nniversary services in connection with the Sab-

inst., and were, considering the very un-
favorable weather, a success. On San -
day two sermons were preached by Rev.
W. H, Game, of Amherstbura;, a former
pastor of the circuit, and on Monday even
ing, besides the Christmas Tree and recit-
ations by the children, Mr Gane delivered
his celebrated lecture: -"Sense. Common
and Otherwise." On. Sunday afternoon he
preached from Matthew 18 -1; 2 and 3.
Theleermon was a conciseand logical argu-
ment, so simple in its conclusions that all
could understand. In the evening a very
large congregation greeted the preaoher,
and the attention never failed during the
delivery of a one hour sermon The text
was Matthew 4; 8 and 9 ;-28, 16.18. The
subject was the two crises on the life of
Christ. A poiut of no little difficulty to
Bible atudente was made very clear, name
ly, the tomptatiou .of Christ. It was a
clear, convincing argument, closing with a
sentence that the large congregation will
never forget : "Tile supposition that
Christ could not sin raison Him above all
fitness to be an example for us as one
tempted in all pointe like we are,yet with-
out sin-" The contract was drawn bet-
ween Jusue on the mountain in the tempt-
ation when all power and dominion was
offered him, ani Jesus a few years later
when He called Hie disciples to Him on a
mountain in Galilee and said ; "All power,
is given unto me in Heaven and in earth."
The refusal of the devil's offer of dominion
and the pain and suffering and humiliation
lonoliuesa and crucifixion, and the glorious
triumph over death, His power to save
men. to use mea, to, exalt men, power to
command the nomage of Heaven, were all
beautifully portrayed by the speaker in
language not to be mistaken nor forgotten.
We doubt if the congregation everlistened
to a more powerful or pathetic piece of
oratory than that used by the preacher in
his description of the removal of the body
of Jesus from the cross. The sermon
throughout sparkled with those pretty
flights of eloquence couched in terse sen-
tences for which Mr. Gann is so well noted,
On Monday evening a large audience as-
sembled again to hear the lecture on 'Sense
Common and Otherwise,' and to partici-
pate in the Christmas Tree Festivities.
After a well'eolected program of musk,
recitations, etc., had been carried out by
the school, Mr. Gane proceeded to deliver
hie lecture. Among the many things said
it would be almost tireless to select parts
of it, but some of the ideas were so full of
common sense that we offer no apology for
for giving a tow of them as follows -The
Franchise was every man's right and
every man should vote. every man could
be called upon to defend this country
from enemies without, then he should be
be compelled to use his powers against
evil enemies within. Our legislators were
spending their time shooting mosquistos
with muskets instead of devoting their at.
tention to the great curses ot the land that
wore sapping the lifo blood of the youth
of our country ; law makers should bo
backed up with prayers and good men
sent to Parliament; pure laws could not
come from a sink of iniquity ; purify the -
fountain by sending pure men to re-
verent ne ; make it au offence agains•
the law to solicit votes, vote for principle
and not party ; have a pro ratio represent
ative in our Legislatures according to pro
fessione or calling ; children should be
helped in education but not in wealth, let
them make their own wealth that they
may valve it and make the world better
by the amount of energy and thrift they
display ; lay not up treasure for spend-
thrifts ; dress according to invironment ;
eat to produce the beat physicial and brain
power possible. The lecture which was
listened to with rapt attention closed
with a powerful appeal to the audience to
love their country and prayfor her ae,they
would for the Queen, the church and
themselves. Mr Gene is an old favorite
here and the people of Sunshine are justly
proud of their old pastor, and this time
he has added fresh gild to the already
golden opinions of his old co-workers m
the great cause of Christ. Rev Mr. Rus-
sell occupied the chair. Proceeds, net,
$25. kir, Gane also del vered an aldreas
to the children of Elimville Sunday
School on the morning of the 25th, taking
as his subjeot the call of Samuel. Every-
body was highly pleased with all these
services.

The forecast in the Times a few weeks
ago regarding the municipal aspirants has
turned out to bo correct almost to the tetter
and your correspondent is away up on him -
golf as a prognosticator of no mean calibre.
The nomination at Zurich on Monday was
the hottest for years and was almost suffi-
cient to melt theesoow around the building.
every body in general got an overhauling,
old records wore abused and many new
platforms mapped out, and withal it would
appear that we are to have an infallible
council next year. With but a single ex-
ception the nomination resulted as was
stated by us in a former correspondence as
follows; -Reeve, Geo McEwen, J C Kalb-
fleich, Robt Patterson . First -Deputy J H
Schnell, Robt Turnbull, Second deputy
Monis Greiter,, Wm Caldwell; Councillors,
John Voolker R MoMordie and W 'B
Battler, The nut ' question-isas bo the
Connell, but as the eandidntee are all good
men and one as likely as the other to be
eleoted, we will leave Monday next to tell
the hidden tale. We hope ahoy are all
elected.

BntsEs-Mr Westlake'a shooting match
on Thursday last afforded the boys of the
neighborhood oonsiderabie amusement. It
was a tboronghly amateur affair, but the
acorea made would do credit to more pre-
tentious marksmen. There was a good
attendance and things passed off pleasantly
until at the conolusion of the match a lan-
tern had to be employed, when ooneiderable
confusion resulted. Sides were chosen by
Jae Pardon and Thoe Bell of ten men eaoh,
ten birds being alloted to each oonteetant,
Mr. Pardon's team winning by a more of
46 to 43. The individual acorea were very
good, and would hays been better had day
light held out longer. Mr, John Heywood
of Beater, one of the beat posted men on
the ruies of shooting, refereed the mutate
and gave entire satisfaction, as not a single
decision given was protested against. 01

that there is no man in the township who
can win his laurels. At time of writing we
learn that the only opposition to the Coun-
cil is Mr Fred Hankin opposing Mr. Thos
