was quite fhort snd very unsatisfactory,
and at last Hi found himself in strange

kindhearted river man. the captain of the
Royal Arch, had compassion on Hi, and
gave him an opportunity to work on beard

A CAPITAL MOVE.

Yesterday morning Rev. s. g. Crysr. Of
the Central Presby terrain church announce
to his congregation that for the next four
months be would devote considerable time
to missionary work among people outside
of his congregation; people who. perhaps,
have not identified themselves as yet with
any church society, but who would gladly
do so If urgently invited. We all know,
alss that as cold weather comes on there
are very many worthy people who desire
10 attend church and to send thsir little
ones to Sabbath school but not having the
means TO make themselves presentabIe are
forced to deny themselves the pleasures and
blessings attendant upon church going.
The ARGUS heartily commends this move
of Mr.. Cryer and believes that our other
city clergy will also be up and doing" in
the same direction, and in SO doing be
simply following in the footsteps efs star
