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. ferenee to reeoletioxt asking for mail olOrk canton train, in width ho elated the ueeeeaaryy iuforinetion was being Obtained. Ono, Wright was instructed to have a ditolo opened up entree Albert street, North, to assist the people of that locality in getting better dramago. A somewhat lengthy eonvereetlon took place over eleetrlo light in l}russele, 13. Gerry, who has been malting arrange" masts to put in an iuoaudeeceut Plaut, was present and explained hie poei1ioo, Owing to the want of interest msuifested by some of the busineee man in deoliniug to sign a contract there is a possibility Brussels may have to go without light, this (mason.

"Echoes from the Provincial Sabbath School Convention" will be the theme et the Methodist church next Sabbath even- ing. The pastor and W. H, herr will give reports. Last Sabbath evening Rev. 1R. Paul oonduoted the service in Walton Metho• dist church. Revival servioee are in progress and are being made a blueing to not a few. • 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. Miss Minnie MoNaughlon read au inter- esting story, "Don't start anything you can't stop," and G. D. Lamont, who has 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. Last Wednesday afternoon a meeting of the Executive of Huron County Sab- bath Sobool Association was held in Dundas street Methodist church, London, there being present President Ross, Exeter ; Corresponding Secretary, Stone- man, Hensel' ; Minute Secretary, Taylor, Clinton ; W. •. Bright, Seaforth ; Dr. Towler, Wingham, and W. I3. Kerr, Brussels. It was decided to postpone the date of the Go. Convention from January to a date to be arranged by the joint Executives of the S. S. and En- 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." W. G. t� B. This requires that 11 be spoken, 1. Frank- ly ; 2. Pally ; 8. Fearlessly ; 4. li'ervent. ly. In concluding the pastor urged that .there be alike faithfulness in bearing, TEE PRESIDENT REPORTS.—Report of the S.
