In the morning, as per arrangement, the visitor was asked to refer to Book and Publishing interests and in oom- plying dealt with the establishment of the well known Book Room, by the late Rev. Dr. Ryerson shout 100 years ago, not as a stock coin pang but as an institution belonging to the church ; sketched the origin, growth and de- velopment and the enviable auspices. under which they are now located in their fine 6 -story block, costing $800,- 000, where also the church officiary of Oanadian Methodism have their head- quarters ; gave illustrations of the volume of business done in publication of Church and Sunday School papers and periodicals and of the publishing interests iu general, making special reference to the Christian Guardian— the best religious weekly on the Con- tinent --now 92 years old, under the able and capable Editorship of Rev.

Mr. Faille answered several questions ask- ed "and itttparted a fund of information not easily obtained in such compact farm and so carefully explained. Such visits by the Book Steward cannot fail to do good. At the evening service Rev. Mr. Faille preached an interesting and well timed discourse from Deut.4th Chap. and 0th verse. It dealt with the colossal task of reconstruction, the price of leadership and the duty of the church today. Optimism was pointed out as the general view point and readiness demanded to embrace Op- portunity when presented. History gave evidence of many of these and the good results following. National campaign was instanced, 2 great dangers were :—(1) Forgetfulness of God in expression of gratitude to Him anti love for our fellow men ; and (2) Hesitancy in enlisting in Go's service and serving Him with the highest motive and with an unseflsh and un- mercinary spirit. Rev. Mr, Fallie will be very welcome back to Brussels.
