AUSTRALIA AND ITS RADIuM

We read in one of the Australian pa
pers to hand by this weeks mail that
according to the Victorian director of
geological survey carnotite, which is a
source of radium, has been found in
very small quantities in South Austria
liza near Broken Hill. Uranium, ex-
tracted from pitch blende, is the base
from which radium is obtained in Eng
land. Asked if pitch blende had been
found in Australia Mr.. Dunn said that
ii had not been so far as he knew, but
there was no reason why it should not
exist in the commonwealth Western
Australia, Mr.. Dunn thought, was the
state in which Pitch blende was most
likely to occur and it would not sur
prise him to hear, any day, that it had
been struck Westminster Ga

APPEAL UNTO CAESAR
Methodist Church Seeks Aid From
All Denominations

The Methodist church stands in a
peculiar position at this stage Of their
Improvement work The church I'M
dertook TO build with the assurance
that the building would cost not more
than $4,000 and the estimate was
$500 They raised $4,000 to begin
with, therefore felt they We're safe in
the enterprise and could bear the bur
den with comfort However, by force
Iof circumstances the calculations mis-.
carried widely. Death of some of the
leading members cut down receipts.
The building cost twice what the es-
innate called for, therefore the church
iound itself involved beyond its DOS
sibility to pay. The membership is
making strenuous effort to get out
and meet its obligations.
To DO this it is necessary to appeal
to the people of the village regardless
Of denomination. We are thankful
for the kind fayors we have received
and ask that those who have not as.
sisted consider the present situation
We are building a nice church in keen
ing with the other churches, the
village and the people. We need this
larger building. To finish the build
Ing. and pay the debt requires $4,000
We are exercising the most rigid econ
omy. We are giving to the limit of
our capacity before asking. We now
have about $4,000 subscribed but
nearly $4,000 of this is conditioned on
our getting all. To fail would be
most disastrous and put us back with
Z heavy mortgage. We cannot afford
20 fail but have not the strength to
lift the load. We appeal unto those
about us In this emergency--not to in
trude on others means but in time
of real need. A brotherly hand in
this crisis will long be remembered.
Any who may respond please see f.
L. Bottum.
We wish to work out part of the
amount subscribed by the societies
and will appreciate any right of way
allowed us in the next three months.
We do not wish in this appeal unto
Caesar TO be. misunderstood Every
true Christian will stand by his own
but this does not prevent his extend
ing helping hand to another.
Trusting the spirit of this will be
appreciated and that a kind Prov-
dence will favor those who assist in
thus promoting His Kingdom we
make this appeal to all who can as
sist in worthy cause
