JUST OPENED OUT —AT THE— • re 0 s h aheap a Store, , • From Varougar, The following letter, from Rev. Mr Thomson, formerly of Brueefield, to Rev. Me. McDonald, has been handed us for publication :- - VANcouvm, June 214 1886 , . my DEAR MR. MCDON 1LD I 1 1 .: ,— lave long thought of writing you but I have , been so busy gathering up the people rapidly filling up the city and getting them into our church, and the anxiety of erecting two - churches, that I really have not had time Now I have to write you under very distressing cir- cumstances. You have no doubt heard of the terrible fire we had lastSabbath It broke out on the west side of the city about 2.30 p. in., and while we were going to Sabbath School we could see large clouds of smoke and heard the . crackling of timbers, but we have been so used to the lamming of timber and sinoke for the last year, we paid no heed to it. At 3 p. m. I dismissed :the scholars, there was so much smoke in the church, and went to our house. On looking back the church had caught, • and inside of 30 minutes from the time we left it was a mass of flames. We had a hard time to save a few things in the house, and some of what we did save wets stolen by the Siwashes (Indian men), t e groun and our house was burned tothe d along with others. - It isimpossible to describe the scene. The shrieks of women were 'awful and heart-rendieg. We had been, doing our best since com- ing here to get our • house refurnished, and had been out a good deal of ex- perm, but in half an hour nearly all was a heap of ruins. Being Sabbath, we happened to have our best clothes on and the rest went in the fire. But i don't feel so much about our personal loss as about the church. It was occu- pied only four Sabbaths. - We were getting the subscriptions paid so as to, meet payments as they came due, and would have been all paid by August lst. We had some insurance, but that will do no more than pay our indebtedness, and now it will be impossible to collect any thing on the subscription list, as our people are all left helpless. Only a few wei. •e insured, the insurance having got so high as 6 per cent., and -some policies were cancelled the week before the fire on account of the danger of fire, and so many people nave to spend what they earn in building and attending to the comfort of their families. - Our people long to have a church again, but are not able to build. Will you be so kind as to bring the matter before your Pres- bytery for me at the July meeting and ask each of the congregationsto do something for us, and do the best you can in Seaforth. We have succeeded so far insecuring the largest congregation,' and we wish to keep it so. From July 1st we would have been self-sustaining. I don't know how it may go with us now, as a number of our people have left. There were no houses for them; they may after a time come back •but just now our 'congregation suffers 'from want of a building. de great deal Of building is going on, and the place, no doubt, will soon be built up again, so that We may soon be able to meet run- ning expenses, but meanwhile we need aid to build. We had a very fine or gan, from Doherty & Co., Clinton, with which the congregation , was delighted, probably the finest in this Province, and it was also destroyed. ' It was used only four Sabbaths, and as Mrs. Thomson has had to lead the singing in the church so far, I don't know how we may get along without it. The people have lost their Bibles and -hymn books, for many brought their books to morning service and left them expecting to take them home after evening service.' We little thought that morn'ing when we left our church it would be the last time to meet in it. , Mrs. Thomson has been sick since the fire from the effects of the scorching heat and smoke and from a fall, in which she wrenched the muscles of her left side trying to save a few dishes. She is able npw to be out of bed, but not to walk. I have kept lip wonderfully myself, but it will be a long time before we can be as comfortable as `before the fire. , We are thankful though ; we have plenty to eat. I saved a few of my best books; I tried to save my menu- scripts, and brought them out blazing and had to drop them. We had very little clothing saved, Mrs. Thomson has est of hers, my brother lost lost the b. .e his trying to save my horse and- buggy. The fire made a clean sweep of every- thine in the place. . Men who Passed • s• through the Chicago fire say that •was nothing compared to this for intensity, rapidity and the perfection of its work. There has been much loss of life, though 1 cloht think it will ever be known how pro% e bene 'many died. I trust it will • he"• &lel to the inhabitants, although it is a hard lesson, but hopeit may be blessed of alod to the salvation of souls. * , * * * * * Plead with Brucefield to help, glad they are settled again, and hope from my heart they have got a good man. For ourselves we have been more for tunate than some. We got a. little cabin, saved from the fire, near put-ourf False Creek bridge, to put -our heads in. It is a tough experience. A relief committee has been formed and a good deal of money lute come from all parts to help, but, Mr. McDonald, I cannot come down to ask relief. The first mate of one of the ships in the harbor brought me a pair of shoes and some socks. 1 was glad to -get them, but it was against the grain to have to take them. If that committee Would give- money to buy lumber to build a hall to preach in I would go for that, but, oh, it is haed to tell what to do. There is really much destitution In the place at present, that 18 being relieved as the funds come from various cities; And amid all that is sad there have been some amusing things,and they will be good jokes for you regard- ing the fire : Two young lawyers had saved everything from their room, and while the building was blazing one asked 4.1–, .-.41..,.. 4,-. ..,. 4 . a Ildl 41-iniii-TI14- 11A Iluti time two some I ensiled and pants the the his ing an hol these jewelry Another vvhat was pale was dous so that I which too, immediately, through ye:tit oura John lop, Lapslie, by been keeping get I Presbytery from nearly the look tions fathers Presbytery them. and in from Columbia, regard when off farewell faithfully, this uated dens ings terraces A artistic of the very other "when majority pass hibition, various not race ed these -Coe been minds try At aboriginal .usual a fire other, Afound inals figures modelled,and In one and laudable have various of -himself village to•another and —and more such Of pleteness the specially or served And were probably , ous most first g wge trophy representing isegenes w'prk d tl LI tlie up ved native ornaments sion.

