A'special from Toluca, Mexico. to a Chi
cago newspaper says: One of the largest
mining deals ever made in Mexico has Just
been completed here by the sale of a group
of four exceedingly rich and productive
gold mines, located in the Zacualpan dis.

to London syndicate for 100000 in gold.
The properties We're originally examined

gineer, who spent several weeks in the dis
trict about two months ago.
THE syndicate secured an option on the
property for s4.0o0,G0 upon his recom-

six other mining engineers were sent to
Zacualpan to examine them thoroughly
and report on the mines. Each of their
reports agreed with that of Mr.. Hammond,

I'VE ought TO have new confession of
faith. 1t Is surprising that the Presby-

IS doing with such an incubus strapped
upon US as we are tOttering under in our

thing needed is not a system of theology
for that is what our present confession is
but a simple, brief, Saxon statement of
half a dozen or SO of the vital features Of
Jesus Christ's message to the world.

Containing but the little that Jesus said
when He was trying to make Christian of
Nlcpdemus: God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son, that who-
soever believeth in Him should not perish,
but have eternal life
THAT gives to US the doctrine of Cod 5
unlimited love, human guilt, the divinity
OF Christ. salvation through Christ, faith
IN Christ, Immortality; every word Saxon
three-quarters of the words monosyllables

And then, once more. II there were
among us the distinct feeling which the
Gospel so wonderfully guarantees, that

love Of God, We should be intolerant to-
