Rey. W. McDonagh is announced to
take.part in a tea meeting at Auburn,
next Monday evening. '
The annual meeting for the election of
Officers for the Bible Ohristain Sabbath
School, will be held next Monday evening.
The special services are still being eon-
.
tieued in the Clinton„ Methodist Church,
a lively and, earnest interest being.mani-
rested theeein.
IREy- Mat,,,3,,T,Bilan., of Peieley '(leo
ther of Mr P Straith of thir town) has
given his position there and- intends
to take a short respite from active labor.
In the course of his sermon on Sunday,
,
Rev. -Mr. Craig made reference to •the
.death of Mr. Whittington and Mr. Apple -
y,. as showing the shortness of time and
'uncertainty of' life.
Rev. J. E. Bowers, a minister of the
New Jerusalem Church, lectured to -a fair
audience in the Temperance Hall, on Sun-
day, on " The bible, its inspiraton, divin-
ity and defence against skepticism."
WE believe that it is the intention of
the Methodist church choir, to go out
serenading on the night of Christmas,
(Monday) and of the Willis Church Choir
to start out about 1 a. m. the sante day.
Rev. Mr: •McLean, ef Blyth, conducted
the Friday and:Saturday services
Church, and. ihe Sabbath eervicee -were
taken byoRev. Mr. Steel -hitt; insthe morn-
ing and Rev. Mr. Gray in the eveiting,
Mr. Stewait preaching in the Baptist
church.
Speaking of Church Union; a, well in-
formed gentleman in this place, the other
day remarked, -"you are safe in stating
that a majority of the member e of the B.
O. Church here will go against it, While
the Methodists will be in favor of it," arid
this opinion Prevails with a nuaiber.
In connection with the anniversary -ser-
vices of the Bible Christian Church, Bey.
Mr. Stewart will preach on the morning
of Sunday, 31st inst., and Rev. Mr. Mc-
Donagh, in the evening. Particulars is
reference to the tea meeting on the follow-
ing Monday, will be given in a future
issue.
Tint entertainment given by Mr. W. H.
Illeeke,profe.ssor of elocution, in St. Paul's
school house, on last Wednesday evening,
was a, great success as regards attendance.
the recitations and pleasure of the audi-
ence: Mr. 3leeke's abilitiea as an elocu-
tionist are by no means oversrated. When-
ever you find him either in " giave or gay,
lively or severe" you forget the -Elocution-
ist in the character he iu representing
this was especially noticeable is the recite
ine of "The Raven," mid the humorous
piece "tJrs. 13ean's Courtship. Mr.
Meeke will be sure of'a larger house the
next time he vieits Clinton,
THE - A,N,,,,,a;AE, missionary meetings in
connection with the Methodist chute:An of
this editee, were held an Sunday and .Mon-
day latit. Ort Sunday Rev. Mr. Wakefield,
of Goderich, preached two able sermons;.
this was the first occasion on which he
had preached to a Clinton congregation,
ancl, those who heard him express the hope
it will not be his last. His delivery is
clear and-oatural, free from the'affectatiori
common ivith many ministers, while his
remarks were thoughtful and inspieing."
On'Mond aY evening a public meeting was
held, therebeing a good attendance. Mr.
S. Walsh was -called to the chair, (a posi-
tion be always fills with credit) and briefly
addressed the congregation. Rev. gr.
McDonagh then . read a report of mission
worke giving his hearers some idea of
what was being accomplished by the Me-
thodist Church in this respect. Revs.
Messrs. Clappison, Wakefield, and Rice,
of the B.C. Church, followed in admirable
ancl timely addressese---The-choie-of- the
church sang a number- af pieces during
the service, which materially added to the
pleasnie thereof. The total amount sub-
scribed and the collections on behalf of
rnisSions amounted to the sum_of$_2_80.36,
Which, it is expected will be still further
increased by subscription.

As the result Of a god deal of study I

bleesed with a superabundance ef good
-looks, nut what -hey lack in this respect
they makeup ire general Utility and use-

The bell watched the proceedings of

ineffable sympathy. Never before did it

C. A. D. S. ENTERTAINMENL—This so-
ciety made their first appearance upon
the stage- on Tuesday evening. The boys
have shown a lerge -amount ofenergy and
taste in securing a quantity of very good
scenery. The public career of the society
was. commenced by --a -representation-of-
" Claude Liarnand," and succeeded in
making it very creditable show. Mr. J.
Jackson, in the role of "Claude 1)arnand,"
prolied, in his conception of the character,
to be possessed of dramatic ability. Mr.
J. Cook, in Adolphe De Briancourt, would
have done better if he lead displayed a ,
little more dash, but of course it,is diffi-
cult for an amateur to display the spirit
of the anxious lover. Miss Hattie Lane,
as Victorine, while being a little nervous,
yet showed to advantage her clear and
distinct voice, and in the robber scene
carried the -audienee with her in her ar-
tistic discharge other pistols. Mr. Ed.
Racey, in the character of Siinou
deserves to be especially mentioned;'and
astonished the audienee by his amusing
representatioif of the character,and:elicited
deafening applauee whenever he appeared
on the stage. Taken on the whole, the
boys may feel flattered with th'eir success,
seeing that it is the first attempt, and they -
had not the assistance of an instructor.
The entertaipinent cencluded with the
performance of the comic farce entitled
" Phoolish Izak," in which the various
parties sustained their Characters very -
well. The audience was not very large,
but'' -it wa's noticeable that- the greater
nitenber took reserved' seats. -The receipts
amounted to -about $40. "
