TIM 1'A8TQRAL 7118151.
A fight ie impending over the quoeCion
of an extension of the pastoral term.
The matter has been argued and fought
out vigorously at the preceding.General
Conference meetings, but. dies ]card, It
is thought that it will get its death blow
for a generation at this gathering. The
vote for en extension of tire. term to fonr
years made eight years ago at Toronto
resulted in a vote of 80 for to 122 against.
At the last General Conference at Mont-
real the vote was 102 for and 131 against.
Those are some of the most interesting
notices of motion : That the election of
general superintendent take place every
four years instead of every Dight, as at
present; that three general superintend-
ente be elected instead of one as at pres-
ent, the extra two to give their attention
to missionary and educational work and
be paid by those departments ; that the
payment to delegates for expenses bo con-
fined to a sum not exceeding $5 less than
their actual railway expenses; that no
bill for loss than $5 be submitted ; and
that payment shall bo based upon the
proportionate attendance of the delegates'
at the sessions of the Oonferonee.
One byDr. J. J. Maolaron, Q. 0,, To-
ronto, is considered bothradical and revo-
lutionary. It relates to the stationing
committee. The motion proposes that
the stationing committee shallbe confined
to one minister from each district in the
Conference, that no minister in his lost
year shall lie eligible, and that should any
question affecting any member of the
committee come up he shall, after being
heard, retire while his oaeo is being de-
cided.

considered at the various anneal con-
ferences since. • The commission met

The portion of the report devoted to
the Epworth League gives a sketch of the
progress of that movement in the past
four years. Tho growth has been very
remarkable, branches having been estab-
lished in every part of the country, from
Nanaimo, B. C., to Trinity Bay Nfld.,
and in the Bermuda Islands, to the num-
ber of 1,082, with a membership of 47,125.
Groat good has been done by them. It
is remarked that, while the official name
is Epworth League, yet many of them
have adopted the name of Epworth
League of Christian Endeavor, thus affi-
liating with the Christian Endeavor
Society. There are, it is stated, 819 Bp -
worth Leaves of it
Endeavor,
and 220 Epworth Leagues, pure and
simple. There are also 259 Christian
Endeavor Societies in the Methodist
church, a number of societies of King's
Sons and King's Daughters, and 253 mis-
sion bands and circles. Tho yearly col-
lections to defray office expenses have
realized, up to July 1st, 1894, only 9266.
Besides this, 145 Junior Leagues have
been organized, chiefly in Ontario. The
financial report contained information,

knock a man on the head with.

SCOTTISH yGAMES AT
LUCKNOW.
For many a year 110.0 Caledonian Day
been a great occasion in this neighbor-
hood, and for almost a quarter of a cen-
tury has Lucicnow upheld its reputation
of staunch patriotism in patronizing the
games of old Scotia. The town boasts of
w splendid athletic ground, which by
reason of a sloping hillside, which com-
mands it, makes one of the best places
for viewing the events that can be found,
and it boasts also of a unanimous and
hearty public spirit which assures for the
games the genuine and affective support
of all the inhabitants. Wednesday's Sons
of Scotland games were .no exception to
the rule. All Lucknow and the vicinity
turned out, and Scots good and tree came
from far. and near. The village was a
sea of bonnets and feathers and plaids.
Seven or Dight camps of the Sons of Scot -
lend were largely represented, while fully
a score had representatives on the
ground. At the grounds from 4,000 to
6,000 'people were present to view the
games, which were well contested and
interesting, au excellent program being
provided. In the evening a concert was
held, at which Miss Agnes Knox (Mrs.
Oharlton Black), and Miss Libby Beach
took part, the Caledonian Hall being
crowded to the doors.
Early in the morning the members of
Camp Albin, the local camp, were astir,
and resplendent in their tartans, and,
headed by John Murchison, district
deputy grand chief ; Finlay McInnes,
the chief, and P. A. Malcomson, the
Secretary marched to meet the various
trains, which brought heavy loads of
excursionists from Ripley, Kincardine,
Mount Forest, Wingham, Brussels, Pal-
merston and intermediate stations, The
48th Highlanders' Pipers Baud, headed
by Piper Major Ireland, added great-
ly to the enjoyment of the day, while a
number of excellent local pipers were on
hand. At 1 o'olock the grand procession
started for the grounds. At the head
Dame the Standard, the rampant Lion of
Scotland, borne by J. McKenzie and A.
McLeod. Next came the mounted
marshals, Capt. H. Morrison and Dr. D.
Geddes. Col. Campbell, of Milton, the
acting grand chief of the Sons of Scot-
land, and Pipe Maj. Ireland came next,
and the 48th pipers, Then came the
representatives of the Damps in order of
precedence, among those most largely
represented being .-Camp Mo0rimrnon,
Underwood ; Camp Bonnie Jean, Ripley ;
Camp McPherson, Kincardine ; Clamp
Caledonia, Winghnm and Camp Camp-
bell, Milton.
Arriving at the grounds the camp com-
petition was held and then the games
begat. A large number of the best dan-
cers and athletes of the Province were
present. Among the prominent citizens
present were Col. Campbell, the acting
grand chief of the order, who represented.
the Grand Camp to the total satisfaction
of the local members of the order ; Jas.
Rowand, M. P., of Dnmblaoe, for West
Brune ; Dr. MoCrimmon, of Underwood ;
Dr. Marlyn, of Kincardine, ; Jas. Bryan,
editor of the Lucknow Sentinel and ex -

NEW CHURCH AT KINBURN.
MR. POST, -Will you allow your atten-
tion to be called to a (natter of public in-
terest. I was ab the village of Kinburn a
short time ago and was much impressed
with the beautiful church in couree of
erection by the Methodist people. Its
position and commanding appearance
strike one as he approaches the place.
Unlike many things, that look fine at a
distance, when you go near the beauty
dies away ; not so in this case, the nearer
you go the more you see and the more
there is to admire. I am afraid of my
ability to give you a true idea of the edi-
fice as it appeared to me. But to begin,
it is built ou one of the best sites in the
neighborhood, has a fine basement, nearly
all above ground, for *Sabbath school,
prayer meetings and other purposes.
The audience room seems all that can be
desired for a church of its size -roomy,
lofty, &o. When completed, which will
be about the end of October, ib will be one
of the handsomest churches in this part
of our laud. At the same time it is a
marvel of cheapness, the entire cost will
not be over four thousand dollars. The
trustees and all engaged in the under-
taking deserve groat praise.
