The Brussels Post, 1898-12-16, Page 4Cht `Nrusstk zst. FRIDAY, DEC. 16, 189B, Twine has grown and hardness increae. ea to ouch an extent on the Interim lonial railway that the Government has given a big order for additional locomotives and oars. This is a good job as the road has for years .been badly mismanaged end was often a direct lose to the Country, It would appear, however, that there is ample room fore good paying bnsinees end under proper supervision we expect the Iatefooldnial Zine will no longer be a byword and laughing stook. Tills Northwest has bad quite a boom this year although there was not much said about it. Over 08,000 acres of land were sold by the North-west Land Co. This le 05,000 acres more than was sold last year, and gives a little inkling of Canada's growing time. What the Western provinces require more than anything else is permanent, working eel - tiers, who will take up land and develop the country. They have had more than their share of speculators, and have suf. fared to no small extent thereby. Tuaesnmr of last week Provincial e'en• Lions were held in West Huron and Hal. ton. Both went Liberal, re•eleoling the same gentlemen who won last March, by increased mej,rities. Hon. Mr. Garrow had 45 to the good Thursday when it required the Retnrning officer's vote to elect him al the general elections. Mr. Barber, paper manufacturer, of Ceorgetown, defeated Ool. Kerns quite handily, Northumberland County fe ex- pected to reelect Mr, Douglas. Ile is opposed by Dr. Willoughby. Loan Au xu,azN will not hesitate to speaka good word far the Dominion of Canada as opportunity may offer. At a luncheon given at Aberdeen in honor of Lord and Lady Aberdeen Saturday, hie lordship, in dealing with the attitude ot Caoada towards the empire, said that Canadians were proud of their oonotry. He said that it was conceivable that the feeling might have been misdirected into a form and tendency that would have hindered the formation of a true attach. meet to the mother oeuutry, but that it was a great happiness to have observed and to be able to deolare that snob had not been the case. There was increasing recognition and understanding of the fact that good Canadian ought to mean good Britons. Canada ie loyal, he asserted, loyal to the Queen and to British oonueo• tion. Her present relations bear the happiest aspect, and he concluded with an assurance that her pro British attitude in no sense implied antagonism to the 'United States. Titsaa appears to be a little mieueder- atanding of the law ooneerning the elec- tion of County Councillors so we give a short outline along this line. Two Co. Councillors are to be chosen for each of the 8 divisione in Huron, the 10 men so elected oonatitnting the 00. Council for the incoming 2 years. Nominations will be held no Monday next, 10th inst., from 1 to 2 o'alook. The division to whioh Grey, Morris and Bruseets belong is No. 0 and the nomination for it will be held in Brussels Town Hall, with F. S. Scott as Nominating Officer. If only two oundi dates are nominated or resignations re. duce the number to two they will be de. Clared cleated by acclamation, otherwise) h an election will be held on Monday, January 2nd., in connection with the Municipal elections, polling taking place at the name booths. Nominees may re, sign on the day of nomination or the following day, if on the latter it must be put in writing. Every candidate must possess the property qualifioation of a Reeve in town. Any elector qualified to vote at a Maniaipal election is entitled to two votee at the Co. Council election. Walton Union S, S. Convention. The eighth annual meeting of the Walton Polon Sabbath School Associ- ation was held to Dnff'a church on Men• day afternoon and evening, being poet poised front Thursday of lost week on account of the storm, There was n good attendance and a marked interest maul. felted throughout the seesions that can- not fail to be produotive of good. President Jonathan Moore occupied the chair, and the devotional exercises were wanted by Revda. Messrs, For. rest and Givens. First came a talk on "Benefits of Inter. national S. S, lessons," by Goo, Grigg, who brought out a member of good points among them being :—They are the work of the ablest minds in the Church ; wise selections ; give a world-wide study ; a knowledge of where the lesson is al. ways obtainable ; Christian unity and sympathy, all studying the same lesson. Jas. Bolger introduced the important topio, "Oceoperatioo of Parents, Superin- tendent and Teachers," and demonstrat- ed the necessity and many advantages of unity and co partnership, The speaker urged au inoreaseof this spirit. Next camp an excellent paper on the "Home Deportment in S. 5, work," by Miss Annie Gardiner. As the paper will be published in TUE POST, we will not attempt a summary