They are all different; and yet, if

their platforms are the same halt-
ing, laboured c'ltnversations, during

the same tears, the same people who
come an hour too soon and the same
people who leap through the doors as
the whistle blows.
The Gateways of London? They
are the gateways of the world. On
the other side of them are Bombay
and Brighton. and Buenos Aires and
Bexhill, the South Seas and the Sub-
urbs. Through them pass the people
who hold slips of paper or bits of
cardboard that will take theta to
Tokio or Twickenham, to Persia er
Purley. Out of them., into the
streets of the town come travellers
from Sydenham and Samarkand.
Down from the ten thousand trains
that daily snort and hiss and grumble
their way to the long platforms step
people who hardly bother to glance at
the smoke -blackened roofs and the
poster -decked walls of the stations,
and people to whom those vast halls
are the ante -chambers of the un-
known city, noisy and bewildering,
and rather terrifying.
There, if anywhere, is the pulse of
London.
There, where the whistles waft a
million travellers to places some-
where along the iron roads, is the
long drama of a humanity that is
never at rest . • •

Deer Chase: A correspondent to
the Expositor gives this version of
the deer chase and shooting mention'
ed in last week's News-Record.—On
Thursday morning of last week Mr.
Shipley of the Huron road near Clin-
ton noticed a strange animal with
his cows and soon discovered it was
a deer. He at once called his broth=
er and started in chase, but as it teat

Somehow, for me, that never-end-
ing pilgrimage is all summed up in
one tiny happening that lingers quite
isolated and complete in my memory:
It has a sharper point, a deeper
meaning, than the big, obvious spec-
taclos of the great stations—than
the medley of tongues on the boat
trains, or the awkward, long-drawn-
out farewells by the carriage doors,
or the people leaning back in the
waiting rooms, ignoring one another
with a sort cf suspicious defiance.
It had nothing to do with any of
those. It was junk a little scene in
the Inquiry Office at Waterloo.

From•The New Era, Nov. 25th, 1892:
A number of the young people of
the Rattenbury street Methodist
church have set to work in earnest to 1 DOINGS
procure a pipe organ. The following
committee has been appointed td
look after the matter: H. Foster, R.
Holmes, I. Taylor, H. B. Chant, W.
N. Manning, F. R. Hodgens and A.
T. Cooper. One of the stipulations
is that the committee is not to de-
finitely proceed with the matter un-
less .a subscription list to the extent
of $1000 is secured. The list already
well sung by Master Fred Gilroy.
Then followed a very suitable and
masterly address on. Burne by Dr,
Campbell of Seaforth. Refresh-
ments, consisting of oatmeal cakes,
cookies, seed cakes, scones, butter-
milk, ginger -bread, porridge, haggis,
was served and disposed of in a very
short time. The haggis itself de-
served a grace " as lang's yer airm."
, The proceeds of the social were
$$30.00.
Daily the ten thousand trains take
the million travellers in and out of
the Gateways of London. The en-
gines thread their way through the
bottleneck that clamps the path to
Liverpool 'Street. and steam over the
Thames from Victoria with a billow-
ing of grey and white smoke, and
rumble through the dark tunnel to
Pt. Pancras an sweep disdainfully
through the suburbs to Paddington:
the feet of the million move in an
anxious quickstep along the plat-
forms. The travellers peas in and
rut, and their destiny remains un-
known: only now and then do they
linger, frightened by the bulk and
mystery of the town cutside, and the
'nen of the stations learn their stor-
ies. s
At Paddington tiler still remember
the twn dear old Indies who iournev-
rd all th- way front liri;tcl to make
their wills. They tock a peep from
+he threshold and then chew bark.
They would not venture into the im-
mense chaos of London. It was tee
big, too frightening. They went to
the stationmaster's office, and asked
him to telephone for their Solicitor.
And they made their wills in that
effie°. with two railway clerks as
witnesses.
Thc'v caught the next train back
to Bristol.
They did not want to ace any
more of London.

The inquiry man telephoned to the

The woman listened to all this, still
puzzled.

day and catch a train to India," she
said.
Somehow, to me, that story has the
heart of the stations in it. It has
that sense of bewilderment that clos-

they pass the great arched gates,
and that glimpse of far' countries,
and the feeling that the barriers are

Promptness Averts Bridge Tragedy
The famous story of the Dutch boy
who prevented a disastrous flood by
plugging a hole in a dyke with his
finger is recalled lily the action of
a Boy Scout, John KirscheI, of Sou-
thern Rhodesia. While fishing from
a bridge over the Gwebi River the
lad discovered a widening crack in a
concrete. pier. He immediately ran
and reported, and the bridge was
closed, averting probable tragedy.
The Scout was highly commended by
the Government Road Department.

Two Boy Scouts are among the
English boys selected to go to Min,
