An exchange thinks that about the most daceerous bait that the armor can bite at is long credit. It looks easy to buy goods on time and pay for them in future, but there is a sharp and strong hook beneath it all The price paid is usually large enough to pay the interests and part of the bad debts made by trusting those who iaever pay.

The brethern. present recorded their satisfaetion at seeing the moderator, ;lir.

The session re cords of the renewing, congregations were examined and attested, viz Ex eter, etc., Brueefield, Seaforth, Clinton, Hehsall, Biytie Hallett. etc,, Thames Rand. Grand Bend, etc., McKillop, ate, and Goderich. Reports on state of re tigion and Sabbath scboots were de layed till next meeting. The remits' ou the "Examination of students," and the ". Ootletitiltion of Assembly," were'. disposed of. With regard to the latter it was agreed to recommend that the representation in the supreme court consist of one sixth instead of otte fourth of the members on the roll, as in the past. The chief reasons advane- ed for this reduction in the number of commissioners and the difficulty of providing homes for so large a num ber during the meeting of Assembly, and the expanses of travelling, etc Rev. W. Muir, of Brucefield, tendered the resignation of his pastoral charge. Regret was expressed at the necessity of this step being taken by Mr. Muir, fu considering the harmony which bas always prevailed between Mr. Muir and his people, and their warm attach ment to him, The resignation will be disposed of at next meeting.

The evangelistic services commenced last Sunday morning in the James Street church. As announced Miss Morton, of Toronto, had charge of the services. She was assisted by the pas tor, who gave her a suitable introduc- tion. She briefly related the manner in which she was called to this special work. Her recital of some facts of her home life made a deep impression upon the minds and hearts of the cougrega tion and prepared her way for a sue cessful day's services. The congrega tions was very large and evidently deeply interested in the Evangelist and her work. The sermon was brief, prac- tical and impressive. All who listened felt that the speaker's heart and life were consecrated to God's service Without dismissing the congregation she conducted an after meeting both for church members and the uncon- verted. The entire service prepared the congregation to co operate with the Evangelist in her future work. Her voice is very full and clear and well controlled. She has no trouble in reaching the most distant hearer in this large church She speaks with great fluency and a style and manner so cul tivated as to place her beyond criticism. These powers are evidently consecrat- ed to the service of God. At the even- ing service the seating capacity of the church was fully tested. The subject of the evening sermon gave full scope to the speaker's powers of both mind and heart. The sermon was evidently well prepared. It was clothed in the choicest language and forcibly deliver- ed. Nearly the entire congregation remained for the after service. Dur- ing the after service it was very im- pressive to see the profound attention and intense interest of all classes and ages both in the gallery and the body of the church. The work of the day assured the Evangelist of the hearty co operation of the membership of the church during her stay. There is room in this large congregation for a large ingathering. The services of the week evenings show that the attendance will be very large, both from town and country. Men and women young and oid have assembled.`'. The Evangelist, the pastor and the congregation have good reason for both hope and encour— agement. ' Warning.
