There are over | 900 Young Mems Chris
tian Associations in this country and about
as many more ON the other side OF the At
lantlc. The multitude of Christian young
men thus associated unite in setting apart
the week beginning with tho second Sunday
in November (lI-l7 Now as season OF
| special prayer for the tar greater multitude
of unconyertei young men, and for chris
tian work on their behalf In this observ
ance they ask the cooperation OF all Chris
tian people on bOtn sides of the sea. The
workers in these organizations labor as the
messengers of Christ and His church. In a
vast multitude of homes the twice repeated
question of David, is the young man
safe ?" has never yet received joyful an
swer. lt touches the sorest anxiety felt IN
those homes. These bands of Christian
Young men. therefore. who are seeking to
relieve lust such anXieties appeal strongly
to cur sympathies. They are making de-
cided progress The associations OF this
continent are banded together as State and
Provincial conventions in twenty-four dill
terent groups, eleven OF which employ
secretary-vistor to correspond with and
make them mutually helpful to one an
other Forty eight societies own buildings
worth over two millions Of dollars. One
hundred and five employ secretaries devoted
wholly to the work. Ten years ago there
was hardly single association building.

these elements of strength the societies
have been growing rapidly. But the
field before them yet untouched is immense.
Among the 800 900 employees along the So
600 miles of American railroads, the Inter
national Committee are sending their VS.
itors. A lew vigorous organizations OF
Christian railroad men have been formed.
The influence eyerted by these during the
recent strikes was in every instance helpful
to the friends of peace and order. AT more
than one point serious disaster was averteG
by their wholesome restraint. Though this
work is still in its infancy, a beginning full
of promise has been made. At the South,
few years ago, hardly dozen associations
existed now over one hundred report their
work Organizations have also been effected
among the 81, 900 young men in our col
leges and schools, and for the first time the
International Committee have secured
secretary for this branch of the work. The
number and yigOr OF these associations
make it evident that Christian young men
are becoming more active than ever before
in efforts to benefit those of their own age.
These seasons of united prayer on behalf OF
their work have in each year been signaliZed
by many REVEALS in which numbers OF
young men have been sd led to the churches.
The present year there Is promise OF an OBJ
seryance by associations and churches more
general than ever before hriSidn UniOn.

Col. A B. Foster, whose sudden death,
at Montreal. has so shocked his numerous
friends. was born il Dummerston, near
Brattleboro, W.. in 1917, but removed with
his father, the late DR.. Stephen Sewell

Waterloo, p O., when he was four years
old. lie was educated in Canada, until he

celebrated railroad contractor, with whom
he was extensively engaged in constructing
railroads in Massachusetts, Maine, and Yer
mont After successful career Of fifteen
years he returned from the United States to
Canada, and launched into railway enter
prises of magnitude. His first contract was
on the Grand Trunk from Richmond to
Quebec. This was followed by the Stan
stead, ShetfOrd and Chambly Connecting ST.
Johns with Waterloo. He next built the
Southeastern. from West farnham to New
port, and ma 1e the extension of the Canada
Central from Sand Point to Pembroke. He
also received the contract from the Canada
Central from Nipissng. lie was elected in
1858 member for Shefurd in the Canada
Assembly. After two years service he re-
signed and was returned by reclamation to
the Legislative Council for the district of
Bedford On the accomplishment of the
confederation he was appointed to the Sen
ate of the Dominion, from which he retired
two years ago on receiving contract for
the construction OF the Georgian Bay Branch

actively engaged in making arrangements
to complete his contract. Financial troubles

heart disease. which is hereditary in his
family Last June. in Saratoga. he suffered
severely, and after his Incarceration. two
weeks ago. In lrasburg jail, he bad another
attack. His physicians prescribed rest TOR
him, and cOunselled him to beware OF excite

no doubt, FASTENED his death. Mr.. Foster
had mania for building roads, and he not
only invested all his own money in them,
but induced his friends likewise to embark
in such speculations. The result of his
almost herculean labors has been to serve
the Dominion rather than to bring any sub
stantial reward to his own family. His re-
mains were removed TO Waterloo. on Thurs
day, for interment.

MONTREAL sdvices say that the earth
quake OF Sunday morning began with Only
slight vibration, but increased until
buildings shook with an intensity that
caused inside doors which were well fasten-
ed to fly open. Glass and chinsware on
shelves were thrown down and machinery
was set in motion. The people in St. Law
renee Hall and the Ottawa Hotel thought
the walls and roof were coming down. and
the ladies were panic stricken. 10 the
northern parts OF the city, close to the
mountain, the shock was more severe than
in the lower parts. 10 the poorer localities,
especially among the French Canadian pop
ulstion OF the east end. the CONSERVATION
and terror were very great. Many rushed
out in their night clothes, thinking the
houses were tumbling about their ears. The
fears of these superstitious people were in
tensi6ed by their recollection o! tradition
that exists there that a celebrated monk
who lived in the seventeenth century,
prophesied that the Island of Montreal
would he swallowed up in an earthquake in
the nineteenth century. The decidedly i'm
probable statement is added that the earth
quake left the air strongly impregnsted
with electricity and sulphurous vapor.

IT has been stated that the recent decision
OF the Supreme Court establishes priority
of the lien of the Vermont and Canada.
That, however, is not clear. The question
Of priority of liens was not properly before
the court and could not be passed upon.
The DEGREES and orders authorizing the
various loans made by the Receivers are
cited together with the fact that they
were consented to by all parties
and the results duly participated in.
1t is then laid down as the law
that while "consent DEGREES remain
unexecuted they may be modified BY
the parties or by the court. but alter
they are executed they have all the binding
force of final decree of the court. Finally,
it is declared that if trust debts are lien
upon the trust property so far as TO bind
the real estate and franchises. it cannot be
enforced by peremptory sale in the form
asked for in the petition. and if proper pro-
ceedings should be brought Cor the purpose.
sale could only be made with the right of
redemption u the part Of the companies
owning the property. As the petition did
not take coguizance of this condition it
could not be granted.

EARTHQuAKE. - On Sunday morning,
shortly after two O'Clock, was experienced
the severest shock OF earthquake for many
years, if ever. felt in this city. Houses were
shaken, bells rung, etc but fortunately
there Is no damage to report. The shock
lasted for about twelve seconds. In Mon
treal, at very nearly the same time. fwc
shocks were felt. and the earthquake ex-
tended for sixty miles west and thirty east
At ST. Johns and st Adams 1t was also no
ticed, as also at Albany and other points
along the Hudson river. At Rutland nc
shock was ielt. while there was one at Fair
haven and there was none in New York
city. This would seem to show that the
earthquake, a. in the case Of Il similar Oc
eurrencs some seven years since (Which
however. was less severe here than thls)
travelled from northeast to southwest; anC
that its path was comparatively limited IL
