Galt Reformer. FIRE.—About half past one Mon day morning the frame buildings owned by Mr. Stanbury alongside the railway track,to the east ofthe G. 1'. 1L passenger depot, and which were formerly used as warehouses, were destroyed by fire. Several of the G. '1'. R. passer ....wiles "(1'0 scorched, a quantity et ;umber en a flat ear was burned, tics were burned, switch destroyed and steel rails rendered unfit for use. The steamer was on hand and did good work, but it is thought that if thorn had been only a lnodcratUT ..high' wind from the right quarter the station 1101150, l'ike's hotel, and other property could not have been saved. The glare of the lite was seen at several miles distance. The Ions to the G. 1'. R. will not exceed $500. Tho buildings cost about $3,000, but were only assessed for $900. As they were unoccupied, the fire must have •boeu of incen- diary origin, or caused by the care- lessness of 'some unauthorized oc- cupant. TH RE -OI ENI N G OF TIIE 1A.NTARIQ STILET IIET11ODIST li1I31LIII. Large Crowds Attend Sunday and Monday. CHURCH RE-OYENINO.—The re- opening'exercises of the Ontario St. Methodist Church took place last Sunday. Throughout the day the services were marked with power, and fewer on the part of the speaker, and undivided interest on the part of the hearers. The Rev. E. Roberts, of Meaford, Toronto Conference, preached two powerful sermons, morning and afternoon. In the morning he took for his subject, "Brayer," basing his remarks on Acts xis. 5, taking up the eircumstauces bringing about the prayer, the manner of the prayer, and the result of prayer. In the afternoon he took for his subject, "Faith," using as a basis Matt. xiv. 31, showing that true faith depends upon three things : knowledge of the truth, as- sent of our mind tothe truth, and a dependance upon the truth. He also stated it was both a gift of God and an act of our will. He made plain his positions by many apt illustrations. _' The Rev. J. E. Howell, M. A., the popular chair- man -of the Godet•ich District, preached in the evening, taking for subjeot, "Tho Brotherhood of Man," basing. his remarks qu, Gon. iv. 9. "Am I my brother's keeper 1" which he answered iu the , affirmative., Tho sermon. showed much research and thought. It was a powerful ex- hortation to all to live pure lives. The speaker brought ,before the hearers by illustration and other- wise the influence even of a single act and that the most unassuming life was not without even great in- lluence, and that the nature of man and society which the goes to make up was of such • a character that neutral dependence and consequent mutual interests forced each to have 'an interest in the other—to be his brother's keeper. He illustrated the responsibility of man to his fellow man by stating that force was never lost. The motion im parted to a body of water; by a stone being cast into it, was never lost but reached the utmost confines, be the stretch of water never so ex- tensive. Even the motion imparted to the air by the displacement of it through the force of the human voice was never lost but rolled on through space. So the spoken and written utterances of man were never lost. They had an effect more or less on his follows. ° Men nowa- days were to a great; extent influen- ced by what their forefathers had spoken or written. The greater the opportunities and abilities of the in- dividual, the greater his respousiir 'bility, and he would be hold ac- countable as his brother's keeper to the extent of his influence upon his fellow men. The day closed with a prayer meeting conducted by the Rev. J. E. Howell. The 0011gl•ega- - tions during t'lle day werc-gtsod: To - say there was acrowd at night is too weak a term, there was a perfect jam. The collectio'ils. were on the whole good. The singing by the 'choir—well; it was as is.nsual with ;them,. good. CHURCH DINNER.—T110 dinner 'in connection with the re -opening of the Ontario St. Methodist church was set for 5:30 on N on'tlay. From that time until about 8 o'clock the basement of the church .was a per- fect hive of industrious), Humanity, 'each iudividualnlem.ber paying per- sistent compliments to the onorinous spread of substantial and dainty delicacies with which the numerous tables were laden. There was iu- deed enough and to spare notwith- standing that ovcx•' 600 persons were partakers of a bounteous repast. And while the ladies de- serve all praise for the. material food provided, they aro also to. be congratulated upon the charming neatness and temptingly artistic manner in which it was served. The surroundings were as pleasing to the eye as the eatables were to the palate. Aud the courtesy shown by the ladies and gentlemen who vol- uuteore(1 to perform the arduous task of seeing that the guests were all attended to, was above all praise. Shortly after 8 o'clock the church proper was filled with an interested audience desirous of par- takiug of the intellectual, religious and musical treat provided. There were on the platform, the chairman of the district, Rev. Mr. Howell, Seaforth, and Rovds. Fisher, I[olmosville, Roberts, Meaford, Stewart, Rupert affil Spalding, town.
