It was a great day—was Wednesday— for the Caledonian games, Against great dif ieulties the members of Camp Mao - phenols, No, 48, S, 0, 5, put forth great efforts bo make the games worthy of sue- ceec1iug celebrations of a similar nature, for this 1a bub the first of a scrip of an. Mud games which ti the. am it hold ' a 1 g win n Kincardine. Owing to a rival excursion to Toronto and Niagara the orowvde whish arrived on the Guelph and London trains Were not so lmrge as expeebed, butRipley, Luoknow, Wingham and Brussels were fairly welireprssented. Despite the busy season with the farmers the people flock- ed into town in buggies and carriages. The pipers band of the 48th Highlanders arrived the night' before on .the 11 train and the niusio they produced on the bag- pipes was inspiriting enough for anyone, The Kincardine Flute Band, under the leadership of Peter MoKerracltor, clreiv litany eomplimenbny remarks' from the visitors present. Groat interest attached to the hose reel race between Kincardine and Wingham teams. Wingham has boon winning all along the line, but they could not win agaiusb tho Invinoibles of Kincardine. The judges of the race were T. Bell, jr., ' Or Wingllam, J,' V. Ellis, of Iiiuoardiue, and J. P. Griffin, of Fremont, Ohio. The timekeepers were T. Humphreys, of To - route, B. D. Barnes, of. Kincardine, and T. Bell jr., of Wingham. Theprize was $75. After' the hose reel race the people crowded into the Lansdowne Park, where the geuuincCaledouian games were held, The liberal prizes offered had drawn the best athletes, dancers and pipers in Can- ada and the -United States. Owing to the poor accommodation which Lans- downe Park affords to spectators, the management was 'hampered by people crowding into the arena. Were ib not for that, the games here could truthfully be denominated as the best ever held in Western Ontario. 000 CONCitidT, The concert at night was the best Scot- tish concert ever held in town, Miss Jean Mortimer has a fine stage appear- ance, is perfectly unaffected in speech and demeanor, and can sing a Scotch song divinely. Harry Rich was great in humor and caricature and kept the audi- ence in laughter daring all his numbers. The reet of the program was by the prize pipers and dancers. Miss P. 0. William. son was accompanist and A. Campbell, I. P. S., chairman. entad Lrei'. Tug-of-War—Kinoardine and Ripley— decided in favor of Kincardine. LOCAL 100N-rkenteae1Ai,.

(The Canada Presbyterian) Another word needs to be said on env phase of the anti-Catholic agitation in Ontario. In December lash there was published in this paper an article entitled "A. Word of Warning," by 511e Rev. J. A. Macdonald, of t. Thomas. to . It c , S 1 to as was a soothing a oral menti 0one 1 a u r n £ who was g g regarded as the high priestess of the P. P, A. movement. These are oharacteris• tie sentences : "Tb is with extreme re- luctance that I write a name so redolent of all moral rottenness as Margaret L. Shepherd. It is not a question of the brain or falssnees of her ehargos against the Church of Borne. On lips like hers the Ten Commandments are immoral and the Sermon/ on the Mount corrupting." Every paragraph was crammed witltlibel- lous matter, but publication was consider- ed justifiable. The article was widely copied by the swaliar press and was seat. tered broadcast in leaflet form. A11 this carried with it, even as was predicted, the certain malediction of those whose craft was in danger, Sinister motives were suggested. The author and the publisher were alike denounced iu public lectures and in the secret lodge room. The most barefaced falsehoods were manufactured and circulated. To none of those .was it deemed necessary to re- turn an answer. It was left to the logic of events to vindicate the right. These matters are called to mind by the pubilication of some correspondence between the editor of the Huntsville Forester and the Rev. J. A. Macdonald. After referring to whathecalle "the stupid falsehoods of a self-confessed criminal," Mr. Macdonald says : "There are, however, minor matters now. Mrs. Shepherd is already cast-off by her old -tune friends and desperate ef- forts are being made to have her name forgobten. Many who a few months ago were ready to bravo all chargee against her charaeber,because they thoughb she would serve their purpose, and who secretly or publicly gave credence and currency to her malicious falsehoods, now area disgust at the mention of hormone. Bub hands that clasped Iters cannot so easily be cleansed or sweetened. With the gravest charges of embezzlement, drunkenness and gross immorality, which, if not founded on evidence that would bear the search -light of a court of justice were libellous, and with the makers an publishers of these charges unlibelled, fo any man or any body of leen to champi her cause is not a blunder but a crime, crime that cannot plead ignorance in it extenuation and for which the uttermost farthing of penalty must be paid." We revert to this distasteful subject fo the purpose of giving heavy emphasis to that strong and pertinent pparagraph. It 1s not a question of the vindication of Mr Macdonald or of this journal. It is not a question of the fate of Mrs. Shepherd The highest and sacredest publio interests aro involved. What needs to be said now, and said in unmistakably plain lan- guage, is that a crime has been committed against Protestantism and agaiusb moral- ity in Ontario, a crime too dark and too damnable to be quickly forgotten or lf�htly pardoned. A moment's refleotion will reveal ohs gravity of the offence. Au abandoned adventuress who has confessed to violating all the laws of decency and molality, masquerading in the stolen livery of Protestantism, has been admit. bed to Protestant pulpits,honorsd in Prot- estant circles, and for nearly two