The :liethodist Episcopal Church ha
the United States, like the Methodist
denomination he Canada, has a 20th
century scheme on hand, though it
proposes to raise $20,000000 to the
Canadian Methodists' $1,000,000, The
money will be devoted to charitable
and educational institutions maiutain
ed by the Methodist Church, and is
probably the targets sum which any
church ever undertook to raise. The
movement is not .to be limited to the

The victim purposed leaving the city
for Windsor, and was in the act of

Lines on a friend's visit to St. Ann,
Quebec. Written for THE ADvOt'ATE.
I'm requested to write a few verses for you,
On the journey you made to St. Ann;
And describe the tine scenes and the grand
mountain view,
And I will do the best that I can.
Then allow me to t:ay. every mile of the
way
Seems to tell of a power that's divine;
For scenes rich and rare in abundance were
there,
And some were exceedingly fine.
Where the St. Lawrence smiles on its beau-
tiful isles,
Where a thousand of them can be seen,
Where the rapids respond to the waters be-
yond,
In Montmorency's turbulent stream.
Where the cataracts roar to the rocks on
the shore,
And the white caps in myriads are seen,
Where the great mountain's range makes a
contrast so strange,
When robed in their mantles of green.
Although some people say it is too far away,
To go to that far distant part;
When the Saviour is near, every soul thatls
sincere
Will be granted the desire of their heart.
Yet we read that the Jews left their home.

And went up to the temple to pray.
And was not their Saviour to them jure as
near
As He is to His people to -day,
And when Naman was told to wash seven
times
The poor leper could not understand
Why the waters of Jordon had any more
cure
Thanwhat flowed through his own native
land.
And that clear crystal front that flows from
the mount,
On which stands the sacred shrine,
Every soul that's sincere they can see won-
ders here,
And the works of a hand that's divine.
Every duty you do the more blessings for
you,
And if you have any to spare,'
Well then you might send down a few for

But a President would be laughed at
who would call in some politician whom
he might wish to placate or to help,
and make him a " Minister without

two or three millions of popn1atio11,
under a Lieut. Governor and a regula r
cabinet of seven, who pretend it is ne
cessary to call in a new adviser in the
shape of a" Minister without portfolio "!
The Ontario Government does not need
a cabinet of seven men, much less
eight, Meanwhile it is instructive to
observe that even the trumpery honor

any farmer member or farmer candi
