The wreek of the middle span of the Quebec bridge carried joy to the heart of one Liberal in Kincardine who thought he had secured another grievance against the government. He has decided that no blame attaches to anyone, since he learned that the conttaet was let in April 1011.—Kin- cardine Review. MEETING OF WINGHAM DISTRICT The annual Financial District meet- ing of the Wingham District was held in the Belgrave Methodist church on Monday, September 18th, More than usual interest was manifest in this annual gathering of the ministers and laymen of the church. As a Nation we are now entering upon this the third year of world war and much in- terest centres in the possible effect upon the Christian Church. It was quite evident front the splendid gath- ering of bright, intelligent laymen, that the church has fv.ith in her mils- sion and that never in all her history was so sure of the ultimate triumph of its cause. 18 ministers and 45 laymen Peet to discuss the church for the pres- ent Conference year. Rev, J. W. Leib, tlert, Wingham, makes an ideal chair- man and his kind and brotherly spirit has won for him both esteem and love of laymen and ministers, Rev. D. Wren, Brussels, is the Financial Sec- retary. After devotional exercises and roll call, the regular business of the meet- ing was entered intowith much hearti- nese and splendid discussions followed during the day. Communications were read from the Lord's Day Alliance, the Christian Guardian and the Secretary of the Conference Board of Examiners, to all of which suitable resolutions were made expressing high appreciation of work they are doing. The Chairman of the District pre. rented report of the Conference Special Finance Committee in its relation to the Sustentation Fund. The object being to give to each preacher within the bounds of Confer- ence the minimum salary of $1000 A scale of ailetments cd'ae presented for the District by which the strong will help the weak and those minis- ters upon the poorer circuits receive salary in full. This was most heartily endorsed and should prove exceeding- ly helpful in the days to come. Rev. W. -A. Walden, B. A., Ford- wicb, DIstrict Secretary of Social Ser- vice and Evangelism, presented hie report. This was a very comprehen- sive and .far reaching report and Mr. Walden was complimented upon the very great care which was manifested in the preparation of the same. Re- port calls for a simultaneous campaign throughout the district when the work of Social Service and Evangel- ism willbe presented to the various congregations of the District. The date selected was a Sunday in Janu- ary, the day to be determined by the General Secretary. hollowing will be the change of pulpits. Wingham—The Departments, • Kincardine—Rev. J. W. Hibbert.

That we forward suggestions to the Special Committee on AgricuItur- al, Industrial and Trade D.partmet t appointed by the senate of Cauaia to help solve the problems along the line of Agriculture, Industry and Trade, both now and after the war. The District appointed W, H, Kerr, Brussels; D. C. Taylor, Lucknow and J, A. Morton, Wingham, as a0ommit- tee to look into this work and forward their investigation to the Department. Thb Edurational interests of the church, with special reference to Vic- toria College and 'University was pre- sented by Rev. Lloyd Smith, 1%L A., Toronto. In chaste and beautiful lan- guage, Mr, Smith presented the claims of hie department and made a pro. found impression upon the District. Mr. Smith is oue of the General Oen. ferenee officers and in him the church has made a selection tbat was an ex. oeedingly wise choice, Sunday, Feb; n- ary 25th, was the day set apart for the presentation of the Educational work of the church. A Missionary Conference was con- ducted by Rev, J. H. Arnup, B. A., Associate Foreign Missionary Secre. tary. Mr, Arnup stirred the gather. ing with his telling and impressive message, In an address, replete with the latest Missionary information, from the far flung battle line of the Church Missionary endeavor, he urged the men present to accept the challeni o of the Lord Jesus, to move out to greater elTort and Larger victories. With an optimism that gripped his hearers he called not for a two mile advance on a hundred mile front, but for a forward move all along the line to take the world for Christ and do it now, The Missionary Committee present- ed their report which was in keepiug with the message of the Foreigu Mis sion Secretary. It was as follows: - 1. That we have as our objective for the District, $8,500, an increase of 51,216 over last year. 2. That a Miesionay Committee of four or more ;;members of the church be appointed in each congregation to help realize this objective, 3 That weekly offerings to Missions be adopted in every congregation where possible, to bring about success. 4. That regular Missionary sermons be preached and literature distributed throughout congregations. That all Sunday Schools observe one Sunday a month as Missionary Sunday and that offerings be received for Missions on that day. That Missionary Vice - Presidents in Epworth Leagues be urged to assume some definite respon- sibility for their share of Forward Movement and'forthwith make prov- ision for meeting the same. 5. That a simultaneous campaign be held throughout the District on Sunday, Oct, 8:h, where possible, and where not suitable because of previous arrangements that Sunday preceding or succeeding be observed. That Missionary Educational sermons be preached on that day, That time of taking subscription be not later than November and that all monies collect- ed be forwarded at earliest conveni- ence to Missionary Treasurers of the church.
