years Scott's junior, was, however, a

reached London, however, it read;

they read in the newspapers that

Their surprise, however, eat hard

WHEN a car wins success as quickly as this
new Oldsmobile, there is only one conclu-
sion—it must be. good!
And the facts confirm this judgment.
Its magnificent new bodies by Fisher reveal the
surpassing beauty and craftsmanship for which
Fisher is world-famous.
Its great 55 h.p. engine provides high -compres-
sion performance without special fuels.
Its silenced chassis embodies every principle of
fine -car design. Its complete equipment shows
exceptional concern with owner satisfaction.
Four Lovejoy hydraulic shock absorbers,ere,
easy-
acting
positive four-wheel brakes, radiator shut-
ters, bumpers front and rear, gasoline gauge and
temperature gauge on the dash—in fact every-
thing that contributes to comfort, convenience
and easy riding—are included in its low price.
So the evidence rolls up—until your own good
judgment tells you .
"I must see this Oldsmobile, I must drive it
myself. There's no denying, it must be good!"

Hymn for the Deal,
The hymn is a condensation of the
Dies Irae, one of the most famous of
mediavel hymns, written probably by
Thomas Celan, a friar of the 13th
century, the biographer and comrade
r f St. Francis of Assissi, which is best
known in English in Dr. Iron's trans-
lation, "Day of wrath, a day of mourn -
excellent a judge as the Right
Hon.. W. E. Gladstone, in his 1866
speech at Hawarden, said: "I know
nothing as sublime in any portion of
the sacred poetry of modern times, I
mean for the present century, as tae
"Hymn for the Dead," extending only
to twelve lines, which he,, embodied
in "The Lay of the Last Minstrel.":
Hymnal compilers seized upon the
hymn with avidity, partly because of
the desire to include the Dice Lae in
ed Church to consider the gpestion,
of uniting the two congregations.Three propositions were placed be-
fore the Wesley -Willis meeting, one
being to'rebuild the recently destroy-
ed Wesley -Willis Church themselves
at a cost of $30,000, another was to.
unite with the Ontario Street Church
and enlarge that building at 'a cost
of 817,500, and the third was to unite
with the Ontario Street Church and
erect a church on the Wesley -Willis
site large enough to accomodate the
two congregations` at an estimated
cost of 850,000.
The latter proposal met with the
almost unanimous approval of the
Wesley -Willis congregation, and was
accordingly submitted to the meeting
of the Ontario Street Church congre-
gation. As the latter meeting was
not sufficiently representative of 'the
congregation, no definite action was
taken, but the feeling of the meeting by sons of the late )3011.R. DobelL
was decidedly in , favor of accepting
the proposition for union, and a vote Sweden does ' not produce all the

try. For example, during a recent
year the wheat'harvest of Sweden
amounted to 300,000 metric tons and
the rye to 594,000, and during the
eame year Sweden imported 340,000
tons of Wheat and 130,000 tons of
rye. In 'this import trade Canada has
