The six main points are so interesting that they are worth quoting, fully:

1.The life of man is given by Heaven and is in the keeping of Heaven.

Foster Pegs, C.F., who was well-known to many in the Colony, and who only left here a little over a year ago. He will long be remem- bered as a keen and zealous churchman and as u preacher of considerable power and eloquence.

He did much work among the childron and used to have a children's service in the Cathedral every month. In the athletic world be was the winner of. the local golf championship and was well- known on to cricket field. He WES recently mentioned in despatches. May ho rest in peace.
