Great changres have taken place in China since those days. In order to know the actual conditions that pre- vail, Dr. and Mrs. Taylor recently undertook to re-visit the eld, and spent three years in their investiga- tion. Their journey took them west to the borders of Mongolia and Th-il)et, and into fteen provinces. It was a wonderful experience, and it appeared as if they would com- plete the task without any great difficulty. But just before they reached the railway, suddenly, with- in one day's journey of the terminus, they were carried off by brigands in Southwest China. The story of those long weeks that followed-af- ter Mrs. Taylor had been set at -1i- ber-ty-while Dr. Taylor veniain-rd in -the hands of that desperate band, constantly threatened with death, cannot be told in a few words. The thrilling events that followed in rapid succession have been publish- ed in Howard Taylor's book, With Pu and His Brigands. The China Inland Mission, of which Dr. Taylor is a member, is, as `its name indicates, specially inter- ested in inland China. It has been a pioneer in many provinces. When Hudson Taylor faced the'question of carrying the gospel to the in- terior of the land, eleven great in- land provinces were fast closed, and their many millions had never heard the name of Christ. Those pro- vinces are now widely open, and many have heard the p:ood tidinp;s. But while the China Inland Mission has been privileged to be a pioneer in many provinces it has warmly ...,.l..n.~u..l flan nn.+I-nnnn nf nfhnr has neen p1`lvilt.-),'ou U) m: 2:.

There are many millions who have not heard of Him who is the way, the truth, and the life. In addition to this there are special classes in China still untouched, for whom the Word of God has not yet been translated; the tribespeople in such districts are still waiting for the light. The Moslem population in China. exceed- ing as it does the total population of Canada, is without one missionary free to devote his or her whole time to this diicult but promising work.

Hud: son Taylor, and the formation and ` growth of the China Inland Mission, is told in the two volumes specially prepared by Dr. and Mrs. F. Howvarrl Taylor, books that have brought rich blessing into many lives, The Growth of a Soul and The Growth of a Work of God. For the upkeep and extension of its work Rex Beach, the eminent American author, was recently in New Bruns- wick as a guest of W. G. McIntyre. On leaving for his home in the United States at the conclusion of his visit, Mr. Beach expressed him- self as a strong booster for the hunting and fishing possibilities of the province, charmed with its scenic beauties, delighted wic-knits people and solemnly proposing to return with his gang next year.

There were 35 animals in the shipment, valued at $17,000, 30 being silverblack foxes and the rest black foxes. The former were destined for exhibition at Minneap- olis, while the latter went to dif- ferent points in the Canadian West. The Eastern International Dog- Sled Derby, which was so success- ful last year, will again be held at Quebec in 1925, the dales set being February 19th, 20th and 21st. As on former occasions, the distance to be covered will be 120 miles, at an average rate of 40 miles a day. Earl Bridges, Le Pas, Manitoba, now holds the handsome trophy awarded for the race and is ex- pected to defend his honors. Many teams are already working out. A decided acquisition to Trois Ri- vieres, Que., is the new Canadian Pacific Railway station, which was opened there on November 8th. The building is Italian in design. Rose ' and Macdonald, of Montreal, were the architects. Remarkable speed was made in the construction, as the contract for the work was only signed on June 2nd last. The open- ing ceremony was performed by Grant Hall, vice-president of the company, in the presence of many notables. Three moose and one deer was the total bag of W. B. Leeds, jr., young American multi-millionaire,` and his friends, Nils Florman, Al-i bert Hopkins, Paul Smith and Mar.` timer Davis, jr., as the result of their recent hunting trip into the Kipawa district.
