Dere of the suggestions from many a town is the placing of an appropriate and permanent monument, tablet or What else commemorative of the boys wito sleep their last sleep as a result of their patriotism io d.trnce tf the Empire. No doubt Brussels will not be a tail end- er in the movement. IAS'ETv for the present is obtained by the deposed Kaiser Wilhelm and "Clown" Prince in Holland. Whether they will be permitted to continue there remains to be seen, but even this is a rerrtble dowufatl from the pedestal of world conquering they bad undertaken. budging by the exposures of the past week both Germany and Austria were in direful need of the arrival of Peace. A baby son was born to the borne of 1-1, and Mrs. Bond, Harvey avenue, Tor- onto, last Monday, and the very appro- priate name of Victory was placed ahead of Bond, which is quite in keeping with the occasion. He should prove a win- ner facing the world with web a title. We hope nobody will ran the tisk of dis• locating the public jaw by attached some of the almost unprououueable names of historic places during the recent war to new babies.

Experience has clearly shown that there is no room in the Dominion for the restoration of K'ng Booze and it is up to every home iu the land to give the traffic such a plumb that it will never again come to life. Those interested in the mau,.tfaeture are already at work seeking to quietly lay the wires to outdo the so• briety but we hope the wires will be sur charged with prohibition electricity that will make them re•aet on the forces of those who seek to restore a pagan ens tom whose isietory is as black as mid- night. Victory is the slogan with every- body on the alert. A letter is being published in the County papers by Dr. Case front Premia' Hearst relative t0 acclamations in by,.. elections that is a trifle wide of the mark.

Karr Among the many features of the work dealt with reference will be nec- essarily brief and perhaps somewhat disjointed but may convey an idea, at least, of what was done by the Confer- ence. A committee of 60 was appointed on Church Union and Dr, Chown was authorized to call a special session of Conference it he sees fit. Pew rents are hereafter under the tart of Conference. There is no order made to absolutely forbid renting of pews but Conference carried unani- mously ;t report commending to ,the churches the abolition of pew rents. Methodist churches are to be open all the week—not merely on Sundays. This was carried unanimously. Committee of Lay Agencies recom- mended that General Superintendent be asked to frame a manual of family worship with suitable hymns, seript- ure readings and forms of prayer, it described family worship as the great- est of Christian lay agencies.

