Stamp, in addition to the ordinary postage, must be affixed to each letter and post card mailed in Canada, for delivery in Canada, the United States, and Mexico; also on letters and post cards mailed in Canada for the United Kingdom and British possessions, or wherever the two-cent rate applies. === Failure on the part of the sender of a letter or post card to comply with the above, such letter or post card will be sent to the dead letter office. === Wherever possible and procurable, stamps on which the words "War Tax" have been printed should be used for prepayment of the "War Tax," but should ordinary postage stamps be used for the purpose they will be accepted. The "War Tax" Stamp should be affixed to the upper right-hand portion of envelope or post card. Circulars, catalogues, newspapers, and parcels are not subject to the "War Tax." === WAR STAMP TAX ON CHEQUES, SAVINGS DEPARTMENT RECEIPTS, BILLS OF EXCHANGE, PROMISSORY NOTES, ETC. === Cheques issued on Current Accounts. Receipts and Cheques issued on Savings Department Accounts. Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes delivered to a Bank must have a two-cent Stamp affixed when drawn for an amount of $100 or less and an additional two-cent stamp on every $100 or fractional part in excess of $100. The Issuer of a Cheque or Bank Receipt must affix the stamp before payment can be made. The person who delivers a Bill of Exchange or Promissory Note to a bank must affix a stamp before delivery. Telegrams and Cables. A "War Tax" of one-cent is to be paid on all Telegrams or Cables. Express and Money Orders. A "War Tax" of two-cents is to be paid on all Express and Money Orders. Postal Notes. A "War Tax" of one-cent is to be paid on all Postal Notes. Stock Transfers. A stamp tax of two-cents must be paid on each share of stock transferred. The Special War Revenue Act also covers Railway, Steamship and Ocean Tickets; Sleeping Car and Parlor Car Tckets; Proprietary or Patent Medicines; Perfumes and Wines. As the Tax on the above list varies, according to the amount involved it is impossible for us to print the clause in detail. All items mentioned are, however, subject to a tax and the purchaser is liable for same. === Rules for Computing Interest === The following will be found to be excellent rules for finding the interest on any principal for any number of day : 2% - Multiply the prinicpal by the number of days to run, and divide by 180. 2 1/2% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 146. 3% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 120. 3 1/2% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 104. 4% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 90. 5% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 72. 6% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 60. 7% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 52. 8% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 45. 9% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 40. 10% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 36. 12% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 30. 15% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 24. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/86959ebceb4af2be7a9bb43dba80cee2.pdf 0d828216de3b9667e5a9770f7288d292 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

New Congregational Church On Wednesday morning the opening services of thiis new and really splendid edifice commenced with a sermon by the Rev. F. Marling, of Toronto. The Rev. Dr Wilker was to have officeated, but on reaching Toronto he was compelled to return to Montreal in consequence of learning of the death of one of the deacons of his church. The Rev. Mr Clarke gave a statement of the receipts, expenditure and liabilities of the building <s>find </s> fund, showing that after the completion of the whole work a debt of about $2,000 only would be left. In the afternoon a splendid collation was served up in the basement of the church, the attendance at which was very large and the whole proceedings highly gratifying. From the spirit manifested by the friends of the cause it is very evident that in a very short time the <s>establiishment</s> church stewards will be able to report the establishment free of debt. In the evening the Rev. Mr Manley (should this be Marling?) of Toronto preached to an overcrowded and attentive audience.

