The Synod of Hamilton and London met in Zion ohuroh, Brentford, this week. The London Conference of the Metho- dist church will meet at Windsor, May 31. In well informed circles it is said that the two moat prominent names mentioned in oonneotion with the Presi- dsnay, are Rev. Joseph Edge, of London, and Rev. Dr. Hannon, of Stratford, It was decided last Saturday ab a meet- ing of the Estimative to hold the annual District Sabbath School Convention in the Methodist ohuroh, Brussels, on Tues. day, May 30. The program was drafted out and a good list of Wyllie selected. All the Sabbath sobools in Grey and Morris townships, Brussels, Walton and Blnevale are included and will receive doe notioe of the Convention. The examinations of probationers and oandidates in connection with the Lon- don Methodist Conference took place last week in Front Street Methodist ohuroh, Strathroy. The following are the names of those who passed :—W. J. Mortimer, Lambeth ; J. F. B.night, Jean- nette's Creek ; A. Bond, Tupperville ; J. E. Hunter, Ethel • Ralph Steele, Thorndale ; A. W. Budd, Watdsville ; Harvey 71;ennedy, Chatham ; W. A. GR. ford, Essex ; W. A. Walden, Maple Grove ; John W. Aikine, Tupperville. At the transfer committee meeting of the Methodist ohnrab, held in Toronto last week, the following ministers were traneferred into the London Conference : Rev. Robert Phillips, from Hamilton, to take effeot May 31st ; Rev. W. G. How• son, from Toronto, to take effect May 31 ; Bev. Tbeopbilue Hall, from Hamilton, to take effeot forthwith. From the Londou Conference, Rev. Charles Smith was transferred to Toronto, to take effect ou June 7th ; Rev. A. I. Snyder to Hamil- ton, to take effect Jane 1st. Among those reoeiving the degree of Doctor of Divinity ab the Presbyterian College, Montreal, was the Rev. Robt. Johnston, B. A„ B. D., of St. Andrew's Cborob, London, Ont. Mr. Johnston will be the first graduate of the college to take the degree by examination, and will hence hold the place of honor. Dr. Johnston is a gold medalist, both at McGill and in theology, and during the past few years has received several calls to important pulpits on the other side of the line, bat his sturdy loyalty has induced him to remain in Canada. He will be one of the two Canadians to have a place on the programme of the Pan -Presbyterian Counoil, whioh meets in Washington in September next. During last week the Twentieth Cen- tury Fund Committee met. London Conference was represented by W. J. Ferguson, of Stratford. This is a move- ment intended to reaohevery member, as well as devoted adherents to the ohuroh. It will not be pressed upon anyone, but submitted on a basis of honest gratitude. The work will be put into operation at the next annual Conferences, and the second Sunday in October is set apart as the day of universal simultaneous action. An historic roll will be prepared upon which will be engraved the names of all contri- butors. This is to be kept se a memorial of the great event and it is hoped that at least a million names will be enrolled. Last Sabbath Rev. E. A. Fear, of At- wood, ocoupied the pulpit of the Metho• disteburob here and gave• two exoellent discourses. In the morning he chose St. John 19:25—"The Cross" as bis text, and developed the snbjeot as follows :—(1) The Cross as it relates to God. Ib ebow- ed His estimate of sin, humanity and His Love ; (2) The Cross as it relates to Ohrist.—An example of perfect obedience, of Hie sufferings and victory ; (3) The Cross as it relates to mankind—An ex, ample of man's helplessness ; a witueeser of man's gailt ; a pledge of salvation. Prov. 4:18 was the evening theme. "The path of the just, Seo." (I) The path ; (2) The individuals wbo travel the path ; (3) The figure used—the shining light ; (4) Progress in the path. Rev. Mr. Fear's parents and brothers were old residents of Brussels and he is also acquainted with a good many in this locality. EUTASiAAT 011851001.

We are not disheartened by our difficulties and we are deeply grateful for the gumless we have had. The Gospel is as powerful in the hearts of the aborigines of the North- west coast, who are just emerging from the darkness of the stone age, as amongst those who have civilization for hundreds of years. Please express to our newly found friends our sincere gratitude for their interest in our behalf. With kind regards, in which Mrs. Raley joins, Yours truly, GEORGE H. RALET. LAMB BUYING.

Robert Whitelaw, the well known pro- prietor of Whitelaw'e foundry at Wood - stook, had all the flogere an both hands taken off in a buzz saw planer at hie foundry on April 17th. The machine was not level, and he took a block of wood and tried to hammer it down. Is doing so both Lauds slipped into, the knives. A Stratford Beaoon correspondent from Amolree writes that he interviewed Henry Wismar of that village in refer- ence to the A. E.

Mr. Wismar states that be bas no brother of that name, bot that be has oonsins galore, soma of whom were of a wandering turn of mind, and might have strayed away to that far.off part of the world. Daniel Henofer, a farmer near Zurich, tried a trick which will likely teach bin a lesson. It appears that hie cattle for some time past had been bothered with lice. Monday night he tried how ooal oil would work on them. After thoroughly saturating a heifer with oil, he was anxious to know if it would baro. He applied a match to bbe animal, and was surprised at the way it worked, burning several head of cattle, also the baro, with contents. The loss ie beavy ; no losur- anoe. Mr. Henofer was badly burned, but will recover.

After having spent exactly 81 days in a discussion which even some of the Con, servativa members thought could have been disposed of in less than a third of the time, the first division of the House was reached on Tuesday nieht of last week, when by a vote of 102 to 48, the Government was sustained by a majority of 54 on the Ynkou affairs. About 00 members were absent, most of whom were "paired," bat 4 Liberals and 1 Com servativa were absent without being paired. This would make the Govern- ment majority 57. Hou.

As most people know, the sessional al. laminae is $1,000, but there are several provisions in connection with this. If a session lasts only 30 days, the members then receive only $10 per day ; if over 80 days they are entitled to full sessional indemnity,but no more then this amount, no matter bow loug the session lasts. Members are allowed 15 days' absence during the session, but for every day they are away more than tbie they are docked $8 per day. When living and other expenses are taken into amount, the members have not a great deal of their sessional allowance to Balt away, and the testimony of many is that Parlia- mentary life is more for glory — and abnee—tban for wealth, The pablio may be interested in know- ing something of the habits of a few of the Cabinet Ministere, Mr. Laurier, Mr. Tarte, Mr. Cartwright, Mr. Davies, Mr. Fielding, Mr. Fisher. Mr. Mulook, Mr. July and Dr. Borden do not smoke. Mr. Patereoa, Mr. Sifton, Mr. Fielding, Mr. Joly, Mr. Mills and Mr. Blair are total abetainere. Those of the ministery wbo take any wine or liquor at all, do so only at banquets and snob like gathering. This is a pretty good showing, consider- ing the temptations they are snbjeot to. What is of greater importance is the fent that the breath of moral scandal bas never assailed the ohmmeter of any mem. bar of the administration.
