"man with a message.’ Having decided that his life work was in pagan lands, he went to India where his wife died and his own health failed.

Coming home on furlough, he married again and went West.

He was ordained here in 1886. The services opened in Souris by Rev. J. A. Gordon were held in Morrow‘s Hall. Later a neat church edifice was built. This was opened in 1887 by Rev. A. A. McLeod. Services continued there for about twenty years when on account of re- movals and other causes they were discontinued and in 1911 the trustees were given power to sell the building. The money and labour given to this section were not wasted. Good work was done and quite a num-
