ere of this country who thereby profit
by the discoveries without lose of
either time or money. Under Pres.
ident Mille and hie able staff the
Ontario Experimental Farm hes at-
tained a high standard of excellence
and very few of the many critical visitors
leave it disappointed or without benefit
in many ways. Every progressive
farmer takes advautage of up•to-date
methods.

The oburahee are almost a unit on the
banishment of the liquor traffic and an
y
person who abampione its retention or
seeks to pull down what has taken yeare
to build up finds rather a thorny path to
walk in. In connection with the resent
Conferences of the Methodist Charoh no
uncertain sound was given and both the
clergy and laity are a unit in the forward
marob. The Presbyterian Assembly, at
Montreal, showed no sign of retreat and
Principal Grant found himself hopelessly
in the minority when pressure was
brought to bear on a reoord of votes for
and against the enactment of Prohibition.
At London last week the Synod of the
English ahnrch discussed the question
and while there was a manifest differenoe
of opinion es to a possible interference
with personal rights the concluding
words of Bishop Baldwin ale worthy of
close attention as they are from the head
of that body. He said : —"He bad no
doubt that all the members were at heart
favorable to temperance. "There is no
doubt," be said, "that thousands of our
men go down to ruin through the liquor
aurae. We don't want to curtail your
liberty, but is it right to stand by and
see our young mensupplied with the
meaoe of self.destruotiou ? I do not say
that I can tell what should be doue, but I
will do anything today or any other day
to advance temperance. At all times I
will act a000rding to my 0onviotione, and
let every man do the name. When I see
so many mauaoled and tied down by this
accursed passion for drink—I say we
should do something to remedy the evil.
In Gok'e name we must do something.
I do not say that a man should not take
a glass of liquor, if it is necessary, but I
will say that if the Lord spares ere I am
going to east a vote for prohibition at
eleotion day." (Lona applause.)

