years ago the gonlall company purchased the seed house located at the cnr station from the then owners f t hill co and lou todd they had not made up their minds at that time to locate here but were of the opinion that ultimately the firm would leave the city the decision was made in favor of stouffville only recently since which time the large brick seed building has been overhauled reroofed and

hastings they buy seeds in large bulk lot from the dealers spread over the country and have a large export trade as it is not a business which calls tor a great deal of labor ibeins employed there

desire to witness this and if possible get a snapshot of it for none of our missionaries here have one the workers from this station were out early preaching the gospel to the crowd which had gathered for the festival as i am not yet fluent enough in tamil to speak to the people i followed along later arriving at the temple just as the parade began at the head of the parade was a band an indian band where the members play different tunes on different instruments at the same time as an author writes the music of the east is intended to prepare the listener for the pause that follows sound is used only in order to emphasize silence follow ing the band is the goddess made of silver covered with garlands and offerings of food being borne along on the shoulders of men this parade goes to the centre of the village where the buffalo is met after a selection or two from the band and some dancing by a group of men tho parade returns to the temple where the slaughter will take place in front of the temple a hole about twelve feet in diameter and four feet deep has been dug to receive the buffalo after the formal ity of decapitation around this hole the crowd gathers after a little delay a common occurrence here during which the chief of police and his staff exercise their lungs well canes more and a few words of exhortion from several holy men all is in order i just wish you could see this scene if it were not- for the serious ness of the affair one could certain ly find much to amuse himself finally i reached the place i had in view for a good snapshot i am standing opposite the sacrifice with only the hole between it and myself j have a clear view of the sacrifice tho village headman the chief- priest who is highly painted in gaudy colours and smeared with sani cowmanure and his assist ants i calmly snap this scene but as i was turning my film something happened i was then face to face with the buffalo and its head was about half off i could not retreat for the crowd nor advance for the hole finally tho buffalo gets past me and all i had was some blood on my shirt and arm as a souvenir the crowd is frantic some men get hold of the animal a young man grasps the elderly priests knife and severs its head from its body and then re ceives the plaudits of the crowd tho abovo is written just to give you another view of the people and their customs this is an ancient custom its source is not known to the participants it is done to appease the wrath of the indian goddess of blood she is oftimes portrayed having a knife in one hand and a skull in the other it is not universal among the hindus for tho brahmins have no part in it even aa my munshi said to me it is a ghastly sight and an abomina tion unto us it is absolutely de void of any spirit of worship how different this is from what wo have to offer unto all behold tho lamb of god which bearoth away the sin of the world i praise the lord for the continual outpour ing of his mercies upon me he is indeed
