Rev. . Dr. Goforth, Presbyterian inister to Honan, China, delivered irring address in St. Andrew's hurch Wednesday night to a large andience composed of members of the different Presbyterian churches the city. Principal Gordon pre- sided, and introduced the speaker in a short speech, in which he extolled | th¢ work that the missionaries were doing in foreign lands. Dr. Goforth said that what was needed was an overflow of the churches in ristiap lands. Such jan overflow Jas as necessary to the a off the world as the over- lle was to'the salvation of Egypt. There should be an over- fio of faith, of love, of obedience, and of sacrifice. There was an over: flow of these graces among the na. tive Christians in China, and great good wag being accomplished. As in the days of Christ, demons were being actually cast out. There were plenty of devils in Canada, but they were not so crude or violent as those to be found in China. There men and women blasphemed while they prayed for mercy. War Would Have Been Impossible. If there had been an overflow of love 'in the Christian Church the present war would never have re- sulted. When there was a full over- flow of love no earthly boundaries would be recognized. The world would be one. It God controlled, it would be pos- sible to run the churches and the Y. M. C.

There was lots of mongy in Canada, but how little of it went to. foreign lands. China an Open Door. China was "an open door to the missionary. The Chinese realized their own religions were pagan and that the gospel of Christ was the power of God unto salvation. The fields. were white unto the harvest, but there was a lack of reapers. The singing was led by a union choir, and Mrs. Archer sang with fine effect "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go, Dear Lord." Wednesday afternoon Dr, Goforth addressed the Woman's Missionary Society of St. Andrew's church, giv- ing an inspiring account of mission work in China. A thankoffering was taken up, and about $90 received. Mrs. Carr-Harris, president of the society, presided over a a large gather ing. MEDICAL STUDENTS ENTER PROTEST At Not Being Allowed to Re~ turn From Front to Finish Course. Twenty-seven medical students of the year '17 of Queen's, serving with No. 7 Canadian General Hospital in France, have written a protest over receiving no special military recog- nition. . They say they have seen eighteen months" active service. The medical students of "Varsity 17 have returned long ago, and they think it unjust that they also have not been recalled in view of the fact that | his home in company with Constable after the war there will be greater, need for medical men than ever be- fore, and as it is a serious thing to empty the medical schools of their students when the war may last for some years, The Queen's men quote the appeal made by distinguished university representatives 'of Great Britain in this regard, who urge the conserving of medieal students for the future. December fourteen final year medical students of Queen's were allowed to return from over- geas service to complete their course. TWO BROTHERS FIGHTING. Former R 23 Write Letters.

First Summons Case Since the Tem- perance Act Came Into Effect--An [Ji Assault Case Was Dismissed, The prohibition axe Thursday morning session of the Po; lice court. It feel on Edwin Bullock, who. lives near the corner of Ontario and Brock street, and made a cut in his bank book to the extent of $10, plus the costs of the court. Edwin is very fond of liguor. Some few months ago it will be re- [Ji tiembered that his house was raided 'by the police, and quite a supply of |} both hard and soft "stuff" was gath- ered in, including a keg of beer. ° On Wednesday Constanble Samuel Arniel eaught Bullock quite drunk and acting in a disorderly manner on the street, and got out a summons for him under the Temperance act This was thé first summons to be is- |} sued under the new Act. When ar raigned, Bullock admitied that he had been drinking. "I got the liquor before {he hotels i weré cli and put it away," was the excuse t ceused gave. "Well, is your supply all gone now?" asked the magistrate. "Yes, I finished it up on Wednes- day afternoon." The option wis one month in jail, but as soon as the session of the court was over Bullock went over to John Naylon and secured the money. It certainly costs money to drink whiskey these days, judging by the way the fines are being handed out. Ross Berrigan, a young man, was charged with assaulting one Edward Thurow, but the latte: was conspic- uous hy his absence. Constable Ar- nie] stated that he had been 'notified to be present. The accused pleaded 'mot guilty." As the complainant was not present the magistrate dis- missed the charge. A BIBLE CLASS RALLY Held in the First Baptist Church Wednesday Evening.
