OF the twelve Presbyteries will have a

Inc great Importance of mission study
and how to conduct class was impressed
upon us in a clear and practical way by
Rev. Warren H. Stuart. Five short pa

heads, Young Peoples Mission Work.
The Forward Movement, "The Student

and 1.-THE Difference Between Boards and
Committees" stated concisely just the in
formation which should be disseminated
throughout the societies.
Among the many interesting papers
which deeply impressed and influenced
their hearers were 'Woman's Work for
Woman" by Mrs. R. E. Magill; Personal
Work" by Mrs. G. r. Cannon; "rhe Value
of Missionary Literature by Miss Elem

aries themselves, their daily duties, and
their need for help and sympathy from
their frienus in the home land Were
given by Mrs j. r. Graham, Mrs S. L.
Woodbridge and Mrs. Cameron Johnson.
Rev. j. &. Booker laid upon our hearts
the Importance of Home Missions, and
their relations to the foreign work. The
needs of Union Theological Seminary
were persuasively presented by Rev. A. d.
P. Gilmour.
Thursday evening pleasing addresses
were delivered by DR.. Chester and Rev.
George b. Henderlite, Of Brazil. The tol-
lowing night Mr.. Cameron Johnson. who
has recently returned from a tour of our
mission stations, delighted large audi
ence by stereopticon lecture on Korea.
The pictures are exceptionally fine, and
this method of being brought in touch
with the work through the eye as well as
the ear, is so effective we wish all socie-
ties could use it as means OF promoting
the interest and information to their
members. The meeting for leaders of
Young Peoples Work Saturday morning,
and the children's meeting Sunday after
noon were each full of interest.
The present officers of the Union were
unanimously reelected for the ensuing
year, and are as follows: President. Mrs.
J. Calvin Stewart Richmond; vice-presi-

Unions in the respective order in which

Margaret Anglin, who refused to pro-
ceed with the third act of William
Vaughn Moody's play until he signed
a document giving her the exclusive
American, English and Australian
rights to it, was born in the Canadian
House of Parliament twenty-five years
ago. That her birthplace was un-
usual resulted from the fact that her
father, Timothy Anglin. was Speaker
of the Canadian House and her mother
was there during a session.
Miss Anglin has been on the stage
ten years, her first important engage
ment being with James O'Neill, with
whom she played Mercedes in Monte
Cristo." In Mansfield's production of
the famous "Cyrano de Bergerac" she
had the part of Roxanne, and later
was star in the Empire Theatre Stock
Company of New York. For two years
she has been at the head of her own
company, and has achieved marked
success In "Zira."-

brave man and a pretty woman are
two of the finest sights in creation
They ought always to be together. "
There was something in his tone that
made her blush, and though she agreed
with him, she took the first opportunity
of clearing off to another part of the
deck.
Shortly afterwards we put to sea.
For the next few days we had the
best weather, and everything went
smoothly. l could see one or two
things that set me thinking The
first was that the old man was making
himself uncommonly attentive to Miss
Sandford. The second was that Mr..
Hay, in quiet and timid sort of way,
was thinking a good deal of her too.
For my part, 1 thought the girl fancied
Hay rather than Hoskins; and though
she couldn't avoid the "old man." and
could not help listening to his sea
yarns, l could see her eyes turning
forwards towards the waist, where
Hay was putting In his time looking
at the lion.
One afternoon the skipper was sit

them.

OF course, the "old man" should
have interfered. But he didn't like
being told his duty by the little Pro-
fessor, especially when the girl was
about, so he just sneered.

II should certainly regard it as un-
fortunate" the little man replied.
"You see, a drunken man might be
careless about the fastenings. 1 must
really insist upon your speaking to
him."
Hes not one Of my crew." said
Hoskins. II have enough to do to
look after them. If any OF them get
drunk, they'll hear of it. But this chap
is a passenger, even If he is only

Bravery, Doctor, said my friend the
third officer, isn't such a simple thing
as you think it. One man is brave in
one way, and another in a different one

# That was what old Captain Hoskins,
whom used to sail with, could never
understand. If man was bit nerv-

down on him as all sorts of a coward.
But there came a day when he learned
better.
1t happened when l was with him
Tin a three-masted sailing-ship, the
Arrow. We lay at Singapore, along
side Tanjong Pagan wharf, loading
with a general cargo for Liverpool.
The principal object in that cargo was
lion that we were shipping for
London. 1t lay in a strong cage OF
wood and iron, with a door in the
front through which it could be fed.
1t was a fine big brute, and every time
II stretched itself you could see the
muscles slipping over its sides and the
big wicked-iooking claws peeping out
OF the pads of its feet in way that
made you very thankful for the bars.
We had passenger or two, one OF
whom was a young girl who went by
the name of Hilda Sandford. Directly
the old man set eyes on her trim figure
and her wealth of golden hair, he was
struck all Of heap, so to speak, and
could see that he was promising him
self a mighty pleasant voyage.
The other passenger was a strange,
lean, wiry man, who wore gold eye
glasses, and kept peering about the
ship in a most uncomfortable way.
He gave his name as Professor Hay,
though we didn't find out what he pro-
fessed until later.
An hour or two before we started
this Mr.. Hay came up to the old man
and began asking him a lot of Ques-

"The White Company, to write
which Mr.. Doyle read 123 contem-

of England's Knight Errants, her re-
doubtable men-at-arms and her Won
drous lOng-bowmen, during the period
when all France was harried by the
famous Black Prince. In those times,
when gunPOwder was just coming to
be used in a crude form, the English
long bowman could send his gray
goose shaft, with deadly effect, a dis
tanc of 420 yards, or practically a
quarter of a mile. The bows were
made of yew, tough and springy, and
the arrows were of ash, long, and
feathered and straight.
