An interesting service' was held in the Methodist Church last Sunday morning when an infant baptismal service was held, conducted by the pastor. Five infants were baptized. A large congregation assembled in the evening when the pastor preached upon the subject, "Under -rated people", taking as the basis of bis sermon, 1st Samuel, 17 33, where Saul under-eetimated the power of David when he was prepared to challenge Goliath in the name of the living God. The pastor went on to show that there are people today, who are under -rated, but those who are allied with God, will eventually come to their own. Two Years' Work. A RECORD IN ADMINISTRATION. Here is what the Borden Govern- ment has done for the farmer in a little over two years :— Started and nearly completed the Hudson Bay Railway, providing a new grain route to the sea. Completed the Transcontinental at a saving in cost which will mean much to those paying the traffic charges in the future. Built a Government owned and operated grain elevator at the head of the lakes, and provided for a string cf interior terminal elevatore. Introduced legislation relaxing the terms of settlement on Dominion homestead lands. Revived the sheep and cattle Indus- try all over Canada. Swept away the duties oti traction ditching machines, upon which the far- mer paid a heavy duty under the Lib- eral Government. Taken five per cent from the duties on reapers, mowers and binders, thus placing these machines on a loci er basis than was provided under the reciprocity agreement. D.8. Hanna -- Bill Dan Bill and Dan The above quartette are the gentle- men, who with their lobbyists, have been working overtime at Ottawa, in order to secure Canada's money or Canada's credit for the building of railways, some of which are needed and some that are not. The Advance has taken the attitude that the com- mon people of Canada should cease to be slaves for relieved millionaires. As has been suggested from many quart- ers, the government should take over the C. N. R. and run le for tbe benefit and profit of the people, if MacKenzie and Mann cannot finance it. It is believed that they are well able to fidance it, if they would give as secur- ity their Interests in street railway* in various Canadian cities, their miaeral claims and a hundred and one other interests. This is the third session that the Borden Administration has been in power and each session, McKenzie and Mann have been along demanding mil- lions of tribute from the poor struggl• ing people of this country. This time they want something like forty-five millions of a guaratee. This means about six dollars per head for every man, woman and child in the Domin- ion. Wiugham's share will be fifteen thousand dollars and the Advance be- lieves that it would be better for our town, to loan their credit in guarantee- ing the bonds of some good factory than to be giving our credit for the same awout to Bill and Dan. No argument has been presented to the members that these roads are really needed. A third transcontin- ental is entirely unnecessary at the present time, You can scarcely travel very far in Ontario without coming across some unfinished work of. Bill and Dan, where an electric road is unnecessary. If they have been doing frenzied financing let them pay the piper as an individual must, If the people must give money and credit to build railroads, let them own them, and then travel for a very low rate as they do in countries where there are government owned railways. No arguments are put up that this railroad is an absolute necessity, but ,;he reasons given are that if Bill and Dan do not get this ficancial assistance a bank will be wrecked, other financial and industrial concerns will totter and fall and that there will be general in- dustrial chaos. This twaddle went last session, but it does not go this ses- sion, There will have to be new rea- sons advanced. A generous contribu- tion to campaign funds of political parties is no reason to give for subsi- dizing or guaranteeing bonds of rail- roads. In the .House of Commons on May 26, 1004, Mr. Borden gave utterance to the following :—"Shall we have a Gov- ernment-owned railway or a railway - owned Government?" Mr. Borden's action now on the 0. N, R. deal will be hie own answer. Mr. D. B. Hanna shown above is Vice -President, and Z. A. Lash, K. C„ is General Counsel, Mr. Lash is also Vice -President of the Canadian Bank of Commerce.

Mr. Rowell hie again introduced his, "Abolish the Bar," in the Legisla- ture, which gives he ani his colleagu es an opportunity, :annually to make campaign speeches for the next elec. ion. It Is a very easy matter for a political party in oppo,ition to pro- p tae radical changes, and ae Mr. Ro- well knows, it will be many years be- fore he will be called upon to forni a government, he can be most prodigal in promises. For thirty-four years the Liberal Government posed as a friend of temperance. They "played, deceived, promised, kicked and buffet- ed the temperance people about", yet Mr. Rowell stayed with his party throughout. When thousands of Liberate had turned wide from the maled-mini tration of the Ross Gov- ernment, Mr. Itowell'e voce wee beard throughout the length and breadth of the land, upholding every iniquitous thing. Yet, he now appeals to Con- servatives to leave their party owing to his abolish the bar plank, (which is his whole platform), in face of the stubborn fact that t titer e has been more true, permanent, advance in temperance during the nine years of Whitney tule than many times nine of Liberal rule, Prior to Whitney's ad• vent the License Law was not enforc. ed, consequently there was no en eouragenient to Temperance 'workere, The strict enforcement of law, in Licensed and Local Option Territories by Mr. Hanna has encouraged the Temperance forces and has assisted in holding the dry territories. It is free- ly admitted that the biggest vote get,. ter in the recent Scott Aet contest was promised "That 's d strict Mr.Mona has e T p Mr, enforcement and what M , Hanna bay*, he will do." The old Stott Act was a joke, simply became the Liberal Government of the day did nothing to enforce it.

