I met one old man who had once filled a good position in an Eastern railway office, and who might have risen high but for drink. Leaving wife and home and family, he drifted westward and worked for a while at a sawmill. He saved his money and prepared to return home. He got no further than Winni- peg, for his love of liquor mastered him, and all was spent or lost there. He turned back again with the same long- ing for home in his heart, but with less hope of ever seeing it. " But." you ask, " is there not some- thing besides failure ?" There certainly is. Let me give an example : At one point where I visit there is a family who if they wish to attend church services must go either to Creston or Moyle. They loyally support the mission finan- cially. The husband and wife are study- ing the Teachers' Training Course, and their boy has earned the Assembly's Certificate for memory verses. The wife and mother comes by rail once a month 35 miles to attend church at Moyie. There is a family at another lonely point with whom I leave S. S. papers, where two of the children are studying the S. S. lessons. One of onr Managers lives at the mine i miles from Moyie. Neither storm nor rain nor darkness keeps him from the service. We know that he will be there to encourage us with his presence, to help with his means, and with prayer and words of cheer help on our work. Regular weekly services are held at Ryan, Creston and Moyie. Ocoasional visits are made to families in lonely places between and to the mines.

Since opening it has been running night and day, and farmers come all the way ESTABLISHED 1872 FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA. The following from the pen of the Rev. O. MoDiarmtd, the missionary sup- ported by the young people of the Pres- bytery of Maitland, will be read with in- terest by many, tor it gives a good in- sight into pioneer life in the far west of onr great land. To the Y.P.S. of Maitland Presbytery: - Dear e'riends,-There are, I suppose, quite a number of you who have never seen a mine and who have little idea of the kind of lite a miner lives. Let me try to describe it as it exists here. The St. Engem Mining Co. are oper- ating on the hill on the east side of the Moyle Lake, and have tunnels at the level of the lake and others higher up on the face of the hill. For purposes of convenience in operating they speak of the mine under three names, viz. "The Lake Shore," the part near the level of the lake Hall way up the hill it is called "The Moyie,", while higher up still it is called the "St. Eugene." The ore from the Upper Moyie comes down on a tramway to the Lower Moyie and falls down a chute to the level of the Lake Shore end from there along with the ore of the Lake Shore is drawn in cars to the concentrator where it is pre- pared for the smelter. The ore from the St. Eugene is taken in buckets by wire cable direct to the concentrator. The workers of the concentrator and the miners at the Lake Shore and Lower Movie live in the village, bat the miners at the Upper Moyie and the St. Eugene live at the St. Eugene boarding house, the property of the mining company. Would you like to visit theSt.Eugene? Then you meat climb up the mountain side a mile and a half to a height 1600 feet above the lake, Here we find a small group of buildings -office, store- house, boarding house,where the miners have their meals, and a large building called a bunkhouse where the miners sleep The bunkhouse has two rooms, an upper and a lower one and has beds or rather battles for 90 men. Imagine yourself one of the 90. You are shown a wooden box with hay or straw in it and you are told this is your bunk. You must provide your own blankets but don't get them too white, because they will not stay long that way unless you know some secret that the others do not seam to possess. Half the men work on day shift from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and half at night from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. so ,that a new comer is sure to be disturbed in sleeping hours. The noises, the conversations, the blasphemy is not what one has been ac- customed to and you ask can one long retain the refreshment of nature and purity of heart that they have brought from a chrletian home? Over there is a man who could if he wished be practis- ing law in an Ontario city, but this wild, free life had greater attractions for him. Another, --alas, many, had good post• tions but they fell through strong drink. Many are drawn from good homes by the big wages offered while many have never known anything different from this kind of life. This life goes on seven days in the week, for the miner has no Sunday. Need one wonder that they forget much that Is good or that they are tempted in a wild,mad hour to forget and seek to blot out all the past.

There are some signs of improvements in the choice of books and of subsidence of the rage for novels, which, the pub- lishers tell ns, has of late almost killed the market for anything else except text - hooks, and perhaps, remarkably live books of travel. Poetry has been sleep- ing what almost seemed the sleep of death. Popular works on nature appear now to be selling, and guides to serious reading are in request.

CHI (PRONOUNCED SI -KEEN) "PSYCHINE" possesses peculiar properties that act promptly in gaining the mastery over this disease. One element at once checks the fever, another the chills. The tightness across the chest, the heavy breathing and hoarseness, is removed by another element. Its tonic properties renew .the strength, and make rich blood, the cough disappears, 'the. "mucous" is carried away, the wheezing ceases, and after a short treat- ment ninety per cent. of patients are cured for all time.