Honan, Jan. 17. - Words fail one to make plain to the home friends what this famine really means. It is doubtful whether there has ever been a famine when so many souls were involved. The estimates have varied from thirty to forty millions. Even taking the lower figure, it means four times the population of Canada, helpless and starving apart from outside aid. In 1887 a terrible famine occurred in the province of Shantung when it is said 70 percent. of the people died. While we now have greater facilities for reaching the people, yet the area is vastly greater, and rober bands, scouring many parts of the affected region, increase tremendously the difficulties of relief work. At a recent Famine Relief Conference Dr. P. C. Leslie, the Treasurer for famine funds. "In a hush that could be felt," stated, "there is no human possibility in sight to carry the worst sufferers straight through." And at the Pekin Famine Conference it was clearly stated that, "Unless money continued to flow in till next May, the sufferings of millions would but be prolonged in vain." "So many thanks for your letter with enclosed cheque, I hope that you will remember us in prayer, for it is really heart-rending to hear about the sufferings of the poor people. We have had a long spell of bitterly cold weather and much snow ... so many people have died from starvation and cold ... Two Christian women came to-day, one nearly blind and the other with a three-year-old boy whose feet were badly frost-bitten, and a small baby. One of our Christian men had carried the boy and helped the blind women; the younger one carrying the baby. They had tramped in the bitter cold and snow over thirty-three miles to get to us, and would have all died of starvation had they remained at home." "How can I express my joy, when I received your letter. This afternoon I had prayed to God for help, and my prayer was: "Father you know all about us. If it pleases Thee, wilt Thou this day send a proof that we are not forgotten." And in the afternoon your letter and cheque came. Thank you and thank you, and again I thank you. This has greatly strengthened my faith ... The people have got nothing and many starve to death. I have two litlte five months' old babies in my room and two about five or six years old. The Chinese woman who helps to look after these</td> <td> children sleeps on my bed. My co-worker has three of the older girls sleeping on her floor. ... We do feel so happy to do this, so as to make room for as many as possible." "Many thanks for your letter with enclosed cheque. I was greatly distressed about all these women and girls. Only a little over a month since the famine became acute. All our resources were gone. There could be no thought of sending the children back to their homes where they could get nothing to eat, so we just cried to the Lord, and then your letter and cheque came." "This money has come just at an opportune time. Three young men had been in from the Neichin district, appealing to me for help for their village, which had cmoe absolutely to the end of their food supplies. I had told them that I could not help them, but they ahd not left when your welcome letters arrived bringing four cheques' so I was able to give these men millet to take home. Those last twelve days the distress has becoem much intensified on account of the heavy snwo and the intense cold following and numbers who have existed till now are dying off in quantities." "In one of our districts it is said that eight out of ten of the women are without protection. Robbers are already carring off some of the young women to sell them. Their husbands have either died of the cholera when it was raging in September, or they have gone off with the robbers, or have simply gone to seek food and work and left their famillies to starve. Fairs are held, not for the carrying on of business (for there is none), but for the sale of young children and older girls." "School children and indeed all of us pray with new meaning and nowadays. 'Lord give us this day our daily bread,' Truly we need the joy of the Lord these days, or we could not keep on. Yesterday it was pitiful to see two old men both over seventy, simply crawl into the main courtyard and cry for help - literally starving by inches. At a station not far from us, eight corpses were found on the slow train of famine refugees who had died en route from the cold." But enough! Surely these are sufficient to give us some idea of the awfulness of the situation. It would be well for us to remember, too, that all missionaries working or living in close proximity to the famine sufferers are in real peril, and need our speical support by prayer. Famine fever is very deadly and is sure to become prevalent when the weather becomes warmer. Already we are hearing of epidemics breaking out among the people. Shall not we who are spared these sights and the hardships and dangers of relief work, do all in our power to uphold our brethren and sisters, both foreign and Chinese, who are now carrying on this lifesaving work, both by sending the wherewithal to carry on this work and by upholding them by prayer. There is just one bright glitn that may be given in this dark picture. Already we see that good has come out of this calamity. The very highest Chinese officials of teh land are seeking help of the Christian missionaries and working with them could not be a better proof given of teh sincerity and loving purpose of the missionaries than just this famine relief wokr. There is no doubt at all but that a very wid edoor into the hearts of the Chinese people will be opened as a result of this terrible famine; for Chinese people all over the country, high and low, know how missionaries are spending without stint, strength, and money to save their people.