This time the Scott Act will be en- forced and Huron will without a doubt be dry for all time. This time the Scott Act will be respected. It is quite possible to bring in reforms too sweepingly and then through lack of enforcement and weak public senti- ment, reaction set in. Tali ty or more years ago there was a sweep of Scott Act all over the province and we know the result. Temperance to -day is gaining steadily and pe. mauently and so long as the prt-sent administration keeps up their good record of law en- forcement, there will be no going back. The only difference. between the Scott Act of other days and to- day is that this government knows thele duty and will do it. Since the advent of the Whitney Administra- tion, until the present session, there have been thirty-nine amendments to the Liquor License Act, all tending in the direction of true, permanent tem- perance, and the end is not yet, as the Government is contemplating many more strict amendments. No Conser- vative need to be ashamed of the Tem- perance policy of the Wnitney Gov- ernment, for tnore has been more ad- vance in this line during the nir e years of the present government than in the thirty-four years of promise aed promise breaking, and refusal of enforcement of the previous govern- m'et.

To the Editor ;— "At the meetings of the United Kingdom Alliance in Manchester, England, leading doctors all over the world, incltd ng Chinese. Physiciane, of the highest teak and reputation in their ptofeselon were present. They all ep ke of alcohol as a dreadful pro- toplasmic poison which lowers the vitality and renders the system more liable to disease, especially consump- tion. This most terrible of all diseas- es is the most .deadly disease in the world. A great Paris doctor fouod that there was no question that the man who took alcohol in however small quantities introduced into his blood that which tremendously lower e d the power of the white cella to overcome the microbe, That has been proved directly and indirectly by statistics of persons who have visited Paris in order to be treated of various diseases." "Sir Arnold White has discovered that the germs of consumption are found in greatest numbers in the bedroom of a victim of tuberculosis, and that the second prolific site of this deadly enemy of mankind is the public barroom. Medical Officers of Health, including our owndistinguiske el Dr. Niven, are in perfect accord with that opinion." Some time ago the International Congress on Tuberculosis met in Paris, and was attended by the world's greatest experts in that disease. That Congress passed unanimously a reso- lution which they forwarded to the government of every country to the effect tbat the fight against tuber- culosis must everywhere be combined with the fight against alcohol. The doctors who passed that resolu- tion were not Temperance cranks but men who devoted their lives to the study of tuberculosis, and they said "If you are going to fight this you must simultaneously fight alcohol." In view of these facts what tomfoolery it is to talk about stamping out con- sumptiou without attacking the cause. And what folly it is to maintain places that cause consumption and at the same time to be spending thou- sands in au attempt to stamp out the disease. Sydney Die -Hard. (Hon. Sydney Fisher, who was de feated in Brome and Chateauguay, is reported to be seeking the Liberal nomination in the County of Jacques Cartier. made vacant by the resigna- tion of Hon. Mr. Monk.) Hand me down my best umbrella, see my bonnet is on straight, I must get into the battle ere the "getting" is too late, For I feel the old-time fever coursing madly through each vein, Fisher and a fatter chicken" -- Sydney is himself again. Canada she needs me badly, I can hear her siren call, Since I left my country's service she's been tottering to a fall. Gloom and ruin are prevailing, after I went down to Brorne, Now it meg be in Jacques Cartier I may find a final home. How the House has stood my ab• sence is a thing that puzzles me, For I used to prattle gaily, I was strong on ora'try, "Fisher and a fatter chicken"— there's a slogan that should win, But I'd stand on my platform THAT WOULD ONLY GET ME IN. Hand me down my best umbrella, see my bonnet is on straight, I can hear my country calling, I Must tilt again with fate, Though in Chatetuguay I tumbled, and in Brome they had me Blain, "Fisher and a fatter chicken"— Sydney is himself again. Times Staff increased. Last week we m 'ntioned the romov- ing of Mr. Peter Wilson, foreman of the Times o'iice, to Kenora. This has necessitated a change in the Times staff. Mr. Albert J. Armstrong of Lucknow, who hes had many years practical experience becomes foreman, while Me. J. B. Mennell of Clinton will