I TO THE EDITOR OP THE ADVOCATE.
DEAR SIR. -The advantages of go-
ing to the Grand Bend for an outing or
ho
lidays are so well known one does not
need to speak of it, but there are some
days when the lake is so rough that
those who are fond of boating and fish-
ing find the time hangs heavily on their
hands, Now to these I would say that
within half an hour's walkelown where
the river channel used to be, will bring
them te a delightful fishing and boat-
ing' ground. (I have no doubt friend
Kennedy could easily get one of his
boats carted there.). Well three good
sports Alex., Jim, and the writer left
Exeter for a three days outing ou the
morning of the 5th and arrived safely
at our camping ground by mid -day -
of course we took boat and tent. After
puttinebthings in proper order, half -
past three saw us afloat and ready for
good fishioe which we had. Two of us
tr011ed andbon retUrn at night 17 pike
rewarded our labors. It was a regular
fishing match between Alex. and I, but
I got a few fish more than he did. Of
course dyer our camp fire we discussed
our disappointment and each said he
would beat the other next day. The
next day we rimed the full length of
this filowless river and really it was de-
lightful. The scenery is very good
and we were well repaid for our labor
not 'counting in the fish which we
caught and ducks we shot. Jim was
our shooter, but got little duck, only
one, The river hero widens out a great
deal and, large sand hills else to the
height of a hundred feet or more The
water is quite clear and cold and you
could see the fish full 30 feet below
sporting about. The end of all pleae-
ure comes and Saturday at 2 o'clock
saw all things packedand our return
commenced, Fifty on.Ppike repaid our
fishing experience and three ducks
but next year we three hope to meet
again in that luvely spot a little later
and fightiout our fishing match once
more. I believe Capt. Burleigh,. of
Port Frank owns the privileges of fish-
ing and shooting, but be will grant
leave to any good sport.

During last week the village of Blyth
WAS thronged with Christaip Eedeav-
orers and Epworth Leaguers who came
to. attend the fourth auntiej convention
ofeihe Huron County Christian Endeav-
miaTnion. Iii every way did it excel
r.l0' Previous eon ventions held in Wing -
ham., Hensel' and Clinton, and every
deiegate rejoiced at the increased in-
terest and usefulness of the great
Christian Endeavor movement,
The Opening session, was held. on
Tuesday evening in the Presbyterian
ehurch, there being' about GOO people
prOSen a As one glanced around the
church the work of the Local Societies
was very noticeable for having the de
-
carmine arranged so nicely, in fact,
the entire chinch basement and all
was very suitably decorated with flow-
ers:greens mottoes bunting, etc., and
presented a'very fine appearrnce,
A mammoth arch had been built at
the entrance to the church and in , it
hung a banner "C. E. Welcome," so
that one felt at home the moment they
entered,
, The Receptiou Committee met all
trains and conveyed the delegates to
the convention church by means of a
large cab decorated with evergreens
and bearing two large signs, "To the
Con vetttion."
The preaident, Rev. J. Edge, of God-
erich, occupied the chair during the
.opening, session and after devotional
egeteises and a few opeping remarks
he called upon Dr. Ferguson of Blyth,
PAsident of the '95 Local Committee,
to give the address of welcome and
right royally did the doctor, .on behalf
of the Local Societies and the Christian
people.of Blyth, welcome the delegates,
and assured them that their invitation
was meant when they extended it and
that they meant it now.
Rev. Jas. A, Anderson, of Goderich,
then gave an address, "the kind of peo-
ple 1 want in rny church." The ad-
dress was practical and full of e,hoice
thoughts. He said that is was the use-
ful rather than the ornamental Chris
tian that the church needs to -day -
men and women who stand by their
convictions and be busy all the time
with the work of the church and acting
from:convict* rather than from mere
fitful impulse.
Rev. J. H. Henderson, of Hensel],
nex; egave an address on "Literary and
Bible Study.". Hesaid thee ie this lit
every age there was no excuse for ig-
xi:trainee because good books could be
got olden and every change was given
U) young people to study if they wanted
to. That literary study was necessary
to thorough Bible etyclea eepecially
knowledge of the Greek and Hebrew
languages, and yet no literary course
open to anyone God's true meaning
without the. direction of the Holy Spirit.
The first session of Wednesday was
a sunrise prayer meeting from 630 to
7.30 led by Mayor Holmes, of Clinton
There were about 125 present and the
service was very impressive.
At 9 a. m. the delegates were again
assembled, the devotional exercises be-
ing taken by Rev. W. J. Waddell, of
Ethel, The first paper given was "So-
ciability in the Society," by T. B. Saun-
ders, of Wroxeter. The second, "The
Endeavor Society and the Young Man,"
by E. H. McKenzie, of Goderich, The
third, "The Endeavor Society and the
Young Woman," by Mrs. M. L. Ashley,
of Londesboro. They were three excel-
lent papers and will be printed in full
and notice sent to the different societies.
"Why a Junior Sodiety," by Miss L.
Holmes, of nd "Juniors and
their Bibles" by Clinton,diss Lamle, Hensel],
were two splendid papers on junior work
and we trust that many Junior SocietieS
will be formed during the coming year.
