A special meeting of the Goderich District League was held in Clinton last sveek. The business discussed was the advisability of procuring a steam launch for their missionary, W. J.

All the members of the Executive were heartily in sym- pathy with the idea of procuring a steam launch for him, A resolution was passed to be sent to the general Board of Missions at Toronto, asking that one be provided for 1tr. Stone, and on condition of the -Board promis- ing to grant the request, the Goderich District, on its part, pledges itself to raise the full amount of Mr, Stone's salary.
