 Missionary Services at St Panl's.
 Public missionary services are to be held in St. Paul's church on Friday Of this week at o'clock and 7:30 p. m. Addresses are to be made at these services by Archdeacon Kirkby, who, after long service in Northern British America, has been induced to speak to Christian congregations in the United States of his work. His addresses have ex- cited great interest in other cities, and it is believed that those who go to hear him on Friday will be amply repaid. His life and work have been thus described: 'More than twenty-seven years ago he offered him. self as missionary to the English Church Missionary society for service in what was then known as Rupert's Land During this period he has passed, on foot or in canoe, over 8 very large part of the immense terri tory bounded by the Arctic Sea. He has visited the tribes dwelling near Hudson's Bay and along the Mackenzie river, four times crossing the Rocky Mountains on foot and ministering to the tribes in Alaska, near Fort Yukon. First of all clergymen he went within the Arctic circle and made known the Gospel to the heathen dwelling in that strange land of frost and darkness. No less than four great dioceses are now established in that portion of British America referred to, under the heroic bishops of Rupert's Land, Moosonee, Athabasca and Saskatche- wan. Sixty missionaries are employed in ministering to many hundreds of communi- eants and their families, and in carrying the Gospel to those still heathen. Archdeacon Kirkby has most interesting story to tell of missionary life, and his coming to the city ought to be heartily welcomed.
