In order to correct certain false

conccttring the action of the directors
of the Union Gospel Mission in discon?
tinuing the service of Mr. C. E Wil?
son', as superintendent; we wtjsh to
state that the directors" action was
based on the fact that after thirty
days' trial of Mr. Wilson, they unani?

for that position. This decision was
passed wholly on Mr. Wilson's fitness
