HEARINGS IN
STATE BANK
CASE CONTINUE

The hearings in the State Bank
case were resumed Saturday morning
with Receiver Wildes on the stand,
according to the Carson Appeal.
George Green, attorney for Mr..
Wudes, went over details of the
Mouahan report with him. This is
verldcation of the testimony given
at the outset Of the hearing as
brought out by the attorneys for
the state and depositors. In no in
stance was anything new developed
on the re- examination of the Mona
han report.
During the morning session Mr..
Green asked MIR. Wildes if the inter
ference with him by suits had delay
ed the settlements. The receiver
stated that it had and cited cases
where the delays and interference
had prevented the settlement Of ac-
counts and held up advantageous
sales
. 1t was further brought out that
during the last few years the rumor
had been prevalent that Judge Ian
gan profted along with the receiver.
Wildes stated that this was the bas-
est of rumors and that the mere in
timauon of such conduct was a false
hood in every respect. Objection
was raised on the part Of the state
attorney to such questioning,
Before the close of the morning
session the Wildes report, dating
, from the Monahan report to April
1921, was offered. The vouchers for
the same are available and the re
port will undoubtedly be verified by
vouchers.
The report covers each period
quarterly and each item IS belnl
taken up. all becoming a matter o
record Upon the finish OF this eyi
! dence the state will examine the re-
/ celver.

THE DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR

Full knee deep lies the winter snow.
And the winter winds are YEARLY
sighing
Toll ye the ehureh-bell sad and slow
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old year, you must not die;
You came to us so readily,
You lived with US so steadily.
Old year, you shall not die.
He lieth still, he doth not move;
He will not see the dawn of day.
He hath no other life above.
He gave me a friend and a true. true
love,
And the New Year will take 'em away
Old year, you must not go;
So long as you have been with Us,
Such JOY as you have seen with Us.
Old year, you shall not go.
He frothcd his bumpers to the brim.
A jollier year we shall not see.
But though his eyes are waxing dim,
And though his foes speak in Of him.
He was a friend to me.
Old year, you shall not die,
We did so laugh and cry with you.
I've half mind to die with you.
Old year If you must die.
He was full of joke and jest,
But all his merry quips are Ger.
To see him die, across the waste
His son and heir doth ride post-haste
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own.
The night is starry and cold, my
friend,
And the New-year blithe and bold,
my friend,
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathes over the snow
heard just now the Growing cock
The shadows flicker to and fro;
The cricket ehirps; the light burns
low;
It's nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake hands before you de
Old year, Wen dearly rue for you.
What is it we can do for you?
Speak out. before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin.
Alack our friend is gone.
Close up his eye; tie up his chin;
Step from the corpse, and let him in
That standeth there alone.
And waiteth at the door.
There's a new foot on the floor. my
friend,
And a new face at the door. my
friend,
4 new face at the door.

we preferred walking to jolting over

miles from Durham. Here one finds
the homes Of the missionaries and the
training school which has been de-
veloped. finely located. There is a day
school for the children who come from
the native kraals in the vicinity Of the

come from the outstation schools for
further training. They receive this
training in the High School, Teacher

On the Heights of Umtali

From Umtali. which is about 5000
feet in altitude, we climbed gradually
till at Melsetter we were 5000 feet
above sea level This is a small village
about 100 miles from Umtali. Our
mail is delivered here by Post Cart
from Umtali. then is carried the rest
Ct the way to Silinda by natives The
read descends from Melsetter until
you reach Silinda which Is 1900 feet
high.
The morning of May24th two weeks
from the day we left Umtali, Mr.. Ma
Their, one Of the missionaries, met US
in his two-wheeled cart. We were then
thirty miles from Silinda which we
reached after dark, that evening.
Such a royal welcome as awaited usl
As We emerged from the forest into
the station grounds, there suddenly
burst forth from the one hundred and
thirty-eight school children assembled,
a song of welcome in their native Ian
guage IL gave US thrill we shall not
soon forget.
We stayed at Mt. Siinda, the CEN
trail station of the Mission until June
30th. visiting the missionaries. During
two weeks of this time the Annual
Mission Meeting was in session, so we
had an opportunity to get an insight
into the work and problems of the
mission at the very first We also met
of this Mission. At the meeting it
was voted that we go to Gogoi Station
for at least six months of our language
study
We came here to Gogoi on June
18th. Perhaps you might be interest
ed to know little about our trip
down from Silinda And il is down
for we are on much lower ground than
Silinda Horses and donkeys cannot
live in the vicinity Of Gogoi on
account of the tetse fly, hence the
following mode Of travel. Mrs. Mea-

In Portuguese East Africa

Gogoi is station of the Mission
located in Portuguese East Africa,
named for Chief Gogoi, among whose
people 1t is located. The Mozambique
Company, which has control over
this section Of Portuguese East Africa
has forbidden the missionaries TO
teach or preach to the natives in the
vetnacular. Portuguese must be used
rs the medium Of expression. This
is greatly hampering the work here as
there is no one proficient in the
Portuguese language and If there were
the natives must first be taught it, as
they do not know it either Sunday
services are held at three OF four
kraals. conducted by native evange-
lists. SO the work Of spreading the
Gospel goes on in spite Of the govern
ment.
We are at present alone at this sta
ton. Rev. and Mrs. j. p Dysart. the
