making arrangements for a spe-

A committee from the society

contract for clearing the right-

which will convey the ore from

on this has already been started.

drew’s church, delivered before a

ter In an earnest manner, the

new minister spoke of the chal-
ge there was to every Chris-
in to do the Lord's work in
that part of the city. Was it
richt, he asked, that the souls of
the young men and women In
this section should lost, and
were they ready to clasp hands
with him in that work? He e
phasized the important field f
the » work, What virtue was}

and Japanese were t gathered |
into the churehes here for in-|
struction? What is home mis-|
sion work if the waterfront work- |
ers, the residents in lodging}
houses and in all manner of|
places in the city had not the |
gospel brought to them? As the |

largest congregatio nin the city,

St. Andrew's had a large work to|
do. If there was corruption in}
the city, the church was con-
cerned about it; if there was not
everything clean in sport, in all
forms of recreation, in social |
life, there was work for this
church to do. He asked the sn
gregation if in this they were |
prepared to stand behind him.}
Referring to his Prince Rupert}

ministry, he said that he had left}
a congregation where there was
harmony and working |
together, equal to any congrega- |
tio nin the west. He answered
the call to New Westminster, for
he had felt that there was special

earnest

work to be done here. The con-
clusion of a sermon which re-
vealed the new minister's in-
tense earnestness and zeal for}
social - religious work, was a|
prayer for deep harmony to. be}
shown here in all religious and|
social betterment work, which, |
he reminded his attentive hear- |
ers, always exists when men}
work with an eye single to the]
glory of God. |

At the evening service, Mr. |
Kerr's theme was evangelical, |
and there was a large congrega-
tion, fully appreciative of his
heart-gripping message.

Monday night there was a r¢
ception to Mr. and Mrs. Kerr ir
the lecture room of St. Andrew's
ehurch.

Furs Plentiful but Cheap

The British Columbia trappers
made splendid catches of fur
early in the season and antici-
pated a good winter’s work. The
spring reperts ,are not in yet,

but it is thought some big packs

will be brought to market. Since
last year practically all raw
furs have declined from 20 to 40
per cent, and a further drop is
expected after the March sale in
London There will be no im-
provement in price until next
winter, at least.
