Minimum Penalty For First Offence
There appear to be many people
who are wilfully ignorant of the fart
that at last session of the Provincial
Legislature, among other amend-
ments to the Ontario Temperance
Act, there as an amendment to the
penalty for selling liquor giving not
less than a month's imprisonment in
addition to the fine. The clauee as
amended in section 40 reads: "No
person shall by himself, his clerk,
servant or agent, expose or keep for
sale or directly or indirectly, or
'upon any pretense or upon any de-
vise sell or barter, or in considera-
tion of the purchase, or transfer of
any property or thing give to any
person any liquor. Every person
guilty of any of the provisions of
this section shall for a first offence
incur a penalty of not less than
$200.00 nor more than $2,000.00,
and in default of immediate pay-
ment shall he imprisoned for a per-
iod of not less than three or not
more than six monthS, unless the
penalty and costs are sooner paid,
and in addition thereto sltall, in ev-
ery case be imprisoned for a period
of not less than one month and not
more than three months." This am-
endment came into force last May,
and the substance of it was publish-
ed in every newspaper in Ontario.,
Since the amendment became law no
person who has been convicted of
selling liquor in this province has
escaped imprisonment for one or
more months for the first offence.

-Between three and four hundred
people gathered in the auditorium
of .the United Church about nine
clock last Friday evening in a con-
gregational meeting for the purpose
of expressing appreciation of the
work and estiinable character of
Rev. A. 3. and Mrs. Mann since rano-
Ing to Newmarket, and especially
their connection with Trinity Uulted
Rev. A. J. Mann
Church during the past year, during
which Mr. 1Vi4nn was associate less -
tor. This position Ile resigned on
Feb. 1st, in order to accept the pas-
torate of the Queensvfile Circuit of
the United Church,
Rev. A. W. Hone, pastor, opened
the meeting with prayer, after which
Warden Pearson presided over the
meeting.
Brief Speeches were made by the
chairman, H. S. Cane, Dr. S. J. Boyd
W. J. Patterson, L. G. Jackson and
Hy. Sennett, expressing the appreci-
ation of the congregation and de-
partments of the church's activities
in the labors of Mr. and Mrs. Mann
and the harmony that existed since
the union with the Presbyterians.
The speaking was interspersed by
solos from R. E. Manning, Miss Cla-
ra Trivett and Mr. Skilley.
During the course of the program
G. D. Wark read the following ad-
dress:
Dear Mt. earl Mrs. Mann:
As the time has come when we
must sever the tie which has bound
us together during the past year we,
your friends of Trinity United
Church of Canada, Newmarket, have
gathered this evening to express to
YOU in some measure our apprecia-
tion of your work among us. This
occasion gives us mingled feelings of
joy and sorrow. Soy on account of
the success of the great church Un-
ion movement. Joy because of rhe
large part you have taken in the suc-
cess of Union in this congregation.
On the other hand we feel sorrow
that you are so soon to leave our
midst.
"Tis hard to part when friends are
dear
Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a
tear."
You, Mr. Mann, in leaving us•may
rest assured that your labors have
no1 been in vain. As it was said to
the Elders of old, you also may say,
"I have kept nothing back that was
profitable unto you, but have showed
you and taught you publicly, and
front house to house the whole
counsel of God."
.As a citizen you have filled a large
place in our community, exemplify-
ing by your daily walk and conver-
sation the beauty of the Christian
life.
1Virs. Mann, you have been untir-
ing in your work in the Sunday
School, and in the church generally.
Your large class of young people in
the Sunday School bears splendid
testimony of your ability in that line
of work.
And now, Mr, Mann, we uslc you
to accept this purse, and Mrs. Mum
this mithrolla 1)5 a token of our ap-
preciation of your faithful services
and we wish you to fool that you
have endeared yourselves to all the
nlembers and adherents of this con-
gregation.
May God's richest blessing be
poured upon you, and may your path
way in life be brightened by that
light which shineth ever more and
more unto the perfect day,
Signod on behalf of the cengrega.
