When we consider the abundant and var-
ied supply of periodical literature to be
found on the tables, which is free to all, and
also the number of books on the shelves,
treating of almost every oonoelvsblesubject,
and numbering between 3,000 and 4,000, ft
is • matter of surprise that more ofour =r-
ow are not found willing to support

Mile small Dom of $1 00 per annum.
We have so regret that owing to the re-
duction in the (iovseam's% grant, the Is-
anoial position of the Institute is c t as
strong as It would atherwise be. In this
oonneolios 1. might say that I am informed
that in several other owns the authorities
have Wog, reepenelbls tor the pabllo llbra-
ries and hays made them free libraries. if
our Council could vee their way to adopt
some Dison scheme, It would I ,think, be •
beseet to the town and would relieve the
directors of the burden of trying to keep
the library up-to-date with Mooed means,
with which to do 1t.
We desire to express our hearty thanks
to the town Counoil for their Tract of $100
and free light for the martens room, and also
to the County Council for their grant of
$15.
We also express oar appreciation of tarot
who have helped us with their sabomriptios

• Groat Issue In ,assess •
A great moral Isms, Meg l.ekiiF '
man), and worked for and prayed far by
some, is now near In Canada, viz. • whether
our people wish the liquor treffio continued
by law among them or not.
Our General Assembly annually declares
strongly in favor of prohibition of the
lilsor tr•fo. Last Assembly resolved :
, That oar people are hereby earnestly
exhorted to ase their utmost endeavors, In
every lawful way. to carry the plebiscite In
favor of prohibition by an overwhelming
majority ; and thus tree the Charoh from
one of its deadliest foes, our land from un-
told 'misery and elms, and our modern
drtlis•Yw from its direst reproaoh and
shams."
loins tstenty-Sys years ago we heard
Principal Oman'. at • odd= meting In
Halifax, speaking In favor of one central
Government University and against State
aid to denomtnatlonal colleges. Ile opened
his terse, Whine, speech with one of those
pithy raying. which great men sometimes
coin for posterity : " If you west to con-
vince a man that he Is right, argue with
him."
Do not be toe severe upon him when he
now takes to press and platform against
prohibition. May it nee be possible that
the learned Prlaelpal has takes, in award.
awe with hs own dictum, this somewhat
novel method of oosvinolag the Foyle
that they are right to following the ' ear -
asst sxhortatieo" of the Assembly and
helping the work whbh the Assembly de-
scribed as " freeiar the Church trees see of
Gs deadliest foes, our land from untold
eldery and orals, and our modern civiliza-
tion from its direst reproach and shame."
Temperance people are used to the eppoe.
rim of the liquor interest, and perhaps be-
come too Indifferent to It : but opposition
from sMxpeetd quarters leads lime to ex-
amine mere closely their foundatloas. and
thus become more esviaeed of Ws import -
mos of their great trust and more more ear-
nest is its behai!.

ample the gessoes of orohihltloe of the

good man and true. honestly opposed to pro-

2. All the visions elem.ote in any country
or eommmnity are against it. A plebleat*
of oar orlmisal population, our lewle s meq
and fallen wooer weald decide the fate of
prohibition beyond a debt.
3. The vast =misery of the best sen and
