that we were scarcely aware of the
fact, that the old year had de-
parted, and we are facing all that
is in store for US, whether it be
good or bad. Let us hope that
1905 will prove even better than
1904, that peace may be restored
in the far East, and that all ma
lions may be able to shout the
glad anthem, "Glory to God in
the highest, on Earth, peace good

for training schools and medical
work. Mrs. Dale is a medical
