The minutes of -the meeting; heldNov .24 were read and approved. A circular letter from the Hydra - Electric Power Commiss'n of Ontar_o Re. proposed by-law to be submitted to the ratepayers of the various mun- iehpalitiee was read and deterred un- til action be taken on the by( -law later in the evening.

The anniversary services of ° the Janes St. Dtethodist church were held on Sunday .last when Rev, W. G. Howson of London, preached twomost eloquent sermons.. Large aongregate ions were present 'both morning and' evening, the 'church beim filled at the +latter service. The ,pastor, 'Rev.! J. W. !Baird was home for the day and assisted with the services and in the evening, 'Rev. 8. W'. :Aux - worthy, u.x-•worthy, 1Rev. J. 7). Nestle, and Deo. I J. G. Yelland also took part in ,the ' services. The choir furnished some excellent music for the oceasion. Rev, Mr. I.liowson, is an 'able pulpit, orator' and his sermon, were uplifting and inspiring In the evening be took his text eter Hydro Electric System 231.11;' from 2 Cor., P. 9; "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, that ye through. his poverty might become rich." The speaker said that this subject was the marvel of the ages that Obrist who was so rich, chat for oursa.kes he became poor. Men have strange ideas of God. They think of him far away and unconcerned of man's des- tiny. Before .Christ's Incarnation 'He was rich. Our estimate of man's wealth is his possession in real es- tate. bonds, stocks and bank account. We read "The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof" "The Sil- ver and sil-•verand the gold, and the cattle upon a thousand thills are nine." Get be- yond this world and look over the planetary system, which after all is but a meagre speck in the universe of God. Pass from system to system from world to wbrld. Above are worlds below are worlds. Our imagination is blinded and staggers before the magnitude of these creations. No wonder the poet writes "there is no beginning, there is no end." Earth must bow her head end do obeisance to her King. The second thought is that Chri.,at during his incarnation was poor. The incarnation was a tremendous descen- sion. The circumstances of his birth was an unparallel humiliation. Jesus Christ tool.' upon himself a human body and travelled the milestones of human di£e as we do to -day ; the same paths of experience. ;Born of poor parents 'that he might know the dis- paragement of the peasant life and men cannot say he did not know our trials, but out of his experience he can give sympathy to the needy, When. Jesus Christ came to our world the earth opened to him a stable door Looking 'back over the records, did he ever own a house, a field, a vineyard or a room? Fye was so poor he didn't own the boat in which he sailed, •a home in which late lived, a beast on which the rode. or a pillow on which he slept. When the world took inven- tory sof his belongings all he had+ was the clothes that he wore; and when he eras buried he was buried; int an- other man's sepulchre. Ha hecame poor for our sakes. At the, end of the journey be fell a victim to hate, and the dogs were let loose upon .Christ J.Low the was hounded. At his trial. justice, equity and mercy were pros- tituted and Christ submitted meekly to humble .himself to the death of e the across. Elsie poverty. was voluntary for our sakes. 'Thera is not( a boy in Exeter knows how rich he is in a mother's dove and their isy riot a Christian who can value the sense of Divine forgiveness of ;sin, the joy and gladness you have in Christ, nor the removal of the sting of; death. The speaker asked how much you would :sell your religion; for? A; thou, sand plotters? a ten thousand dollar farm in Usborne? twenty -:live or two hundred :thousand dollars? He `didn't think there was n man in the congre- gation who would sell this religion for any sum the speaker might offer. His concluding thought was 'the riches of the heavenly kingdom. He was waiting to be admittted to the New Jerusalem. Through the ,crim- son :blood. and the Crosse of, Christ: we can inhabit the mansions prepared for the faithful. There axe some who. have ,sever found this wealth be- cause they have never found the Christ. An 'Anniversary offering of $1000 was 'asked for and over $900 was re- ceived and it is expected the bal., ance twill be forthcoming in a few days. H. E.. Huston 10.00; Jas. Connor 40.011 Thos.

Councillors, 'Heavens, Hind and Rare ton. have all been spoken of for the' position and any one of then could fill it well. Other names have also been mentioned. There is no doubt that (Exeter has some oababie men that mould grace the Magistrate's chair, but with 'due regard to these the interests of the town would be best served by (selecting a man who has served 1313 term in: the council. who is in talose, touch with the need; and financial situation of the town :Besides after a man has served his town for several years in the cap- acity of councillor, it is only fitting that ;he 'should be honored with the higher office. No doubt one or more of the councillors will aspire for the reeveship which will mean' some new blood for the council. With two By- laws Ito be submitted to the ratepay- ers, a vote must be taken and no doubt before many ;days a stir will appear in the tanks of the aspirentas.