here. "How to interest scholars in the Iee. eon," was the practical subject allotted to 12. E. Burkholder, Among other means he instanced :—Regularity of attendance and punctuality by teacher ; come pre- pared ; let your olase know you are interested in them ; teach by question and answer ; use simple language ; make scholars feel that they area necos• city to the class. A full and free diecusaion was entered upon in the Conference on the topics, "How should the S. S. be supported financially ?" ; "S. S. discipline," and "How to secure efficient teachers." This brought the afternoon session to a close. The evening session opened at 7.30 o'clock, with Mr. Moore in the chair. After the hymn "To the work," was heartily song, Ray. lir. Tiffin led in prayer. II. E. Burkholder, the Presi dentlelect was called to the chair and spoke a few appropriate words and asked for the aid of all S. S. workers for the coming year. On motion of Jas. Bolger and Wm. Pollard, a vote of thanks was passed to the retiring President. "Take me as I am," was the next hymn, and at the conclusion of it Rev. Mr. Tiffin intro. (limed the topic "How to retain and in. crease spirituality in the S. S." The importance of spiritual life in the school was set forth, and the necessity of teach- ers enjoying this blessing dwelt upou. The following points were set oat as tending to increase of spirituality :—If masses are unruly it is often better to disband them ; the Superintendent should speak kindly to the school in reference to the subject ; choose devotion. al hymns ; one form should be followed in prayer, and prayer should be brief and pointed ; read the Scriptures in school so that the whole school will take part ; and the teacher should feel a personal interest in every pupil ; teach to the heart. This address gave the key note to the evening's paogram, and was ably presented by Mr. Tiffin. Bev. Mr. Givens, of Syraonae,t N. X., followed, emphasizing what Rev. Mr. Tiffin had said, and dwelling on the necessity of personal piety. Teach the Word of God instead of science or pbil. osophy. If not, the soul is starved and spirituality will neither abide nor in. crease. Rev. Mr. Given's remarks were timely and highly appreciated. W. H. Kerr spoke on the Elements of successful Sabbath school teaching, It should be—(1) Plain ; (2) Pointed ; (3) Prayerful ; (4) Pracbioal. A fine taloa- tion of mueio was rendered and Mise E. Smith then read a moeb excellent paper on "The Missionary 6epartment of the Sabbath SobooI." It Covered the ground splendidly, and it will be presented to our readers in its entirety in the near future. Rev. Mr. Forrest spoke a few words commendatory of the addresses and papers presented, and supplemented the ideas seb out by the various speakers. The closing address was given by Bar. inter Blair, and when we say he excelled imself, those who were not present will have some idea of what they missed, judging by Mr. Blair's former efforts. $is subject was "The Home and its Influences,' A goodly portion of it will be reproduced in a subsequent issue of Tun Pon, with the expectation of it do. ing no small amount of good. Hearty votes of thanks were passed to those its. listing in the program, Choir, &o. A balance of 57.41, in band after all expenses were paid, was very cheerfully and thoughtfully voted as is Christmas Box to the Lakeside Hospital for Child. These may both be given to one oundi. i r m date or may be given to two. In case the elector sees fit to give both votes to one Man he will mark two drosses instead of one opposite the candidate of big Chaise, Whore an elector is on the list in two munioipalities in a Oa. Council District lie must vote in the one in which he re- sides. The Nominating ofllosr mahee Me official returns to the Go. Clerk the day following the election. In oath of a tie the (lasting vote is is the hands of the Nominating officer for the Dietriot. The expenses of the election 1s borne by the County 'Aden when a municipal eleotion is held and then the looal municipality pays the expenses outside ot the Norninat. ing al31ase's fee, The Desoronto Car Works are building 50 box oars for the Interoolonfal Railway. Annie Hughey, a girl of 17 years, Com. milted suicide neer Thornton, by hang. lou. It, E. Van Horne, a Grand Trunk brakeman, was fatally crushed between 2 care at London, Thos. Lollop, a prominent oitigen of Chatham, oommibted suicide by shooting himself in the head.

After e, few announces ants, the 8th annual Convention (and perhaps as successful as any) of the Walton S. S. Aseooiation was brought to a conclusion by Rev. Mr Givens pronouncing the Benediction. One very pleasing feature 15 9110 unani. mity that prevails in the Aeeociation by the different denominations represented. Miss Ferguson presided at the organ in her usual efficient manner.
