Service in the R. 0. ohnroh next Sab- bath. Thursday evening Rev. S. J. Allis gave a report of the Epworth League Conven• time held at London last week. Subjects for next Sabbath in Melville church will be :—Morning, "Beulah Lund," and in the evening "Atheist." Rev. J. F. Stewart, of Ethel, will preach in Brussels Methodist ohuroh next Sunday morning. The pastor, Rev. S. J. Alliu, will candied the evening service. Evening topio, "Common Errors." The Christian Guardian, Iooking into the salaries of Methodist ministers in Canada, finds that 380 of them are paid lees than $500, 803 receive between $500 and $1,000, 135 get from $1,000 up to $2,. 000, while only 10 receive $2,000 or over. About five-eighths of the whole, it Linde, are existing on salaries falling between $500 and $1,000, and nine -teethe are un- der the $1,000. This is evidenoe sufd- oient that "fat livings" are not to be found in Methodism. Au agitation to raise the average would be in order, and especially to provide that the least in decency that even an unmarried man should receive would be $500. Rev. W. E. Kerr, of llensall, preached in the Methodist church here last Sab- bath. His morning discourse was found- ed on Boa. 7th chapter and 12th verse, "For wisdom is a defence and money is a defense ; but the exoellenoy of knowledge is that wisdom giveth life to them that have it." The sermon was in behalf of the Eduoation0l Fund of the ohuroh 0,0d was designed to show the duty of every- body to live on the highest plane of life possible. In the evening the text, was Ser, 5th ohap, and lob verse, "Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem and see now and know and Beek in the broad places thereof if ye can find a man." Some of the essentials to true manhood were stated a :—(1) IntelleotUal e •. } development ; (2) Possess a heart as well as a band ; (8) Steadfastness of purpose and a determined will ; (4) Christian de- votion, If the reverend gentleman were not our brother we would be free to state that he is a good preacher. In connection with the evening service Mrs. Brownlee, of Brookville, daughter of Postmaster Farrow, sang with very pleasing effect that beautiful solo, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." Last Sabbath in Melville oburolt Rev. Jno. Ross preached two very interesting di000urses. The morning text was "The Mountains of Spi000," Song of Solomon, 8:14. The Delectable mountains were deooribed es a place of (1) Spiritual Ele. vation ; this exalted po5rtion in Christ - fan life and experience oan be gained only by aspiration and effort. (2) Spiri- tuel Deleotation, because of the delight- ful scenes whioh were beheld there and the delightful refreshment which was enjoyed. (3) Spiritual Instruction ; Mho by the ebopherds to mount Error, mount Caption, the nameleoe mountain and mount Clear, they were taught many impressive lemmon%. In the evening the 0peaker dwelt on the words "1 will give you pastors according to Mine heart, who ohall feed you with knowledge and underotanding," Jen, 8:15. The names borne by the four shepherds of the Delec- table mountains ate eignffioant of four great qualities to be 0oagllt by every minister who would be is pastor aoaord- ing to God's heart. These are (1) Known. oho ; this' necessary quality oan be ao- (Mired only by intolleatual applioabion and Spiritual inoight, the latter being the complement of the termer, (2) Expeti- W . H. KERR, Prop, 11111013 ; this iooludee a personal acquaint. anoe with the truth and with Cod, and a true knowledge of his own heart, knowing which he will know the heart of universal man. (8) Wetahfalnese ; this is to be exercised over himself as to his life and doctrine and over his Hook, (4) Sinter. ity ; this should pervade every 11110rallo0 and every notion. All these qualities aro just as desirable for the people as for the pastor. People We Talk About. Mrs. J. A. Stewart is visiting at To- ronto. Miss Rills Bunter is visiting at Oran. brook. Mre. 1.