These will also be published,
"What an Endeauor Society ought to
expect from the Pastor" was the sub-
ject of an excellent address given by M.
D. Coltman, of Clinton; three things
were expected, Presence Prayer and
Patience. A pastor might either cheer
up the members by kind words, or he
may be as a cold water shower bath
given against their will. Secure the
Endeavorer's hand as well as his heart.
Then came the address "What a Pas-
tor ought to expect from the Endeavor
Society,' Rev. J. W. Holmes, Clinton.
Mr. Holmes has had much to do with
young people's movements since its or-
ganization and his remarks on this sub-
ject were potnted and practical, He
thought the young people ought to pray
for their pastor and be ready at any mo-
ment's notice for active service and fill
up the ranks in Christian warfare. The
attendance at all church services was
also expected of every Endeavorer.
The Secretary's report showed an in-
crease of 6 societies and. 432 members,
making the total membership 3,278 for
67 societies; of these 6 are Junior Socie-
ties .with a membership of 191.
The societies numbering 100 and
over are: Presbyterian -Lochalsh, East
Ashfield, 141; Goderich, Knox, 129; Hen-
sel', 120; Seaforth, 110; Blyth, 105.
Methodist-Goderieh, North st,, 104;
Clinton, Rattenbury street, 101.
The following is a liet showing the 80-
cietie8 have 50 active members and
over: Methodist -Clinton, Rattenbury
Street 76; Goderich, North Street, 51;
Presbyterian-Goderich Knox, 11;
Blyth, 66; Hensall, 64; Seaforth, 60.
Local Unions have been formed in
Goderieheeforth, Clinton and with
wingham, which was Organized before, pacitY Mr. Cobbledick got a patient
the coming -year.
After the opening exercises of Wed•
beeday afternoon the first address was
by Miss Wilson, of Clinton, on the En
deavorers relation to mission work, The
aim should be to impart the greatest in-
formation along missionary lines and
to adopt some systematic way of giving.
She reviewed the tield of missiou work,
eondensing an immense amotuat of in-
formation into a:half hour seholarly ad-
dress.
TheT
President's address was the mixt
in order but unfortunately the presi-
dent could not be present for which the
delegates were very.sorry, his address
therefore was not given.
The Past President oceupied the chair
during the President's absence; all were
pleased to see him in that position and
everything, was satisfactorily carried
out in his (Rev, G. H. Cobbledick)
charge.
"Sabbath Observance" was the sub-
ject of the next address given by Mr,
John Kerr, of Wiughatn. Great credit
is due Mr, Kerr for having prepared his
subject on slime notice and also for
keeping his promise to the Executive
by coming' to the Convention although
in very poor health, His remarks were
very practical and it was a faithful in-
tereetation of the Divine command, "six
days shalt thou work and rest the Sev
euRthe.:. Mr, Priest, President of the Bap-
tist Young People's Union of Ontario
and Quebec, was introduced to the Con-
vention and extended their kindest
greetings. Mr Priest is to leave in a
few months to enter India as a mission-
ary.
Rev. RN. Barna, B. A, of Toron
was now ilatroduced. He gave an
dress ou "Bible Study" which we wo
like very much to have printed in f
but space will not permit of it. We ho
the suggestions of Mr. Burns will
acted. upon by every delegate.
The report of the Boston Conventi
was giyen by Miss M. S. Washingto
of Clinton. To listen to her one wou
almost imagine themselves at the Co
vention listening to such orators
Wooley, Moody, Clark. and seeing t
sights of Boston. We hope to see t
report in print before manyweeks.
"Systematic Visitation" as an aid
the pastor was the next address, give
by H. A. McPherson, of Seafort
'Visitation when properly done an
doue systematically by Endeavore
would be a veep help to the pastor an
it is something every Society ought
develop among its members.
The report of the Nominating Com
mittee was accepted and the followiu
are the officers for the coming' year:
President, Dr, Ferguson, Blyth; Is
Vice President, Rev. Mr. Becke

The "Question Drawer," under th
charge of Mr. F. Elford, Holmesville
brought out a number of practice
points and Mr. Elford is to be congrat
ulated on his having answered them
so satisfactorily. This brought th
afternoon session to a close and th
delegates adjourned to the Methodis
church where tea had been provided
We are safe in saying that a mor
social and enthusiastic crowd of young
people neyer before were assembled it
Huron County, A magnificent spread
had been prepared in the basement o
the church and the local societies are
to be congratulated on their splendid
arrangements,
On the walls were placed suitable
mottoes and in every available plane
flowers and greens were tastily arrang-
ed.
The Wednesday evening sessicn was
opened with a long service under Mr.
Becker's supervision and consisted of
a solo, duet, quartette and congrega-
tional siuging.
The reports of the Finance and Reso
Jutfoii COMMIttee were presented by
the Secretary and Rev. Mr, Bond, both
reports were adopted.
. The following are the resolutions:
That the very cordial thanks of this
Convention be presented to the Mana-
gers, of this church for its use during
