The passenger cars over there are different from ours. The benches are long enough to comfortably seat four persons. The center arm rests can be turned out of the way and at night time the long benches made into comfortable beds. The benches are facing each other, in pairs. All along one side of the car is the passage way and for each pair of benches, on each side of the car, there is a door thus permitting much quicker unloading and boarding of passengers. '-And in case of **fire or wreck the arrangements might be the means of saving of human lives. T The baggage holders are much more commodious. *• However, our passenger cars here have the safety couplings and center bumpers and are an improve ment over the antequated Eu-. ropean ones. Thanks to the ef forts of our illnstrous Georgian, Tom Watson. From the train I observed with much delight the ever changing scenery. From what I could see of Geneva all the houses there are biiilded of ibrick or stone, stuccoed and tinted with a yellow, buff, cream or pinkish color, giving a bright pinkish color. These bright colors might have much to do with giving Italy the name of "Sunny Italy." AJ1 roofs are covered with tile or slate.

Since we stoodum the brink of this festive oc casion one year ago our planet has carried us once around the great sun. In all that great journey the earth has never been away from the influence of the great transforming power of the radiant light. Likewise, we have gone a long journey in our moral and spirtual realm and during all that time we have never been out of reach of the great lov ing outstretched hand of the Christ whose coming into the world we celebrate, or desecrate, accord- to our conduct. We have no fixed or stated festival in which we celebrate the creation of the world and probably it is not intended that we should have, but we do celebrate the coming into the world of the Great Redeemer and rightly- so, because it cost so mpeh more to redeem the world than to create it. In the creation there was only the spoken words and a world came into existence but in the redemption. there was the shedding ' of blood together with all the pain, sorrow and trials that could be heaped upon human sus ceptibility to suffering. efi ,tion oi the as ■ & ^hristlaif 2ry oc- It has comipg o£ na$f&n »have iWanner;^^ iuaore like w#'"hSightr be to' ; -U -hearj- let us ceiebrati hn tMj^ca^ol^as vb&oinee r us iunuy> . |f .

Derrick has an nounced himself a candidate for the office of Mayor while it is generally understood that he will have opposition. Up to this time no one has asked to be Oiected to the office of Councilman, so far as we know. , There will be a mayor and five councilmen to be elected and they in turn will elect a clerk and chief of police. This yenrhas been one contin.- Uofts. round of elections but if it had hot been so there would have jbrim nothing for the poli- ticians to do.
