How fresh and exhilirating is spring 1 Winter has its amusements -summer its days of sunshine and serenity -autumn, the wane of the year, preaches a sad mor- al of the instability of all things; but with. spring. the infascy of nature, when she puts forth her find footstep',aftor the long sleep of winter, we feel the blood flow freer, and after the thraldom to which snow and rain have subjected us, walk abroad once again to enjoy the fresh breeze in the surrounding fields, "The winter is over gill gone," an "the desert and solitary places are glad, and again blossom as the rose." The air is yi.'t keen and bracing, but the sky has put on a deeper blue, and the sun has life and warmth in his genial beams. On the high hills the snow may be yet lingering, dot- ting their dark sides here and there with patches of white, but in the low grounds not a vestige ot winter is tobe seen.. Nor less interesting to 'the lover of nature is the show which our gardens put on, as April ripens into fuller beauty the fond anticipation. of March, The tulip and the hyacinth now assume their tinted blossoms, with the yellow auricula, the cowslip, the soltsfoot, with its bright golden and silvery stars, and the blue and yellow violet, the most delicately beauti- ful of all the fairy train. "Consider the lilies of the field how 'they grow ; they toil not, .either dothey spin ; yet Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these." How should all these delights, then, crowding upon the senses, turn our thoughts to Him from whom every good gift flows 1 With man, change succeeds change, and his thoughts have no stability in them ; but we turn our eyes abroad and see the unfailing goodness of that Being with whom there is "uo variableness, neither shadow of turning." From spring, the infancy of the year, memory naturally reverts to early days, conjuring up, as if by the touch of an en- chanter's wand, the fondly cherished recollections of childhood. Sad, indeed is the retrospection, if it is mingled with thoughts that turn its sweetness to gall. The days of innocence, the early apriag of life, is, like its prototype of the seasons full of auticipatios, but not, alas 1 like it, always fitted to bring forth the fair blos- som to full maturity. How many, in- deed, of the fond playmates of our early year., around whose hearts our young affections were entwined, have passed into the grave, ere their sun had reached the zenith 1 How many are "Wanderers on the homeless deep," sep- arated from us by leagues of land and ocean. Some "Known, but moat un- known to fame." A few fulfilling not the bright promise of their youth, forgetful of the good instructions early instilled into their minds, and living appar- ently without God and without hope in the aaorld. One or two alone of the little band are left us for firm frieuds through; life , fond advisers in difficulty, our consolation in the hour of trial, going forward in prosperity and adversity hand- in-hand with us through this world, to be separated only by death, but fellow - sharers in the glorious hope of reunion in a happier scene. Spring also is calculated to awaken in the mind hopes of a higher and more lasting kind. The naked and leafless tree, that appeared but a withered trunk through the long night of winter, now foels the juice mounting up through its sapless stem, infusing new life into its system, and causing it to put forth once again its gay shote of leaves, and buds, and blos- soms, Such a renovation from apparent death to life and beauty, while it evinces the never -failing powere of Him who call- ed this fair creation into being, by a word. also reminds us of that awakenieg which succeeds the long sleep of the grave. If the Supreme Ruler of all cares so much for what only ministers to the comforts and happiness of man in this world, how much more will He fulfill those better gifts that secure his eternal felicity hereafter! To the Christian, then, such a season is, peculiarly fitted to call up thoughts of a high and an interesting nature. If sum- mer, with its long days and nights of cloudless blue, raises us prayers of thankfulness for blessings enjoyed ; if autumn with its rich load of golden treas- ures fills the heart of man with gladness, "making his cup of joy run o'er," if win- ter, with his darkness and storms, is as- ... seciated with gloomy thoughts of death and the grave, to that succeeds spring, awakening nature from her sleep of death, to light and life and to man preach- ing a practical sermon on immortality ; in short, if the Maturity Wane, and death of the year reminds us only of the vicititud.s of this World, how much more should the welcome spring, when with its beautiful revivifying process we associate hopes that tarry out views beyond it.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES, The Anniversary services of the Metho- dist Sunday School were held last Sunday morning, afternoon and evening. The Church was very beautifully decorated for the occasion, the galleries having a profusion of red and white bunting, in- terspersed with the Union Jaek, while the organ and choir galleries were resplen- dent with many flags. The platform was a bower of beauty, being literally smother- ed in beautiful plants and flowers. The singing of the Sunday School was ex- cellent and the solos of Miss Mabel Isard in ttie morning and Mrs. Wellwood in the evontog were very much appreciated. k;r. Ivor l;r,wk of Toronto, Superinten- dent of the Parkdale Methodist Sunday School, Toronto, gave the addresses at he morning and afternoon services. In the morning his subject was "Opportun- ity," illustrated by gardening, He graphi- cally pointed out various kinds of seed, whack sown will bring forth flowers and beauty to our lives. His address was illustrated by means of a black -board. In the afternoon he spoke upon the seven stars, which mak* the life resplendent. The stars were perseverance, truth, etc. These revealed in the life will ultimately bring the crown of life. The evening service was conducted by the pastor who combined the thought of Mother's Day with the Sunday School Anniversary. Speaking front Kings 4 :19, he revealed the love of mother and gave the reasons why we should bring our tribute to moth- er. A pleasing feature of the services was the fact that nearly all the congre- gation wore their little bouquet A as a silsat tribute to the worth of mother. The services were quite successful as large congregations assembled at all three services, The Sunday School is under the superintendence of Mr. F. Buchanan, and by the reports given in the afternoon, the school was shown to be in a flourish- ing condition, inasmuch as membership, average attendance, and finances showed a good increase over the previous year. The annual Sunday School entertain- ment was held on Monday evening and proded a splendid success. All .the parts ware very interesting and well given, a- mong them being a flower drill, a doll's drill, a shepherd's drill, and a patriotic drill. A pantomine given by a number of girls, "Lead Kindly Light", was excep- tionally pretty, also a cantata, "The Crowning of the May Queen," The little folks excelled themselves in their fascinat- ing recitations, choruses and songs.

