Some of the own - ens ("we are belling modest) have de- tentions quite often and the other boys do not like to wait for them. At first the boys that got out first took the car, but now all the owners have to be pavesent before "Silver" will run (cu• Make a noise) .' Before the boys leave "Silver" to enter school, each boy takes sseraie part of tbei car with him. A spark plug, a wore, a rear wheel or perhaps the motor. There- fore, "Silver" will not run until all the boys get together and asteemxble the machinery.

KIPPEN Fortunate indeed were the people of Kippers in baying the opportunity of hearing last. Sunday at St. An- drew's Church, Mrs. Gauld, who has spent 46 years as a °missionary Se Formosa. In an informing and ar- resting address, Mrs. Gauld pictured the contrast between Formosa when Vise first went there on October 22, 1592, and the Formosa of today. In early days education was available for boys only. This consisted entire- ly of the study of the Chinese clas- sios and the memorization of Chinese literary characters, of which a know- ledge of at least 4,000 was necessary to facilitate the reading of the clas- sics. After the Japanese took pos- session of Formosa In 1895 the girls, too, found education available. The custom of foot binding was discon- tinued. Before this only immoral wo- men and slaves went with feet un- bound. nbound. , Wonderful advances have been made in communication, educa- tion and medical work. But today the people are suffering much on account of excessive taxation levied to en- able the Japanese to carry on their war in China. Even the domestic cats are taxed. All are required to purohase smell wooden: shrines of Sbinto. Mrs. Gauld gare vivid. accounts of remarkable transformations fn char acter, outlook and efficiency brought about by the preaching and accept- ance of the Gospel. The last nine- teen months of her sojourn, in For- mnosa were spent with her daughter, Gretta, in a leper colony. Where such a loathsome disease is prevalent only love and charity will enable the missionary to be of service. I listen to the agony of God Hut know full well, That not until I slhare their bitter cry, Earth's pain and hell, Can God within my spirit dwell To bring His kingdom nigh.
