is encircled by those who come to lay
there a wreath in memory of some
loved one, or simply to look upon
the (lowers and to think of the dead.
Tears came 'to my eyes as I saw
these offerings. On one wreath was
written, "In memory of Arthur," and
on another, "In memory or our dear
Daddy." There In the midst of the
throngs that pass through Whitehall
street, one may look into England's
heart, a heart of sorrow.
Except in Austria and in the devastated
areas of France, 'Europe nowhere
exhibits thfc marks of war so
plainly as in old England- And yet
one feels all the wlille that, in this
land, there is a foundation of character
which will not fail. As our
train sped on its way the last afternoon
of our stay, a brilliant rainbow
sbenned the sky. Perhaps,--HJte the

Fire Burning for Centuries.
/ A burning ridge of bituminous'Coal
.and shale almost in the rim of the
Arctic circle is known as "Hell's
' fires/^ These fp^a are said to have
been burning foT'fcihturles; in fact,
the first "alarm" was turned in by
Alexander Mackensie, noted explorer
of Canada's vast northern stretches,
in the year 1780. In a quaint book
entitled "Voyages Through North
v America to the Frozen and Pacific
Oceans" he describes briefly the
burning banks of the Tiver that
hears his name. His party had noticed
the "sulphurous smells" when
going down the river. Returning
.when "14 days from the last camp,"
hi landed and found "a burning seam
of coal which had been on fire for
many years."
The Canadian Geological survey, in
a report recently issued, explains
that the flrea are due to spontaneous
combustion of bituminous material in
a stratum of shale which has a thickness
of 500 to 1,000 feet. In some places
there are red cliffs of burnt
shale 100 to 200 feet high.

a. total net increase of members for
the year of 4,440, the total number
added ^ being 7,902. Thia. gives the
conference a total church- membership
of 67,575.
