Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-

"The system of Travolters Cheques was originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form. a travel currency which would give the holder the security of a letter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade

of

EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' 'AMERICAN the world "Travellers' being spelled with ona "L" The advantage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the ayatom."

Edinburgh, Nov. 21. The negotiations for the reunion of the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church, which has gone on for twenty years, were lo- duy advanced a momentous stage; which makes union a practical cor- tainly next year.

Adjourned meetings of the Gen- eral Assemblies of the two Church- 03 were held in Edinburgh, at which the basis of a plan of union, as finally adjusted in the light of suggestions and amendments re ceived from the Presbyteries of the Church during the past few

submitted and months, was

up- proved. There Was

over whelming majority of several hun- dreds in each Assembly in favour of sending the basis and plan of union back to the Presbyteries for neceptance or rejection, ་་

an

Assuming acceptance by the Presbyteries, the Assemblies next May will fix the date for the formal act of union.

This is expected to take place in Oétober, in the presence of the King and Queen, in the Church of Senland Assembly."

The Ret. Dr. John White (Glas Row) said that the marvellous un naimity on fundamental faels ren- ilered it impossible for thein to de- tay a single moment longer. One of the first duties of the United Church would be to map the country intu ecclesiastical districts for bringing the Gospel to the doors of the entire population.

EXPLOSION.

A V.C.'s action against a fim pro- ducer following injuries received while re-enacting for film purposes the exploit for which he gained the coveted award was heard before Mr. Justice Horridge and a special jury in the King's Bench Divaton recently.

Mr. J.D. Cassels, K.C.. for Mr. Keysor, said his client won the V.C. for picking up live bombs and throwing them out of a trench. When he returned to England his V.C. was stolen by thieves, who subsequently returned it in an unstamped envelope.