Despite a vigorous opposition, Con- ference decided that young probation- ers who have been a year on military duty overseas should not be required to ,enc out the requited time on the cireuit before they can be ordained. It was urged that it would be an injustice to these soldier -students to make theta !%u through the usual routine, 11 was out only said to be unfair, but dishonest for the church to re- tdn half the stoney paid in by minis- ters to the •Superannuation Fund, when such ministers leave the Ministry. It was carried that all such retiring preachers should get their money back with 5 per cent, interest. When the question arose of making the nomination of Stewards open to any member of a quarterly official hoard, some objected but it was finally decided to stake the nominations open, which takes the power out of the hands, of the clergy. Minister may still nomi- nate men as Stewards, but he has not the sole right to do so, as he once had, The Superannuation Committee sub- mitted a report recommending a sub- stantial increase in the superannuation grants to aged and disabled clergy, and to widows and orphans of the clergy. This was passed almost unanimously, General Conference is asked to in- vite the other 'Churches of Canada to a National Convocation for the con- sideration of the problems of recon- struction. Conference expresses the opinion that for the future safety of civiliza- tion the allies should refuse, at all times, to discuss or negotiate Peace until Germany is ready to lay down her arms and accept the proposals of the entente powers. The General Conference is profound- ly thankful for the fact that the Holy Land has been liberated from the de- plorable- rule of the Turk. Especially do we rejoice that the armies of the British Empire. led by a British general, had the honor df accomplishing this glorious consummation which has been the hope of the Christian world for centuries. Few people care much for quotation of figures and yet we think a few will be of interest in data collected Ment- bership of the l\letltodist Church now is 388,210. New members received during quadrennium 83,664. There are 2,759 ministers and pro- bationers in the church. 583 were re- ceived since last General Conference, 532 Methodist ministers and probation- ers enlisted as soldiers in the world war. Church raised during past 4 years for local church purposes $12,330,613 ministers' salaries, $7,273e210; con- nexiotal funds, —6,009,811; and Mis- sions nearly 83,000,000, Total number of lay officials in church is 40,985, an increase 461. This includes stewards, representatives trustees, local preachers, class leaders, Sunday School and Epworth League workers. Methodist Churches in Canada raised $24,627,309 for all purposes, increase of $212,516 over period 4 years ago. Churches, parsonages, furnishings, colleges, rescue homes, publishing houseS, etc., are valued at $44,178,371 increase of $2,338,791. Without a word of debate the Con- ference voted unanimously to raise the minimum salary of Methodist pastors to 81,200 for married men, $1,000 for unmarried men and $800 ,for pro- bationers. After all the talk of probable exten- sion or removal of the pastoral terns limit it was left practically where it was. It was. however, enacted that by a two-thirds vote of Stationing 'Committee a minister may be stationed for a longer term year by year. Wooten were unanimously voted full rights to all privileges of the church barring the public ministry, Ministers elected as fraternal dele- gates to bear greetings of the Canadian church to the Methodists of Great Bri- tain and America will be' Rev. Dr, Spar - ling, Hamilton to the Britisk Wesley- an Conference; Rev, Dr, T, Albert Moore, Toronto, to the Episcopal Methodist Church of the United States; and Rev. Salem Bland, D. D Winnipeg, to the Methodist Episdopal Church South. That these reverend brethren will do it well goes without saying. It is a pleasant duty, always accompanied by a royal welcome by -the visited body, The coming of Rev, W. Hodson Smith, of London, England; Bishop Berry, of New fork; Dr, Roman, a colored M.D., of Nashville, Tenn., and Rev. Mr, Prettyman, Chaplain of the U, S. Sen- ate. from Washington, to convey greetings to Canadian Methodism, was a very felicitous part of the program. "Blest he the tie that binds" was the vocal expression itt song by the dele- gates. Allowance for Superannuated min- isters is to be increased from $12 to $15 per year for each year served, A pastor who has labored 40 years will now receive a retiring allowance of 8600 instead of $480. The Methodist Church is not on the fence on the Prohibition question and vigorous resolution was passed protest- ing against tate Dominion or Provincial Governments taking any action in the proposal to lift the ban on liquor on account- of influenza epidemic. Con- ference declared itself against any re- 1,txtnt of the enforcement of the pro- hibition law. Resolution was ordered to be sent to each Premier in Canada and Newfoundland. A great crusade for Missions has been inaugurated at this Conference, financial objective is to raise $8,000,- 000 for missionary work at hone and abroad in 5 years, This will mean churches will have to double ordinary contributions each'ear for next 5 years, that is, to raise a sum of $1,- 600,000 a year while thq drive is on. To select the officiary that will prove competent to transact the business of tite church hi its different organiza- tions for the next 4 years is always a feature of deep interest and care but so well had the staff done their work during the past quadrennium the only changes made were those of necessity leaflets iii iidis � t" 'l � t t ;d felt t �tlainl n1f s u tri u be msa iluputtant both tot tlte prs- VINMAKIfSest anti futtll'e out' t,allitatalt land.

Nothing was left undone by the Con- ference Committee of Arrangements in catering to the comfort and conven- ience of the delegates, hence in the church were to be found a postoffice, telephone, stenographer, pen, ink and stationery on fire tables arranged for correspondence, time table of trains and street railways, &c, The delegates appreciated the forethought of the Committee, officers and the salaries attached the latter including $1,000 for house rent, l;txes, etc:— Rev. Dr. Chown, General Superin- tendent, 86,000. This is a raise of 31,000. Rev. S. W. Fallis, 'Calgary, Book Steward, 34,000. Rev, Dr. Briggs, now 83 years of age, has been Book Steward for over 40 years and retires with .5 salary of $2,000 per annum, Rev, C. E. Manning, Home Missions Secretary, 84,000. Rev.

