Mr. Mullen, of Fergus, ocoupied the pul- pit of Melville church and hie visit was very much enjoyed by the large noogre- gatione that listened to him. In the morning hie sermon was to the children, his text being Psalm 90 and 1701a verse, "And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us" After defining beauty be pointed out (1) What Moses asked for ; and (2) Why we should eek for it. The beautyt found in Jesusshould be sought ht after as He was :— Benevolent, Earnest, Assisting or ready to help, Uaselfieh, Thankful, Yearning. Out of thie acrostic the reverend gentle. man wove many very practical state• meats that will be remembered for many a day. The reasons adduced for seeking this beauty were (1) It never fades ; (2) It makes us useful ; (8) It will be the passport to heaven.—Instead of the regular session of the Sabbath school Rev. Mr. Mullen delivered an interesting address to the pupils on Matthew's gospel, 28rd chapter and 37011 verse, "How often would I have gathered thy children to- gether, even as a hen gathereth ber chickens under her wings and ye would not I" The speaker showed the spiritual teaching of the following points regard. Mg what a hen will do for ber chickens 1 (1) She considers their needs • (2) She cells them ; (8) She covers them with her wings ; (1) She comforts theta ; (5) She combines them. It is needless to say that Mr. Mullan is particularly well qualified to deal with young people, the afternoon's service proving this statement very clearly.—In the evening the 8th chapter of Judges was the foundation of a fine discourse,lebowing the lessons to be learned from Gideon's spirit, which should be exemplified in the home ; among churches ; denominations ; 1n politics ; in the 19th century ; in Heaven. OUR OTTAWA LETTER. OTTAWA, Mer 25.—Never in the history of Canada have so many elements of our population been working to the one end— to the overthrow of the federal govern- ment—as they are at the present mo. anent. Apart from that which unfortun- ately in the present contest is made in a certain quarter the main issue — the Manitoba School question—ie the coun- try satisfied with the Government's count of stewardship record and the ac ° p for the past eighteen years it is now • cal. led upon to render. In 1891 Sir John Macdonald led the Conservative party to the polls. The cry of "the old flag," "the old policy" the old man was raised, and to good effect. Ed. Ferrer, who was at one time editor of the Toronto Globe, had written over his own signature a pamphlet pointing out the rosy road to annexation, and from the foot that Farrer's name had been associated with the Liberal party through his coneetion with the Globe our friends' had to suffer for his sins. It would be idle to say that Farrer'e action did not lose the Liberal party a good many votes. Their cup was not hill yet. The celebrated manifesto of the President of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way calling upon the electors to support the Government had yet to come. I am now poiutiug out the great odds the Liberal party had to combat in the elec- tions of 1891. The generosity% of the protected manufacturer and government contractor was without limit for the =taiga fund was inexhaustible. In addition to all this one of the strong election cards was that both the nation- al debt and annual expenditure would be at once cut down to the lowest notch, and that a speedy reduction would follow. With all these odds against them and handicapped as they were the Liberal party captured within four of as many seats in Ontario as were taken by Gov- ernment supporters, while Sir John Macdonald's majority in the house was only 27, before he bought up seats at the bye -elections. Bat there is no Sir John Macdonald to lead the Conservative party this time. It is Sir Charles Tapper, and to the people of Canada he needs no introduc- tion. Bearing in mind all the odds there was against us in 1891 and recalling their unfulfilled pledges, it is of interest to look over their reoord for the past five years. In plane of reduction in the national debt and expenditure we find the debt in that time increased from 5287,533,211 to 5253,074,927, and expenditure increased from $35,944,081 to 588,132,005. We also find that the surplus of 58,885,898 tamed into a deficit in the treasury of 54,158,875 in 189,5. What have they done to strengthen your•coniidenoe in them since they last appealed to yon ? Since 1891 you have witnessed some rather startling disclosures at Ottawa as to the methods of Tory Government. You have Been Sir Hector Langevin driven out of the cabinet and his associ- ate Thos. McGreevy expelled from Parliament and cast into prison. You also saw the Printing Bureau scandal ex. posed in which the superintendent, a personal friend of Chapleau was dismis- sed and prosoonted. Yon have seen Foster plead guilty to having permitted his political friends to default interest he should have collected from them for seven years. Yon have heard Oostigan define his connection with the Tobique Valley Railway subsidy, and last but not least, you have seen the outrageous at. tempt of John Haggart to secure over two hundred thousand dollars out of the troaenry for Geo. Goodwin in eonneetion with the Soulanges canal contract which the auditor general refused to pay. Is it possible that the country at this vital moment does not realize the enor- mity of their corruption and dishonesty ? Prom a monetary standpoint look at the result of dishonest government as it has been revealed since these men caught your confidence in 1801. Estimated cost of Little Rapid's Locks, $45,000 ; expended on work, 5255,000. Gallops Rapids, °etiolated cost, $1112,0001 moth. ally paid, 5029,680.

