ESTABLISHED 187)i TUE WINlilAM TIMES. . B. ELLIOTT, PUBL BH$R AND PROPIETOR THURSDAY, SEPTEM13ER 25, 1.913 THE NEW LIBERAL MONTHLY. (Toronto Star.) The Canadian Liberal Monthly repre- sents perhaps the first attempt to pro- duce in Canada a paper of the type of the London Nation. It is avowedly Liberal, as the Nation is, but it regards the name Liberal as standing fur certain fundamental principles, to be discussed and maintained in such a manner as to appeal to all thoughtful men. One of these principles is self-gov- ernment. The`first great battle of the Liberals in Canada was for self gov- ernment, In one sense it was a party fight; in another it was not. Reformers and Conservatives fought for what they believed to be right. But when the battle was won the victory was not for the party but for the State. All Cana dians shared in the benefit of self-gov- ernment. The career of Sir John A. MacDonald, a Conservative, would hay - been impossible except under self-gov- ernment. We are now engaged in a controversy of the same kind. Parties may disagree and honestly disagree. Free and full discussion must be good, and we wel- come this new forum of discussion. When the battle is over, and is decided in the right way, as we are sure it will be, all Canada, irrespective of party, will enjoy the benefit of the victory. DISTRIBUTION OF PURE BRED ANIMALS. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Senate divorce mill promises to break the record this session. Last year forty-two cases were dealt with by the Senate. Already this year there are fifteen cases on the list, which is headed by the application of Lorne Hamilton, who has twice already tried and failed to obtain divorce. Under the heading "Time for Plain Speech," The Daily Standard (Inde- pendent Conservative), in a two -column editorial leader, comes out strongly against the bilingual policy of the Whit- ney Government, declares that Dr. Pyne, the Minister of Education, should be removed from office for his "spineless" administration, and warns Sir James Whitney that it will not be well for him "to let this dolorous Minister of Educa- tion be the means of raising an issue in this Province the end of which no man can foresee, save this, that it will be a cross of thorns upon which eventually the Conservative party in Ontario will be crucified." "Did we do right," shouted Provincial Treasurer Lucas addressing a meeting during the East York campaign. "when we decreed that English shall be the only language taught in our public schools." By an audience where the anti-bilingualists predominated the question was answered naturally by a thunder of affirmation. Yet Mr. Lucas must have known when he spoke that his Government had surrended to the bilingualists and so modified the school regulations as to permit the teaching of French to all those who elect to learn it instead of English. The official announcement to this effect was wisely withheld by the Government until the danger of its being made an issue in East York was safely passed. -St. Thomas Journal. As announced early in the season, the Dominion Live Stock Branch has this year undertaken a +distribution of pure bred male animals throughont Canada on a somewhat extensive scale. In inaugurating this policy the aim has been to aid sections where pure bred sires were lacking and to encourage new communties in following an intelli- gent system in breeding. This form of assistance has proven very popular and during the past few months a large number of bulls and several stallions have been placed in various parts of the country in the hands of local asso- ciations formed specially for the purpose of handling and maintaining them. All animals placed remain the property of the Departmeut of Agriculture, the local associations assuming the respon- sibility for the maintenance and management under the general super vision of officers of the Live Stock Branch. The distribution of bulls and stallions having been brought to a close for this year the opportunity is now open to deal with applications for boars and rams. Full information regarding the rules governing the distribution and the procedure to be followed in forming the necessary organization may be had upon application to the Live Stock Commissioner, Ottawa.

SMITH Manager, 'Wingham Epworth League Convention (Continued from Page 1.) sible to him that believes. A leader may lack many qualities, but if he is fully yielded to God, He will use him and the league members in winning souls for Him. Speaking of the possi- bilities of life by a fully surrendered will to God, he gave a living illustration of a person whose will was not yielded. If we go back to our leagues with a full determination to be of service to God, and overcome difficulties and thus save souls through our churches, leagues and Sunday schools, we shall win, because God who is at the head of affairs, He cannot lose. If God be God, then light is light, And right the day must win, To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin. The Wingham Ladies' Quartette of the Methodist Church rendered a beau- tiful piece entitled "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." THE DOMINION BANK N=' ERR EDMUND B. OSLER, M.P., PRESIDENT. W. D.

