman was convicted with her hus- band of assaulting their child on the ground only that the presumption of coercion was rebutted by the active part taken by the wife in the ferocious ill-treatment of her child. It was in this case that a dictum of Mr, justice Burroughs was quoted, • "that if a wife Was in coraria,ny with her husband the law always presum- ed her to be under his control,. tnougn the jury, being married. men, prob- ably knew that the contrary was of- ten the fact." A quite opposite view was taken in anther case, R. vs. Price, in whicn a woman charged with her husband -with uttering coune terfelt coin was, by direction of the presiding Judge, acquitted on the same presumption, and in the case of R. vs. Torpey (aspault) 'a similar 6ettiee Was followed. The authorities upon this question do not; egafortunaeely, previcie an' definite or ileasoned clagisliacatfon of the ease to which this preetimption applies. With regard to this Lord Halsbury said in the case of Brown vs. Attorney -General for New Zealand that the decisions on the subject have not been entirely uniform. It is said by Blackstone that a married woman is responsilole for all crimes which though committed in the pres- ence of her husband are, like murder, male in se; but this dictum. is ob- viously too wide, for the presumption of coercion has been applied to such felonies as burglary and larceny. The law as to whether this presumption of coercion may be extended \ to of- fences of misdemeanor seems to be no leas nebulous. Blackstone's opin- ion was that in all misdemeanors tbe wife may be found guilty with the husband, but here again exceptione have been made. It was held (R. vs. Williams) that a wife was rightly convieted with her husband of keeping a brothel and "the ratio decided in that case was that the wife might probably have as great, nay a greater share in the criminal management of the house and that the offence was such as might gen- erally be presumed to be managed by the intrigues of tile set." If this conclusion is accurate, how far ean the presumption of coercion properly be applied under present and probable future eoeditions? Raving regard to the provisiohs 'of the representation of the people set, 1918, and of the sex disqualification (removal) act, 1919, can it reason. - ably be argued that a married wo- man raest in committing a erimival act jointly With her hesbattel be deemed to act under his coercion? Supposing that a wife is a Parlia- mentary elector, and in that capacrtY capable of influencing. legfalatioe, is ies it to be assumed that she is not re- the sPoneible to the laws which she has Cath indirectly made?

Tent preaching is onaeof the new features in evangelistic work on the Mission Field. A friend in Canada of the Honan Mision, China, presented a suitable tent to Rev. W. H. Grant, who with his wife, and several Bible worrien and seven or eight native evangelists, have already conducted successful services in several towns and cities. It accommodates about 150 people and in every place it was pitched quite a few converts were re- corded. Mr. Grant, who is the son of the late Rev. A. Grant, the well- known Presbyterian minister of St. Marys, Ont., states that "this has been the most fruitful spring's work it has ever been our privilege to per- form in village preaching." A successor has been called to Rev. Dr. j. C. Massee, leader of "the Fund- amentalists," who lately resigned from one of the strongest Baptist churches in New York to become pastor of the Tremont Temple, Boston. A former Canadian is to take the vacant pulpit, Rev. Dr. Egbert L.

The LutheranS of Ameries, have of- fered considerable criticism of the Protestant Episcopals of New York for not discerning that Luther is a much truer representative of the six- teenth century than Crammer. The controversy grew out of the action of St. John the Divine Cathedral,.

Luther's indoennitable faith and cour- age are referred to in contrast with the testimonies and re -cantations of Crammer. Rev, Charles E. Jefferson of Broad - why Tabeenacle, New York, has been "interpreting America" to his audien- ces, in England. He reminds the people of Britain that the United States consists of "forty-eight com- monwealths under one flag" and often what passes abroad as the opinion of America is but the whim or prejudice of a small portion of the country. A handful of Irislunen in a certain city hissing England or groups of Germans trying to keep the United States out of the war, must not be confused with the real voice of the whole people, As to the League of Nations the true attitude of Americans is not to be slackers.
