e. Smith ended Sunday evening" The
people turned out from So persons at the
opening service to abont 260 at the close.
A wonderful trio of meetings were ex-
perienced ON Sunday. On each occasion
most beautiful and impressive altar
service was held. Altogether, between
70 and so persons of varying ages, came
forward and knelt to confess the Christ
as their Saviour and King.
The two mems meetings, which were
held on the Sunday afternoons, were fea-
lures of the campaign. Nothing like

The results of the campaign cannot
fail to be of lasting good to the whole
community.
Next Sunday afternoon a young peo-
pies meeting will be held at $3.50 O'Clock.

In Our New World.

The Immediately and directly con
sequential effects of the European
war on the trade, industry and finance
OF the Americas are more or less ap-
parent to all. Its moral effect, the
quickening of national and individual
conscience. is likewise apparent to
many thoughtful observers; but we
are apt to lose sight of the fact that
another quickening is being felt in the
industrial world, throughout all the
western hemisphere. and that is a bet.
ter realization of the verities of ma.
tional existence, a fuller comprehen.
sion in each republic of just what its
place is in the congeries of nations

tain this place and to secure the fullest
fruition to which the resources and
capabilities of each country entitle

Sulphur in New Zealand.

Sulphur deposits are found on White
Island, in the Bay of Plenty on the
coast of the North Island o. New Zea.
land, about thirty miles from the main.
land. This island. which covers about
600 acres. attains a height of 500 feet
on one side and opens to the sea on
the other. Its topography indicates
an old crater, and the boiling lake on
the island, which is one Of the awe
inspiring sights of New Zealand, is a
further evidence of volcanism. After
the New Zealand Sulphur company
had spent 100000 in preparation for
mining sulphur in this locality. a vol
canic disturbance wrecked the camp
and killed ter men