be reporter etc, Largo Monument. One of the largest and beet earcaph- asas black Bouaccard granite monu- ments bas been erected in Dungannon Cemetery to the memory of the late Thomas Durnin. This monument has a bottom base, five feet, seven inches, by about four feet wide, with a sub base, four feet, nine inches by three feet, both bases are fine axed. There is also a third bare with the family natue, cut in deep raised letters, With carved corners on base. The die with inscription has four eared columns each corner of the die, a difficult and tedious piece of work. The cap sits on this die and has a raised carved wroath with the letter D inside of the wreath. elle cep R its lar e draped ' . is monument x urn Th e one of the tineet in this part of the country and war treated by Mr. Johnston of the Wingham Marble Works, sue - Sinclair, Captain. 1 esesor to B. H. Cochrane, as praising the restraint lately shown by Ulster under great pro- vocation, and then reminded theta that God was ot, their side. In closing be spoke of Nehemiah going about the wall from point to point, keeping tbe workers up to their task. Perhaps he had Sir Edward Carson in mind as a modern'Nebemiah, Scandalous Conduct. The Advance has been given posi- tive proof of the most scandalous and obscene conduct, of a Lower Wing - ham youth, and we are very muoh surprieed that information has not been laid with our police. We trust this will soon be done and this bar- barous youth brought to justice, SIR EDWARD CARSON. The above is a photo of Sir Ed- ward Carson who is leader of the Ulsteritee in their fight against Home Rule. The Protestants of Ulster are in deadly earnest and will sacrifice their lives and property in preserving and banding down to future genera- tions their priceless heritage of civil and religious liberty, the churches here to be a centre of stimulus and April 21st was set aside as a day for prayer in all churches. The following report will give a fair idea of the seriousness of the situation, On April 12th the West Belfast regiment of Ulster volunteers, 1500 strong, at- tended Divine services in Townsend Presbyterian Ohe3rch, where the Rev. Wm. Corkery is pastor and the fol- lowing is the report of the services :— "Then was sung in resounding fashion by 1,500 strong male voices, the stirring hymn : 0 God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal Home Beneath the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defence is sure. Old Testament Parallel. The Scripture lesson, read by the Anglican, or, rather, the Irish Church clergyman, was from the fourth chapter of Nehemiah, which portrayed the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem by the, Jews, while their enemies beyond ridiculed their efforts. Verses 17 and 18 run : "They which rebuild - ed the wall and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other band held a weapon. For the builders, every one bad bis sword girded by his side and so builder'. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me." In the sermon, which followed, the P,es- byterian clergyman applied this incident in Old Testament hietory directly to the local situation. In the past, he said, Ulster h ed thor- oughly learned the value of a strong wall around a city. Nor was it by mere accident that Ul- stermen had been placed here in northern Ireland—a million Chris- ti en people. Nothing was surer than that God had planted this people here, Their ancestors had found the country a w ilderness and had male it gr a: and pros- perous under the pro'ectton of a strong Imperial Government. They were surrounded by jealous enemies who hated their religion. So they were building a great wall of defence. Probably within the next month or two they wculd be thrust out from the protection of the Imperial Parliament, but they would never submit to a Ronan Catholic Government at Dublin. Instead, they would set up a local Protestant (government of their own. As was the case with the Jews at Jerusalem, eyery man who was preparing to defend his own home and his own life was helping to ltaild a strong wall around Ulster. Their action should inspire Protestantism the world over to a more strenuous loyalty to the principles of the Reforma- tion, God On Side Of Ulster. The preacher spoke of Mr. As. to the p le gaithasgrovelling people p who would enslave Ulster. The Jews' enemies laughed at theirit wall -building as futile. So it wee in Ireland to -day. All over Ulster 100,000 hien, fired with conviction and determination, were getting really to defend the things they held dear. They simply ly would not t band over their children to the domination of a Dublin Legisla• titre, inimfeal to their religion. Ile quoted the Belfast Prpebytety To LET —Good grass farm to rent.
