quired by by..law. Now Mr.. Bobier, a

possible for Mr. Finlayson to form any
idea who the daring visitors were, but
seem to have adopted "Pare's plan'' to
effeot an entrance and turned the

of consideration for the man they were
robbing, they locked the door when
leaving, presumably to prevent any
other person getting a part of the

• Christtas Pastoral.
Bishop Baldwin has addressed the
following pastoral to the laity of his
diocese :•-"At no time fn the past his-
tory of the diooese has there ever arisen
an occasion which so loudly demanded
the earnest loyalty and substantial e'ytte
pathy of the laity as the present mo-
ment. You are aware how many of
your clergy, for whom I know you en-
tertain the most profound respect, have
suffered severely throilgbout the past
year by the Ierions diminution of .their
at-all.timee scanty incomes. It is
needless for me to say th, t thia reduc-
tion, which has been owing to the de-
pressed condition of the Miseton Fund,
must have sorely . distressed notonly
the clergy themselves but also their
wivee apd families. And, now, when
soon the merry bells from our belfry
towers will be ringing out the advent of
another Christmastide, and when God'e'
goodness in the late abundant harvoet
has planed vast resources in your hind,
may I not ask your kindly asalstanoo
and sympathetic remefnbrance of those
noble and devoted men ' who- Ito fltith•
fully labor among you, and' moderator,
every effort, to lead you onward in
the heavenly way.