The Meanest Man, We crave all met some mighty mean men, Aswe've travelled life's rough, rugged way ; There's the chap who will order the drink, And then leave his companions to pay. There's the chump who won't pay hie lodge dues, But will growl when his name ie. le% drop ; .A.rtd the crank, who on personal gt'oundr, Will get road at his party and flop. There's the akin who will occupy sheds, Of a church that he never attends ; Awl the sneak who works party or lodge For to farther his own selfish ends. There's the wretch who keeps chickens or dogs For to ;scratch out his neighbor's sweet peas; And the whelp who's a tyrant M home, Though be Oraxtgera is nice as you please. But bad as thea) fellows all ore, There's another, Y think, that's still worse; Re's the cad that supports the Scott Act, Aud expects a free shed for his horse. ONLOOKER. h ici e vf71 Rev. E, G.

The Chris- tian Ouerdian publishes these state- tnents "It is a very old delusion that alco- hol adds energy, and although to -day the de luelon is leen tenable than ever. it seetue hard to kill. And yet every new ecleoiific study of alcohol helps to demonstrate sabre couolusively than ever that alcohol is a foe to work, Pro- fessor Emil Krapelin, of Munich Uni- versity, has been making some re- markable experiments In this direc- tion, using the ergograph. He, first took a total abstainer and measured his muscular efficiency ten times a day for some weeks. He then gave the man a glass of Bordeaux wine after each meal and proceeded with hie measurements. In every case the worker showed a decline in efficiency varying between 7.0 and 8 per cont. After experimenting with a number of Germans the Professor tried the same experiment with men of other races and under different climatic conditions with -practically the same results. "He theca proceeded to experiment as to the effect of alcohol upon the mental powers. He tested the ability of some accountants to add long columna of figures. They first worked without alcohol, and then each was given four cupfuls of claret a day. On the very prat day their work fell off 3.1 per cent. and it steadily declined until at the end of two weeks the loss was 15 3 per cent in daily efficiency. His next experiment was with printers omnpositorg and one week of alcohol lessened their speed 0 6 per cent. ' In all these cases there was no evidence of intoxication, and doubtless each man would have denied that his working efficiency was impaired in the slightest degree, but the tests showed otherwise. Itis now pretty generally known that alcoholic liquors. even in modera- tion lessen muscular and mental pow- er, and a young man seeking& position is usually asked two questions "Do you drink ?" Do you smoke ? (Sgd.) H. Arnott, M. B., M. C. P. S. The Preacher In Politics. The political parson who is editor of the Toronto Globe, on Saturday last published an editorial which was clearly a bugle call to the clergy of the province to enter politics. One minister in Toronto obeyed and on Sunday Inst preached a political ser- mon, or at least a sermon that should have political effect. A minister is a full fledged citizen, and as such there should be no objec- tione to him taking a political platform during an election, There is no reason why he should be denied the privilege of the stump. When be comes out in the open as any other politician, he can then be refitted, but, it is most unfair, in fact, unmanly for.. a clergyman to use "tbe sacred desk" for the assistance of any political party. Both political parties in Ontorio de- sire the abolition of the bar, but each has its own method. For thirty.four years the Liberal party was in power and, merely talked about temperance. The Conservative party has been in power eine years and has "worked" at temperance. During that nine years there hays been forty-two amend- ments to the Ontario Liquor License Act. The license law has been strictly eiferced so that when a territory be- came dry, it was a "reality" and not a "joke," as under the former adminis- tration. When the Whitney admin- istration came into power there were 2516 tavern licenses and to -day there are less than 1383. Almost one half of the tavern licenses have been wiped Out during the Whitney administration. At that tate ten years more of Whit- ney rule and temperance effort will .,hake a dry province and the Conser• votive party believes that this is just as rapid as public sentiment will sup- port, in order to make the gain per- manent and abiding. Sir James Whiiney and many of his colleagues have spoken as etrongly against the evils of the liquor traffic as ever did Mr. Rowell and his assoc- iates, so a Clergyman cannot hide be- hind the excuse that the abolition of the bar is a church issue for both parties believe in it, the only difference being that the liberal party talks about it and the conservative party works at it. Our clot cher were builded and the tutored desk erected for the preaching of the gospel, and not to be used by designing politicans. No one believes that aclergymen le especially fitted to advise in matters of state. Hie advice In polities+ goes no further than the most ordinary citizen. Hie special preparedness is for the preaching of the gospel and the members of this To- ronto church in question should see to it that their Clergyman does what he was hired to do or else vacate. The question le not the abolition of the bar but the question is "which party hat the better method of Abolishing satot?"

