TreaQEE Cancer For some months past ex-Councillor Mortson has been suffering from a growth on his lower lip, during which time he has endt-avored 'to draw it. out by means plasters made by a. member of the Boyer family in Markham; Finding that the part was be- coming, more troublesome all the time he convulled Dr. Hutchison who, assisted by Dr. Lsugalufi, performed an operelion on Friday last. About a square inch of the lower lip was removed which bore evidence of wlml is known as smolnng cancer. The operation was apparently successful, and n. is hoped there will be no ntnru. but this de- pends on whether any cancerous cells have invaded the tissues beyond the part re- moved. Mr. Mnrtsun's friends will be pleased to hear of his recovery in the near future. The High School building was burnei durian the Christmas holidays. This is We 18m of March, and there is practically nothing done relative to building. The Board of Educulion pasied a reeoluiion by which they. decided to rebuild on the old lot.

Miss Scur- borough sang a. solo with her usual good style. Misses S. Trench, Ethel Switzer and Jennie Wiley also pleased the audience with a trio. Reoitstions wore given by Miss Silverwood and Miss Birdie Elliott. Both acquitted themselves very credit-ably and were attentively listened to. A paper on “The pecu'iurities of Men" was read by Miss 'l‘rench. This was much applauded by the ladies. It painted man as the women see him.snd showed clearly that there was much room for improvement in him. Th!= ten minutes of. conversation and the relresh- ments were much enjoyed as well as every number on the programme. The whole sl~ fair was well arranged and successtully carried out.

Wilberforce Lee “We an excel- lent lecture in the Presbyterian Church, 'l‘horhhill, on Mission Work in Alrica Mr. lire has been sewn years n mlt-zlihlI-n‘y in Control Afriru, and during that time has travelled through a good part of the coun- try, and the story of his chutful experience- during these your! in that new country is Very inn-resting and instructive. For UVrr two hours he held the lurge audience spell- bound as he rvlntid one after another the lill'liilllg adventurr-a that are peculiar to the life of u missionary in the Dark Continent. He first spoke of the climate, which, on ac- count Hi the prevalence of fever,1s very hard on the constitution of the Whine man. He next described tue mode of. truvelling through the cuuntry. Travel has to he dune in the early part of the day as after twelve o'clock the limit is very intense and when night falls travel is dangerous because of wrld uninmls. There are no roads through the country as we have, Only foot paths through lilelhrglP. and the misslonury has to rme on the hack of a mule nl' ox, or carried in a kind of hammock suspended from the shoulders of two natives who will trot along (or two hours on a stretch up hill iind down dale carrying it heavy man who feeln quite oomfortahle as he is thus trans- ported. He next gave a description of the e'taillleliiug of mission statiom. The natives live in villages built of mud huts; one or t\Vu hundred of these huts compose a wiluue which is surrounded by a mud wall. A number of these Villages are built nenr each other and they form a community of summiines five thousand people ruled ova by a chief. The missionsrv pitches his camp near one of these villages and al‘ though at first the people are a little shy of him, after a time he gains their fsvur by showing that he has come to do them good. The missionary is always accompanied by Christin] natives who are sent on Sshbalh to tellthn people that the white man is to' speak “the Wont” They come and listen and in many instances profitably receive the truth as it Is in Christ Jesus. In con- clusion Mr. Lee spoke of the rzuod work that is being done by the Missionaries in that part of the world. Thgir labor is not in vain. There are. he said, amongst thsse dark colored Africans converts to Christ- ianity who are as faithful nnd self-~3crificing as you will find in any country: As an li~’ lustratiou of the faithfulness of some of thesein his own stttion he spoke of two lads who. after nightfall volunteered to go a journry of over thirty ,miles through lilt- jua gle to bring a doctor to Mrs. Lrt', who was i I. On their return nhtn oi}. red is present for their frithfui service, with tears in their eyes they rviused-to take it saying; “Mrs. Les had come is long way to givs‘ then) the knowledge 01 God and had sufirred much for 'hcirjny." At the close of the lecture Mr. Lee sang In the native dialect th‘i hymn “Art thou wesried, art thou lunguid." The lecrurer had a number- of photographs and curiosities Illustrative of lecture which were shown at the class of the lecture.
