The Huron County Council met in Brussels last week. In connection therewith the Brussels Post has the following to say: "Who will be the Warden next year? According to the rule established it will go to a member adhering to the Conservative faith and among the most likely aspirants is the genial Hugh Spackman of Exe- ter, and happy "Bob" McLean of the town of Goderich. It is said Warden Miller might be eligible for another term if he'd promise to change his pol- itics hut even the allurements of the chief chair will hardly be sufficient to divert him from the ways of his youth. Spackman is the likely man.' The motion of the Post is heartily second- ed by the Advocate. Pickard -Scott.

Graham, B.A., pastor of the First Methodist church, London, who preached at the anniversary ser- vices of the James street Methodist church on Sunday last, was greeted by large congregations loth morning and evening, as well as a very large attend- ance of Sunday School scholars and others in the afternoon. In the even- ing the church was filled to overflow- ing, there being over one thousand people present. In fact the attend- ance was the largest since the re -open- ing several years ago. Rev. Graham) is the son of a former pastor and is re- membered by many of the residents of town as a yotith who attended the Ex- eter school. He is quite a young man but has gained for himself wide repute as one of the foremost ministers of the Methodist church in Canada. All were anxious to hear the young man and none were disappointed, he hav- ing frilly sustained his reputation as e brilliant and forceful preacher. His discourses were on subjects of vital in- terests to the church and clothed in the language of the simplest and pur- est English. The young man possesses much of the style and address of his father and his hearers were in many ways forcibly reminded of the elder man while listening to the admirable discourses with which they were fa- vored. Exceptionally beautiful an- thems were swing by the choir which was assisted by Mr. fink of London, wht, rendered very pleasing solos at each of the services. That the singing of Mr. Pink was good goes without saying. as no greater compliment could be paid the soloist than that which he received by being engaged after having delighted the congrega- tions at the Main street church the previous Sunday. Our comments on that being applicable to the later occa- sion. The open session of the Sunday school in the afternoon was a pleasing feature of the anniversary. Thr as- sistant siiperintende•nt, Mr. Sanntel Martin, and Rev. Graham gave brief addresses and Mr l'ink sang. A free- will offering was taken at all the ser- vices and in total amounted to about to $2.,0. in every way the anniversary occasion saes 0 very pleasing success. A•ld;ti•,nal Locals on page 1.
