Liftmen Co, Liberals have emanated Editor Lovelace, of the kit, (ballerinas Joaicual, as eaudidate for the ()ominous at, the next election. Lan Saturday wee nomination day for the Provincial eleetiona in Britieh Col- umbia, There are oonteste in every riding and in several three cornered fighte. Eleotion day will be Saturday of this week, Some of theeleotion affairs in 0. are badly muddled and hot fights are expected. NOTWITae0ANDIN0 the length of the session of the Dominion Parliament and the heavy strain necessarily borne by the leaders Sir Wilfrid Laurier is standing the work wonderfully well and is said to be in better health than he was a year ago. 10 is expected Parliament will complete the work of thie term about the 10th or 15th of Oolober. Tne locking up of some of the big indnetriee at the Soo ie a rather serious matter ae hnudrede of men are thrown out of employment but some appear to format that the works wilt soon resume as there is too mach capital invested to allow it to remain inaotive, We wonder If the oonfliot may not be in the internal working of the big concerns rather than am n areolar I t thin o1 an outward oh ? anything is to be hoped the differeooes may soon be healed and the bum and bustle of work once more heard. Tne POET has heard of contests Of vari• one kinde in speed, strength values, tea., but the competition now in progress in Hawkebary Agrioultaral College, Aaetra- Iia, is certainly a novel one, being a laying contest between hens. There are 70 pens of 6 hens each competing and the oonteetante in the lead are from Nebrae• ka, U. S. The oompetitore got to work last April and will lay away until March. 270 egge foe 4 months by a Nebraska pen is the top notch the Australian aack- lers being 30 behind at that stage of the metal. We hope their will be no foul strike out. Sone of the Opposition newspapers have been stating that although Liberal news- papere abaetieed the Provincial Cabinet over the recent appointments in Huron Co. that they would continue to support Liberal principles inetead of joining bands with their opponents. This is very likely true. The calling of one's party to time le a plain bot disagreeable duty that the Opposition doesn't know mnoh about by praotiae and yet this is the way to raise the standard. A father wbipe hie ohild for a misdemeanor but does not expel him from his home and so in polities, the straight oriticism and w aching oat for au avoidance of the error ii a much better line of aotiou than going out on strike end like a baulky horse re. fueleg to do your duty. Goveromeots often need reminding that they seethe servants of the eleotorate and not their boas and if there were more bonest out. spoken comments on pnblioaffairs instead of faultfinding only for party sake a more mutely management of public affairs would have existed before this. Polities are °tear' but some of the politicians are in need of seep. WE.bad fondly imagined that the bel• loon built writers of editorial for the American press were a thing of the past and that with the data at band relative to the giant strides being made by the Dominion of Canada the aubbieh some- times appearing would give place to a wiser and more sensible condition. It would appear, however, judging by the following, taken from the Boston Post that there are still men to be found who "talk through their hat" and greatly amuse Oanuoke by their silliness. Here's the clipping ;- "The tedious and perfauotory proceed. Inge of the Alaska Boundary Commie. eion in London are enlivened by ardent comments from the Canadian siSe, The grave jurists who have the matter in hand will nob be iofluenoed by tbie talk, but ib has an importeat relation to the affair, nevertheless. The latest and most radical suggestion is that if the decision shell be made in favor of the Coiled States, "i0 may mean the eeparatioa of Canada from the mother ooaatry," Well, what if it ebould 7 It would only beaten the march of destiny. There is nothing more clearly writ upon the book of fate than the dominance of the American re- public upon this continent, The United States represent the real life of the Western hemisphere ; all the rest is ephemeral ; the only eteble, controlling nationality is that of ones. In the course of manta, all the rent will fall in, drop thele alien allegiance, forego independence which really means nothing, and join their lortudee with that of the new race or the Western world. There is no beery about 't I patiently t we nan wait a t iemtl and nom• poeedly anti) the thing works itself oat on the lines of eternal neoeseity.

