Monkey and Reeve Bowman, After the debate a grand muoioal and literary entertainment will be given, in which local talent will be assisted by H. L. Jackson with hie gramophone. The temperanoe meeting given by the Epworth Leagne, of Browntowu, last Wednesday evening was a marked am- ass. The topic' 1va0 taken by Robert Forrest and wee very instructive. An excellent program was rendered by mem. bore of the League in good style. The League intend t0 have te Song 08rvi0e on Feb. 2nd and on Feb. 161111 Rev. D. Rogers will give a lecture for the benefit of the young people. All are welcome, R, G. Skelton, who is here. from Elva, Mane is developing into quite a rancher, It is 11 years ainoe Me.

John Dryden, Miuiiler of Agr1• culture, are other evidences, if that were needed, of the wisdom which marked the selection by Sir Oliver Mowat when Premier of the Govorument, to which he is now Her Majesty's represenative, of a practical farmer as the responsible head of a department having to do with the greatest industry in the country. Under authority conferred by the Leg- islature the Minister of Agriculture al. ready has inspectors at work fn the nurseries and adulate of the districts where the Soule leas got a start and it is being thoroughly stamped out. How serious a matter dealing with this dangerous microscopical post is may be understood when it is learned that not only all kinds of fruit trees, shrub$ and bushes aro snbjeat to destruction by the Scale, but all hard wood growth in our forests as well may be ruined. The enormous loss suffered in the 17 States of the neighboring Republic, where the Scale is ravaging, is but a measure of what this Province will escape by the Government's admirable action. Quite appropriate in this connection is the following extract from an interview with Albert Ray, proprietor of the Pros- pect 11111 fruit farm, near St. Catharines, Ontario, in the Buffalo Ex. prose of Jan. Silt ins1. "My politics are opposed to the Govern- ment of Ontario," said Mr. Ray, "butt I must say that in Mr.. Dryden the present administration has a most competent man. When he (asked me to come to Toronto t0 look over his bill, I and those with me, expected to find that we were necessary to the perfection of that bill. But we were not. The bill had been drafted and was submitted to us for our approval. We found the ground fully covered and instead of teaching the Minister how to preserve the fruit, we found ourselves listening to Mr. Dryden's plans. It would be impossible to find a more capable Minister of Agriculture in the Province. Wo were delighted with ]rim." "It is the Governmenb's intention," continued Mr. Ray, "to destroy, or cause to be destroyed, every fruit tree that is known to be infected with the San Jose Sable. It is believed that the pest was brought into Canada from United States nurseries, and it has become so fatal to the fruit trees that extreme mea0nres are necessary. The bill provides for Gorman. seinen to anamouut whioh will suable the grower to replace the trees without ex. pence to himself, and the penalty for no- gleoting to destroy infected trees is snob as to induce ovary owner of an orchard to see that tho late is needed out. Wiles the infected trees are destroyed we can then start over again under a new law providing for the rigid inspection of all imported nursery stook and the exclusion of trees affected by the Seale."

Isaiah, 43331 ohap10r and let verse, "I have called thea by thy name, thou art Mine," was Rev. Mr. Allen's text last Sabbath morning. (1) The Name ; (2) The Call ; (3) The Claim. Romans 14 and 21, and 1st Oor. 14 and 18 were the foundation for a sermon on "Is it Right to Dance or Play Cards 7" at the. evening service. The speaker said the answering of a query like this should not depend on personal opinion, nor merely the opinion of the ohuroh, but a ]higher authority must determine. The Bible is the high. est Court. We must judge of the righb or wrong of many things by the results. The dance and card table, like many other mo e n amusements, E d r menta have become se an institution and must be considered from that standpoint. As pastor he gave his testimony oovering a period oC about 25 years, and this was followed by the verdict pronounced by the Methodist, Presbyterian, Anglican and Roman Catholic) ohurobes, which was in no case favorable, the general opinion being that it oonduoed to lets hours, squandering of time and a dwarfing of religious life, if nothing worse. The well-being of others should be the serious ooneideration of every Christian. Mr. Allen's sermon was moderate in its tone, yet decisive and decided enough to make many people think seriously on the subject. C.o uadiatn Newer.
