B. Lewis, Assistant tendent, Kiangsi Province, unfolded this amazing nar- rative ding the capture and the of Rev. and Mrs. R. W. Por- teous pulses quickened. Eyes fas- upon Rev. and Mrs. Porteous seated upon the platform but as yet denied the privilege of making public addresses as they convalesce from g ence. The news that reached fellow mis- sionaries on March 24 stating that Mr. and Mrs. Porteous and Miss N E. Gemmell had been captured by the Communistic brigands, was heart ing, said Rev. Mr. Lewis. e Had Been Slain year before five Chinese evangelists, who had been taken captive by 'the same group of Ce munists had, following the payment of:$500 ransom money, been murder- ed. Only a few weeks earlier oS Finnish women missionaries of} associate mission had been taken in- to captivity and foully done to death by the same group. The Red Army surrounding the city early in the morning had' captured the mission: sries while walking in the garden. Mr. and Mrs. Porteous had had their hands bound with ropes, but upon the entreaty of a non-Christian Chinese, who recounted the story of! Mr, Porteous risking his life for the people of the city when the Northern Army had made an attack, their hands were released.) There followed days and weeks of helplessness, the Christian sparing no effort to raise money to free the beloved issi ies. e Chi do not worship courage, Mr. Lewis point out, and it is customary when faced by trouble to flee, yet these young Chinese Christians sac- rificed from their meagre earnings and the women gave their bits of jewellery and trinkets to help pay the ransom. Braving death these loyal Chinese journeyed the almost impasible roads, carrying their col- ed moneys, jewellery and en- jreaties to the headquarters of the Communists holding captive the mis- Monaries . ing for their release. With the ransom price set at $60, the brigands rned the paltry " Chinese. Then upon the impassioned request of Mr, and Mrs. Porteous their fellow missionary Miss Gem- mell, was realeased and returned to the mi station. Again and again the Chinese Christians--a scin- tillati i amo them bei Sa a and Nisit. ¢d the camp of the Reds, fighting valiantly for the freedom of the missiongries. s . Finally, despising the moneys off- ered, the leaders among the brigands suggested that medicines, so neces- sary to'the wounded soldiers would be as acceptable as ransom. Although the 'workers of the "China Inland Mission had deemed it unwise, if they had possessed the $60,000 ran- som price to have paid "it, thus put- ting a price on the head of every missi Vy ideration was given to the securing of imedicines. Defying road 'problems six loads of medicines, accompanied by an offering of $1800 were dispatched to the munists, curiously enough reaching. the camp at the close of a battle. With gratitude the Reds, with a total of 300 wounded men, accepted the medicine, setting a value of $7,000 on the stock. Still the release of the missionaries was not granted. A slip of paper sign- ed by General Peng, and which was displayed by Rev. Mr. Lewis as an of Mr. and Mrs. Porteous. Re- doubled efforts and an unceasing battle on the part of the. workers of the China Inland Mission, the Chi- nese Christians and a world of Christians paying, the writing of letters by General Peng recommend- ing the release, the sending of more medicine to the Communist comps. Then eventually the issuing of the order. for the release of the mission- aries. A 'There was tense silegce in the held up a slip of paper bearing Chinese characters--the signed order that had given Mr. and Mrs. Por- teous release from their terrible captivity. Emaciated and weak and ufiable to even stand, the missionar- ies faced a gigantic problem in try- ing to journey back to the mission station. This difficulty had, however, been forseen by the mission leaders and the medicines had been trans- ported 'in sedan chairs. Overcoming the rule 'of the Communist which leased missionaries were carried back to their station in the chairs thas provided.

