Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Montreal : And what hae the Government done for the r. .00try ? The Conservativepress and the Coueervabive leaders say everywhere that we have dome nothing. Well, here fe a little of what we have done, First 01 all we faced the school question, whiah ow enemies attempted to settle without h inn able to do so. We settled that ,j,eation, and I will speak more frilly upon it later. We reformed the tariff, and by doing 00 were enabled to dlmiuieb the burdens of the people and to increase trade. We obtained the denunciation of the Belgium and Garman treaties, and the day we obtained that reform Canada become a nation more than it had been before. We have reduced the defioits which existed in the Postotlice Depart- ment. In 1890, when my friend, Mr, Mnlock, Poatmaster•Geaeral, assumed tate direotiou of that department there was lit deficit of $800,000 to meet• At the end of two years of admi0lstratimi he had reduced that deticit to nearly $50.000. He thea thought it time to in- troduce a reform which the Conservative party haddeolared impossible. He re- .inaad the rate by one thir3, and at the end of cue year eatabtiebed an egnili- brinm, and I veotare to predict that in ,;••ocher year he will have completely -ncceeded in establishing an equilibrium between receipts and expenditure. We !!sued up the great tniniug country which ie known as Roseland, by having the railway known as the Crow's :,est Pass Railway constructed. Getting the work done by the Oanadiau Pacific Com. pony, we made with that corporation an errangetneut by which the tariff of freight race, wee reduced from 10 to 30 tate cent. which bad the effect of giving to consumers of that region the means of saving at least $600,000 a year. Ws have prolonged the Intercalanial to Montreal, and by so doing we have pat an end to the era of deficits and inangurated an era at surpluses. This year the surplus will be over half a million. We have com- leted the construction of annals for the purpose of bringing the prodaats of the West to Montreal, and £cosily the Laurie Government has made Montreal reaogoiz• ed as the national port of Gonads. 13ltr.eva.le.

SABBATH GnexavANCR.—Rev. John G. Paton, D. D., the noted missionary says; The New Hebrides converts, of which we have now 18.000, keep the Sabbath Day sacredly to God's worship. All cooking ie done on Satorday preparatory to the Sabbath, eo that Sstnrday is called the "Preparatory day." Worship begins at each station soon after daylight in the morning of Seoday. Every convert is found in his or her appointed seat at the hour of worship unless confined to a bed of sickness. None of the converts speed the Sabbath Day in visiting friends or tarn their backe on the ehnrabes where otiters assemble for worabip as I saw'' multitudes last Sabbath is oouveyanees or on bicycles epeudiug the holy day in pleasure and amusement. Are they not heapiog up wrath against the day of wrath and righteons judgment of God, who said, "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy." II our island converts saw the way In which many professed Ohrietieos keep the Sabbath m Britain, in Canada and in America they would doubt if they were Ohristians at all, and it possible would plead with them to act• company them to the church and the Sunday school that they might enjoy the happiness which they fled in the wor- ship of the dear Lord Jeens on his own day. I have myself met with very meny people who dated their first step into stn and ruin o1) that Lord's Day which they spent with their companions and friends in esekingg worldly plessnre and amuse. meut.
