of two directors that went out, namely,
Swan Johnson and John Hallquist, and
in their places Robert Vincent and
! Eric Leef were elected. Andrew
johnson was elected overseer or sup
erintendent over the line. His busi-
ness will be to divide up the line in
equal divisions for each stockholder
to look after. Should any one neglect
to do so, that is to keep his division
in coed shape, Mr.. johnson will see
that the repair work is done and the
expense charged up against said stock
holder. There was also an assessment
of $500 made against each telephone.
Mr.. johnson undertook to look after
some extra places of the line himself.

in that far distant land where he has
been a missionary for 16 years. Mis-
sionary Matson was sent to Japan b.
the Observation-Disclosures Mission.
His main object now is to get money
for the building of church at Ito,
Japan. Rev. Matson told of several
Japanese that had given literally to
the mission work. Among them was
a certain Baron Morrimura, who had
given $500 yens, one yen being equal
to SO cent in American money. One
native Christian had given 500 yens
towards the building of church in
Chiba City, Japan, where the mission
has station. Baron Morrimura had
paid the house rent for one missionary
amounting to 315 yens. This man al
so promised that if the mission would
support a native preacher he would
build church and parsonage in the
town of Atomi, which is a great resort
and bathing place. Rev. Matson said
that the amount needed for the church
building just mentioned was $500, of
which he had raised 5000. A sub
scription of $25 was solicited at the
above meeting.

Let us be warned by poor Russia's
present position. The bolsheViki were
very eloquent about peace without an
nexations or indemnities' and they
filed the minds OF the soldiers ana
workmen with tho idea until Mcy
stopped lighting and making muni-
tions. But when they got to Dress
Litovsk they found, as the Russian
leaders probably knew. Germany hat
no intention OF making any such peace.
She wanted the Baltic provinces ct
Russia and she seized any chance 10
take them, and Russia flnds herself IN
n position where, for the present al
least. she has nothing to say as to the
kind Of peace there shall be.
