DE.11211 01' ABRAHAM SHETTLER.—
:Very genaral and deep regret is ex-
pressed at the death of Mr. Abraham
Shettler, who passed to his reward on
Sunday evening. For some time the
deceased has been, in delicate health,
but was always hopeful and after many
a season of indisposition wasout again
as smiling and ambitions as ever.
This time the gravity of his sitnabion
was unmistakable and the curtain was
rung down on his useful and kindly
life. Mr.Shettler'will be much missed
in our burgats he was known and re-
spected by all. He has been a,life-long
and valued member of the Evangelical
church and also a member of the Y.P.
A. since its organization. The funeral
took place yesterday (Wednesday) to
the Goshen line temetery, and was
largely attended. The casket bore a
beautiful floral wreath from the Y.P.
A. Society as a last token of respect to
his departed memory. The bereaved
parents have the deepest sympathy in
this their sad trial of affliction.

St, Marys, Oct. 17. -The Geller
Board of Missions of the Methodis
church has concluded its annual mee
ing, at which a good deal of importan
business was transacted. About a wee
was occupied with the deliberation
at which Rev: Dr. Carman, Genera
Superintendent, presided. Rev. Di
Ryckman, of Cornwall, Rev. W. 14
Barraclough, of Victoria B.C., an
Mr. Abram Shaw, of Kingston, wer
chosen Secretaries.
The financial statement of the opera
tions of, the Missionary Society durin
the year ending June 30 was presented
It showed receipts of $270.322 and dis
bursements of $282,103. The ordinar
subscriptions ansi collections amount
ed to $171,647.50, being an increase o
$4,183.19; juvenile offerings, $23.434.67,
an increase of $1,214.90, ancl Epworth
Leagues, $21,172.78, an increase of $2,
859.21, being a total from the thre
main sources of the society's revenue
of $216,25195, and an increase of $8,
257.30 over the previous year. The re
ceipts from legacies fell off from $20,
731,16 to $3,958.88, while the grants
from the Government towards the In
dian institute and day schools advanc
ed $2,438.88 and the miscellaneous re-
ceipts $899.34.
Regarding the expenditures, while
deficiencies in salary were the rule, es-
pecially in the home work, the periodi-
cal remittances were a source of cheer,
a,nd they contributed towards aggres-
sive work and successful endeavor.
The sum of $91,130 was devoted to do-
mestic missions, $95,167 to Indian anis-
sions and institutes, and about: $45,000
to French, Chinese and Japanese 'mis-
sions. The board went carefully into
She discussion of the estimated expen-
diture and the aaimsrfor money grants
for the year 1901-2, and this occupied
the greater part of the time of each
session The grants to domestic mis-
sions in Canada, Newfoundland and
Bermuda were considered at great
length by a cotirtnittee named for that
purpose. Their report was confirmed
by the General Board, and made a
grat
it of $89,277 for that work. This
will give missionaries 78 per cent. of
theig salaries, as compared with 76 per
cent. last year. '
The following grants were made to
the other departments: -Japan, $20,-
825; West China, $11,345; Indian work,
$94.701; Chinese and Japanese in Brit-

Perhaps it's diphtheria, or
scarlet fever. Keep your
own home free from the
germs of these diseases.
Prevent your children frotn
having them. You can do
it with our Vapo-Cresolene. Put
some Cresolene in our vaporizer,
light the lamp beneath, and' let the
vapor fill the sleeping room. Have
the children sleep in the room every
night, for it's perfectly safe, yet not
a single disease germ can live in this
vapor. Ask your doctor about it. 4
