There must be an enthusiastic devotion to the person of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the heart of every Christian, and then the Kingdom of God will be set up on earth. If your religion is true then do not be ashamed of it. Do not fear to be known as a Christian, do not hesitate "all relationships the Spirit of Jesus Christ

The defendants charged with being concerned in the thek of a motor-car from Irving Street were again before Mr. Orme, at the Magistracy, on Saturday. A difficulty in the case was that the owner had never seen the car and could not identify it. One of the defendants had volunteered to go to Canton and see if a car detained there by the police was the one required.
The owner, giving evidence, said he came into possession of the car, through a bill of sale. The engine number, quot- ed in the bill of safe was 97,595
