Maitland Presbytery Hears Moderator
of Presbyterian Church
Large Audience Attends Regular Meeting held in Wingham on
Thursday, Octoher 1st.
The Regular Meeting of the Presby-
tery of Maitland was held in the An-
glican Church on Thursday, October 1,
as repairs were being carried on in St,
Andrews church.
The principal work of the Presbytery
was the discussion of the Budget for
1915. The appointment of Maitland
Presbytery for thio year is $26000
This amount was apportioned among
the various congregations. Rev. Dr.
Herridge, Moderator of the General
Assembly ani Dr. A. S. Grant, chair-
man of the Finance Board were pre-
sent and delivered addresses.
Rev. Chao. M. Rutherford was elect-
ed moderator for the ensuing six
months.
There was a large attendance at the
morning and afternoon meetings.
In the evening Rev, Dr. Herridge
and Dr. Grant were welcomed by a
very small audience, Every seat in the
auditorium and gallery should have
been occupied as they aro both emin-
ent speakers. It is too bad those in
charge were not sufficiently interested
to have extended a wide open invitat-
ion to all through the two newspapers
in town, thus, giving our citizens the
opportunity and invitation to attend.
Rev. Dr. Herridge said in part that we
must show that while we are ready to
sacrifice for home, country and empire,
we should make still greater sacrifice
for the advancement of His Kingdom.
People had enjoyed privileges so long
that they had ceased to appreciate
them. When coming to Wingham he
wondered how the name of the town
was pronounced, whether the accent
was placed on "Wing" or "ham" but
was glad to learn that the emphasis
was on "Wing" from this laid empha-
sis on the spiritual as against the mat-
erial. The Rev. Dr, made a timely plea
for better salaries for the^ Ministers,
practical men are needed and the moat
practical are those who see visions and
dream dreams, A Christian can not
be told by his service and by attend-
anoe or collections. There were cad
hearts to bo cheered and practical work
to be done among those -who had
wandered and those whom the ecant
charity of the world had put aside, the
creed of the world seems to be "Eyary
man for himself and the devil for the
hindermost", but Christ comes along
and says I will take care of the hinder_
moat. The privilege of giving was em-
phasized,—the man who keeps is poor
and the man who gives is ricb. The
state of lethargy in many churches
was illustrated by a story of an old
colored lady, who went into a fashion-
able New York Church and began
clapping her hands and saying, "Praise
de Lord", A well groomed official told
her she mutt keep quiet to which she
replied, "I have got salvation" but the
official said it was not the fault of his
church asshe never got it there.
Building on this he made and elequent
appeal for more enthusiasm, more
divine intoxication, This was the
churches opportunity and he left the
command of Wellington at Waterloo
with his audience—:'Up guards and at
Them". The Church should be up and
at all forma of vice.
Dr. Grant then followed with an ap-
peal for home and Foreign Missions.

ONTARIO n PRIME MINISTPR
The Hon. W. II. Hearst has a diff-
icult task to follow such an honored
and revered statesman as Sir James
Whitney. The new Prime Minister
promises to follow the Witney trad-
ition. His choice is a popular one and
his future career will be watched with
much intereat. He is in the prime of
life having just turned fifty years,
The new Premier is a staunch Meth-
odist and an ardent temperance ad-
vocate.
Three Fifth?
A sixty seven (67) per cent vote
of the Methodist Conference was in
favor of allowing women to have
equal privileges with men in all
church courts, boards and com-
mittees. Wo regret the result of
the vote, which ought to have
been conclusive. The Conference
demands a seventy five (76) per
cent. vote. Yet in matters of
hotel licenses many of the Metho-
dist'`lergy say that fifty (50) per
cent. is sufficient and that a sixty
(60) per cent. vote is unfair, un -
British, etc. Mr. N. W. Rowell
will regret that the ladies are
turned down since there was a vote
of sixty seven (67) per cent, in
their favor, that is, if he is sincere
in his simple majority for local
option. The Advance fails to see
the jewel of consistency herein.

