A very painful case of accidental
poisoning occurred hoe° on
ri-
day evening last, The two year
old daughter and a four year old boy
of Mr. Andrew Ray, were playing in
the stable. The little girl got hold of
of a bottle containing carbolic ' acid
and drank its contents, thinking
was water. She WAS a corpse in six
Hours. The whole community are
moved in intense sympathy for Mrs,
and Mr, gay in their sad bereavement,

.A. successful meeting of the West
,Huron Teachers' Association was held
at Exeter on the 25th and 26th of
May. - In discussing the subject of
history the authorized text hook Was

enumerated. discontentment, .difficulty
in controlling schools, instability of
the profession. The importance of
being in full sympathy with the work
was ably shown. A resolution was.
passed suggesting that the Public
School teachers' section of the Pro-
vincial Association be composed of
public school teachers only, and that
one delegate be allowed from each
inspectorate. Inspector Tom ably
argued the importance and value of
temperance instructions in schools.
In the evening Inspector Tom dis-

of this Association that each public.

that many people have different views
oaths subject of early closing now from
what they had previous to the passing
of the by-law. In fact, not a few say
they never gave it any consideration,
and did not realize what it implied.
When the matter was before the
council, not one quarter of the mem-
•iters expressed an opinion upon: it.
Now a great deal of unreasoning
criticism is indulged in. But it is not
onlyuseless, but absurd. The govern -
anent legislated at the request of the
people. We know of no council that
adopted it without being requested to.
do so. Yet we hear people talk
eloquently about infringement of
personal rights and liberties, forsooth.`
The act was generously asked for in
'the. interest of employes. It was
generously conceded. Frere the ques-
tion is simply this : Are a few kickers
to overrule the wished of the majority?
If it is to be :;law let us have it en-
force& . if itis not wanted and was
thoughtlessly adopted, then avail your-
selves at the earliest opportunity to
get rid of it. But have no dead letter

Leaves from the Chaldee
s Chroni0le-
ANNIVi.iis
A ver largo and delighted audiene
listened very
Rev. Dr. Carman, Genera
Superintendent of the Method's
Church, here on Sunday morning last.
The nature of wealth and how to ob-
tain it was his ably handled theme.
Fdis text was from Deut. 8 and 18
"But thou shalt remember: the Lord
thy God, for it is he that giveth then
power to get wealth." Wo can but
indicate the gist of his discourse.
There existed a covenant between God
and Christ, which was witnessed by
the Holy Ghosb, for man's salvation.
We are worsting out the conditions
whereby God gives Christ a people.
If we are saved, it is by accepting the
terms of God's covenant, which are
decreed, predestined, fixed beyond the
power of mon and angels. Nothing
is taught more surely in 'the Bible
than predestination,and it is the best
thing in the world, in its place. If we
are saved or lost it is because we ac-
cept or reject the terms of salvation.
Men get distorted views of truth and
make narrow and short what God
made long and wide. The Old Testa-
ment shows that God conditioned the
getting of tennporal things on right-
eousness. As associated with fidelity,
the Jews had plenty, but with faith.
lessness there was banishment, es-
trangement, misery. The Bible de-
gnition of a papan is one whose sole
object in lifs is set forth by the ques-
tions : What shall we eat? Where-
withall shall we be clothed ? and
those who seek those things exclusively
to -day, are but pagans in that sense.
God's covenant is to make men rich,
and Christianity tends to make men

4 V. 1.—Now in ,the fifty and first
'year, and fourth day of the fifth
tnonth, the tillers of the ground, their
wives, their sons and their daughters
assembled themselves together in the
'city, where the eagle of lofty wing had
its home.
V. 2.—And the young maidens wore
dressed in gay attire, the colors where-

V. $ —The young men had a filthy

'day of battle rose when • a worker in

in the chronicles of the city, how a
anusician played on a four -stringed
instrument, and the workers in tin
had crowns of the same upon their
!leads.

V. 7.—Now upon these leaves were
imprinted the names of the citizens

even workers in iron and brass, in gold
and in tin, bakers, and confectioners.

and the groans of the bullocks became
as one.

those living have bread. 'Yet God's

or the amenities of social life, Chris-

repellant thing. You could not pic-

drunkennnss, so degrading as sin and
vice. It is a broad, genial, musical,
social, vital, glorious thing. The
main idea in religion was not to be
good to go to heaven, but to be good
to bring heaven down to earth. Tho
exercise of religion gave fellowship
with God, long life, happiness, pros-
perity, notwithstanding the distrac-
tions and terrible influences of sin.

A.rchie, an eleven -year-old son of
Mr. Angus Stewart, of the Bline, met.
with a very painful accident about the
latter end of last December. While
standing on a chair reaching for some-
thing, he happened to knock down a
cushion with a darning -needle in it.
When he stepped off the chair he step-
ped on the needle which went nearly
its whole length into his foot. His
mother pulled it out with her teeth,
and the needle was considerably bent.
Soon after, his foot became very sore,
the little fellow suffering the greatest
of agony. Several pieces of bone
have come out ad the wound. lately,
which is yet a running sore. We
earnestly desire to soon hear of his
being around again.—Geo. Underwood
is busy erecting, an addition to his

may it be filled with plenty.—"All
