Buswell’s pastoral work was his Bible teach- ing. Inone parish he conducted three large Bible classes every week, and the church was a center of great activity., During his pastorates other churches made frequent calls upon him for his services and finally he was led to devote hisentire time to evangelistic work. For the past five years he has been associated with Rey. Dr. Chap- man in his great simultaneous cam- paigns in cities all over this land.

Its activities are many and varied and that Rev, Buswelll, a Pres- byterian minister, should be invited to minister to them in the absence of their pastor, speaks well of Rev. Buswell, and of the church that calls the man because of his qualification irrespective of his denominaion. Rev.

WHITE OFFICERS SUPERSEDED Japanese in Charge of Japanese Transpacific Liners. - Seattle, Wash., May 11.—The super- seding of white ‘officers by Japanese on the Japanese transpacific liners— ‘the officers being removed one by one, generally at this end of the Tun—is said to be due to pressure of Japanese public opinion, which demands the manning of Japanese vessels entirely by Japanese. The companies would like to retain white captains and chief engineers, but even this is impossible. Each month sees fewer white officers ‘on the Japanese liners that arrive on Puget sound.