The court is filled with speei- mens of lace,furniture, lacquer work, &c Following the directions of the official guide, we now find ourselves again among Indian surroundings (thus illus testing the faulty arrangements we have touched upon) and enter the Indian pal- ace. The first court of this magnificent structure is surrounded by workshops, in which weavers, jewellers, carvers, and other native artificers, are busy at their work. Here we have a high blooded Brahmin contentedly winding silk upon a reel—for in India high birth is verY often accompanied by p,overty. At in tervals these workmen sing together to y( inake the time pass more pleasantly, . . their song taking the form of a monoton- ous chant, not at all pleasing to Euro- pean ears. Passing- on we reach the Durbar Hall, a perfect maze of finely carved woodwork. ' The scene is now changed to Australia, and we begin our explorations with New South Wales. This section is specially strong in photograhs, and includes a large photograph of the New Southrespectfully Wales contingent, containing every officer and private. The next court is assi ned t WesternA t l• g o us ra ia. It contains a representation of a forest of Karel timber. This is one of the largest trees in the world, some specimens haying been found over . 400 feet high, and 60 feet in circumfer-few ence at the base. Queensland is repre- sented by a large collection of industrial products.; South Australia sends us one of the best Modelled forest scenes in the exhibition; and Fijj supplies a small collection of native products. We now come to Victoria, the most important Australian colony. Here thegold mines naturally receive a .good "deal of atten- ton. We have besides a wonderfull Y natural forest scene. The pater families is skinning an opossum, the mother is preparing a -fire whereon to cook it, and a child lies on the turf in eager expecta- tion of the coming feast Leaving Australia, we pass through old London, an attractive harvest for antiquaries. This interesting memento of the past has been retained from form- er exhibitions. Excellent as the work is, e must confess it falls short when corn- Wm pared with the similar reproduction of old Edinburgh at the International Ex- hibition there We now reach the Cape of Good Hope, and find exhibits of ostriches and other wild animals distinctive of the colony. , The Most interesting thing here is an exhibition of all the processes to which diamonds are subjected. In the first place they have of course to be found, so we have a large model of a diamond mine. • But the most attractive , oper- ation is the poliehing of these gems. The rough part of the process is laboriously effected by rubbing two diamonds to gether—hence the phrase "Diamond cut diamond." The stone is then im- bedded in a matrix of lead, which keeps it firmly in position, and 'applied to an iron disc revolving with enormous rapid- - ity, the disc beina strewn over with dia-. t'. mond dust, The workmen show great skill in making the numerous facets of the stoue equal and regular Truly we are kept journeying round the globe in a most wonderful way, for now we are landed at New Zealand Here the frozen meat industry occupies a conspicuous place. We have also a number of Maori exhibits—weapons, im- plements, canoes, &c. The. Canadian Dominion has one of the finest courts in the exhibition. There is a large hall filled with ma- chinery in motion—reapers, binders, threshing mills and ail sorts of labor- saving appliances. Canada here shows that she is in no way behind her rivals of older standing in the matter of manu- facturing enterprise. Considerable space is naturally given to fisheries exhibits ; we have models of boats, fishing tackle and appliances, and a splendid collection of canoes. The rest of the section is taken up with Canadian minerals and manufactured goods. Canada is special- ly strong in all kinds of household fur- niture, and shows a splendid collection of pianos and organs. There is also a model representing the famous Montreal Ice Palace. - ' We cannot here dwell specially on the exhibits from British Guiana, Hong Kong, North Borneo, the West Indies, &c. British Honduras sends a Most in- teresting case of Aztec remains, consist ing of pottery, utensils images, stone weapons and implements. Cyprus produces a most interesting court. We are here shown the method ? which has been adopted for catching locusts, and which takes advantage of the partiality of the animal for proceed • ing in a straight line. By means of this ingenious trap island has now prae- - tically been freed from the scourge. Our last section is Malta, which shows some excellent specimens of the lace and silver filigree work, for which this island has long been famous. We have also samples of inlaid marble work, carved , and some eauti u spect- stone vases 1 b "f 1 • mens of Venetian glees. • - Takine it as a whole, the exhibition is a undoubadly one of the best that has ever been seen in London. It has brought together all the ends of the earth, and enables us to form some adequate idea of the immense resources of the widel3, scattered empirett- o e f G • eat . Britain. R. ALLARDICE.
