Since you have occupied the position we felt that our League had solid rock on which to place her feet. “7e know that sometimes you have had discour- agements, yet trusting in God you have. been successful to the. last. know- ing that “ all things work together for good to them that love God.” \‘Vheu it was announced that you hzld resign- ed your position as President, a gloom was cast over us as a. League, but we considered you had done your work faithfully and that it was God’s pur- pose to call you to duty in another vineyard. Another way of expressing our regret we ask you to accept this “ Album " as a slight token of our es- teem towards you and when you leave us may you take it with you and keep it in remembrance of the young people and Epworth League of Temperance- \'ille.

The war news during the last few days seems to be more favorable to the British soldiers. General French has taken possession of Colesburg after an encounter with the Boers, and he will make a desperate effort to hold the position he has gained. The British casualties in the engage- ment were, three killed and a few injured. ‘ A week or two ago the Newmarket Era told its readers that a motion had been made at Osgoode Hall to quash a by-law relating to a bonus to the Schomberg and Aurora Electric Railway, but said that “up to the hour of going to press last evenianr we had not learned the result.” What puzzles us is to know how The Era, a weekly paper, could speak of going to press “last evening.” We thought there might be tricks in all trades but the printer’s, but judging "from the above even the printers are not excepted. ‘Despatches published yesterday show that part of the Canadian con- tingent have already had a battle ‘with the Boers in South Africa. The Canadians, some of whom belonged to C Company, Toronto, were under command of Colonel Pilcher, drove ‘the enemy from a strong position and scored a brilliant success. The en- gagement took place near Belmont where the Boers were entrenched. The movement involved a march of ’twenty miles between noon and sunâ€" set on Sunday, and the engagement took place on New Year‘s Day. The Boer laager was captured, several of the enemy killed, and forty prisoners ftaken. Word comes that the Can- iadians stood the galling tire with ad- mirable patience and never wasted a shot. The colonials were expected to do good work in the campaign if an opportunity presented itself, and their first engagement shoWs them to be made of the right material for ‘ soldiers. RICHMOND HILL.
