4. most succeesful 7nd well atteuded
Epworth League Convention, in oonneo
tion with the Methodist oleurobes, of the
Wingham Maria, was held in the Gorrie
Methodist oburoh on Friday of last week.
President Betobart octoupied the olutir.
Tice day Ives delightful and had a whole-
some effect on the delegates. A hearty
reception was acoorded the visitors and
the Billetting Committee had their work
well in hand.
The devotional exercises were con-
ducted by Rev, R. J. Garbutt,
Min Aehwell, of Kincardine, gave an
exoellent Inner on "Our individual
responsibility In regard to the pledge."
The subjea was considered under the
Ave following divisions :-(1) The promise
to make stated 0800005 of private prayer
and the daily study of the Bible the rule
of our Byes ; (2) The promise to Wend
the meetings stud take part M them ; (8)
The promise to Masten from all &mime -
moots and habits upon which We
eannot ask God's blessing; (4) The
promise to honor God with our substance
as he has prospered es ; (5) The promise
to do personal work for the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Interesting reports were from a
number of Leagues in the lOistriot which
were of a cheering oharaoter and demon-
strated the fact that practical work is
being done. After the hymn "I never
will cease to love Rim" the topio "How
Junior League work helps tbe children"
was introduced by Kenneth Beaton, of
Whiteoharoh. It aids by inspiring them
with an embition to be great and good.
Intellectually and socially the juniors ere
bettered and ate made antedated with
Missionary and Temperance work in the
most practical forms. Good oitizauship
has ite foundation laid in a way that will
tel in the corning years. It was an inter-
esting paper and well presented by the
youth mentioned above,
Prelatical Junior work was exhibited
by the Gorrie Juniors, led by Miss M. A.
Mabel), a well known aud enthusiastic
League worker of Gorrie. They retailed
the pledge individually and oolleotively ;
also the names of the books of the Bible
and the keynote of each ; a trio was sung
in good form by Emma Zimmerman,
Mary Morton and Irene Strong.
After the hymn "rll go where you
want nee to go" the Nominating Com-
mittee was ahosen as follows : E. P.
Paulin, Dr, Gillies, Rev, Mr. Roger's and
D. 0. Taylor; Finance and Resolution
Committee, Bev, R. 5, Gerbil:be, Mies
Staples and W. R. Kerr. 'Sow may the
League do practical Temperance work"
was takea up by Wesley Johnston, of
Fordwioh. Revs greater enthusiasm in
our work. A Total Abstinence pledge
should be found in every League. Hold