Grey, Sept, 21. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CONVENTION. The sequel oonvention of the Y. P. S, of Maitland Presbytery was held in Whiaeohnreh, en Tneeday, Sept. 15th. From far and near the delegatee oame and filled the whole ohuroh, The Pres• bytery met en the same day en that there was also a large atteudanoe of minieters. The meeting was opened by devotional exeraisee led by Rev. J. F. Maxwell, viae president, who in the abeeuoe of the president took the chair. Following this was a eelection by the choir, after which the chairman celled upon Rev. W. J. West, of Blnevale. for an address on "The Open Door of the West". The speaker had spent some time in the mission work in the Weet and could speak forcibly of its needs., He outlined in detail the distinctive feature° of the country, its magnificent indnetriee, limbering, farming, fishing, eta., with their untold wealth, its mixed population of many different natioaalitiee. He drew e vividicture of the prime aud mt•e ar wbioh abound in the camps where these industries are carried on, and appealed to the audience on behalf of the young men from Huron and Brnoe, from our own fair Ontario who are today in the midst of these cesspools of viae and have no religiose inatrnation. The speaker doe - ed an inepiring addreee by saying that that we must reach the foreign element to a large extent through attention to their bodily wants by sending medical mieeionariee among them. The field also appeals to us because of ;-1 Its large. nese. 2 Ite possibilities. 3 What hae been done and whet ought to be done. The second paper was on "Witnessing for Christ" by three members of the Teeewater Society, Miss Mary Sharp, Mise Aggie Little, Hagh McNaughton, The papere were brimful of good thinge of which we have only spade for a sew. The neoeseity of witneseing for Ohriet is shown by the fact that 8e ie still on trial before the great mass of the world at large. We should be witneeeee of what He was, while on earth. 2 Hie claims to our service. 3 What be did while on earth. We were not eye wit- nesses of this but we believe the story of Hie lite and shouldn't be ashamed to show it. 4 The validity of Hie promisee. God has given to enoh one something. He onoe told others -the foot that He oan and doee save us. The light of our lives ehi5e awarding to the amount of the Moly Spirit we have in our hearts. It was natural for the dieoiplee to wit- neee for Ohriet because they were filled with divine enthueiaeiem. We eometimee find it difficult to speak but it would be diffionit to keep quiet it we were filled with God's spirit. These disciples did not wish to be silent Chrietiane. They did nob say the goepel was out of harmony with the age but they boldly witneered for Ohriet. This was natural because of their great admiration for Him. Our duty of witnessing for Christ is so obvious that it needs no argument. God doer' not need one feeble help, henoe we should regard it as a blessed privilege. Oar talents may be emelt but even then we are given many opportunities to ebow to the world that we have been with Jeans. We should take the advice given by David to Solomon, "Be strong there- fore and show thyself a man." We should do the right, not the profitable or the pleasant, or that which Rade to earth• ly honor. Any duty well done le not waste time. Thie was shown by Chris t as be worked in the carpenter shop in Nemeth. Hie work was alwave great because it was given to H:m by God It is the same with ue. After einging and disenesion Rev. C. M. Rutherford, of Dungannon, gave his views of en "Ideal Young People's Meet. ins." He dwelt for a moment on the importance of young people and said bis objeob wee to answer the quo. tion, 'What kind of a eooiety will make bet Christians of them," Hie plan for the meeting wee something as follows ; lat. Have someone to preside. For Haig position he thought it better to have TII1^t B 1$ U 13i`31,Ly PO8T.'

This should always be taken by the pastor se he has a message for bis young people that none else ono give. 6th. The catechism -in charge of one of the elders. The pastor then criticizes the elder and this starts a discussion, 70e. Asking and anewering questions. After Mr. Rutherford's addreee the oorreepondiog Secretary's report was given by Rev. J. J. Haetie and on motion adopted. It reported a total of 14 Societies with a membership of 667, 439 of whom are obnroh members. The Presbytery last year raised $937 of mfe. eionary money, an increase of 6206 over the previous year. The evening session opened by a eelea- tion from the choir. The President. Rev. John Roes, of Brussels, was in the chair. The Executive committee's ra pert wbioh was read and adopted gave the following offieere for the next year President, Rev. C. M. Rutherford, Dun• gannon ; Viae•President, Rev. G. M. Donn, Whiteohnrob ; Cor.• Sea rotary, Rev. 3. J. Hastie, Belgrave ; Rea.•Seoretary, R. D. Lone, Kinlongh ; Treasurer, Rev. W. J. Went, Biuevale ; Councillors, W. E. Gordon, St, Helene ; G. F. Blair, Brussels ; Hugh MoNaaghton,'Teeewater, and Davie! Martin, Whiteabnrob, The first speaker was Rev. J. S. Hardie, of Listowel. He spoke on "Our Great Northwest." As the speaker had travell- ed the ground for years he woe well qualified to speak on this euhjaot. He first congratulated the Presbytery on t terest in a missionary akin an m to in the Northwest'. He said Home Missions ie the living issue in the Presbyterian ohuroh to day. In 10 years the East in - °reseed 100,000, the Weet 310,000. Ou• tario loses 5 members and the West gains 5 members. The West will some day be the great controlling influence in Oane• dian polities, hence bow important it is that it be well trained. That the people to be benefitted are of many and varied nationalities is shown by the taotthat the Preobyterian ohuroh enppliee the gospel in 15 languages and 14 dialeote. The work is diffioult and pressing. A. great deal of it has been laid to the door of the Presbyterian ohuroh and it is a ease of now or never. The church is able to fulfill her obligations if she only will. The speaker allowed that the Weet was doing well to support itself, in taut was giving $5 98 per ohuroh member, while Maitland Presbytery only 68.67. Mr. Hardie reminded hie audience that it wale one of the 4691. members of this Preebytery gave 40e a year more for nate. Mona they would rein $1876.40, or enough to support two mieeionariee. The addreee of Rev. A. B. Winobester whioh was the closing feature of a de. ligbttol and helpful convention wee the grand event of the day. It was an ad. dress wbioh cannot be put on paper. His eubjeot was "Minion!' " but be treat• ed it in a manner hitherto unheard of and unknown in this locality. It wee grand, lofty, inspiring, end ae the andienee realized that the oratory wee flowing from the !i f i n f m a o n mat who had tasted of P the life of which he spoke it was thrilled again and again. There never was in the hietory of this ohuroh au addrees which moved the people so mooh, and it was & n0animonely expreesed conclusion that if this divinely inspired end eloquently, fervently delivered appeal failed t0 stir the hearts of the people no human power could do ib. The usual vote of thanks followed this atter wbioh the convention dismissed, CONVENTION NOTEe. The beentiful deaoratione reflected oreditrn the looal eooiety. The delegates and friends were enter. tained to tea after the afternoon session, The grape of hospitality is still ebnndent• ly prosperous in Wbiteohuroh. A great deal of the sewer's of the non• vention was due to the hard work of Rev. G. M. Daon and hie managers. The music by the Wingbom Ohoir, led by Prof. Cline, added very mooh to the enjoyment of the whole day. This in itself was a rare treat. Canadian Newic,- Hon.
