last week in the death of frank Tom-
ball, 11, D., a olever young physician,
who bee been praotteiug at Auburn, and

wag about to go abroad to proeeonte

feat which bag frequently been under -
token by eome of the young men, viz
the navigation of the Maitland aurtog

few claye preview' and the ioy °urreut
was flowing with great rapidity. Timm
day morning at 10 80 he started from
Aeburo to make the trip of 20 miles
down the winding river to Goderioh.
How or when the aoaideot 000arred is
not known but an upturned canoe with a

which was being whirled through the

Bad Railway Accident.
Two Killed And luny Ilam.
As the morning Wein was running
beeweeu Gnelph and Elora Wednesday
moping bound for Palmerston, well
freighted with passengers and Oondnotor
Lillie in °barge, it jnmped the track and
serious ooneegnenoe followed, eome 30
people being more or lees injured and 2
aitildren killed. Aooident ie supposed to
have been aanaed by heaving or settling
of the ties by the '°'ion of frost of the
past Winter. The last coach left the
rails first at a small oreek with au em.
bankmeot of perhaps 10 or 12, feet at the
bottom of which was a swampy expenee
of Water and muck, and after bumping
along the ties oareemed on its aide to
the South of the track and thou turned
over, leaving the track and landing in the
water, The smoking and baggage oars
were also thrown off bat while badly
rattled the paaoe0gere, generally farad
batter than those in the coach. The
engine and tender did not leave the track.
Vigorous effeote were at ono, made to
rescue those in trouble and the eight is
difficult to deaoribe as the passengers
drenched in water and mud with wounds
bleeding and cries and groans were
broaoght out of their brief imprisonment.
A ohifd was killed and ae to what the
injuries to the others may be is not
easy to say at this jet.ature, Had the
first coach got off first eo that lelesoopiag
would have followed dire indeed would
have been tbe story.
The Auxiliary train was telegraphed
for and dodoes were soon on the scene
after which the injured and bewildered
paeeengera were taken to Fergus or
Guelph horsehair'. In the meantime the
farm bonne oldie by had been called into
requisition in the supply of food, cloth.
hag and shelter. Conductor Lillie and
Mail Clerk Cheeney, of Brantford, and
Southampton were among those injured.
After several hours work the wreck was
cleared, the ties replaced and rafle
straightened to permit the resumption of
Waffle.
P. Livingston, of Lietowel had hie
baok injured and was otherwise ebaken
up, and B. Petrie, of Atwood, who wagon
bie way home from Oollingwood bad one
of bie lege damaged and no doubt gnite a
number of those who passed throngh the
sone will be Bore enough after the ex-
citement had abated. The miracle wae
that many lives had not been loot as there
is a good level ran of from 13 to 15 mike
from Guelph to Elora over which good
time ie generally made.
The damaged care will be of little use
except for ktodling as they were badly
smashed by the Budden stop. Entire
new outfits of clothing had to be procur-

to the damage done by water and contact
with the wreckage, such as Beate, &o.
Val(eee and other light baggage had also
disappeared in the wild plunge into the
swamp, and watches, puma and other
valuables were pinked up in a tour of
Inspection afterward.
As the writer passed by the wreok in
the evening and met with a number who
had run the gauntlet he thanked Provi-
dence that he had been on the Eaetboond
rather than the Westbound train in the
morning. Owing to the emaeh•np no
afternoon mail front the Bast was re -
delved here as the wrecked train was

to hear the men so intimately

Today the Christian church ie alive to
the education of the boyo and gide and
the most important question is Haw may
we lead them into the Ohrietian life 7 It
is our:duty and privilege to pre-empt them
for Jesse Obeid and no Christian effort
pays better dividends, hence let us make
a paramount issue. Responsibility for

(2) Parental example. A sou ie often

There should be a regard for prayer.
There are many helpful inetitatione in
our church bat none are designed to die -
place the home. The Sabbath eohoot is
iutended to be its oomplement, oar B. S.
motto ie "Teach" and that of the League
"Train" These inetitations should be
supported by the prayers, sympathy and
hearty oo-operation of the adults. A
deeper interest is needed and if so we need
not be disturbed about the remits ae we
look forward to the Great Day. The
speaker's application was pointed and
praotioal.
The evening congregation packed the
church to its fulleat capacity and was no
doubt an inspiration to the preacher who
delivered a powerful and heart searching
ditooarse from David's farewell words to
hie son Solomon :—"Be thou strong there-
fore and show tbyeelf a man." David
was not only anxious for Solomon to be
a great King but wanted him also to be a
noble mac, How the fathers are passing
from ae and how maxims we should be
that oar sone should prove worthy euo-
aeoeora. Reference was not Stade by
David to physical strength, although
that is very important and much time ie
now spent in physical development. It
is a sign of the times that the church its
paying attention to phyeioal wafture
but it should be the glory of man
that be is truly allied to God, -