Space will not permit my giving to greater length in recalling to your mom. ory the many masterpieces we have in evidence of theadmioistrative ability and honesty shown by the Government since. their election in 180L To those of you who desire to see the overthrow of the goverement leb me re- mind you that it all reete in your hands. Yon know what yon may expect if you hand over the reins of offloe to Tupper and his pals for another five years. He has told you that he will go on with the Soderieh District Meeting;.

The regular May meeting of the Methodist churches of the Goderich District was held in the North Street ohuroh,Goderioh, on Thursday and Fri- day of last week. All the ministers of the district were present mud in addition the following laymen :—G. Acheson and G. Green, Goderich ; R. Holmes and D. Tiplady, Clinton ; W. M. Grey, Sea - forth ; G. Tebbutt, Holmeeville ; D. Lindsay, Porter's Hill ; A. Stevenson, Varna ; J. C. Stoneman and, W. Cald- well, Ieneall ; J. Fitzgerald, Kippen ; T. Anderson, Dungannon ; J. lietherieg- ton, Nile ; J. Jenkins, Benmiller ; Rev. H. E. Currie was recommended to be continued at College. Rev. G. W. Andrews wee appointed secretary, and J. 0. Stoneman, assistants. A recommendation from the Quarter- ly Board of Ontario Street church, con- cerning the re•attaohment of Turner's church to this eirouit was verbally given ; also a petition signed by 88 members and adherents of Turner's church, asking to be re•nnited to Ontario St. was present- ed. The matter was very frilly disons- sed, the oontinginoies incident thereto be. ing taken into moment. It was after- wards moved that the request of the On • tario St. Board be granted, and on a vote being takes it was deolared a tie, and the matter therefore stands just as it was, but is likely to come up again at a future meeting. Rev. J. Edge was elected to the Stationing Committee ; Rev. H. Irvine and J. C. Stoneman to the S. S. Com. mittee ; Rev. I]. Olivant and R. Holmes to the Epworth League Committee ; Rev. S. Bond and W. Gray to the Sus. tentation Committee; W. M. Gray was eleoted as lay repreeentative to the Mis. denary Committee.

Oaten read a very gratifying statement, showing the progress of Bay. field mission during the past year, and the determination to become a solf•eup, porting circuit, It was decided to bold the next regular meeting of the District in Rattenbury Street ohuroh, Clinton, and the nett May meeting in Ontario street ohuroh. A resolution, expressing cordial ap- prediation of the services of Rev. J. W. Holmes, as chairman during the past three years, was unanimously pursed and the meeting then closed..

Robert Armstrong, of Mallon, farmer and boreebreeder of considerable reputa- tion, has an equine onrioeity in bis stables. It is a bald mare, if suoh a term oan be applied to a mare without absolutely a hair on her body. The ani• mal, a Clydesdale of about 7 yaat's, began to lose her hair two years ago, and in spite of all efforts to etup it, this Spring finds ber entirely bereft of nature's gar- ment. Notwithetanding her peculiar condition, the mare is fat and sleek and in every other respect perfectly healthy. She presents a laughableappearanes, and looks like a rubber horse as she stands in her shiny skin. During one of the reoent hob days the mare was allowed to run in the yard and got her face blistered by the sun. In future she will probably require to wear a veil. Macfarlane's Hero.

YOUNG - PEOPLE'S Saving Depository, 000 In order to encourage the children and older ones also to save their' pennies or dollars I am prepared to receive deposits from 55. up to 550, payable on demand withinterest at 6% per annum for all de- posited over one year, or 5% when for lose time. Many children, and older ones too, sum in a few have quitea would vyears, and handsome income from the interest alone, if they wouldonlysave whattoo often is spent fooliehly. Many are living to -day in rented liouseewho could have had a home of their own if the money they had spent in tobacco alone bad have been pnt out to intareat instead. Let small begin now, "It is never too late to mend." Not many are aware bow rapid- ly small savings, put out to interest, aa• cumulates. Facts and figures state that $1 put out to interest at 6% half yearly for 100 years amounts to the surprising sum of $340. 5 cents saved each day and put out to interest at 8% would in 20 years amount to 51,375, or in 50 years to 511,409. 'Many spend from three to five times this amount in strong drink, tobac- co or cigars, which le worse than wasted. Parents should encoorage their ohild- ren to save and thereby establish the habit of economy. "Small leaks sink great ships," and so small seethes amount to large ones in a abort time. Every de- positor will receive a small pass book showing the amount of his or her deposit. Remember both interest and principal or the interest only San be withdrawn at any time, and depoaite of 5o. to 500.00 received. i llC WHERE r -CO SPE%/',•�tlND YOUR The Ideal Summar Paradise Ie the Georgian Bay and Muskoka Lake Region, "THE (HIGHLANDS OF ONTARIO;" .Easily reached from all points.
