The regiment arrived on Monday afternoon by special train. getting here about 2:3 o'clock. After the officer.' mounts had been gut off the train and rafter at trw informal words of welcome f the Mayor, Lt. -Col Young of the :tied, and others, the Fusiliers lined up and paraded to their camp grounds at the Agricultural Park.

Monday evening'.+ program waw given under the trees. a number of incandes- cent lights heiug strung from the trees fur the purpose. Thursday night the band occupied the hand stand against the court house and the music was heard to much better advantage. the crowd not being Ni, much on a level with the players and the music• iu consequence being heard to a consid- erably greater distance.. The singing of Mr. Leblanc, one of the bandsmen, to an accompaniment by the band, made quite a hit on Tuesday night. bis numbers being. "Asleep in the Deep" and "in the Shade of the Old Apple Tree." He received a genuine ovation in the way of applaud. and the herr hy the band Were alio heartily applauded. This evening the tend will not play on the Square, hav- ing arranged to assist at the concert of the manner school. Residents in the vicinity of the camp grounds have been favored with nightly concerts at. "any old time" during the hours of tri• darkness, and most of the soldiers did not put in very many hones of sleep the flit night. As Bandmaster Ruthven put it when called on the following morn- ing by an officer of the summer school and found dozing in his tent, "The boys are pretty enthus- iasticeind they were up pretty nearly all night practising." On Tuesday afternoon members of Companies Non. 1 and 3 were at the rifle range practising at the 21le yards range, while the remaining portion of the regiment, including the hands. went through some evolutions at the camp grouuds, trooping the colors, etc. Thr evolutions were very pretty to watch.

Or Taesday afternoon Dr. l'uurtire gave tar first of his lessons ,on the life of Christ, treating of the birth. boy- hood and growth tet manhood of Jesus of Nazareth. He spoke of the sources of our infut!nation regarding His life, and • pared the gospels with one! another,,showing their cherartrristi.s and the manner in which they supple anent one another : Matthew writing the gospel of the Kingdom; as an account of a historic 'anent, and dwelling on the significance of event. without regard to their sequence in time : Mark. a Jew. writing for Gen- tiles, narrating incidents rather than history. giving us the gospel pf action and confining himself largely to the ministry in Galilee ; Luke, the secbol- art' Gentile, setting forth in under the events of Christ's ldr : John. writing for Christian believers,. making pto- minent the person of Christ, the Word made flesh. his theme being the King, as Matthew's is the Kingdom. Dr. l'uurtice was followed attentively, by all preeent and closed his i,'ss(w by asking roil. review questions, the eyeteeth's( of which proved that his labor bad not been in vain. - Missionary Addresses. Two missionary addressees followed, one by Rev. T. A. `Headman. of Bay- field, on New Ontario : the other by Rev. M. Anderson. of Blyth, on Indian mission work in Canada. The former described the work of Methodist mis- sions in Northern Ontario for the hast fifty years, mentioning the labors of iohn N. Lake, Silas Huntington. the Moorehonse brothers, and Rev. Mr. Galloway: He described also the of our dining home old Iw/ material resources of that par. Province and emphasized tit of the I heruten on the churches, Rev. Mr. Anderson has the Methodist circuit -rimier'. abhnrren manuscript and felt obliged to ttpote- gize for having brought some with him. He evidently did not. feel *t hnume with his notes ani did not con- fine himself to them by any means. His areount of missionary work among the Indians was very interest-, ing. He told of the deputation of heir Flathead Indians who at•uie a century ago travelled from the Col- umbia river to St., Louis to get the white man's Book of Heaven And whn pttL.ticnlly expressed their grief when they disap- e ailed ,mud y t p�ointuent to gt't it there. Mr. Anderson advo- cated keeping the Indian children at retool for eight or nine months in the year, instead of three alontbs, and deitouneed the present methox1 hf netting the Indians as wards of the ti..vrrnment instead of making them independent citizens. with full rights and responsibilities. Everting Session. In the evening the tent ens vended and every gout was occupied. After a song service, the chairman. Rrv. B. Clement, called upon Rev. A. K, Hicks, 13. A,. of Me,tforih, for his address on ••Th.' Present Opptrhrn- il y." The smhjeet of the address waw the opportunity ettinrelel by the home mission's espeaally gthe settlers crowding into one Northwest. The speaker exhorted leaguers to "gee the work" and to "melee the work." to be house tel-sirynaries in their own Writ.. 11r4 and to keep up the metalwr•Mhip of fhr I.eagate's. Mrs. Norman, wife of Rev. 1). Nor- man, missionary from Japan. gave an interesting expinnatlnn of inure of the indirect tnethodg of bringing the gos- pel to the people of the land of the ris- ing sun. Hie illnetratinne exhibited the Christian tact, that is PO necemart in all efforts to win souls ter Clod. Even "afternoon team' Ore made to do service for the Master. Mas. Norman referred to the treatment of the Rus- sian prisoners be the JAps during the late war and ehti,n,r1 that the influ- ence of Christian trashing and Chris - time Meek was evident in their spirit of humanity.