P, Heaton of Toronto, in his Presidential ad- dress to the annual conference here of Canadian Fire Marshals, He made the statement in con- tradiction of figures given at the recent Winnipeg , convention of the International Fire Chiefs As. sociation to the effect that 20 per cent, of the fires on the North American Continent avere set. In so far as the Dominion is concerned, said Mr. Heaton, in- cendiary fires are few. He pointed out that during the present econ- omic depression, industrial and mercantile fires were generally fewer than in any of the five pre- ceding years, The fine work of Provincia' Fire Marshals during the past twelve months ~ had enabled pre- sentation of an exceptionally favorable record of fire-prevention work. The one outstanding Yeplor- able condition, the President thought, was the rapidly growing number of residence fires, with consequent danger to human life. Talkie; "Hell's Angels" Banned by Ontario Toronto, Oct., 1.~~Because it is alleged to present a slurring and unfavorable picture of the Royal Air Force, the talking motion ple- ture, "Hell's Angels," has been ban- ned by the Ontario board of censors. It was billed to be presented at a local theatre. Major J, €. Boylen, chairmgn of the board said the pro- ducers had declined to consider the board's request for elimination of certain scenes which cast a reflec. tion on the personnel of the force, and therefore the board was unable to approve the picture, _SHE THOUGHT: I'd love to dance~--but I can't - stand 'B.O."

LYONS TEA ONTARIO SAFETY WORK DESCRIBED United States Organization Greatly Interested in . Work Here Pittsburgh, Penn., Oct. 1.--<The safety of the people is the supreme law," quoted R. B. Morley, General- manager of the Industrial Accident when he spoke today at the National Safety Congress here before the gov- ernmental officials session of the National Safety Council. Mr. Morley's subject was that of governmental relations with safety agencies and his address aroused great interest and led to several ques- tions from the members of the con- gress, : Three phases of the government's relations with safety agencies were dealt with. First was co-operation through representation of commit- tees of safety organizations "The second form of co-operation," said Mr, Morley, "is that such as we have in Canada through the Cana- dian National Safety League, a dom- inion-wide organization, and the On- tario Safety League." In this case the government co-operated through being represented on committees and through direct grants. The speaker described the third type of relations, in the words of section 114, of the Ontario Work- man's Compensation Act, which says in part: "employers may form them- selves into an association for accident prevention and may make rules for that purpose. The Workmen's Com- pensation Board may approve suchy rules if it believes the association sufficiently represents the employers in the given industries."

Weigle declared last night in his address at the opening exercises of the 109th year of the Yale Divinity School. 7 "We have thoughtlessly been blaming youth for our present ills," the dean said. "But youth has little to do with them, Youth is clean and decent today,' as al- ways, until it gets spoiled by wrong influences and evil oppor- tunities. The fault lies not with youth, but with middle-age; not with ehildren, but with their par- ents." "The new paganism cannot last," he sald in conclusion. "I be- lieve that we are upon the thres- hold of a great revival of rdligious faith. The world is beginning to sense its spiritual hunger. Such a revival will not come through the mere reassertion of old authorities dogmas. We are living in a differ- or the reiteration of 'time-worn ent world from that of our fath- ers; we know more and can do more. The times demand of us, not Jhe mere transmission of moral and spiritual heritage, but creat- ive thinking and adventurous action." PROVINGIAL AND (ITY RELIEF WORK GETS $13,000,000 Fedenl Gov't.

While the immediate aims and intentions ;yof Hitler have been oc+ cupying miich attention here and abroad of late, the ultimate aims of his German Fascist movement are little known even in this coun- try. They are explained at length, however, in his book. German Fascism, as explained by its leader, is more than a politi- cal party, more than a national movement--it is a new philosophy of life. Hitler sees the Nationai Socialist mission as nothing les than working for the building up of a superior human race--"a master race" capable of accoms- plishments at present far beyond the mental capacity of man. Such a superior race can be de- veloped, according to Hitler, only: by determined furthering of the best racial elements, likewise lib- | eral encouragement of the fittest f individuals and the ruthless imita.. tion of "inferiors." earth, he reasons, and if the Ger- mans do not awaken, it is likely to be some non-Germanic race, Eventually || some superior race will inherit the |, Was Constipated, Bilious, Tired.

MANY TELEPHONES HAVE BEEN REMOVED Melbourne, Australia--In the 11 months 'ended May 31 there were 52400 telephone installations and 37,506 cancellations in the Common- wealth. Commenting on these figures the director-general of postal ser- vices (Mr. H, P, Brown) said that it was disquieting to learn that the net increase of installations over cancellations had been falling off in the last nine months, and although the June figures were not yet avail- able it was probable that in that month the cancellations exceeded the installations. In October there had been 3,000 more installations that cancellations, in January 567, and 'in May only 43. The figures would probably have been more satisfactory had not the Postmaster-General's department conducted an intensive campaign to advertise the uses and advantages of telephones.
