Wm. Sohnook arrived home from a visit
to North Miohigaa, whither he went on
a proapeoting trip of 10 or 12 daye. The
0001100 did not altogether snit him, but
be may yet trade his 60 mores on the 12th
mon. of Grey for land in Michigan. He
thinks there are opportunities of making
money there that do nob exist here. As
many as 40 bushels of potatoes are grown
to the more ; 85 to 40 bushels of peas ;
oats about 40 bushels, and a good ample
of wheat, at 25 bushels to the aore. Fruit
woo a good Drop there this year. Sugar
beets are largely grown and corn appears
to be a staple orop. Cattle are not kept
in large numbers, but the bog crop is
good.
PREACHER AND rO1ttTI('e.
To the Editor of Tun Pm;
DEAR Sin,—Allow me a fete lines to
Aorreot two statemeubs made by Rev. J.
G. Yelland on Sunday evening last. In
omens of an attaol{ on polibiafane in
general, and Dr, Macdonald, M. P., in
psrtioalar, be attributes to tbe latter two
etatemeute whinh the Dr. did not maks
and asked the question "Now, who was
right, Dr. Macdonald or I ?" He said
that our M. P. stated tbat Sir Wilfrid
Lander did not make use of the ante -
mount said to hove been made by him
in 1894 in Winnipeg, regarding Prohibi-
tion. Again he says Dr. Macdonald de-
elared than the Dominion Alliance was
oompoeed of only 6 persons. Any person
who attended Ethel meeting will be able to
tell Rev. Me. Yelland that our M, P. said
no such thing. It will now be in order
for liev, Mr, Yelland to prove, es he said
he intended doing, that Mr. Tarte made
certain statements on the floor of the
House regarding the Metbodialo of Anti.
coati. Youre truly,

The annual meeting of the 130010515
Branch was held in Melville chnroh on
Monday evening of tile week. Rev. Jno.
Roes, B. A., the pastor, condnotod the
opening devotional oxeroiees after which
President Thne. Strachan took the °hair
and gave a few appropriate remarks.
The Secretary Treasurer read the
annual report allowing last year's funds
collected at tole Blanch t0 be 5103, For
the poet 18 years during which, the pres.
out Seoretary Treasurer hen held olBoe,
there is ouly one year in which the ao0•
tributions were under $100. The total
amount collected was 52,371 or en aver-
age of nearly 8188.
Rev. W. T. Hall, Pneabyteria0 minister,
of Belgrave, was the agent of the Society
this year. His address was a clear out,
instrnotive and interesting one. He
showed that the Bible was a miraole in
its Compilation ; its Preservation; and
its Contents. The Bible Sooiety should
be warmly supported because of the great
work it is doing, and if the Christian
people thought of the degraded condition
of the world and the value of a soul they
would rouse themselves, The Society is
the ally of the Missionary enterprise of
every church. In 1897 the output of
bibles from the British and Foreign Bible
Society presses was 4,887,158 end in 1898
the number was increased to 4,479,439
and at that rate it would take 850 years
to supply the world, so great is the field.
''2100 million bibles for 15 hundred million
people, about one bible for every six.
There are only some 18 bibles to every
thousand in Austria-Hungary and about
3 to the thousand among the R. 0. popu-
lation. The translations into various
languages and dialeots now reach 400, as
compared with the 14 languages in which
the people spoke at Pentecost. 725
oolportoors and 550 Bible women are
engaged iu disseminating the Word of
God. The latter among 31,600 hearers
every week in India who hear the Bible
read ; 20,000 bibles have been sold to
them and 2,000 oan now read for then
seine. The Upper Canada Society con.
tributed 57053 to the parent Sooiety last
year and $2750 to the Quebec Auxiliary.
!Air. Daniels, of Persia, states that through
the iniieunoe of one bible 20 or 80 converts
are already known. Rev. Mr. Hall gave
a number of illustrations bearing on the
points advanced and urged hearty sup.
port to this right arm of Christian work.
Rev. Jno. Holmes, of the Itletbodiet
church, addneseed the meeting for a
short time.
The election of office bearers for the
next year resulted as follows :—
President, Rev. R. Paul ;
Vice Presidents, the resident minis -
term ;
SeoretaryTreaeurer, W. FL -Kerr ;
l ssietant Seoretary, A. M. McKay ;
Depositor, G. A. Deadman ;
Directors, Walter Innes, J. Irwin and
B. Gerry.
Mr. Sbraohan, the retiring President,
has 000091ed the position for the past 14
years and has always been an interested
worker in the cause.
Votes of thauks were passed to the
President, last year's collectors and
Revds. Messrs. Hall and Holmes.
Collection amounted to $3.55.
The choir of the ohnroh sang a couple
of suitable selections.
Rev. Mr. Paul pronounced the Bene-
diction and a very poorly attended meet-
ing was brought to a close. Those who
absented themselves missed a good
address. A meeting of the Direotorate
will be held 0n Saturday of this week at
2 p. m.. at Tis Panto appoint oolleotors
and arrange for looal meetings in 000000 -