years has been assisted to plunder the pockets and corrupt the morals of Protestants in Ontario. Has any worse crime been committed within a decade ? Could may- thing ny thing more disastrous to the social, moral and spiritual welfare of the country he conceived ? And this is the crime of which they aro guilty who; pretending to be protectors of Protestantism, have be- tryed the sacred interests of truth and purity into the hands of one charged with driving a coach -and -four through the seventh commandmout and running riot- ously in the error of Balsam for hire. Let the case be justly grasped. Let the discrimination be justly made. And let the offenders be held to strict account. The leaclertain bilis crusade, the men and the women and the newspapers who have been looked up to and trusted by the great body of the members of the Protest - nit Protective Association and the Loyal Protestant Women of Canada, those who have assumed the responsibility of leader- ship—they are the guilty parties. The rank and file may bo pardoned for being ignorant. But in their leaders ignorance is itself a crime. With that "Word of Warning" in their hands, and with evi- dence m support of its charges within their reach, to plead ignorance is but to accentuate the heinousness of their of- fence and to confess their unfitness for the leadership of decant and honorable people. And ibis nob enough that she bo disowned by the politicians, the preachers and the press site beguiled into her ser- vice. It is not enough that the Loyal Women advise the public that the office of honorary supreme president has been abolished and that Mrs. Shepherd has been expelled from their society. Thfs will not satisfy the just clematis of an outraged public. There is a guilty past to be atoned for. There are offences against decency to be expiated. It has not been forgotten that foul and malicious slanders have been uttered behind the closed door of the lodge•room and whfe• pored darkly into the ear of the public. It .has not been forgotten that money was promised in the name of Probestautism to carry on a suit against a trusted Pres- byterian minister for daring to utter a word of warning against one of the most dangerous agents of political and social strife and moral corruption that has ever afflicted this country. It has not been forgotten, nor is it likely to be for a op- eration that the hateful fires of sectarian strife have been kindled in all parts of Ontario, and that the pnblicinind has boon impregnated with suspicion and dis- trust. All this and muolo more that be. loop to their crusade is ton 1•soenb and too shameful to be forgotten, and not until the offenders manifest penitence can they ]lope. to be forgiven by the Prot - W. H. KERI, Prop, eatant public) whose snored trust they have betrayed. But just judgment demands more than this. The loan and the newspapers and the organizations that have, under air- oumstanaes absolutely without extenua- tion, so culpably betrayed Proteetaubism into the hands of lust and hate must never again be entrusted with any in- bei,•e5t snored bo the commnnity,00 be al- lowed t to touch with one of their fingers th sceptre f vr.Leadership. vo pot ain society, in the church, or in the statis a thing, too holy, charged with powers too awful, to be risked in the hands of the ignorant, the incompetent, the corrupt. Margaret L. Shepherd will soon be rota gotten, but those who introduced her into the homes and churches and publlo life of Canada must never again be allowed to peso as lenders or protectors of Protest. autism. Because oftheir treachery they aro forever discredited and must bear on their foreheads the traitor's brand. Not otherwise can moral lawlessness be arrested, social strife allayed or the pause of religion stemma against the machinations of lust. METHODIST DELEGATE.^.

Birks, of Woodham, aocom- panted his son, Rev. A. K. /irks, to Brussels, last Sabbath. Mr. Birks' dia- oonrses, founded upon the text "Be of good cheer, it is I, bo not afraid," in the morning, and the ohmmeter of Daniel in the evsuing, were very highly appreciat- ed. Rev. Mr. Birks, sr., was stationed in Brussels about 30 years ago in °onuec. tion with the New Oonnexion church. He used to preach in the building now used by the Army and lived iu the par- sonage, now owned 'by H. James, John street. ErwozTn Lzaomt.—Monciay evening was Temperance night at the League meeting. The program was as follows Duett, "Sleeping On guard," Miss Nellie Ward and Mise Minnie Moore ; reading, "I'll take what father takes," Wm. Rozell ; iusbrumental duebt, harmonica and organ, W. RillOugh and arise Bella Smith ; reading, "The price of a drink," Miss Lnay, Hoare ; solo, "The beaubifal gates ajar," Joseph Killough ; address, How does body effect soul 7" W. A. Smith. It was an iutereating service. The Methodist Quadrennial Conference, at its last meeting appointed a committee to make a thorough investigation of the subject of the seperanocation allowances to Methodist ministers. The committee, making the Methodist world its field of inquiry, has acquired a large amount of information. It is ascertained that the average allowance to British Wesleyan superannuateeis $320 a year, exactly the average in Canada. Australia has the strangest fund, which permits an en. nutty of 4480, or 00 per cent more than in Greet Britain or the Dominion of Can• oda, Having epitomized the replies of BOMB 2,000 circuit superintendents, the committee thinks the Canadian system renes little room for amendment, and will recommend to the General Confer. 0nee to be held next month in London that no ohauge be made in the smile of snperannaation payable to ministers,their widows and children, and that the am- ounts oolleoted from circuits, sooieties and ministers rennin practically the sante.
