UN,7UST IN THE EX1',7iEliiR.
Well defined rumor says that the
Grand Trunk Railway is arranging a new
time table, to take effect on the 10thiust„
whereby the early morning and late
trains will be removed from the Southern
extension of the W. G. d• B. and the
evening train from Loudon will run
through to Kincardine iustead of having
Wingham as the terminal point as at
present. This arrangement may suit the
G. T. R. and prove a money saving
scheme, but what about the convenience
and comfort of the public ? What about
the thousands of dollars given by the
municipalities to the railway toward,its
construction and maintenance ? The
cancellation of the Maine mentioned
would mean that the round trip to To-
ronto, Hamilton, Galt, Guelph, or any
Eaeteru city or town beyond Palmerston
would be an impossibility in one day as
at present and people desiring
to get to Goderioh by train would
have to go to Wingham in the afternoon
or drive to Belgrave to catch the early
train. In addition we would lose the
night mail from the East and the mail
from London and the West, now coming
on the early train, and thereby be shut
off from replying to correspondence the
same day. Has not the Postodroe De.
pertinent something to say in opposition
to any such unfair and unjust proposal
on the part of a railway drawing a big
revenue from them ? We aro aware that
several of the towns iu Bruce Co. have
suffered by somewhat similar treatment
at the hands of the G. T.11,, but wo don't
purpose submitting without a very vigor-
ous effort to thwart any such grab game.
In the Winter there is often consider-
able difficulty experienced in keeping the
railroad clear from snow with all the
trains running, and the case would be in-
finitely worse if two trains were removed'
as we would stand a good show of revert-
ing to the old tri -weekly mail system of
20 years ago. The Reeve has written
General Manager Hays at Montreal, pro-
testing against any such step being taken
and Wingham and Listowel have express-
ed their willingness to conjointly oppose
the change spoken of. A public meeting
will probably be held in Brussels to dis-
cuss the situation, in the near future.
Of course the Grand Trunk may have
the legal right to say when their trains
will run and thereby consult their own
pockets only, but the business people of
Brussels will also have the right to have
their freight and merobandise brought to
Wroxeter by the C. P. R., instead of
patronizing our home road, whose busi.
nese it should be to aid the progress of
the towns along the line rather than play
the part of obstructionists. Atwood,
Henfryn, Ethel and Bluevale would also
suffer by the reduction of train service,
and while Wingham and Listowel would
have advantages of other lines, they
would be considerably interfered with by
General Manager Hays' small potato
style of booming the Grand Trunk.
Every business man in Brussels should
write Mr. Hays condemning the proposi-
tion, as instead of curtailing mail service,
to say nothing of passenger traffic, we
have been endeavoring to secure better
facilities, as correspondence and petitions
to the Postmaster General will attest.

The services in the Methodist church
last Sabbath were speoiaally interesting.
There were large oougregatiooe and two
fine sermons by the pastor, the morning
discourse being on eThe Holy Spirit,"
and the evening text "What must I do to
be saved ?" A large number took part
in the fellowship treating and afterwards
partook of the communion.
At the regular meeting of the members
of the Quarterly Official Board of the
Dublin street church, Guelph, held on
Tuesday evening of last week, Rev. Mr.
Sellery, formerly of Brussels, received a
unanimous invitation to remain pastor of
that church a fourth year. Mr. Sellery
replied in a most feeling manner to the
unexpected invitation, and referred to
the happy relations that existed between
pastor and people during his incumbency.
The special oolleotiou taken at the
Methodist Sabbath School last Sabbath
toward the new furnaces amounted to
$14.40. There were 226 persons present.

removed to Brantford, addressed a few
sentences to the school. Mr. Lamont
was an efficient teacher, also Treasurer.
Rev. Mr. Allis, B. Gerry and the super"
intendant made appropriate reference se
to the regret over Mr. Lamont's removal,
and expressed good wishes on the part of
the school for his future prosperity.

deavor Associations. .4. systematic pro-
gram of visiting all the Sabbath Sohools
in the County was discussed and out-
lined.
17xn Anseveasenr.—Last Sabbath was
the 17th anniversary of the pastorate of
the popular pastor of Melville thumb.
Two excellent and appropriate discourses
were preached by Rev. IYIr. Rose. The
text at bath services was Jerem. 23:28,
"The prophet that bath a dream, let (hint
tell a dream ; and he that bath My word
let him speak my word faithfully." The
speaker said that the minister of the
Gospel is the successor of the Old Testa-
ment prophet in bearing to the people a
message from God. At the morning
service he spoke of the minister's Acqui-
sition of a Divine Message. Following
the three words which are chiefly em-
ployed in the Old Testament to designate
the prophet, he pointed out that in order
to acquire such a megsage the minister
must be :-1. A "Gazer" (chozeh)—One
who looks earnestly, eagerly, persistently
end devoutly upon the written word to
discover its meaning. This requires
time, solitude and intense application.
2. A "Seer" (roeb)—•One who has a vis-
ion or a clear, diatinot and vivid per-
ception of the Truth, through seeing it in
the light of the Spirit. 3, A "Rhapsod-
ist" (navi)—One who is moved and in-
spired by the Truth. A message so ac-
quired would be etupendoas, insuppres-
Bible and eternal. In the evening the
Fair play is what we ask and demand for eubjent was the Delivery of the Divine
the towns and villages located along the Message. It must be "spoken faithfully."
