from one country to another, gives him
an advantage in another direction, of
which he has not been slow to avail
himself officers who may have become
irksome in one country must be removed
to another. Matters in reference to their
colleagues or SuperiorS may have come
under their observation so as to disturb
them, or about which 1t Is expedient

so they are removed Sometimes these

we have seen such people deserted in
strange land. We have within our per-
sonal knowledge an officer sent from
Holland to Canada under such circum-
stances, a man of education and ability,
but who on his arrival in the dominion

sition in a printing office at boys wages
or starvation.

and he. too. has Just had a trip around
the world. possibly to select a future
position. The eldest daughter has held
full sway over France and Switzerland
since the opening of the work there. The
second daughter, after some years in
charge of the training home for girls,

family. almost before they have reached
discretional years. has been placed in a
position of great authority where they
