over the peak you follow a winding road up through bush and again come out on the fifth along the west fence and reach the usual road a short dis tance south of eldon liolenders gate so many of the storms have fool ed us by coming in a furious blast from the east that next year the people who erect the snow fences will wonder on which side of the road to put this fence and then some one foretells the biggest storm of the winter to come the last week of february well that gives us only a few more days so well see however we do hope that this mild weather will con tinue and give the cisterns and hard water wells a chance to replenish their supply of water which is gett ing extremely low in many cases some are dry but even so let us be thankful that we can get water someplace near

attained an audience the immensity of which he never dreamed the tribune has received so many letters protesting the views express ed in the sermon that we are un able to reproduce them one reply

my word as all good scotsmen do i now find it necessary to pen a few words for your paper as i lay no claims to my ability as a correspondent please feel free to assign the following to the paper or to the waste basket as your judg ment deems it wise i write this from the backwoods of india 25 miles from the railway and where for mail to reach me from the railway it requires a bus part way and the remainder by native runner my trip to anthiyur was most en- joyable and educational from stouffville to london england i have nothing of outstanding interest to record i arrived in london seven days after leaving quebec and to he true to type it was foggy the fog is so heavy that large oil flares are used on the streets to guide traffic as my time was limited i went sightseeing before the fog lifted london boasts of many places of interest and it has them in abun dance i saw many the old parlia ment buildings of 10th century i origin the great british museum when we published the statement with millions of items of extreme of a local farmer who claimed that i interest including a library of some he was getting 45c per bushel for his turnips delivered in toronto during the had road season the re port was branded as untrue from several quarters nothing over 30c could be got in toronto said one man and then it meant peddling a bag hero and thcro r e brown local shipper said he doubted if any man could get such a price in the city certainly if it was obtainable i would much rather ship to toron to myself he continued the bushel price at tho local de pot is around isc and the turnips find a market in the middle states after a long haul and heavy freight rates it has always been a debatable matter as to who fares the best the 5 v6 million books the original re cords of history the original biblo manuscripts one of which we re cently bought from russia for 500000 westminster abbey st pauls cathedral the tower of london other places too numerous to mention this i must write to me the most touching and moving of all yea even the most impressive of all was in westminster abbey as i stood by the tomb of one a humble scots man by birth a follower of jesus christ who today lies in stately surroundings amid kings and princes and yet in his lifo time he suffered much in his missionary en deavours even to dying in the man who sells on the local market jungles ot africa on his knees bo or tho one who obtains a higher j fore god finally being home by the price by peddling his goods in the black men he loved and won to city it is just possible that all christ for hundreds of miles suffer- thlngs considered there is little ing untold hardships on the way difference and tho man who takes and in tho end to be accorded the the smaller home quotation is as greatest honor britain can bestow well off as the chap who spends time on her dead as one stands beside and gasoline on catering direct to his tomb david livingstone he will city trade notlco that a tear will moisten tho eye of the most hardened and cynical of men as i had four days left before my ship sailed from london i was able to visit dear old scotland the greatest country in the world i will refrain from telling of its grandeur however i visited friends in edin burgh aberdeen and glasgow on my way to the boat a black cat crossed my path i walked under a ladder and had to sail on friday the 13th so if anything had gone wrong i had reasons for any mishap from london our first call was tangier north africa a very wierd place with foreigners of every type then came gibraltar a splendid sight with its battleships destroyers submarines bombing planes in the harbor one cannot see our modern fortifications on the rock itself but i went through the old i climbed for a great distance through tunnels at least 20 wide and 15 high bored out of solid rock it has a delightful climate flowers were blooming by the score on dec 18 marseilles france was next it is rather a dirty port i visited the chateau d if of monte cristo fame history means more as you see where events took place we arrived at malta at night here one can sense a feeling of preparedness through the darkness the authori ties are careful who lands there is a very strong guard over tho whole island on christmas morning with the temperature at 85 degrees we enter ed port said and the suez canal