Dr, Courtier. give his second lecture,enn the Life at Christ, taking up the baptism and temptation of Jesus. and his Jiodates u ministry. He explained the signifl- caner et the baptism, the snaugurr.- tinu of the Messianic ministry. and of the tewptaatione to suer wrong or uu• worthy methods and to conform to the expe'tationa of the slew/ m-'garl- iug the Mesejah, which Jesus had Its oyer( In Chia period occurred His first cleansing of the temple.

Mr. Swann aulvewe.tel the tithing system and urged all to proportionate. systematic and cheerful giving. If possible re than one-tenth should be given for religious and charitable work. Look to the West. In the evening Rev. W. E. Kerr spoke to a crowded house on missions among the English-speaking settlers lin our new Provinces. He gave an earnest and stirring address, pointing nut the evil intltiences that draw our British and American brothers who settle in the West away ftvnu the gos- pel and Christian living, showing the necessity of evangelizing the Anglo- Saxon element, the leaders in. the new country. the most important, the most ninaernes and the most easily reached by Christian missions. The reverend gentleman knew whereof he spoke, for he spout some months armorer the ranchers and farmers of the West. He urged that we sl Id send them the gospel and too so speedily. The Sunday School and Mtasions. .1. A. Jackson, seretary of the Pro- vincial Sunday School As.oci'tion, gave a thought-provoking and timely addles -on Simnday ach.ols and nets cion+. He c1 el that they are One,' and that there is no need todiscnss "tit.' relation" between them. He laid e unefscose n miabinnarythbliInntmiir talhr presenatedtineI.'t Mndday school periodicals on the mis- siooarien themselves, who failed to supply the editors with items and in- formation though the maturing of the pnblicatinns are thrown open to theist. Sunday schools should he s.appirt.d by the church, as a department of church work, then all arinnry raised by the school could he devoted to mss• siollat-y, educational, rharltable fonds, or given for other similar objects. He :Mowed the danger there exists of dividing the church into Old and yolang members, If the idea should be- come too prominent that the Sunday schools and Epworth la•agies were mainly for raising fonds for missions, while the test of the church work and Hnancet shwasit he in the hinds of 111. older menalwrt. This vigorous speech was followed ele set• by an attentive, if not fully sympathetic, audience. Morning Prayer -meeting. The morning 1lr'yer-Ine'tings at 7 n dltw'k have brought out a few own- ed workers to pray for missinns and for League work in general. There lure not so many camping in small tents this year : only one tent was pit up : it is occupied by a num- ber elf y g ladies front Clinton. The tempers and others who hilve COMP in to the Mmonwr school gener- Ally find their way to the early umeet- ings. which are bright ami helped even if not largely attended.
