The net majority of the votes for the ,qct thus far in all the contests is 49,- 255, It is now more than eight yoars since it was first voted upon and adopted, and no county or city has yet rejected it, although repeat- ed efforts have been mads to do so. We regard it of great moment that our people give due attention to the proper enforcement of this law. We would urge that everywhere they stand by the officers appointed to that work and assist them in every lawful way. Theadmition of the Act stns taught TILE WORKING MAN'S PLEA, Will you rob ns of our Sunday, The day God calls His own The only day the working -man Can rest in peace ab ]tomo? Is nob six days toll and bare enough For us poor working -num; For e'en when God created earth, The seventh day rested then. Will you rob us of our Sunday, The clay that God has given, The laborers' rest from toil and care, Tho best day of the seven ? God made the Sabbath for the poor, Not for the rich alone ; Upon this' Clay elle cares of earth, Aside should all be thrown. Do not rob fie of our Sunday, Give us this flay alone ; Por we have wives and children, They need us man at home, They plead for us, then heod their ory, If you'd by God bo blessed ; Give us this welcome day of peace, The laborers' day of rust. UNGUARDED TONGUES, Tongues unguarded throw disaster Right and left with spiteful sway. Cutting deep, dividing friendship. In a harsh and cruel way. liany a fond, bright hope is blighted, That pleadings cannot set aright, All unsought the blow is wielded, Simply for malicious spite. Unkind words aro often spoken, Causing sorrow, grief and pain, Such cold words of careless meanings Cannot bo recalled again. Oh ! how many are made to suffer, Simply by some thoughtless word ; How many eyes of sparkling beauty Under tears grow dim and blurred. Sorrow and mischief always hover .Whore unguarded tongues are found ; Words once spoken stand out badly ; Tear cannot assuage the wound. Unkind words should e'er be banished From the lips of old and young; Each should learn and heed the motto : "Set a guard against thy tongue " BEAR THY BROTHER'S BURDEN. Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? Rise and share it with another, And through all the years of famine It shall serve thee and thy brother. Love Divine will fill thy storehouse, Or thy handful still renew ; Scanty fare for one will often Make a royal feast for two. For the heart grows rich in giving ; All its wealth is living grain ; Seeds, which mildew in the garner, Scattered, fill with gold the plain. Is thy burden hard and heavy ? Do thy steps drag wearily? Help to bear thy brother's burden.; God will bear both it and thee. Nnrnb and weary on the mountains, Wouldst thou sleep amidst the snow? Chafe that frozen form beside thee, And together both shall glow. Art thou stricken in life's battle? Many wounded round then moan ? Lavish on their wounds thy balsams, And that balm shall heal thine own. Is thy heart a well loft empty? None but God its void can fill ? Nothing but a ceaseless fountam Clan its ceaseless longing still. Is the heart a living power Self -engrossed its strength sinks low; It can only live iu loving, I fent the ropeel agitation all along And by serving love will grow. , the line and Prohibition will soon be gained. us eevoral valuable lessons which wo do well to profit by :- 1. \Vo have learned that the aboli. Eton of the license system has not boon followed by commercial disaster as tho liquor edvoeatos everywhere declared it would be. 2. That municipal government may bo carried on without the local revenue derived from ibe lisenstng of lntoxicatieg liquors, and that without the imposition of new and burdensome taxes upon the people. 8. That the law has proved a val- uable educator of public opinion, 4. That wherever the law is oven moderately well enforced the mis- chievous and wicked. treating cus- toms are largely destroyed. 5. That the consumption of in• toxicants is decreasing in our Do- minion in a degree corresponding with the extent to which the Act is 1 adopted. 0. That the reduction of poverty, druukonnees and crimp is more and more manifest. 7. That our hope of ultimata and complete victory over this great enemy of all righteousness lies in total Prohibition. We must not stop short of this. Wo oeunot if wo wouldoonsorve what we have already secured. That these advantages as well as others may have the fullest effect, let us oppose with all our might of world, prayer, faith and vote the re- peal of the Aet whereon and where - ever an attempt is made in that di. rection. Let the name of no mem- ber of the Methodist church bo found upon a repeal petition, much loss, let no one oo•operate directly or in- directly with those who seek to re. clothe with the garment of respect • ' ability and legality a traffic which the Act has made disreputable and illegal. Utterly refuse to have any partnership with tt busiuess whose policy is that of the Anarohiete in the use of the dynamite bomb, viol- ence and terrorism. Let it be known to all that a vote to repeal the Act is a vote against Prohibition, and every vote to sustain the Act is a vote for Prohibition.