</td> </tr> <table> https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f38c58290eeac0a0366e0874f699a85b.pdf 3c7b126b6e8871986d92e5153f5eb4de Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. {BLANK PAGE} https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/062cdc1a54460e3e9fa6906b845214b2.pdf f2a0f323984d95ec050ceb0b951d4b1c Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. {BACK COVER BROWN} Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Stamp, in addition to the ordinary postage, must be affixed to each letter and post card mailed in Canada, for delivery in Canada, the United States, and Mexico; also on letters and post cards mailed in Canada for the United Kingdom and British possessions, or wherever the two-cent rate applies.</p> <h3><span></span><span class="mw-headline">Failure on the part of the sender of a letter or post card to comply with the above, such letter or post card will be sent to the dead letter office.</span></h3> <p>Wherever possible and procurable, stamps on which the words "War Tax" have been printed should be used for prepayment of the "War Tax," but should ordinary postage stamps be used for the purpose they will be accepted.</p> <p>The "War Tax" Stamp should be affixed to the upper right-hand portion of envelope or post card. Circulars, catalogues, newspapers, and parcels are not subject to the "War Tax."</p> <h3><span></span><span class="mw-headline">WAR STAMP TAX ON CHEQUES, SAVINGS DEPARTMENT RECEIPTS, BILLS OF EXCHANGE, PROMISSORY NOTES, ETC.</span></h3> <p>Cheques issued on Current Accounts.</p> <p>Receipts and Cheques issued on Savings Department Accounts.</p> <p>Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes delivered to a Bank must have a two-cent Stamp affixed when drawn for an amount of $100 or less and an additional two-cent stamp on every $100 or fractional part in excess of $100.</p> <p>The Issuer of a Cheque or Bank Receipt must affix the stamp before payment can be made.</p> <p>The person who delivers a Bill of Exchange or Promissory Note to a bank must affix a stamp before delivery.</p> <p>Telegrams and Cables. A "War Tax" of one-cent is to be paid on all Telegrams or Cables.</p> <p>Express and Money Orders. A "War Tax" of two-cents is to be paid on all Express and Money Orders.</p> <p>Postal Notes. A "War Tax" of one-cent is to be paid on all Postal Notes.</p> <p>Stock Transfers. A stamp tax of two-cents must be paid on each share of stock transferred.</p> <p>The Special War Revenue Act also covers Railway, Steamship and Ocean Tickets; Sleeping Car and Parlor Car Tckets; Proprietary or Patent Medicines; Perfumes and Wines.</p> <p>As the Tax on the above list varies, according to the amount involved it is impossible for us to print the clause in detail. All items mentioned are, however, subject to a tax and the purchaser is liable for same.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline">Rules for Computing Interest</span></h3> <p>The following will be found to be excellent rules for finding the interest on any principal for any number of day :</p> <p>2% - Multiply the prinicpal by the number of days to run, and divide by 180.</p> <p>2 1/2% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 146.</p> <p>3% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 120.</p> <p>3 1/2% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 104.</p> <p>4% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 90.</p> <p>5% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 72.</p> <p>6% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 60.</p> <p>7% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 52.</p> <p>8% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 45.</p> <p>9% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 40.</p> <p>10% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 36.</p> <p>12% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 30.</p> <p>15% - Multiply by number of days, divide by 24.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>John Peirson from Robert</p> <p>DAILY JOURNAL</p> <p>1921</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>MEMORANDUM FROM 1920</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>MEMORANDUM FROM 1920</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <h2><span></span><span class="mw-headline">JANUARY New Year's Day (Dominion) SATURDAY 1 (1-364) 1921</span></h2> <p>Made a poor start this year am used up with a bad cold or sick Have been the house all day thawing to day {Willie, Cassie &amp; Rob?} are gone up to {Arch Mcleans?} {Written by John.

