In the afternoon at 3 o'clock there was a mass meeting in St. Andrew's church acldtessed by Dr, Clarence McKinnon, Modelator of the Assembly, He dealt with the sit- uation within the church in a clear, comptehensiveand impassioned man - nee. Ile led his hearers to visualize the task of the church at home and abroad, He deem ibed how the work had grown and developed year after year until it assumed present day proportions, We had been building up for many years until a year or to ago when we had to recall men from the needy home fields, and discharge native workers from alt ategic posts in the foreign field. The work had to be cut off, abandoned because of a deficit itt our funds, Here, Fetid the speaker, was the opportunity of today. Shall it be seized oe shall it he missed 1 Illuetratione were used from history to show how opportunity might be lost, and the tragedy of such a loss, Pictures were drawn of what might have been, had the enntendants only pressed nn a little farther. 'rhe speaker urged the need of seizing the oppoturtity and finishing our task. Dr, Walters, a missionary from Ind- ia, was a bearer of good tidings who gladdened all hearts as he repotted "the things he had seen and heard," At the evening mase meeting he transported his hearers to the mission field and introduced them to the pati- ents he would meet in the ordinary .round of duties. Showing how the sweet winsomeuese of the gospel was melting down oppoeition and making splendid headway, Dr, J. 0.

Toronto, Aug. 25.—The mach- inery for taking the vote tin' Ont- ario October 23 on the prohibitionquestion will be 'sim'ilar to that of the last provincial general elect ion. +Returning officers will be ap- pointed by the go'vennment for electorial district, who in turn will name deputies for each sub -divis- ion'. In the municipalities where dn the 1924 voters' lists are comlet- ed in time these will be used. It most expected that in ost cif the rural sub -div'isi'ons these lists wilt be ready in plenty of time. In the larger cities, however, where the lists are not usually completed until near the end of the year, the 1923 lists will be employed. Sixth Vote on Question 'Phis will be the sixth time the people of Ontario •have voted on the liquor question as the sole issue in' one foam oranother since Confederation an 1867. In. those days the Dunkin Act, which pro- vided for a form of local option, was in force for be followed after Confederation by the Scott Act, which provided for ltolcaa option votes by counties and cities. The Scott Act was a federal pleasure and at that time there was a 'legal dispute as towhether temperance legislation was in fed- eral or provincial Jurisdiction, While it was still before the Privy Council the first plebscite was held in Ontario,fal'lotwing a sim- ilar vote in Manitoba. The Ont- aniio vote was taken in 1894 iend resulted in 192,489 tflor prohibit - and 110,720 against it Shortly afterwards the ,P'rivy Council hand ed down its decision, which decid- ed the federal and ' pnovinc 2t spheres of activity in temperance legislation as we -have them to -day This vote was followed by a bili in the Ontario Legislature more stnin'genitly regulating the liquor tnacic but not grantingprohibition. All Canda Vote in 1898. Shortly after the first plebiscite that Liberal party came into power in the dominion,and following his lore -election promise, Premier Laurier tater announced a nation- wide vote on prohibition. It was held in 1898. Ontario went154, 498 for and 115,284 against pro- thibitiotn. The vote for the eninre Dominion was 278,380 for pro- hibition, and 264,692 against.

R. WELLER BRUSSELS sr 7.o'"iT1 Laurier set forth that, as the baba number who voted for prohibition was less than 23 per cent of the total n'um'ber of elec'to'rs on the lists, his govern'men't could see no good purpose in passing the meas- ure. The 'Ontario Referendum was held in 1902. 'Premier G. W. Ross had introduced a bits which would put into force in Ontario legislation similar to the "Man- itoba Liqulotr Act" provided it wIs approved by a number of electors exceeding half the total' number of electors wllo voted in the ap- proaching provincial general elect- ion. The general election was some months previous to the refer- endum. On this vote the stand- ing was 199,749 for and 103,548 against prohibition. While the the majority was substantial, it was not sufficient to put the act into force. After the defeat of the Ross Government, Premier Whitney in- troduced the local option' bill, which provided lfor [Focal option only when three-fifths of the votes cast in a municipality were favor- able and it also took three-fifths 1 to make the municiipallity wet again after it had been once voted dry. In 1914 pilovin'ciali general elect ion, Horn. N. W. 'Rowell, thein' leader of the Liberal opposition, node "Abolish the Bar" the chief flank in his platform but his party was defeated.