Meeting Fairly Well Attended The meeting in the Rall held on Thursday evening last for the dis- cuselon. of Workmen's Compensation was fairly well attended and all gave good attention to the potlines of the mature as presented by A. H, Mus- grove, ,U, P. 1?, Mayor Irwin ably fulfilled the duties of chairman. In 910 Sir William Meredith one of the nigh O,iurt judges was appointed a commissioner to investigate all mat- ters 'Pertaining to this important question. Eviderce was heard from manu- facturers, labor interests and ex- perts from the :United States. Sub- sequently Sir William visited Europe and mode a full and searching inquiry into tbe systems in Germany, France end Great Britain. Upon his return additiouai evidence was taken, and when all material had been collected and arranged, and a Bill .was drafted and 'submitted to the Legislature. Here it was fully examined and dis- cussed in every detail, and finally be- anie law, To enable the commission- ers to put everything into shape, the Bill will not come into foroe until the beginning of 1915. The main features are as follows. Manufacturere will be grouped into classes, as nearly as possible according to the hazard of the risk. Each establishment will con tribute a fund according to the amount of its pay -roll. There will be no contributions by the workingman. This fundwill be administered by three commissioners appointed for life or good conduct, end their decision in all cases will be final. No appeal is allowed. By this means the injured workman will have no law costs, nor be subject to having his case carried from court to court. Practically every dollar paid into the fund will reach the injured workman or his family. The commissioners will be paid bythe province. .By grouping of concerns solvency is maintained and should one group become too weak it will be merged into another. Inspectors will be appointed and all factories carefully inspected and where there are efficient safe -guards, and accident preventing devices the rate will be less than where such devices are not in use. The compensation is as -follows :-Where the workman has no dependents, funeral and other ex- penses are paid up to $75. Where a workman leaves a widow she will be entitled to 55 per cent of what her husband was earning during her life - not to exceed $20 a month. Should the re -marry, she will be entitled to a lump sum of two years benefits. Where there are children then the widow and children receive 55 per cent. of, the earnings of deceased, children to receive up to age of 16 years, and four children the limit, the amount to be divided in the rates of $20 to widow and $5 to each eland up to four children. Should the work- man be totally disabled then he is to receive 55 per cent. of what he had been earning during life. Should he be partially disabled then 55 per cent, the lose of his earning power. For example a workman earning $12 per week is so disabled as to earn only $5 a week, then he would receive 55 per cent of $7 his loss of earning power or $3 75 per week during disability. All the employers defences are ewept away, and the workman can recover in any case -the only case being Where he wilfully and intentionally caused the accident. These are some of the features of the act as outlined -This is a great step forward in social legislation and one Which has met with approval from all working men in the province. Engine Wrecked. Oa Friday laet a bad accident occurr- ed at the Blyth saw -mill. By some miecbance, something went wrong with the engine, and before any of the men could get to it, the cylinder was broken to piecee., and it is likely that Me. Vanstnne will have to put in a new engine. Tne whole thing seems to be a mystery, but the most likely solu- tion is that the cylinder was not firm on the bed, ,Local 'dem We are pleased to hear that Mies Ada Corbett, who has been under the care of Dr. McDonald and Mise Taylor, is now rapidly recovering front a serious attack of branchial pneumonia, Mr. B.
