The Primitive Methodist conference
at Halle ton, decided that no ministers
of their denomination should marry Q
divoroed person. For many years IL
has been the policy to refuse to marry
divorced persons unless their divorces
were obtained for reasons sanctioned
by the scriptures. 1t was found that
advantage was taken to this exception
and that considerable latitude was al
lowell. Consequently the conferen ,e
refused permission to its ministers to
marry any person who has boen d.
vorued for any reason whatever.

hart township. was introduced to the
Secretary to the Commissioners of Pub
lio Grounds and Buildings and he full
ly explained the status of affairs relat
ing to the bridge approach on South
side. He would not venture a predic-
tion as to when the approach there
might be completed. For his part. he
said, he would not become a party to
the construction of anything like a
death trap" and he sees only one way
of making the bridge fit for traffic and
that is to finish up the approach with
high retaining walls as designed.
The official expressed doubt as to
whether the bridge would be thrown
open to traffic with the approach in it's
present bad shape, even though the
bridge proper might be found to con-
form wholly to plans and specifications
and be pronounced drst class job; it
WAS a question whether the bridge as
a whole might not be regarded as en-
braoing the approaches. which as is
we'll known could not be regarded as
completed.
Following the meeting in the Court
House it was learned that the inspect
ors will make their report today, which
will be returned to the Dauphin Coun-
ty Court. The approaches, it was said,
were taken fully into consideration at
the session in the Court House and the
conclusion was reached that the in
spection had to do only with the
bridge proper and that the matter Of ap
proaohes will not influence the report.
In that event il the report be favor
able the bridge may be taken off the
contractors hands and forthwith turn
ed over to the two counties, who them
selves will be left to wrestle with the
problem Of approach.

minor MATTERS
on INTEREST

The Schuster building, Mill street,
which has been altered considerably to
conform with the change of grade is
rapidly approaching completion. The
modern plate glass fronts add very
much to the appearance of the build
ing, while the lowering of the floors
gives the rooms on the first story a
greater height, which will be an ad-
vantage. A few finishing touches in
the way of paper and paint remain to
be put on the building when it will be
ready for occupancy. ], W. Phillips
will e-occupy the side next to the
canal with his grocery and dry goods
store. A. G. Harris will remove his
stationery store back into the upper
side of the building.
The scaffolding has been erected
along the south side of Murray Bros.
large brick building, preparatory to
giving that portion coat of paint to
correspond with the front, which was
finished up last week. Among other
improvements some changes are being
made in the brick work about the
chimneys. Handsome awnings have
been placed in front o. the building
by A. E. Hostelley.

A Great Sailor.

But he has outsailed the Labrador
skippers-outdared therl-doue deeds of
courage under their very eyes that they
would shiver to contemplate-neyer in

heart and willing hand of every honest
man on the Labrador-and If none more
than OF the men of his crew, who take
the chances with him; they are wholly
devoted.
Dr. GrcDfcIs patients are of three
classes. There is first the ''liveyere''-
the inhabitant of the Labrador coast
the most ignorant and wretched of them
all. There is the Newfoundland out

unon his hook and line for subsistence
There is the Labradorman-the New
foundIard fisherman OF the better class,
who fishes the Labrador coast in the
summer season and returns to his home

Those who dwell on the coast are
called ''liveyeres' because they say

the question.

Through Snow and Ice.

Summer journeys are hard enough,
God knows, But winter travel is .
matter of much greater difficulty and
hardship. Not that the difficulty and
hardship seem ever to be perceived by
the mission doctor; quite the contrary;
there is if anything greater delight to
be found in a wild, swift race over rot

the driving snow. than IN running the
Strathcona through nor east gale.
The Indian Harbor Hospital is closed in
the fall; so intense is the cold, SO ex-
posed the situation, so scarce the wood,
so few the Hveyeres, that it has been
found Improbable to keep it open.
Thus and all the time, in storm and
sunshine summer and winter weather,
Grenfell of the Deep-sea Mission goea
about doing good; if it's not in d boat.
it's in dog sled. He is what he likes to
call "a Christian man. But he is also
a hero-at once the braveSt and the
most beneficentIy useful man l know.
If he regrets his isolation, if the hard
ship of the life sometimes Expresses
him, no man knows il. He does much,
bur there is much more to do. If the
good people OF the world would give
little more of what they have so ahund-
antly-and Ii they could but know the
need, they would surely do that-joy
might be multiplied on that coast; nor
would any man be wronged by mis-
guide charity.
