church, there being about 600 people
present. As one glanced around the
church the work of the Local
•Societies was very noticable for hav-
ing the decorations arranged so
nicely, in fact, the entire church
basement and all was very suitably
decorated with flowers, greens,.
mottoes, bunting, etc., and presented
a very fine appearance.
A mammoth arch hacl been built
at the entrance to the church and in
it hung a banner "0. E. Welcome,"
so that one felt at home the moment
they entered.
The Reception Committee met all
trains and conveyed all delegates to
the Convention church by means of a
large cab decorated with evergreens
and bearing two large signs, "To the
Convention."
The president, Rev. J. Edge, of
Goderich, occupied the chair during

Diek, of Hensall, Ont., performed the

c:cl to the Methodist church where tea T. A. Hawkins, of Brussels, supported
had been provided.
We are safe in saying that a more
social and enthusiastic crowd of
young people never before were
assembled in Huron County.. A
magnificent spread had been pre-
pared in the basement of the church
and the local societies are to be con-
gratulated on their splendid arrange-
ments.
On the walls were placed suitable
mottoes and in every available place
flowers and greens were tastily ar-
ranged.
The Wednesday evening session
was opened, with a song service
Under Mr. Becker's supervision "and
consisted of a solo, duet, quartette
and eongregational singing..
The reports of the Finance and
Resolution Committee were present-
ecl by the Secretary and Rev. Mr..
Bond; both reports were adopted.
The following are the resolutions:

was meant when they extended it
and that they meant it now.
Rev. Jas. A. Anderson, of Goderich,
then gave an address, wile kind of
people I want in my church." The
address was practical and full of
Choice thoughts. He said that it
was the useful rather than the orna-
mental Christian that the church
needs to-day—men and women who
stand by their convictions and be
busy all the time with the work of
the church and acting from convic-
tion rather than from mere fitful im-
pulse. -
Rev. J. H. Henderson, of Hensall,
next gave an address on "Literary
and Bible study." He said that in.
this literii.ry age there was no excuse
for ignorance, because good books
coulcl be get cheap and every chance
was given to young people to study
if they wanted to. That literary
study was necessary to thorough
Bible study, especially a knowledge
of the Greek and Hebrew languages,
and yet no literary course could open
to anyone Gocl's true meaning with-
out the direction of the Holy Spirit.
The first session of Wednesday
Was a sunrise prayer meeting from
6.30 to 7.30, led by Mayor Holmes,
of Clinton. There were about 125
present and the service was very lin-
- pressive.
At 9 a. in. the delegates were
again assembled, the devotional
exercises being taken by Rev. W. J.
Waddell, of Ethel. The first paper
given ivas "Sociability in the Society,"
by T. B. Saunders, of Wroxeter.
The second, "The Endeavor Society
and the Young man," by E. H. Me-
Tenzie, of Goderich. The third,
"The Endeavor Society and the
Young Woman," by Mrs. M. L. Ash-
ley, of Londesboro. They were
three excellent papers and will be
printed in full and notice sent to the
different societies.

L Holmes, of Clinton and "Juniors
next in order, but unfortunately the
President could not be present for
which the delegates were very sorry,
his address therefore was not given.
The Past President occupied the
chair during the President's absence;
all were pleased to see hila in that
position and everything was satisfac-
torily carried out in his (Rev. G. H.
Cobbledick) charge.

carried 1,t beautiful bouquet of white
flowers. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev, J, W. Pring, Pastor
of the church. A large number of
friends and acquaintances turned out
to witness the pleasing scene. As
this was the first marriage in the
church, Mr,. James. Dustow, an old
and honored member of the church,
presented the bride, in the name of
'the Trustees, with a beautifully -
bound copy of the Bible and. Metho-
dist Hymu I3ook combined, as a
token of esteem. After the ceremony,
a number of invited guests drove to
the residence of the bride's father,
where a reception was held, and au
excellent marriage feast was iu wait-
ing. The wedding presents were
costly,'beautiful and useful and the
expressions of good will numerous.

- The new Executive was then in-
troduced by Mr. Cobblediek, and
Dr. Ferguson, the newly appointed
president, responded on their behalf.
An address, "The Endeavor Society

the church was packed. to its utmost

subject of the next address, given by tient hearing anal be. gave one of the
Mr. John Kerr of Wingham. Great
credit is due Mr. Kerr for having
prepared his subject on short notice
and also for keeping his promise to
the Executive by corning to the
Convention although in very poor
health. His remarks . were very
practical and it was a faithful inter-
pretation of the Divine command,
"Six days shalt thou work and rest
the Seventh'" •
Rev. Mr, Priest, President of the
Baptist Young People's Union of
Ontario and Quebec, was introduced
to the Convention and extended their
kindest greetings. Mr. Priest is to
leave in a few months to enter India
as a missionary.
, Rev. R. N. Burns, B. .A., of To-
ronto, was now introduced. He
gave an address on "Bible Study,"
which we would like eery Much to
have printed in full but space will
not permit of it: We hope the
suggestions of Mr. Burns will be
acted upon by every delegate.
The report of the Boston Conven-
tion was given by Miss M. S. Wash-
ington, of Clinton. To listen to her
one would aImostimagine tl�enlselves
at the Convention listening to such
best addresses of the Convention.
He said the problem of keeping the
Children in the S. S. was a very
important one, each parent and
teacher were personally responsible
and we should use every effort to
keep the children in the Sabbath
School and Endeavor Societies. One
organization was not enough, we
need both, and if these were properly
conducted better results are sure to
follow. He also suggested the com-
bining of the two organizations
known as the County Sabbath
Organization and the .County C. E.
Union,
Rev. R. N. Burns, B. A., then gave
the last address of the Convention,
entitled "Thy Kingdom Come." He
inade a strong plea for more thorough
missionary work, and urged all to
learn more abort the work needed,
also what is being done and adopt a
system of systematic giving to this
great cause. We ought to have more
of the Napoleon spirit and accept the
command as a personal commission
and if we cannot go ourselves we
ought to send some one else. Do
all we can as well as we can and

Because we buy only the best

Mark thisimportant fact,namely,
that large salaries and other large
