Prayers ’were offered by Revercnds Wil- liam Biison and C. A. Brittain. ' Dr. McL-aurin, the son of a medical man, was born in India and came tn Canada when ten years of age. After graduating n1 arts and theology he went to In- dis ea a missionary in i909. He was an excellent linguist and in fine command of the Telegu/lsn- guages and his understanding of the Indian people made him a leader not only in the Baptist mission but throughout the South Indian Christian community. As a result of the service rendered n‘ India he was asked to accept the position of general secretary of the Canadian Baptist Foreign Mission Board in, i989. "but year Dr. Memurin made a tour of Baptist mission~ fields in Indih and China , - I-Iis lecture "Our New Task In The New Indie.” was illustrated with moving pictures _in techni- color which were taken on his re- cent visit to Indie.

Participation in s “broom bail" gems at Rookfand skating rink. Rockiand ia s email town in tin. Oountyof Russell. about a mild, horn Ottawa. The game was be- tween s team. from the "Little Ohiclm" section of the govern- ment side of the House of com- rnonle and the rest of the Liberal members.‘ Ono Cabinet minister. thO Hon. Colin Gibson, Secretary of Bteteftook put in the gamg, One member, James Sinclair, re- ceived an iniufl to his‘ shoulder that is still. causing him much dis- comfort. Ier those who have never seen a game of broom bail I can explain that it is played in a hockey rink with the hockey nets as goals. Etch player is provided with a broom. end s bsll about the size o! a basket bell is used. The goal keepers are allowed to weer cleats on their shoes but the rest of the members must rely on their rub- bers or overshoes to keep them from failing. The purpose. 0|. course, is b0 lmock the ball into the opposing not. After the game the member for the constituency of Russell gave a banquet in tho ‘players and some of the local dignitaries. The mem- ber for Russell, Omer Gour, is a brother of the member from Cha- plcau; P. Q, David Cour. They are the only brothers in the House o! Commons. The speeches after the banquet number thirty-eight. I suppose that this constitutes some sort of a record. The chairman called on all the members of Parliament. the Mayor and the Town Councillors. the mayors of the surrounding dis- tricts, the representative of “Time" and his opponent in the last elec- tion. This town shows a fine ex- ample of tolerance. Over ninety per cent of the population are French-speaking Catholics, yet the mayor is an English-speaking Pro- testant. '1 John MacNicol, member for Dav- enport (Torontoi is receiving muci- adverse criticism for talking out lklouard Rinfrets’ bill to permit the Bell Telephone Company to increase its capital stock. Private bills come before the House once a weak and then only for one hour The time is between eight and nine on Friday evening. Mr, Mac- Nicol took his full forty minutes and thus had a few minutes to spare when nine o'clock arrived and the House resumed its form- er business. The Montreal Gaz- ette, one of the leading Conserva- tive papers in Canada, was quilt’ caustic editorially in its reference to this "talking out" episode. i think that the explanation was that Mr. lVlBCNlKOl was making sure that the bill would not pass that night so that one of lilo friends who was absent could have an opportunity to speak on the bill. I am sure that some such reason is the correct one because Mr. MacNicol is one of the fairest members in the House of_Com- mons and the bill contained notn- ing to which he could possibly object. The I-Iong Kong inquiry l! V" subject matter of many questions of privilege these days. I think that the Prime Minister has gone ss far as he can go in this matter and still keep faith with the British Government. At the Hung Kong inquiry certain secret despatches were made available to the Commissioner and counsel on the understanding that the con- tents thereof would be kept secret. Many demands have been made in Parliament that the evidence should betablcd in, the House of Commons. but the Prime Minister has always refused on the ground that the tabling of the evidence would be breaking the promise to the British Government that the secret despatdi-lea would not be made public. Recently, however. the British Government has con- sented to the tabling of the evi- dence, but insists that the doe patches must be paraphrased _eo that the secret-cipher may not be decloeed. Thll seems reason- able and should satisfy everyone. Last Wednesday in the debate in reply to the Bpeech from the Throne, John Sinnott, Liberal member from Springfield. Mani- toba, issued the following inivta- tion to the Leader of the Opposi- tievn. Mr. Bracken: "I notice by the ‘Financial Post" that the leader of the ,osition (Mr. Bracken) has agreed to act as s iudge in a nation-wide baby contest. I hereby "invite the lead- er of the opposition to come to the agricultural fair to be held this fell st Beausejour where the babies are bound to be healthy and beautiful.
