LONDON AMAZES SISTER AIMEE.
NOT WICKED BUT NEED FOR PROHIBITION.
Sister Almeo McPherson has fallen-for London. On the eve of her departure for Scotland, where- she opened her provincial tour with A mass meeting at Glasgow, she was full of enthusiastic praise for Lon- don and Londoners.
"What a city' she declared to a Daily Chronicle representative. "I have never seen anything like it. Look at your traffic.
"The way it is handled by the whitesleeved officers of London is the most perfect in the world."
Sister Aimce is "tickled to death" with her London meetings. "They were, on the average, far more en- thusiastic at the Albert Hall than they are at my own Templo at home," she said.
British. Blood.
"Even if I were not provided with funds for my provincial tour by the Four Square Gospel organisation in England I should have "enough from the collections to carry out my camnalen."
Mrs. McPherson-ale likes to be addressed personally as "Bister," by the way now claims that she is more British than-American.
"I was born in London, Ontario, and raised in Canada," aho declared, "I was taught 'God Save the King" at the same time as the Doxology; my mother's people are all of Eng- Hish descent and my father's were. of Scotch. So, you see, it's only by marriage that I am American." Sister Aimee does not consider London a wicked city-but she be- lieves it should have Prohibition.
The 130 telephone exchanges in the London area are to be converted to the automatic system, an official of the Post Offico stated recently. It fa contemplated that the work will occupy from fifteen to twenty years. Four automatic exchanges, Holborn. Bishopsgate, Sloane, and Bermondsey, already exist in: Lon- don, and two more, the Monument and the Western, will, it is expected; be opened before the end of the year, and probably the Welbeck also.
