 ian Knowledge are about to publish ' Readings 

 from the Holy Scriptures,' which consist of 

 Genesis i-ni, and selected portions of the four

 cension, I expect to remain in England long

 dians." j 



Tims (J. W. ) — Continued. 



Rev. John "William Tims was born in Ox- 

 ford, Eng., in 1857, and resided there until 

 twenty-one years of age, when he offered his 

 services to the Church Missionary Society, which 

 were accepted. He passed through the society's 

 college at Islington, was ordained deacon in 

 1883, and at once appointed to commence the 

 mission among the Blackfeet proper. His pres- 

 ent station is at Blackfoot crossing on the Ca- 

 nadian Pacific railway, in the province of Al- 

 berta and the diocese of Calgary. He has 

 given special attention to the language of that 

 people.
