the League was "Ounaberers of the

who treated it by the reference meth-
od. Then fcllowed a practical essay on 1
the same subject byMiss Mina Turn-
bull. The proposed union League' ese.
cursion to Brantford on August thh.
was discussed and the League voted RA
pleasure and satisfaction with all
plans. Plans were also formed for a

of the leading thoughts elivited vvere ;
This book occupies the position of a
btulge between the Old alba New Testa-
tnent.'containing numerous quotations
from OM Testament. The events nat.
rated'are artang,ed in more accurate
chronological order, perhaps, than in
the other Gospels. ' It is a complete
book. Not one truthur doctrine in the
whole spiritu)I system is forgotten,
, Pauli himself has amplified and empha-
sized the ttuths contained here, but
has added nothing new.
