twenty gathered at our Bethlehem

have His sanctuary the best, made
them send for the wreathing for the
chancel and they were disappointed
and SO obliged to use somewhat faded
ones. The whole nave, however, i d

Gold has been found on all the bars OF

the day we arrived here.
suppose you expect me to give
some description of our trip from
Lake Bennett | will tell you all that
happened; the narrow escapes. the
sudden changes in the treacherous
lakes. our rapid sailing. our slow
rowing. etc, would take day. But
| will attempt it in brief to give you
some idea of the trip which was made
pleasant by the beautiful scenery and
the excitement caused by dangers of
the trip.
We started out by firing three pistol
shots on a very quiet sea and had to
row steadily all day, not even being
able to try our sail. The scenery on
the whole lake is a chain of high
mountains on either side with the
lake bordered with heavy growth of
tall pines and spruce.
We camped in beautiful place
after making about miles. We
started early next morning on quiet
sea again having to row until about II
a. M, when south wind came up
and we hoisted sail and found ii to
work to perfection. At first our mo-
ton was almost imperceptible but
gradually the wind became stronger
and st onger until we seemed to he al
most flying. The lake became rough
er and at 2 M. we had to land as the
waves We're so large and began com
ing over our boat. We E.d hard
work to land and unload before get
ting dueking. We pitched camp
aud told ghost stories all afternoon,
and that night brought us our first
snow. We woke in the morning with
one fe OF OF snow on the tent. The
sea was calm again and we started
early pulling the oars again. This l
will always remember as one of the
most disastrous in the history of the
lake. The morning was SO still that
it seemed we could hear and under
stand all that was said on the lake.
Ten or twelve boats were in sight and
all their occupants were jolly at know
ing that they were really started to
the gold fields.