To the members and adherents of the Meth- odist Church in Ontario :— Diann BRETHREN AND F11111NDe.- 1'he General Canforeeae of tho ]Iloth- odist church, in session aseombled in the City of Toronto in September, 1886, appointed a permanent Com- mittee on Temperance, dividing it for convenience of mooting, into throe sections, viz., Ontario, Quebec and the Eastern Province, Since the meeting of too Creneral Conference a now House of Com. mores has been elected for the Do- minion. During the first session of the new Parliament Mr. Jamieson's resolution iu favor,of the total Pro- hibition of the liquor traffic was submitted and defeated•by a major- ity of 42; the veto being, 70 for and 112 againet the resolution. A general effort to repeal the Canada Temperance Act in the cities and counties in this Provineo where .ib is now in force has been begun, and to give this movement greater force o reign of lawlosenese and violence has been inaugurated, and, to all appearance, bee become the settled policy of this unholy traffic. • For these and other reasons, a meeting of the Ontario section of the committee was convened by the Rev. John A. Williame, D. D,, Gen- eral Supexiutendont, on too 1.26h day of September, 1887, when, after ti careful consideration of the present nspect of the Temperance quotient it was decided to calf the prayerful There aro still twenty counties and cities in Ontario which have not yet adopted the Soott Act. We would urge our people to take, in conjunction with others, arch stepe as shall at once bring iu a vote for its adoption and use all righteous moans to secure that end. It is a matter for devout thank- fnlnose and congratnlation that the recent attempts en our Dominion Parliament to repeal the Scott Act and destroy its worth, wore utterly defeated; nevertheless we must not close our oyes to the fact that the ensile Parliament which sustained the Scott Act voted clown entire Prohibition by a majority of 42.. With a 'House of Commons thah contains 112 friends of the liquor traffic, as recently proolauned by their recorded votes against a Pro• hibitory law, it is obvious that the Temperance reform has some hard battles to fight before the ruin traffic is brought to an end in our Do- minion. Tho present situation defines the duties of all. Christian eleotors in unequivocal terms. We would not ignore, or in any way depreciate, the value of the subordinate forces in the struggle for duliverancs from a great national bane.

The Tem- penance electors of this oonntry have it in their power to render the re•eleotion of those men impossible if they will but consent to sink minor differences and unite all their forces on the broad platform of Ibis great moral and political reform, Permit us to call your prayerful attention to the valuable report of the Committee on Temperance, which was adopted by a hearty and unanimous vote of our late General Conference, and especially to the following extracts from it. "The ballot must execute the will of a free people and mush not be caet for that which is a sin against God and a crime againet humanity. The time has come to draw the line between those who stand with the saloon and against the people and those who stand with the people and against the saloon. We, therefore, recommend that our people in all municipal and Parliamentary elec- ions vote only for oanlidatoa wh o, in addition to other necessary qual- ifications, aro known and professed Prohibitionists ; and we heartily pledge ourselves to cooperate with the Dominion Alliance and all Tem- perance organizations in their efforts to educate the electors of the Do- minion on the neoessiby of Prohibi- tory legislation. "'We cannot admit the statement so often made by those having little or no sympathy Prohibition, that the country ie not yet ready for a Prohibitory late ; ou the contrary, we aro convinced that the country, by adopting the Scott Act, showed it was ready for such legislation. Ws believe the wide growth of pub- lic sentiment in favor of Prohibition renders ib the duty of our Parlia- ment to pass a Prohibitory law that will brand the traffic with public condemnation." Wo would respectfully recommend each Quarter Board to consider the subject matter of this address and press such resolutions as may com- mend themselves to their godly judg- ment, and submit the result of their deliberations to au early meeting of each oongrciation on the circuit that a full expression of opinion on this moat important, question may be secured from all our people, It is also requested that copies of such resolutions as may be passed shall be scut to the aecrebary of tiro Per- mauent Committee on Temperance —Rev.

It is not yet learned what amount of money was stolen. One day tacit week Thos. Dunn found in a bush on the farm of Chas.

It meas- ured 5 feet 5 inches from end to end, had five branches, and was 1.44 inches round the batt. Fire had recently run through the bush and so this horn, which had lain con- cealed for many years, was brought to light.