Honan, Jan. 17. - Words fail one to make plain to the home friends what this famine really means. It is doubtful whether there has ever been a famine when so many souls were involved. The estimates have varied from thirty to forty millions. Even taking the lower figure, it means four times the population of Canada, helpless and starving apart from outside aid. In 1887 a terrible famine occurred in the province of Shantung when it is said 70 percent. of the people died. While we now have greater facilities for reaching the people, yet the area is vastly greater, and rober bands, scouring many parts of the affected region, increase tremendously the difficulties of relief work. At a recent Famine Relief Conference Dr. P. C. Leslie, the Treasurer for famine funds. "In a hush that could be felt," stated, "there is no human possibility in sight to carry the worst sufferers straight through." And at the Pekin Famine Conference it was clearly stated that, "Unless money continued to flow in till next May, the sufferings of millions would but be prolonged in vain."</p> <p>"So many thanks for your letter with enclosed cheque, I hope that you will remember us in prayer, for it is really heart-rending to hear about the sufferings of the poor people. We have had a long spell of bitterly cold weather and much snow ... so many people have died from starvation and cold ... Two Christian women came to-day, one nearly blind and the other with a three-year-old boy whose feet were badly frost-bitten, and a small baby. One of our Christian men had carried the boy and helped the blind women; the younger one carrying the baby. They had tramped in the bitter cold and snow over thirty-three miles to get to us, and would have all died of starvation had they remained at home."</p> "How can I express my joy, when I received your letter. This afternoon I had prayed to God for help, and my prayer was: "Father you know all about us. If it pleases Thee, wilt Thou this day send a proof that we are not forgotten." And in the afternoon your letter and cheque came. Thank you and thank you, and again I thank you. This has greatly strengthened my faith ... The people have got nothing and many starve to death. I have two litlte five months' old babies in my room and two about five or six years old. The Chinese woman who helps to look after these</td> <td> <p>children sleeps on my bed. My co-worker has three of the older girls sleeping on her floor. ... We do feel so happy to do this, so as to make room for as many as possible."</p> <p>"Many thanks for your letter with enclosed cheque. I was greatly distressed about all these women and girls. Only a little over a month since the famine became acute. All our resources were gone. There could be no thought of sending the children back to their homes where they could get nothing to eat, so we just cried to the Lord, and then your letter and cheque came."</p> <p>"This money has come just at an opportune time. Three young men had been in from the Neichin district, appealing to me for help for their village, which had cmoe absolutely to the end of their food supplies. I had told them that I could not help them, but they ahd not left when your welcome letters arrived bringing four cheques' so I was able to give these men millet to take home. Those last twelve days the distress has becoem much intensified on account of the heavy snwo and the intense cold following and numbers who have existed till now are dying off in quantities."</p> <p>"In one of our districts it is said that eight out of ten of the women are without protection. Robbers are already carring off some of the young women to sell them. Their husbands have either died of the cholera when it was raging in September, or they have gone off with the robbers, or have simply gone to seek food and work and left their famillies to starve. Fairs are held, not for the carrying on of business (for there is none), but for the sale of young children and older girls."</p> <p>"School children and indeed all of us pray with new meaning and nowadays. 'Lord give us this day our daily bread,' Truly we need the joy of the Lord these days, or we could not keep on. Yesterday it was pitiful to see two old men both over seventy, simply crawl into the main courtyard and cry for help - literally starving by inches. At a station not far from us, eight corpses were found on the slow train of famine refugees who had died en route from the cold."</p> <p>But enough! Surely these are sufficient to give us some idea of the awfulness of the situation. It would be well for us to remember, too, that all missionaries working or living in close proximity to the famine sufferers are in real peril, and need our speical support by prayer. Famine fever is very deadly and is sure to become prevalent when the weather becomes warmer. Already we are hearing of epidemics breaking out among the people. Shall not we who are spared these sights and the hardships and dangers of relief work, do all in our power to uphold our brethren and sisters, both foreign and Chinese, who are now carrying on this lifesaving work, both by sending the wherewithal to carry on this work and by upholding them by prayer.</p> There is just one bright glitn that may be given in this dark picture. Already we see that good has come out of this calamity. The very highest Chinese officials of teh land are seeking help of the Christian missionaries and working with them could not be a better proof given of teh sincerity and loving purpose of the missionaries than just this famine relief wokr. There is no doubt at all but that a very wid edoor into the hearts of the Chinese people will be opened as a result of this terrible famine; for Chinese people all over the country, high and low, know how missionaries are spending without stint, strength, and money to save their people.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>{BLANK PAGE}</p> </div> <div
