HER MAJESTY THE •HEN.
Within very recent years the, lien of
Canada a has become a very conspic-
uous
ons'c-nous object both for her general im-
provement in appearance and her val-
ue as a money maker,. Thirty mill-
ion clallars worth of eggs is given as

of comparison 'this suis six Imes
more than all the sheep; two and a
half times more than, all the fruit
products of Canada. The comparison
is still more striking when the cattle
and horses are compared with the hen.
The value of the egg productiort is
given as 'two-thirds of the value of
an the horses, and one-half the value
of all the cattle. In this comparison
the value of the poultry, is not taken.
For this district sixty thousand dol-
lars would be a moderate estimate as
the contribution going to make the
total of thirty million: There arena

ter Fair held Jan. 18-21., .an exhibit of

made an Ideal chairman, The first
speaker, Mr. May, of London, referred
to our Canadian heritage, the resour-
ces of the country and the grand out-
look for us as Canadians. He said
when this great war was over there
would be a great influx of immigra-
tion to this country. A people filled
with all manner of ideas and xeligions,
and it was up Us us mea to prepare
to receive thews, and show theist the
way to the Cross. He also referred
to the overflow man, who did more
than his share , and laid particular
stress on the benefits received from
giving tithes. The principal sneaker
of the evening was Rev. C. E. Man-
n ng of Toronto, the Field Secretary
of dome Missions of the Methodist
Church followed with an. address,.
"The Why and How of a Man's Job—
'ere'
ob—
t e' Biggest and His ,$est.'s His in-
troductory remarks referred to an ex-
ae-;ence related to hint while in New
foundland of Dr. Wilfred. Grenfell,
who nearly perished on an ice -flow,
and by his remarks wished to show
that if it hadn't been for a few hardy
fishermen who risked their lives to
save the Doctor he would have been
lost and they disgraced by not want-
n, to brave "re perils of the lea.
So men must brave the trials and suf-
fering of this :life, if. they wish to do
a man"s job in missionary work. He
than spoke of the causes of the pre-
sent war, The. question has been ask-
ed why waste time and,lives in christ-
ianizing the heathen, who will turnand
destroy us some day. The present
war in which the Christian nations of
the world are engaged is not an ac-
count of the teaching of Christianity,
but for the lack of it. Rev. Becker
spoke a few words and referred to
doing our whole duty in life, no mat-
ter what stations we have. The ad-
dresses were listened to with great
interest and the witty anecdotes kept
the assembly in good humor. A mo-
tion, of thanks was moved by Dr. Orme
seconded by Edward Dixon, to the
speakers end another by Mr. M. South -
cots. seconded by Mr. T. Harvey of
Exeter to the ladies, were adopted by
standing vote. During the evening's
program. a male quartette sang, "Steal
Away," Mr. Sambrook sang a solo
and Mr• Frank Taylor a missionary
song composed for' the occasion by
Rev. Jefferson to the tune of Tilpper-
ary.. This meeting will be long re-
membered by the men of this vilIag;e
and neighborhood and we hope will
enliven the Missionary spirit. Those
who were. present were certainly priv-
ileged guests. We congratulate Rev.
Jefferson and all those who so ably
helped in making the evening's pro-
gram such a happy success.
