There are many business inen,p rafes- sional men and others, who from Lime to time find themselves over stocked with clothes, that have perhaps be - conte a little out of date or slightly worn, They do not want to destroy then, but, find it inconvenient to have thein given to deserving •people. Per- haps an organization could be formed to devise some method of handling clothes of this description; Probably if such were done one or two clays a month might be set 'aside for the collection caul distribution of clothes. In the meantime deserving cases could be reported to the officers of the organization and a good ttiork` could be done. . Ve have s ctetrasand as- sociations galore belt not one of them seems to be doing a work • of .this kind which to .our mind could be made of. great benefit to the community. We have in 'mind' 't case of recent ,,late where a man found himself in nose-' ession of a quantity of wearing ap- parel which he wished :td see placed with needy people. He reported the matter to us and after some enquiry. the goods were well placed, and ev- erybody was happy, Every one of the 46 municipalities in Ontario now using hydro anergy has reported a surplus for the past .nine months. The smallest surplus was 10 per cent. and the largest 52 per cent.

D. Williams, D. 0., the Bishop of Huron, administered the rite of Confirmation to a class of young ladies, prepared and presented by the Rector Rev. D. W. Collins, in the Trivitt Memorial Church Sun- day morning at the 'a.m. service. In introducing the subject the preacher reviewed the circumstances under which the text was given. Our Lord had just commissioned *he apostles and sent them out. They were called to high office, and, endur- ing honor • What words had Christ for the disciples, who remained at home, and incidentally to all the sum- bee workers in every age of the Chris - tiara church ? In beautiful language the sympathy of Christ was shown with those oc- cupying a lowly and subordinate pos- ition. "The ” widow and the Levi mites the giving of a cup of cold water etc,” •Sympathy with a cause would determine the reward. ,Not what we have done, but what we would do it we had the opportunity In common law the receiver of stolen goads, knowing them to be stolen, is equally .guilty with the actual offend- er. So ill connection' with great mov- rnents of nations, the work of proph- ets,, statesmen, leaders and philan- tliropists. The sympathy of the fol lowers enabled: them to perpetuate fol -, the ultimate rewards. • In striking . language the Bishop showed how this view of Christ's es- timate affected: our faith;; the for- Hiveness of sins; the work of the oly spirit. Sympathy with Christ, and sympa- thy with his work, in other words un- ion with Christ,. or .quote St. Paul's favorite expression, :"In Christ," de- termined our faith, made the forgive- ness of sins a realizedpossibility and enabled the ,spirit of God to oper- ate in our. lives, The congregation, which was .a very large one •fully appreciated the ser - moil and will long remember the visit of this "Father in God." A full choral service was rendered by a large choir, the newly confirm- ed candidates will partake of. their first Communion next. Sunday, Ad- vent Sunday. EXETER COUNCIL Council anet in the Town.
