MASON'S LETTER CALGARY Editor Advance. Referring again to this city, would say it contains a population of about 75,000 Which shows a considerable growth since the advent of C. P. R. about 40 years ago. At present in consequence of grain stairtage and drouth existing, along with strikes and 'unemployment there may be future distress, but on the surface now people are apparently happy, spending their money and having a good time, Which seems to be characterestic of the West. There is nothing small about the Calgarian's but their feet and spiritual un. derstandiegs. In the first place they wanted to make the city a second New York, the corporation extending about six miles in every direction from centre, so that a fellow can mOtor for miles on' the armee and still be in the city limits. I noticed a hycliaet away out where no- body lives, side walks, curbe and other improvements likewise, many poor dupes in Wingbarn and elsewhere were invited by Western Sharks to divorce themselves from their hard earned "Rocks" they are still there and liable to be till Kingdom come. A man here bought a lot 25 feet wide on 15th Ave. for $2600, which he offers now at 600. The Congregational church property about the size of a Wingham lot was bought for the mere sum of $10,000. I would'nt mind giving about a $1000. So it goes on, vast sums made and lost in this city which is only typical of all other places in this great country.. - What ever short comings the people in the West may have they are "long" in the matter of education, wherever you go splendid. school houses are in evidence and education seems to be about the first consideration. In this city there are fine buildings of cut stone which would do credit to any city of the world The province is about erecting a new Normal school and the present- one will be turned over to the city for a public school, if the spiritual kept pace with knowledge this city would be ideal.

That he has not lost any of his former high standards for teaching is evi- dent by the fact that he orgauized an entranze class of.Ave pupils of which all successfully passed their examinations. The names of the successful pupils are Elizabeth Bean, Marjorie Wallace, Gor- don Tophatu, James &ears and Earl Denny, honors.

' Preparatory -1st Clegg honors -Grace Phipps; Pass -Madeline McDonald, It is slippery, ground to tread upon to say anything mitside of the material, people get "awfully huffy" if you happen to sit on their particular institation but I tell you there are a good many poor in,- nocent souls humbugged in the name of Religion. This city has been cursed by higher criticiain, modern thotight, and such like by oink:rent men in the different denominations id -ethe past; fortunately not many here to-cilarthere is one young preacher of :4 •yery prominent sect who does not believe in Christ as the son of God, and yet the innocent people are pouring out good money to pay that fel- low a salary, who, positively is getting same under false pretences, and should be fired, Christian Science which is neither Christian or; Sci4ce holds forth here. Barnum stated people like to be humbug- ged and they do, paying a good price for it to. For a city of this size the churches do not compare with the schools by any means, although there are a few of special mention. Grace Presbyterian being the largest, built of cut stone, holding about 1500, costing about 150,000 with a debt of only 85,000, This church started of course in a small way and wanting a pas- tor, Rev. Ester then • in Toronto was in- vited to come at a smaller salary. The Lord sometimes calling such, hi came, built up a thoosand membership, a 700 Sunday School and altogether a prosper- ous concern, his health giving way had an offer to go to Vancouver, again at smaller salary. So church is looking around for another. The session have formulated a list of "Beliefs" according to scripture, for the applicant to comply with, the last re. quirernent is a position understanding and teaching on the second advent of Chria. One man "preaching for a call" did not believe this, so he will have to look for a job elsewhere, this church has had a large accession -from all other deno- minations on account of the whole bible teaching of Mr. Esler Methodists, Baptists and others becoming members, showing there's nothing to beat the all wool and yd. wide Religion. This mai in question ia a "ripper" to use a slang expression, chips certainly fly when he is around, is an in- tense Orangeman, got into a pock of trouble with the Catholics, told the people not to send their children to their schools and other things they got after him with a club, but he didn't come out second best anyway.
