INVESTIGATION in Toronto snakes
blare the fact that a regular traffic is
being carried on in the sale of oocaine
to regular customet's who use it as ti
sedative with the same idea as John
Chinaman takes his opium or others
innoculate themselves with other
drugs. It is no compliment to the
people of that city and the business
should have the impress of the law
put upon it so solidly that the trans-
gressors would wake right ,tp.
Kelso Brussels to the front by do-
ing the right thing at the right. time.
Good impressions wear well and pen -

must be a giving out if a coming ]u is

TER YOUNG PEovLi4 s MISSIONARY
CoNFaaENCE,—Tile 4th Annual Cauadiau
Conference of the Young People's
Missionary Movement of the Dulled
States and Canada was held in the On-
tario Ladies' College, Whitby, from the
and to the loth of July and was a great
success, 240 being registered, One
cannot help receiving a t,piritnal uplift
and increased interest in all branches of
Mission work from such a Conference.
It would be impossible to speak of all
the interesting studies conducted, there-
fore I will only enumerate them briefly.
Each morning three (planers of au hour
WAS spent in Bible exposition. These
studies were extremely interesting and
also very instructive, many new
thoughts being suggested. 1; hours
were spent each morning on Mission
study. Five different text books were
used. "The servants of the King" by
Robert C. Speer ; "The Why and the
How of Missions," by lir. Swenler ;
"South America," by B1ele.p Neely and
"Korea" by Dr, Yale.'rhe classes
were conducted by capable study class
leaders having experience 011 tile field.
A short time each morning was spent iu
open Conferences on 'esthete work and
the remainder of the morning was spent
is messages Worn the home and foreign
mission fields. These addresses were of
great interest and very expressive of the
great needs. Surely they should m•ge
ns to greater missionary activity and in-
creased usefulness in the Master's ser-
vice, Cali we in the face of such a need.
"the lamp of life deny 7" The afters
noons were spent in recreation and were
very much enjoyed. "The Life Work"
conferences were held each evening
tender the trees, The object ot these
gatherings was to discuss holy best we
can invest our lives for 1110 glory of
God and the futherauce ot His King-
dom, Full surrender of ourselves to
0011 was particularly emphasised for
only in submission to Piing can we realize
the greatest results. Platform meetings
50108 held at 5 p,in. Series of lectutas
all the "Wor'ld Religioos," COnfueiacism
Bnddh'toiu, Hinduism, M••'lern Judaism
qnd Mohnnnnedaniree were discussed,
`be closing session ,vas impressive:
Seven young people who are going for
the first time to the foreign field in the
Fall, spoke a few words full of hopoful
Hess and trust. There were sixty value•+
tee's for the foreign field, twenty of
whom heal made their
t i t decisionduring
the Conference. One cannot over-esti-
mate the \mile of such a Conference acicl
it is very important that all who are able
slimed take advantage of such a wonder.
