I)o not for- get this. James St. Anniversary Immense congregationsgreeted Itev. Solomon Cleaver of the Metropolitan church, Toronto, at the arrnivet'sary services of the James street Methodist church on Sunday. It took that large church all its time to hold the number who were anxious to hear Dr. Cleaver. The preacher is one of the eloquent men of the Methodist church and all who heard hint were well pleased. The choir, assisted by Mr. INRs. Berry who gave a cornet solo, furnished special and much appreciated music. Thecontributions for thedayaubounted to $2210. "Not by power nor by strength, but by my spirit" was the morning subject. from which was preached it very fcrcefnl and practical sermon. In the evening the lesson was taken front Ezekiel's vision of the waters issuing out from under the threshold of the house of the Lord eastward. lit the course of the ser- mon he said the stream signified the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. its origin was in the foundation of the house of God. God's plan was to build on a livingfoundation. A church built on a fundation of fine music, or building or preacher brought only ruin and disaster. God's plan was that the people should enter the church by the living stream. Those who entered t;y the back door of avarice, respectability or orthodoxy were a hindrance to the church. The influence of the stream was to transform everything to life and beauty just as Christ's gospel does. The direction of the stream was to- ward the desert where it was most needed. So Christ standing on the threshold of heaven came to the desert world to heal and cure the people of sin. The stream's destiny was to the healing and beautifying of all the land just as the destiny of the religion of Christ is to bring life and healing as it flows through the desert of human woe and want and sin. JEAN VAi. JEAN "A good story and well told" was the frequently heard retnark of those who heard Dr. Cleaver deliver his cel- ebrated lecture or story in the church on Monday evening. A very large number were present, the receipts amounting to nearly $15n. The meet- ing was opened by an anthem by the choir, followed by a short prayer by Rev. Andrews of Crediton, lifter which Rev. Going introduced the speaker of the evening. For two hour's end ten minutes the large audience listened spellbound to the intensely interesting and very pathetic story of Jean Val Jean. a simple peasant character in Victor Hugn's remarkable work "Les Miserables." Dr. Cleaver has a pleas- ing voice, a flue physical appearance. Rood facial expression, is a very clever imitator, while hie word -picturing is mat kable. The story is full of whop, ,nilly and tragedy and could not it to please all who heat(1 it. Jean, ignorant French peasant steals a of of bread to feed a starving family, is arrested, tried and sentenced to eve five years as it galley slave. For tempting to escape, etc., his sent - co is increased to nineteen year's. Ile is finally released but has to show a character passport wherever he goes. He is scorned and repnitted everywhere until he is taken in one night by a French bishop whose kindness con vine - es Jean that there is some good in the world. lir reforms,, becomes rich and powerful, but gives himself up to save another who is about to be condemned in his stead. He is sent into slavery again but escapes and after seeking out a little girl who had been left in his care they lead a fugitive's life in Paris for many years, until he finally dies a hero's death.

Nothing has been decided upon, although several places are being con- sidered. The south end of the town land the old tultt•ket square seem to be the favorites, with the balance in fa- vor of the south end. The surveyors are at present working this side of Kirkton. Alr. Hyde expects to be here again on Friday. Judicious Xmas. giving. This is the season when greetings are extended to everybody from every- body. Some times teal sentiments are given expression to and sometimes there is nothing more than the most formal formality. Now is the time above all tinges in the year when friend sends present to friend. It is quite right that it should be so, bait we think that sometimes the desire to appear well in the eyes of someone else is car'r'ied beyond a proper limit. Much money will be spent during the next few days. Many articles, both useful end useless, will he purchased and given away. The infant tnust have the tin rattle, the bo • may need the tin whistle, and the head of the family must provide the tin to provide the tin toys. Is he able to do so? Is be in such financial circumstances that he can do so without depriving some one else of the payment of an honest debt? Now it seems to us that a man should provide first for what he owes, then consider how much he can spend on those he doesn't owe. Be just first, then generous after. Frayne-Korslako Nuptials. The comfortable home of Mr. Rohl. Kerslake was all astir on Wednesday, Dec. 11, the occasion being the mar- riage of his eldest daughter, Hiss Al- menn, to Mr. INRs. Frayne, son of Mr. James Frayne, both of Usborne. At six o'clock, while the sweet strains of the wedding march, played by Miss Jennie Frayne, sister of the groom, floated through the parlor, the groom entered and took his place underneath an arch, which was profusely decorat- ed with evergreens and flowers. Here he awaited the coming of the bride, who soon appeared reclining on the arni of her father. About sixty guests had assembled to witness the tying of the knot. which was performed by Rev. A. H. Going. The bride was ar- rayed in a beautiful costume of white figured mull, trimmed with valen- cinttes lace and insertion, and wore an exquisite bridal veil, ornamented with orange blossoms, the whole making a charming picture. Her going away town was of navy-blue silk with white bat to match. After the congratu- lations had been tendered to the hap- py couple all repaired to the spacious dining room where one of the tnost sumptuous and delicious repasts ever prepared was partaken of and enjoyed by all. The remaining part of the ev- ening was spent in music, speeches and social chat. The bride was the recipi- ent of a large array of handsome and useful gifts, an indication that she is highly esteemed and beloved by her many friends. Atnor,g the gifts was a Dominion organ, a remembrance from her father. Mr. and Mrs. Frayne will reside on the 2nd concession of l'sborne. The Advocate joins with the host of well-wishers in extending to the young couple their hearty con- gratulations for their future happiness and prosperity. Would it not be advisable just now for the citizens of the town to form a "Railway Committee" to act in con- .tnction with the council to secure the best possible location for the station of the railway now being surveyed frotn St. Marys? The situation of the sta- tion is of vital interest to the town and such a committee would be able to meet the surveyors and discuss the matter intelligently and with some authority. Khiva J.
