Vreclitoli,
(Received too lade for lest deme
1'o Editor /If the Ratter Vines.
I thought a tow items from this
circuit may be of some interest to
/your Methodist readere. Our first
Quarterly Religious meeting was ap-
pointed for Aug 10th, and a000rding-
ly was hetd, The Rev. J. H. Eynon,
of Exeter, ,vas invited by the .aster,'
to come out and preach, and he vary
heartily consented. He selected for
his text, Canticles, or. Sol Song, P1II,
7 verse, and from that portion of God's
Word, our aged brother preached a
most .appropriate sermon. The best
of attention was given. It was a
long time ago, so many in Crediton
Church spoke of the goodness of God,
and partook of the Lord's Supper, as
did last Suuday morning. Many felt
the presence of the Master, and ex-
claimed when on the Mount, "Lord
it is good for us to be here."
Tuesday, August 12th, was the day
appointed for the business quarterly
meeting of the circuit. Some said it
was such a busy time there would not
be many of the brethren attend, but
there were fifteen took narb in the
business of the day. I am sure yon
will say well clone, Crediton circuit.
Some of thein felt they were making
a little sacrifice in leaving just after
dinner with a team for the .quarterly
meeting while others were binding
and drawing; their grain, bub they
name, and, 1Ie. E+ ditor, they will he
none the worse for it this time next
year. Go"d says : "they that honor
me, wilt I honor." They came in the
name of the Lord, did their work as
Christian gentlemen and brethren.
The financial part, which is generally
the "tug of war," was easily put
through to the satisfaction of all, 1
believe, which is not often the case ;
but
such is the beginning of the newly
arranged circuit, A lot of those com-
posing this circuit voted against union
and some will not even yield now, yes
we are ;vetting things in pretty good
sha')e, and we hope by the end of the
year. if we are spared, by the blessing
of God, to find things nnuving on
as peacefully as if uothiug had taken
place.

Scott Act Notes,
A proclamation declares the ;lana•
da Temperance Aol hi Porde in Yer-
mouth, N. S. The question of the re:
peal of the Caned* Temperance Act
will be enbmithed to a vote of the
electors in Hallen an the 91h of
September.
The Qrillie Packet publistbee the
following Aim;
men well known in Oro, anal wlho came
here from Halton, rioited 61iltou lately, lie
stayed three days at theWallaoe House, and
claw no liquor sold, though he .kept his weath-
er aye" o ee. Ile Abend -all the appointments
at the hotel as good as formerly, and the
charges the sarue, With the additional advau-
tage of froednui from the acocnpanizxzeute ,of
liquor drinking. Ile says that frons bis on -
serration, not ono fiftieth of the gnautity of
liquor formerly drunk is sold theta now,
Treating and open drtnklug et the bar, at
least, ars deluge of the past."
The effect of the Governnlent'rl de-
cision on the repeal petition le that
immediately after the Act bas been
voted upon to any ooustitnency, the
defeated party may at once renew the
agitation, and cirouleto petitions pray
log for another vote to bo taken. This
rtiay be the atrial leiter of the law,bul
it certainly is far from the spirit or
intention of it. The government may
as welt make up ite mind that temper
anee people are not to be (hoodwinked
any longer, and wilt on every occasion
assay# their right to have fair play
meted out to them or know the reason
why. The temperance people in Hal -t
tan are determined to sustain the Act,`
though opposed by fearful odds. The
majority by which it was adopted--
W.—was amen, but even that is by no
mean an indication that temperance
sentiineut is Halton is a weak and.
sickly aeatimeutal thing. The records
of oar police court during the past 2
yours show that Halton temperanee
people are made of the right stuff, as
they have stuck close by thio enemy
throughout, and mon many a trophy
in the oonfliot. Some Motel -keepers
who have gone out of businose are en-
gaged in other avocations and doing
tired. It is said if the Act be carried
again ail the leading hotel -keepers in
the county will give up the business,
and either start something else or go
out of the county. This certainly
shows that the Act has some grip m
it. --Halton Net's.

Bad Medicine.
A young physician who had iongwar-
ehipod at a distance was one day sud-
denly called to attend her. He found
her suflenng from no particularly dan-
gerous iu f Pty, but she wanted him to
to prescribe for her nevertheless; so he
took her hand and said impressively:
"Well, I should—preseribe—I should
prescribe that--you—get—married."
"Oh, goodness!" stud the interesting
invalid, "who would marry me, I won-
der?"
"1 would," snapped the doctor, with
all the voracity of a six-foot pickerel.
"You," exclaimed the maiden.
"Yes."
"Well, doctor, if that is the fearful al-
ternative, you can go away and let me
die in peace."
V
glad to see you,
How's the folks at home?"
The countryman looked over the
young man carefully, and being satisfied
that he could take care of himself, made
a movement as if he was about grasp-
ing the young nlan'S hand, but instead
of so doing he took him by the coat col-
lar, faced him about so that he looked
upon the city hall park, held him firm-
ly in position and then gave him a kick
which sent him sprawling into the street.
Another young loan, evidently a friend
of the assaulted youth; rushed up and
demanded to know the trouble: The 1
countryman had become warmed by this
time, and endeavored to inflict punish-
meut.on number two, but he escaped.
The countryman then quietly walked
away, muttering to 'himself, "I h ain't
been reading the papers nigh onto forty
years for northing, and them .confident
men must try a new game when they
scoop in this old sinner."