A, Moore, Secretary Evan- gelism and Social Service, $4,000. It would not be an easy matter to select a more representative or special- ly qualified set of men to occupy these important posts and the Methodist Church of the Dominion will not only watch their respective departtnents but lend a helping hand most cheer- fully and generously as they discharge their duties and seek to promote the best interests of those they endeavor to serve. The 13illetting Committee arranged that we were most comfortably and hospitably looked after at the cosy hone of J. t1, and Mrs. Cox, 100 Went- worth St, North. The association with them will be a happy memory until we have a chance of another visit with them, either at Brussels or I'tamilton. Guess it is perfectly true that "Friend- ship is the golden chain that binds Communities together," and great comfort is derived when you have the at home feeling. A marvellous display of books, snaps, charts, mottoes, lanterns, curios, &c„ &c., was made by the various depart- ments, viz: Missionary, Sunday School, Social Service, Child Welfare, the Book Room, and so fortlr. These were systematically arranged in_ the large gymnasium of the church and bright, active attendants were on hand, in charge of each to supply information nati0n and fully explain the usefulness and practical service of .the same to all le- terested. It was the best feature of the kind we had ever seen and proves the growth of ways and means and shows how many "live wires" must be at work to ensure success along these special lines and enable the results to be wheat instead of chaff, Among the old fellowship renewals by the writer were those with Rev. J. L. Stewart, China; Rev Dr, and Mrs. Stephenson, Rev. Dr, Rev, and W. J. Fawcett, Toronto; Revds, W. A. Smith and Joseph Coulter, Calgary; Rev, J. P. Westntan, of B. C.,; Rev, 11. W.

James, Bowmanville; Lt. -Col. Keenley- side, Regina; Hon N. W. Rowell, Tor- onto and many others who beonged chiefly to the London Conference, Retrospection proved how quickly the years fly. The privilege was also ours to visit at the Manes of W. and Mrs, Dodson; D. W. and Mrs, Courtice (where we had the pleasure of dining with E, G. and Mrs, Courtice, well known Clin- tonlans nd parents of the host) Mrs, J, Thomson, and daughters, former Brusselitcs; and A, 1-1, Kay and fancily at Dundas. Mr, and Mrs, Dodsoh (the latter was formerly Miss Sara Bray, of Wroxeter, Whose parents now reside near Brussels) were kind enough to invite us to accompany then, and Rev. I, A, McKelvey, of Oil Springs, to a fine tour of Hamilton, Burlington and on to Oakville in their comfortable Ford Sedan, over the couch talked of Hamilton and Toronto Highway. it was a delight indeed, splendid with a capital D. The scenery Was beautiful and the growth and development mar- vellous. We are still an a thankful snood for the favor of renewing the old acquaintances and for the royal treatment accorded. The outlook in the Foreigh fields of China and Japan is most en- couraging. Chief complaint being shortage of men and women to keep pace with the good work.

Conference lasted 16 days. It might have run another day or so had not the influenza epidemic been so prevalent, Several delegates were call- ed home owing to illness and a Mr. Harker, a Hamilton delegate, died while going to 'Conference one morphia, So delegates constituted a quorum at the Conference and only about 60 remained to tate close out of the 374, it is no easy matter for laymen, pat ti- culuarly, to absent themselves from home for 2 or 3 weeks, It was refreshing to notice how promptly Dr, Chown opened each ses- sion and the Secretary, Rev, Dr. Moore, was always at his post ready to push business. If all public bodies were as prompt it would mean many hours conserved. The Conference singing was splen- did, led by R, G, Kirby, a Toronto dele: gate, and accompanist, on the piano, was often Rev. T, E. Sawyer, of Lon- desboro, both of whom did their part well. 187 Methodist preachers can put up a great volume of sacred song and when well seconded by 187 lay - Auction Sales AUCTION SAM?, 01 FARM sTOt'at, Tab PLIWt IOsl'o, 550 —tr, at. .Snort, .11 ttettotteer, has received instructions from the undersign- ed Tsx.ontors to sell by Public Auction no Oranbrnok, on Tuesday Nov, 20111 at 1 o'clock, the following valuable property: -1 draft gelding 7 years old, 1 draft gelding 5 years old,1 aged general purpose horse, a fresh cows, 1 oow supposed in calf, 2 farrow cows, a Ieim heifore, 8 yenrtittg steers, 0 calves, about 60 young hens, 1 assssey-Barrie binder, 1 Frost woos plower, 1 Frost tC Wood lay rake, 1 lumber wagon with box, 1 buggy, 2 nutters, 2 sots bob•si.eighs, 1 cutting box, 1 Clinton fan- ning mill with selves, 1 Champion seed drill, 1 Bisset steel land roller, 1 Biasel disc, 1 single walking plow, 1 gang plow, 1 turnip sower, '1 set iron harrows, 1 hay rack, 1 wood reek, 1 gravel box, 1 set 400 1b, steelyard scales, 1 wheelbarrow, 1 set single harness, harness, 1 eat of double brout 1500 b .oats,not 1 00 tone goad hnv about tl 1 b n s00 los. oats and on 1 0•1 , t 6 bus. bo ey, fchains, shovels and. vefyr ingtoles too numerous wit tot menton.
