The pieces were sent by an old schoolmate, Mrs. Breckin, a missionary at Chentu, China. Needlesn t<i say, Mrs. Perigoe prizes the gift very highly. At this season of year whenlari/e num- bers of <iubscriptions are being paid, •rrora are apt to creep into our mailing list, no matter how much caro is taken. The only way to got these rectified is for •verybody to examine tho label on their paper. It it reads " I Jan. '10 '' it means paid untiU Jan. 1910; "1 Jan, 11," would mean paid until 1 Jan. of next year, which, of course, is as it should be. Examine your label and see that it reads correctly. If it is wrong, notify us at once and the matter will be attended to. A yount; man living not more than three miles from Flesherton went to see his best girl iho other evening.
