Do NOP
FORGE! THE BOYS,

With hopeful anxiety, we iewail
the result of the Fall Meetings
the General Board, and che Board
of Manazers of the W. M. 3. We
shall soon know what is tn stove for
our boys for anosher yeur. La the
meantime we keep the mutter to
the fore and trust,

At present their plight is pititble,
Owing to the nomadie habits of the
parents and friends ab certain sea-
sons they are deprived of mental
and moral training an d in the ma
jority of cases suffer physically,

We feel these boys are pare of the
common family of the ehureh; and
the missionaries who represeat tie
church naturally feel the measure of
responsibility keenly; did we not use
all means in our power to awaken
interest in the case we should be
culpabie of neglect,

Nhat we are unable at present to
render help distresses us, we are not
however despondent, because in some
way or other the Lord will provide,
“lor He by ways we have have not

Will lead His own,’ {known

GUN ACCIDENTS.

Several accidents have occurred
through the handling of shot guns
and rifles in eanoes and small boats
during the year,

We much regret to hear of the
death of stephen Gaiumptgwah, a
Kitkahtlah chief, accidentally shot
though the right arm and chest
while in his eanoe at a fishing
camp

He died at the hospital, Port Es-
sington, notwithstanding a great
effort to save him

Every ease of this kind is a wara.
ing, ‘Lhe greatest vare possible must
be exercised handling are arms, tn
canoes and also in the vilbage,

They should never be lett loaded
in the house, nor ured irom tie
public side wal
