Death, judgment, heaven and hell, formed the basis of Father Pat’s sermon lastevening. There are not many sunny days in human life; when life is ended @ man or woman can go before their maker and claim the benefit of the doubt. Society will not give it—the law cannot give it. We must take the ver- dict of the unforgiving world. Christ is the only forgiveness, and when we are in the presence of him who can forgive, there is a unity and feeling of undescribable joy. From the mortal’s point ot view they don’t think of anything but accamulat- ing money. A God like life depends for its comfort and happiness upon its com- munings witb Christ and doing his will. A life lived in ignoranceand darkness cannot be conducive to happiness. Walk- ing along the brink of precipices of ig- norance snd blackness the yawning chasm lures him on, and unless sus- tained by that mighty and unseen power he topples over and is lost. The light comes to you from above that leads you to a place of safety. ——— Rossland Literary Society.

The members os the Vitualer’s Assoc- lation are reguested to meet at the Grand Union hotels at 7:30 o’clock this evening. By order of Chris McDonnell, liable to inspect the most + | feasible route, then they could go to work intelligently. “People that have interesta along the route are symewhat over zealous, per- haps, and blind to the difficulties in the way. I have interests near Christina lake, and would iike to see a good road- way were it feasible. “Just for argument sake we will sup- pose that a snow road could be built. It ia now the middIs of December. Acom- ~ petent engineer would first hyve to over- lvok the ‘ground, and let me tell you it would .require a skilful one to devise ways for getting gtade over precipices. By the time the road would be built it would be getting on toward spring. A month’s traffic or two at the most would be all that could be gotten from the snow road. Then it would be useless. The money would have been spent in vain as not a particle of the work spent on the snow road would be of use in constructing a permanent road. “There are two feasible plans of reaching Cascade City. One is to reach the, mountain summit by baloon and - there construct parachute stations in order that the precipices may be de- scended by means of parachutes. Another good route is an air line route, with flying machines to carry passengers and freight.” —~—— AN IMPORTANT MEETING. Citizens Requested to Attend the Board of Trade’s Meeting Tonight.

Citizens are espec- ially requested to attend. —~ —— Surveys to Boundary. D. C. Corbin is pushing ahead his rail way surveys, and is preparing to make demands upon both the provincial and Domion governments, says the Midway advance. At present a survey of the Kettle river loop is being made, the en- gineers working near Cascade City. It was always Mr. Corbin's idea to make the Kettle river valley the main artery of travel as it were, and therefore, that |his engineers are now in the field bet- ween Cascade City and Careon, would tend to show that he still clings to the hope of being able to obtain a franchise, which would allow him to cross the in- ternational boundary line at Cascade City, and by traversing that portion of Kettle river, which is known as Grand Prairie, gain a point at which an easy re-entry into the Colville reservation could be made, thereby obviating the necessity of crossing over one or more ranges of hills, which he would be obli- ged to do, should he be compelled to ex- tend his railway system westward with- out being allowed the privilege of enter- ing Canadian territory. The Record is in receipt of « compli- mentary to the second aunual ball to be given at and by the Hotel Allan, on New Year’s eve, Dec. 31. 1t will no doubt be ® grand affair.
