The call orignated through the Christians at Pekin bolding a day of prayer among themselves for the government. They suggested to the Cabinet that a day of special prayer be set apart by the government. Although there were not many Christ- ians in the cabinet they approved of the suggestion and issued lin appeal to the Christian countries to 'set apart a day for special prayer, The Chinese government are convinced that the temporal prosperity of \christian countries is due to their- faith in God The speaker impressed upon the meet- e •,.Success in the spirit th, L the secret of of God and he has promised to do the work in answer to intelligent prayer. • Behe church should pray requested.that pray earnestly.that power be given the workers. �» In the afternoon a •very helpful and inspiring bible reading Was given by ( Mrs, W; D.

It is to be hoped a better condition will pre- vail but it will largely hinge on the ability of large employing concerns to keep running with full force. Rumor has it that a Redistribu- tion bill will be brought down at next session of Dominion Parlia- ment but on so biassed, a pat- tern that it will, not be acceptable to the Opposition or Senate, with the prospect of jolting the sub- dividing Off perhaps untiL ,after next election.