Secretary Cooper's Annual
Report.
The following is Secretary Cooper's
annual report given at the Huron County
0. E. Convention, Wingham, June 22nd,
1898 :—
It le it pleasure as I again render you
an account of my stewardship, to record
the uuoeasing and ever increasing good.
nese of God toward the movement in
whose intereet we are gathered.
The first railroad was built in 1814, the
first Christian Lndeavor Society was or.
ganized in 1881-67 years later: Now
there are in the world 431,000 miles of
railroad, and 8,000,000 Endeavorers, or 7
to a mile, The first railroad in Huron
County was built in 1858, the first Chris-
tian Endeavor Society in Huron (and al.
so the first Christian Endeavor Society
in Canada) was organized in North street
Methodist church, Goderich, in 1881, 23
years later. Now there are in this Gonn.
ty 190 miles of railway, and 5,471 En-
deavorero and Epworth Leaguers, or 45
to a mile; of this number 3,914 are mem.
bars of the ohuroh, 209 having joined the
church from the Societies during the
past year. 15 locomotives are doing the
work of the railroad companies in Huron,
while 105 Young People's Societies are
working for Christ and the Church.
Last Spring the number of passengers
was so great that the C. P. R. had to
send out their daily train in several eec-
tfons ; just eo with the Huron County
Christian Endeavor Union. It would be
impossible for all of our members to get
on board one train, hence we have to
travel in sentione.
The first section has on board one Con-
gregational Sooieby, with 62 members ;
two Baptist Societies, with 69 members ;
and throe Church of England Soeities
with 102 members.
The second, third, fourth and fifth sec-
tions aro Societies belonging to the Pree-
byterian ohuroh-89 Sooietiee, with a
total membership of 2000, The largest
Soofeby in these sentione is the one in
connection with Blyth Preebyterian
church, which has 100 members.
The sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth
and eleventh sections belong to the
Methodist church ; they have on board 65
Senior and 12 Junior Societies with a
total membership of 3,253. The largest
Methodist Society is the one in connec.
tion with the Luaknow thumb, which has
150 members.
We sometime hoar Christian Endeavor
being spoken of as undenominational, but
I am glad to say it is Only said by those
who do not tmderetand out true prin-
ciples. It is a faob that each local C. E.
Society is first a undenominational So-
ciety. The world-wide movement is in-
terdenominational, but there is no place
for the word "undenominational" in the
vocabulary of Christian Endeavor. Re-
member that each Endeavorer is pledged
to his own church and as long as that is
true Christian Endeavor can take no
, stops without its ehurola's leadership.
We have uuw ih the wiugltam. Con-
vent ion, the best example 1 know of
spiritual iuter.denominational fellowship,
and 0 11110 11, and believe in 11, and praise
the Lord for it, and want more of it.
Interdenominational fellowship is nn
flimsy elnarn that it needs to be eroded
upon ignomanee. Yon are no less cordial
in fellowship with your Methodist
brethren hewnse you strive to be a loyal
Presbyterian. Nor will any onebe who
has taken a broad enough view to em-
brace the varied intereets of his own de.
nomination. True inber•denominatioual
fellowebip will rejoice in the 51gn8 of
God's hand working with others ; while
loyal to our own, we shall say God speed
to all who, like us, are working to bring
to earth His Kingdom, which is righteous.
nese and peace and joy in the Holy
Spirit.
In these sections, or divisions, of this
Christian Endeavor train, the cars flay
be a little afferent, and various methods
may be used by the Conductors, but they
all belong to the sauna train, which is
steaming forward to the Celestial City.
You all know that the locomotives used
by the G. T. R. incl 0. P. 11. are a com-
bination of steel, coal, water and fire, a
combination that goes. Every Christian
Eudeavor Society in Huron also has "go"
in in it, (or at least should have).
With the solidity of iron the locomotive
combines the swiftness of the wine. So
does the Christian Endeavor movement,
and so with anything else that is nob at a
standstill.
But with all the dangers attending
travel by rail, 11 has proved time and
again to be safer than walking. So with
the Christian Eudeavor movement.
The Lookout Committee is the head-
light of the Christian Endeavor Loco-
motive. It warns us of the obstructions
to our spiritual progrese. It falls upon
broken vows, it darts at doubt and hesi-
tation and shows them up in their true
light. God bless the work of the Look-
out Committees.
One of the great driving wheels of the
Christian Endeavor locomotive is the
Prayer Meeting Committee, another is
the Missionary Committee, and just here
I wish to say that during the past year
thr Societies of the Union have raised
over 8800 for missions, the largest con-
tributing Sooietiee being, Brucefield Pres-
byterian, 3100 ; Blyth Presbyterian, 870
Hensel]. Presbyterian, 850 ; Seaforth
Presbyteriap, $47:60.
The bell of the locomotive is the Music
Committee.
The whistle is the Executive Commit•
tee which announces the movements of
the train and the intention of the magi.
neer.
The firemen of all Ohristiau Endeavor
Locomotives is the pastor. No engine
could run a foot without a fireman, he
both starts the fire and keeps it going.
He is the power that bridge together the
power of the steam and the power of the
engine.
And so every Christian Endeavor train
needs the skilful, energetic hand of the
pastor to bring the impulse of the spirit
to bear upon the ready brains and mus-
cies of God's youth. God bless the
earnest, entbusiasbic,unselfish, consecrat-
ed pastors of Huron county.
The steam is the fire of theHoly Spirit.
The pledge is the cylinder, the piston, the
conneotiug rod and the backbone of every
Society.
The engineer is oinvisible. He ie our
Lord Jesus Christ. To His control we
resign every lever of our lives.
The locomotive is obedient to the least
touch of its Master. It is delicately sen-
sitive as a thing of life. At the pressure
of a finger it leaps ahead. Oh I may
every Society in Huron be obedient to the
slightest wish of the Unseen Engineer.
He knows the road, every inch of it. He
knows His engine, every screw thread.
He knows the time table and will avoid
all accidents.
With the Uneesn Engineer at the
throttle of aur Christian Endeavor train
we will make good time and will soon roll
at last into the Celestial Station,
Let us raise our standard ever higher,
let us be content with no past victories,
with no former indications of the Divine
favor. Let us stand ever more faithfully
for personal communion with a personal
God : for the practice of Hie presence in
the quiet hoar ; for the spread of IIfs
kingdom by our systematic gifts ; for the
out spoken unabashed confession of
Christ in every weekly meeting ; for the
expression of consecration in the monthly
covenant service ; for supreme loyalty to
our own church; for the widest fellowship
with all those who love our Lord.
On these prinniplos God has set the
seal of Hie approval, if statistics mean
anything,
Holding to these principles in the
future, the Huron Comity Christian En•
cleaver Union will ever continue to win
its widening way.

Monday, 201h was tlteiGlsb anniversary
of the ascension of Queen Viotoria to
the throne of Great Britain. Just after
she had celebrated her 18th birthday, the
modest maiden, by the death of King
William, was threat into the whibe light
of supreme authority, There was a
memorable lank of ceremony, the ohroni.
oler of the portentous event tells us, ab.

nous task of ruler of the greatest empire
that has ever existed. The Archbishop
of Canterbury and the Lord Chamberlain
carried the newe of the old King's death
to Kensington Palade, and were told that
the princess was asleep and must not be
disturbed. Then the archbishop made
the first statement of her position ; "We
have come on business of state to the
Queen,' he said, "and she must be
nroueed even from sweet sleep for that."
The news being conveyed to her un•
crowned majesty, she at once gave a les.
son to all women forever, not to keep
men of business waiting, She came at
once into the room, her night cap east
aside, and her hair loosely coiled, and
with only a shawl over the white night
robes she wore, her feet hastily thrust in-
to bed room slippers. Her large sympa,
thetio eyes were full of tears, but she
was, we are informed, collected and
dignified. The first words she uttered
were a request to the archbishop, "I aelc
your prayers on my behalf." And 06
Queen Vietoria began the reign wbieb