EVANS, Manager. EMI land, through individual effort through the League, the Sunday School, and the home, by our standard of moral purity and sympathic spirit, seeking to win others for the Master. Rev. J. Lang- ford B. A. gave an address on "Our Call to the Foreign Field". In the closing session of the League Convention the chair was taken by the Rev. J. W. Andrews, of Fordwich, after which a paper was read very ably by Rev. Mrs. Hibbert in the absence of Miss J. Rands, on the subject of Our Unworked Mine, pointing out the fact that our junior League was the un- worked mine, and speaking of the great possibilities that lay before us, amongst, the rising:generation; that the junior League was the training ground for our senior League and that 50 per cent. of our children were lost to the church between the ages of 11 and 16 years. Hence the need of pastors and teachers to care for the young. The commitment service was ably presided over by the Rev. J. W. Hibbert, assisted by Bro. pastors. The service was preceded by an able and touching address by the Rev. A. Kellam of Ripley after which a good number partook of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper and dedicated themselves to God. It was a fitting close to one of the best conventions ever held in Wingham. Thanks were given to the trustees of the church for their kindness and also to the Wingham friends, for their hospitality and kindness to the visiting delegates and friends to the convention. JAS. W. PENROSE. Sept. 20th, 1913. The Rev. F. H Langford, B.A., Field Secretary, an able speaker, addressed the convention on the subject of "God and I" or "The waste, conservation and use of human and Divine resources." Mr. Langford speaking of the resources that are unrenewable, he mentioned the great coal fields, where millions of tons of coal have been taken out and cannot be replaced, and that possibly in 50 years more they will be exhausted. He also spoke of the great forests in Can- ada and the possibility of utilising the ground when it was cleared, which otherwise might be waste. Also of the waste by burning the straw in Saskat- chewan, and robbing the soil of its benefits, and thus showing that it is criminal to waste things that are un - renewable, he also revealed the fact that speculations were being indulged in among us by some for the sake of dimes and dollars, that were producing slums in the congested areas of our cities and that meant a waste of our boyhood and girlhood, as well as of men and women. Millions of people have been lost by war, which means hell upon earth. Lotus conserve human life by peace propaganda and sacrificing ourselves for the saving of others by God's grace. The Hon. president, Rev. J. W. Hib- bert presided over the evening session and after the devotional exercises had been gone through, the nominating of new officers was proceeded with and the following appointed for the ensuing year, President, Mr. E. A. Hammond; 2nd Vice President, Rev. D. Wren; 1st Vice President, J. W. Rivers, B. A. B. D.; 3rd Vice President, Miss Jennie Harrington; 4th Vice President, Mr. Frank Howson; 5th Vice President, Mrs. Rev. A. J. Langford; Secretary and Treasurer, J. W. Slemmon; Conference Representive Rev. J. E. Cook. After a few remarks by Mr. Hammond the new President of the Epworth League relative to the honor and responsibility and work of the League, the Rev. J, F. Knight, B. A., Conference Secretary spoke on the subject of "The Call to Our Home Field". Our brother spoke very ably on the subject. He urged the manifestation of a national spirit in the Service of God for the well being of others, referred to the call of the borne NOTES. The Methodist church choir gave ex- cellent service at the evening session. There were about 125 delegates. The complementary banquet to the delegates was greatly appreciated and much enjoyed. CHURCH NOTES. Rev. Ben. H. Spence, of Toronto, Secretary of the Dominion Alliance, preached in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning and in the Methodist church in the evening. At both service Mr. Spence spoke in the interests of temperance. At the Methodist Church next Sun- day will be Rally day. The paster will preach at both services. Subject in the morning will be, "Our Privileges"; an address to parents and teachers. In the evening there will be a sermon to young people, subject being, "How a slave and a girl defied an emperor and saved a nation." A special rally of the Sunday School will be held at 2.30 o'clock. The Rev. J. Primrose, of Whitehureh, addressed the Epworth League on Mon- day evening last. TURNBERRY The Young Ladies' Bible Class of Holmes' Sunday School spent a very pleasant time at the home of Mr. John Little, "Sherwood." As each lady had to bring a young man with her a great deal of amusement was caused and everybody enjoyed it and the evening was all that could be desired. After a good programme of songs, games, etc., refreshments were served and after the inner man was satisfied Mr. J. H. Link - later, teacher of the class, made a brief speech in which he explained that the class had been having a Bible Contest during the summer and the prizes were about to be awarded to the winners. Out of the five who had entered the contest three deserved a prize but Mr. Linklater explained that as he was a poor man he could not afford to give three, so Miss Hazel Little and Miss Velma Chandler were esi`ch presented with a volume of poems. The young ladies thanked their teacher in a few appropriate words. Mr. F. Buchanan and Mrs. John F. Linklater were the judges. The evening was brought to a close by all joining hands and singing Auld Lang Syne in true Harry Lauder style. EAST WAWANOWB.
