Goltiwin Smith has a tempered and well reasoned article in Monday's %tui -':on recent aspects of the vital question of our, trade relations with our southern neighbors. Now that the great quadrennial presidential struggle is over, he i:ays "We emerge from the vortex of irrelevant issues and return to the consideration of the .question` whether unrestricted trade would not b beneficial to the industries of Canada.' AU admit that the cause has suffered from, the revival of international ani. mosity, which selfish monopolists have done all in their power to fan into flame. The doctor well says it is vile occupation to try to keepalive mute. al hatred between two sections of the race which God and nature made to dwell atuicably together. But it is congenial and likely work formonopo- . lists. This is not however a wirepul- lers issue. :The arguments -for free trade are not mere platform echoes but "the landmarks of geugraphy and. the abiding •laws -Of Mature." Tine question. was not especially taken up , by either the democratic or repub. Bran party. The introducers of it into Congress, Messrs. Butterworth and hitt, were republicans, bat •it received the- • support of Cleveland's party in the house. The Dr. says : "The most significant •feature of the' recent election is the increased *artisan and city vote in favor of free. te;ade, which , shows that the workingman. . is • begin - fling to understand.that •'the ;alas of protection •go ,not .to hien but the buyer." t( x'eoldwia'Smlth believes -,this will be .the ;great issue at . the next general election. and says the speeches of Sir John and -his.colleaguea indicate it, Then, he believes, the promise of a railway subsidy, a post office or a wharf is not likely to be sufficient in- „fluence n-.,fluence to carry the day. He deplores - the fact that opponents of wirestrieted -reciprocity •resort • entirely to angry 'denunciations instead of commercial..

Instead of denying the facts, or hurling vie denunciations against those wllo point out these facts; it behooves the people of Canada to look at the matter fairly, squarely to consider the clause and in so far as ill them lies to devise a remedy. iufieetiun, energy, Ane perception of meaning and groperemphasis, she, exhibits, the possession pf Areal natural elocutionary talent and ex::el- lotlt cult tre.

But she does.uot or need not depend on such titles. Her musical achievements are readily but unostentatiously asserted.

Dr. Meldrum's violin solo was well rendered and highly appreciated. The two excellent quartettes given by Mrs. Orr, Mrs. Buchanan and Messrs. Smith and Morton more than sustained the splendid reputation these singers have already attained. Mr. T. W.

The service partookanore than usual of a musical character, four voluntaries by tho choir being inter- spersed with bible readings. The pastor Rey. John Scott, preached from '.the .text: "They shall praise .the Lord that seek Him, .Psalm 22:20. He said— We are met together tod,,y for special and grateful acknowledgement of the great Fountain of all our iss the special rOneecognition of�tGodre f by the nation thring at it implies. If our attention be directed aright to the Almighty, we shall discover such excellencies fn Iiim that our emotions.will seek expression in 'praise.' This implies that we may attain to knowledge of the Lord, if we seek Him. ,We cannot praise in any true sense an unknow," Being. We should improve such a day as this by cultivating a knowledge of God, In order that wo may do so, we have been created with the innate Idea of God, or with the God•oonsoious• nese, in the mind. And we have the same. oppor- r tunities th t becomesverifying' aour patidea of our knowledge, e,viz., through the attributes by which He manifests Him- eeif, and the effects which Be ;produces. This is not to say that we, finite beings, are capable of compre- hending the Infinite. Yet through Revelation we may apprehend God ; and our knowledge of Him may be true and satisfying, as far as it goes, It is implied further, that it we seek Hint aright, we shall know Him as a personal God. We cannot offer praise in the sense understood in the text to an impersonal object or influence. We cannot entertain .a feeling of gratitude, such as the Canadian people are called upon today to express, to an unconscious .and jr- rational thing. Gratitude, in its true meaning, is an. emotion entertained by one person towards another person. It becomesus to -day to .recognize with adoring gratitude the personal God to whose conscious goodness we owe all our blessings, who oncerns us, and whose will s an ffis suent ppreme ht allthings. est in all that cl118 implied aleo that if we seek him aright we shall know him to be a beneficent ruler. Here a brief review was offered of the mercies—Individual, domestic, ecclesi- astical, social and national, with which the year has been crowned; and an appeal was made for the culti- vation of a grateful •spirit to find expression not ryerely in the utterances of the lips, but also in tire' conformity of the life to the willofGod, W roeteten, Mr. John G"rfton returned fame a. hut/th us exp"dii,icln to Wiareon and vicinity,— Wm. and Jas. 13x11, of "towhee, now living in Muskoka, Bent holm, #a couple of fine deer to their brother J enes,_Mr.David Gemmil"s toaltl ran away at GibsOu's sawmill on Saturday last, smasi:it:g the wagon, --Messrs.
