'The ninety-sixth annual meeting of the Niagara and Hamilton Regu- lar Baptist association opened in the GRIMSBY church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'cloek. As usual the sessions of the first day were devoted to the reports of the women's home and foreign missionary societies of this association. Mrs. Blandford of Hamil ton presided in the absence of the president, Mrs. Raithby ot Dunnville. Ine, devotional exercises an ad- dress of welcome was given by Miss Thomas' at the GRIMSBY church, and this was followed by greetings from the Methodist and Anglican churches. Mrs. Hendry, the associa- tion director,.gave an encouraging report of the circles and bands. In spite of the fact that some bands sent in no reports, there has been an increase ot over . $100 in the gifts this, past year, the total amount raised being $1955. .. Miss Jones presented the mission study book, The Child in the Mltist, dealing with child life in non-Christ- ian lands. C An interesting band exercise was given, by Miss Rowe of Dunnville, who took the children on an imagin ary trip to Quebec to meet the immi- grants on an incoming st'eamer. The officers for the coming year were then appointed, as follows: President, Mrs. Grey, Niagara Falls; director,' Mrs. Hendry, Hamilton; assistant director, Mrs. Blandford, Hamilton. The opening devotional exercises of the evening session were conduct- ed by Mrs. Veals and Mrs. Foster ot Hamilton. The secretary then read the minutes of the afternoon session. Miss Ellis, principal of Moulton College, gave a very impressive mis- sionary address emphasizing the tact that Canadians do not show the neighborly interest in the foreigners living here that they should. So much might he done to make the women especially, feel more contented and happy, and in this way win their re- spect, confidence and eventually their hearts for Jesus Christ.

Griesbach, No. 27901, 48th Highland ers ot Canada, only 17 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Griesbach, of Collingwood, Ont. and nephew of Jas. A. Livingston of GRIMSBY, de- tails a most interesting account of his experience. He was wounded at the. battle of Langemarck. His descrip- tion, of the artillery fire and shell ex- plosions from the German guns is one ot the best that has been written by any of those who took part in that terrible few days fighting. It is as follows: lage by the name of Sally-Sur-la-Lys,? and we were in the trenches tor a; month. You see we would be in thei trenches for four days and then we, would be out tor four more. We were g in the trenches for 26 days altogether! at Sally. We then marched eight orl nine kilometres more to Estairesl where we were for a month, when we ' got the order to march back to Caes-l tre and we all thought that peace hadl been declared for: we heard rumors. about that and we were positive when, we marched to Caestre, but we were! all disappointed when we got there tor ', we had to march on to Catsel and iF road was rough and a hill over five) miles long. When we got to our des-i tination the fellows were more dead: than alive. We stayed in Catsel for a few days and then started on a very long march which lasted tor three days and at the end of the third day we landed at Ypres, the place where the enemy have tried many and many a time to break through to get to Calais, and it was a shame the way the enemy had torn the place to pieces and it would make the tears come to your eyes to see the biggest and old- est church in France all torn to pieces.

A chap named Peerless woke up and heard his windows rattling from a gun concussion, so he woke every- body else up and we all went out and saw what looked like huge skyrockets dropping and shooting up. We reck- oned something was up, but didn't know what, but in the morning it ap peared that our friend Mr. Zep. had been busy. It was some sight and as the bombs seemed awfully near we thought they were dropping much nearer than they really were. Saw Bombs Dropping on Ramsgate and Dover- -They Looked Like Skyrockets Dropping and Shooting up. The noise Peerless heard was pro- bably an anti-aircraft gun trying to put a shot into the enemy, but no such good luck. ART. Mr. LaPatourel, Grimsby, Mch Mrs. A. P. Randall, Grimsby, R.

The County, has to raise a similar amount; The St. Catharines Consumptive Sanitari- um re the maintenance ot a County charge; The London City Council asking the Council to support the Immigration Act; The Department of Public Works, Toronto, informing the Council that the grant tor the con- struction and maintenance of Public Works does not go into effect this year; The Provincial Treasurer, re- minding the Council of the extra war tax. ' Dr. Ratcliffe was present and ad- dressed the Council in regards to the proposed new Children's Shelter. He pointed out the need of a new build- ing and the advisability of having one Shelter for St. Catharines, Lin- coln county and Welland county. The new Shelter would probably be erect ed in Thorold, the entire cost not to exceed $15,000, this amount to be di- vided between the three municipali- ties thus: St. Catharines 30 per cent, Lincoln 33 per cent, Welland 37 per cent. The committee in charge of the matter will report at this session of the Council. . The regular June session of the County Council opened in the Court House on Monday afternoon with a full council present, and the Warden in the chair. The Auditors' Report was received and a motion passed that it be laid on the table. The report read as follows: "We find the total receipts to have been $149,762.68 and total expenditure of $149,368.28, leaving an overdraft at the Imperial Bank of $5,605.60. We also notice that the expenditures of the County have increased by $37,- 783.54; also that the Patriotic Fund is causing your Treasurer an almost unlimited extra amount of work, which we believe will increase large- ly in the future. We would, therefore, recommend that an assistant be se- cured to enable the treasurer to main tain his present efficiency as an officer to keep the records of your county in their present first class condition. We find from the report of the Canadian Patriotic Association that branches caring for fewer families and expend- ing less money are paying from $50 to $80 a. month for that work alone. We also find of your auditor of last year in regard to the Q. & G. road has caused a complete change in the sys- tem which, with some adjusting, will probably work out satisfactory in the future. We found that the superin- tendent of the road had reported one car 5193 twice on the same date, and was paid for twice. We attempted to check the statement of the superinten dent ot the Q. & G. road as filed with the treasurer, and found some minor differences in the distribution and ac- counts as they appear in the original bills and vouchers sent the treasurer and the same items which form a part of the above mentioned state- ment, but not having the original en,- tries we are unable to trace them through. However, on examination of the minutes of the council we find no record of the adoption of this. state ment by the council and are Unable to make an accurate audit, not having the original entries before us. We would, therefore, recommend that at the end of each year the original expense book of the superintendent be deposited in the office of the County Treasurer as an available record tor the auditors and others interested. We find in the June sessttin's report of the Q. & G. road committee minutes that would show that the Village of Grimsby owes the Gaunty some money ‘on account of the construction of a mew bridge, which we have placed in {the assets."
