This is a development of the work of the Pres`byterian church of Can- ada in India. The Indians emigrated in Search of `bettermenrt of their social and nanc'ial state. Most did so under a contract to work on a plantation for a certain number 01 years. Their freedom was in no wise jeopardized by the contract. Many settled on the sugar planta- tions in Trinidad and Jamaica, as well as in British G.uiana. The East Indians in these three places thus form a very enticing missionary eld. They have been brought from their own land by the white man to work on his plantations and the white man is under strong moral obligation to share with them the hig`her thing's of life. This eld comprising` a quarter of a million of India's children at our very door, is (lifferent from all other missionary fields. In the others, the church is attacking" the customs of people that have been entrenched for centuries among the selfsame associations. In British Guiana there is a people ` transplanted from its natural en- , vironment, trying to adjust itself to . a new set of customs. They are )1'.

Wm. Tindale was born about 1485 in Gloucestershire, near Wales. He was a precocious scholar, and early gradu-ated at both Oxford and Cam- bridge. He was a greast linguist, equally at home in English, '3.1'-.-ek, Hebrew, Latin, Spanish, French and Italian. At Cambridge he came un- der the influence of Erasmus. Shortly after graduation he was a tutor in the home of Sir John \V_-alsh. at Little Sodbury. Then he went to` 1 London, where we nd him preac`.-1- Eng until compelled to flee to the continent. At Cologne hecommenced his work of printing the Scriptures.` From there he went to Worms- fresh with the influence of Martin Luther. Marbur_Q' and other points were also scenes of his labors.

The council evidently have not decided just what theyl want. Some members were of the opinion that it would not be neces- sary to have storm sewers and gutter on Blake St. and Burton Ave. The plans of the engineer provide for storm sewer and gutter on one side o'f/these streets only. The plans will have to be approved by the Govern- I I "ment before work is started. 1\ ,, 1;`, L1. _ -1....!..... `L... 1--.. uyluln uu. inc lu1'in_g' , 'BOARD musss j SALARY SCHEDULE; No I11(:1'oase This Year F01` Lady Teac11e1's Getting Over $1000.

Attention is drawn to the large in- I crease in taxes unpaid and in ar- rears, and the corresponding` increase ' in the general bank overdraft.

On December 31, 1924, taxes unpaid and in arrears rose to I $46,303.31 and the bank overdraft increased t-o $51,375.83. It is noted that over $16,000.00 of arrears and unpaid taxes is on properties where no settlement has been made for] over three years. The arrears 0: 1923 taxes at December 31, 1923, the yreneral tax levy for that year.
