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. • Yours Truly NODRUH.

We must have room for fall 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 Auburn; 2nd Vice President, Miss 0 A. McKenzie, Seaforth; Secretary, A S. Washington, Clinton; Executiv Committee -Rev. Jos. Edge, Goderich ham. Rev. Muir, Brimfield; Rev. Jno. Ross Brussels; Rev, Jas. Hamilton, Wing 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 this Convention. -To the Local Com- mittee for their excellent work in pre- paration during the progress of our sessions. -To the families who have so hospitably received us into there homes. -To the railways for redueed fares,- To the Secretary, Mr, Cooper, for his efficient service.