Reminiscences
of Sir James
The Advauce interviewed our mem-
ber, Mr, A. H. Musgrose, M.P.P., for
any personal description he might
have of Sir James, to which he replied
as follows :—
I first meet the late Premier, Sir
James W ditaey in 1896, when he ad-
dressed a meeting in the Town Hall
here, in the interests of the late E. L.
Dickinson, Conservative Candidate for
the House of Commons.
At this election there was strong op•
position to the Remedial Bill and as a
consequence, the public mind was
much agitated. A very prominent
Crangeman in conversation with Sir
James before the meeting remarked
that the meeting would be practially
all Protestant, Turning in his chair
the future Premier replied, "What do
you mean? Do you think I will suit my
address to the character of my hearers,"
This revealed a very striking feature
of his character—no matter when he
spoke he always dealt with his subject
from a broad provincial point of view.
During the bye -election between Mr.
Garrow and Mr. Beck, Sir James ad-
dressed a very large meeting in the
Town Hall, on this occasion his address
was marked by great force and was
well received. .About this time the de-
cision of the Privy Council on the
Manitoba License Bill had been rend-
ere;3,,declaring the Bill to be Constit-
utional; and the Hon. G. W. Ross was
being urged to fulfil his promis e made
to the people of Ontario. Sit' James
was asked to state his position on the
question. His answer was, "When the
Bill comes before the Legislature, 1 shall
state my position in such terms and in
such language as shall be fully under-
stood by every elector in this Province".
this he did the following year. When 1
first entered the Legislature Sir James
had already been four years in office,
and his policy had become well-defined
and was in course of developement.
One of his great qualities was his
puuctuality--he was always in hie seat
ready for work, at the appointed hour;
having taken his seat he wou'd cast
his eye around the Chamber, and if
the benches were poorly filled there
was a look of extreme disgust in bis
countenance, woe to the deputation
that would keep him waiting beyond
the appointed hour. He did not think
that any public meeting should be con-
tinued beyond eleven o'clock, On one
occasion Sir James attended a meet-
ing where seven local apeakers preceed
ed him, and he was not called upon un-
til 11 p, in. He never permitted this
to occur again.
Sir James was ever kind and consid-
erate to his followere—on one occasion
one of bis surporters had interduced
a 13111 which was fully discussed in cau-
cus. The decision was come to that
members should vote as they pleased
rae chairman was about to announce
the dec s on when S.r James atose,flre
was in his eyes, "Mr. is too good
a than, has done too much for the party
to have his Bill slaughtered by his own
friends, let him say a few words and then
withdraw his Bill." This was done.
When the question of Reciprocity
first cache before the caucus a cumber
thought that this being a Dominion
question the Legislature should not in-
terfere, Sir James thought otherwise
and at a second meeting the party was
unanimous in its opposition tq the
measure. This decision of the Legis-
lature had much to do with stiffening
and consolidating opposition in Ontario
"Do you want to devert all our trade to
the South and leave the C. P. R. two
streaks of rust" was his clo ing sent-
ence.
Like other mortals Sir James liked
to be complimented ou his work. After
the bye-etection in North Grey where
I had addressed a series of meetings, I
happened to oall upon the Premier.
After a short conversation Sir James
referred to the recent victory and very
kindly thanked me for what I had
done, In reply I said it was a pleasure
to assiat in the bye -elections as his
Government was easy to defend at any
tune. He seemed to be very much
pleased and laughed heartily.
The Bret time .I met Sir James after
his long illness was a few wecke before
the late General Election—He com-
plained that his friends would not per-
mit him to go upon the platform.
When I remarked that he should issue
an address he pulled from his pocket
several shoots of manuscript remark•
ing "dere it is". I remarked that his
address would be to the electors of
Ontario as the words of Roderick Dant
to hie men "One blast upon his bugle
horn were worth a thousand men" at
this he said that I must be Irish, but
he was pleased, withal.

St. Paul's Harvest
Home Services
The Annual H a o t Home Services
of the Church°of St. Paul the Apostle
on Sunday last were bright and inspir-
ing and attended by large congregat-
ions. The Church was beautifully
adorned with grain, fruits and flowers
in token of the ingathering of another
bountiful harvest vouchea'ved to ne by
a merciful Father. Rev, Charles Smith
rector of Fergue,was the special preach-
er for the occasion and delivered two
thoughtful and impressive sermons on
the joyous; and yet awe inspiring, fact
of the mercies and love of the Almighty
Father towards us; His beneficence in
providing for the wants of man and
our utter dependence on Him for our
every need. The music throughout the
daywas specially appropriate beginn-
ing with the beautiful Harvess Home
hymn, "Come ye thankful people come
raise the song of Harvest Home" which
was really the keynote of the day,
The choir renderedtwo fine anthems
and Miss Alice Mann sang a solo dur-
ing the offertory at Evening Prayer
very pleasingly.
As has been the custom with the
congregation of St. Paul's for many
years the Harvest supper was served in
the basement on Monday evening from
six to eight o'clock and was largely at-
tended, This Supp,,,' has become fam-
ous for its excellen.•., and r eserves the
generous patronage r.. air `i it always
receives. The ladies , ; aru ,no pains in
making the tables attractive and the
viands delectable, and their efforts are
much appreciated by those present.
After the tea a short but interesting
programme was given in the Mills'
Memorial Hall, being opened by the
rector, Rev. E. G. Dymond, in a few
courteous remarks in welcoming the
visitors and expressing appreciation to
the ladies who did the work. The
first number was that very popular
ballad, "Its a long way to Tipperary"
given very sweetly by Mies Alice Mann
followed by an interesting address by
Rev. D. Perrie, who conveyed the
greetings of the congregation of St.
Andrew's. Miss Miriam Smith sang
very prettily, "Little Boy Blue". Rev.
Charles Smith, of Fergus,made a short
speech expressing hie pleasure at being
present and incidentally making a few
complimentary remarks about the
town of Wingharn. The next number
was a piano solo by Mr. R. K. Burkitt,
which was greatly enjoyed by the au-
dience as evidenced by the prolonged
applause. A vocal solo was given by
Mrs. Willis and was followed by a cor-
ne t solo by Bandmaster Hinckley in
his masterly way. The last number a
solo by Miss Griffin was beautifully
rendered. The singing of the National
Anthem brought the evening to a close
Miss Griffin and Mr, Burkitt -were the
able accompanists for the evening and
added not a little to the excellence of
the programme.
