(By Lonis Larive.) St. Louis Jan.28.—H. R. Charlton advertising 28 Agent for the Grand Trunk System of Canada, has just completed arrangements for an allot- ment in the Forestry, Fish and Game Building. The Grand Trunk Company will have a very extensive display at the World's Fair and intends to show the game and fishery products of the famone resorts crossed by the pioneer Canadian line. Mr. Charlton has just given out the contract for the construction of the Grand Trunk's booth which will be most elaborate ; he will return to St. Louis in ten days to supervise the work of decoration and preliminary installation. Among the sceneries which the Grand Trunk will reproduce in the Forestry Fish and Game building are the following : Panorama of the city of Quebec, the Gibraltar of America ; views and specimens of ,same and fish of , the White Mountains, N. H.; the Grand Trunk Victoria Jubilee Bridge, of Montreal ; the shooting of the Lachine Rapids ; view of Kingston, Toronto and Niagara Falls where the Grand Trunk has now constructed a continu- ous double track extending as far east as Quebec and Portland. The Highlands of Ontario will also be reproduced by specimens which will prove, indeed, the sportmen's paradise. Muskoka Lakes, undoubtedly one of the moat beautiful regions in America, with their red deer, wild duck', part- ridges and hares, will have a most ambitious representation here during the World's Fair. Thousands of Am- -erican tourists have visited the Mus- koka Lakes of Ontario during the past season, hen'e the pretentious scale which is to be given them ill the Grand Trunk's representative exhibit. Mr, Charlton is authority for the statement that the exhibit of the Grand Trunk at the Universal Exposi- tion of 1904 will be second to none, and far beyond anything presented at previous expositions, 1 NOTICE,—The question is how can 1 Robt.

While your timetable of duties as Pastor of two congrega- tion., has itself been a orowded one, you have ever been in readiness at each call of duty, many times when your rest and comfort had to bo sacrificed. Yet in view of long and tedi- ous hours of study and labor and trying times of action, which a pastor of two country charges must meet, when the Bible class need- ed a teacher and the call camp to fill the posi- tion, you willingly and cheerfully consented to respond. Throughout, your services in that capacity has been most efficient and we hopeproductive in quickening the trend of young minds to- wards long and happy lives of usefulness. Not only do we derive much instruction and good from the lessons of each Sunday which your comprehensive mind and methods sim- plify and develop so wet' in Bible class, but in youraelf and your work we have live examples which we feel to copy is to do well. Your activity, your perseverance, your originality. your sound judgment, your sociability and your kind sympathy make you to us a true pastor, an able teacher and a friend in time of need. In your congregation, when sorrow or trial domes to a home you never fail to be present, and with acts of kindness you prove tho sincerity of your words. In the Sunday school, your ever ready hand to help has leen a strong factor in its success. We appreciate your kindness and the keen interest you display in our temporal and spiritual welfare, and we wish now to ask you to accept this purse as a small token of our gratitude to you for your cheerful and value bio assistance. In our well wishes we include ' Mrs. Dunn, who equally with you shares our esteem, and we each join in wishing you long and happy lives, blessed with rich rewards in Heaven at last for your faithful work in your noble callings. Signed on behalf of the Bible plass and teachers of the Sunday school, Peter Moffat, Will. Reid. Langside, Jan. 28th, 1904.
