1 t-o0AL CHURCH CHIMES
IMr. Pickard will tireach hi the Ontario
St. Methodist church, on Sunday morning.
On the 21st inst. Rev. Ur. Gee, of Bay-
field circuit, and Rev. Mr. Kenner ex-
change pulpits.
As Ilev.Mr. Craig preaches in Seaforth
next Sunday, it is expected that a student
who has been supplying there will fili his
pulpit here,
The Rattenbuly Street Church Gospel
Band may be, expected at Turner's ap-
pointment, on -Tuesday night next, in con-
nectioa with the revival work there.
It is expected that Arr. Alex. Birks, of
Holmesville, will take the place of Arr.
Kennedy, who had to leave on account of
ill health, and cootinue to perfornt. the
latter's work on llohnesville circuit.
A grand Service of Song, entitled "der
Benny" will be given in the Rattenbury
St. Methodist Church, Clinton, on Friday,
261.1 inst. Admission 20 cents, children
10 eents ,1 tickets to be had evonyhere..
This is something totally neiv. The Rev,'
Arr. Salton owns the only copies. iii Cana-
da of this Service ot Song, .i These novel,
ties have had unbounded tareeess in Eng-
land., and are deatinea, we believe, to have
the same in this country.
.A "deputation representing the Baptist
• church, Wingham., waited on Rev. John
Gray it few ddys since, and asked his ac-
ceptance of a call from that place. He
gave them no encouragement, and inti-
mated that he would remain liere.• We „
are sure that many more than the mein-
bers itf his own congregations here would
deeply regret his removal from amongst •
us. lin IS too useful a member of the
community to he spared.
Tho Salvation Army, which has conte
to continge the work begun by the "Lord's
, Army," commenced services here on -Sum -
day morninglast, tinder the management
'of three young Englishwomen, starting
on the market square. Their service in
the town half in the evening drew the
largest crowd that has, yet attempted to ,
. get into that building. 1sTotwithstanding
the heAt, everrineh of room was occu-
•Pie4i and &great many left because they
could not get in. The services are being
continued nightly, with varying success. •
During thequarter endiiig Aug. 81 the
attendance at the Presbyterian Sabbath
School, in this town, was the stnallest
known for a number or years. - Butt
singular thing' in connection with this is
that the collections for the same quarter
are the largest ever received. The. de-
crease in attendance was mainly on the
boys' side, wh4e the increase in pollee -
tions Was also on that side, The boys
must not conclude from this that if they '
still absent themselves they are increasing
the finances, for the teachers 'amp,' sooner
'have the schola.rs present, • •,.... if it was
