The Conservative Chieftein,g speech.
Sir John possesses to it large degree
one feature in particular that. is 110 credit
to a statesman, yet one that is .of consid-
erable service to a public man whoo is un-
scrupulous. IIe has an unlimited supply
of cheek, and knows that no matter.how
reckless or untruthful lzis statements,
when made to his own supporters, they
will be aeeepted without question, and not.
only this, he has the inost unblushing ef-
frontery, and glories in 'acts of wrong -do -
tag which: should banish forever any man
guilty oil them.
Take his statements in reference to the
Pacific Scandal as an example. He states,
in eftb'et, that there was no .1crong in his
acceptanceof Sir Hugh Allan's n1O ey,
and intimates that he would do the same
again, if he got a chancel and unblushingly
asserts that the money was justly expend-
cd, yet the ,people of Canada, expressed
their condemnation of that act, and no
longer ago than last week, the Hamilton
Spectator, one of the leading Oonservativo
papers in Ontario, stated, that "`tile one
• great blunder of Sir John's lite.'was in
the acceptance and use lie made of Hugh
Allan's money."
Then"again Sir John pinned his faith
to the N. P., intzrnating'thatt it' bad' not
failed -in the .slightest rirspeot in accom-
plishing all that had be'eir cLunied ft it
Could •a:more audacious untruth be utter
ed. Si .,.., a lost estimate be must' have-
had of the intelligence of liis hearers.
Hundredsof men out of employment;
factories closed, prices low ; depression ex-
isting in commercial circl'e's such as had
not been experienced for years -;and in'
the face of all these things; Sir Johii ha.
the brazen impudence to stand up and de-
clare that times are good. There •fess not
a' man among his hearers but knew he was
stating what was untrue, yet they are such
Servile' followers. of him; that they would•
no doubt cheer to the .echo snob. state-
ments.
Sir John's forecast •of trauscontitiontal

performed the duties of that difficult posi-

so that it will he seen Dr. Williams is not
without experience in the duties of the
office to which he has been. chosen. In
1885 he was chosen first President of the
newly formed Niagara Conference, Dr.
Williams has just returned frogs the great
centennial meeting of American Metho-
dism, at liaitimorc,•where lie read an able
and brilliant paper on the rise and pro-

The Saerameutal services in Willis
Church last frlabbath, were largely attend-
ed, Rev.. A. D. McDonald, of Seatorth,
preaching very accelitabie sermons loth
morning :and evening.
All the children of the Rattenbuiry St.
Methodist Sabbath School that took part
in the late anniversary, were treated. to
"the good things of life" by the superin-
tendent, llir, Thompson, on Friday,
On Sunday next Rev. Jas. Gray goes
to Uoderich, and Rev. Mr. Salton toPais-
ley. The services here will, therefore, be
supplied by Rev. Mr, Birks in the morn-
ing, and Alex. Birks, in the evening.
Missionary services will be held in the
Ra,ttenbury Street Methodist church, the
first Sauduy in the new year. Rev, G. 1`I.
Cornish, of SS'ingham, will preach in the
morning, and Rev. James ilroley, of Sea -

On Sunday morning Rev. Mr, Kenner,
preaehes in the Presbyterian church, and
in the Baptist in the evening.
Rev.Jass Gray was one of the pall bear-
ers at the funeral of the late. Dr. Rice, in
Toronto, last week. : It is altogether likelyF1
that at the June conference this gentle-
•man. will retire from the active ministry
and devote himself entirely to the man-
agement of the several funds of the church
which he has charge of at present, finding
it impossible to attend to both with satin-
Section.. He has spenta long time in
ministerial work, and has literally become
gray in his Master's service,'thotlgh there
are yet very few more vigorous or .active
mon in the Methodist ministry, than Rev,
