laaoPHer WELLS says the war will et:d
by Manch, Not desiring to be rude
we will not say more than that he is por-
sibly guessing,
BY the interest the stock broker and
other financial men are taking in the
coining Canadian Loan a person could
ahnost think they belonged to the "Big
Brother" organization.
THERE'S a big kick on over the re-
ductions in the A 0 U. W. Beneficiary
Certificates. Power was granted by last
Grand Lodge to deal with them by an
actuary. Few delegates expected the
tut would be as deep.
SATURDAY of this week is the date in
which the prohibition of the Neer traf-
fic during the period of the war montes
into 1ff-et in the Provipce of Outar°o.
It should prove a great biessiug if the
law is properly enforced and all patri-
otic citizens should see that it is
FoLLowXNG out the plan of several
years an order-in.Couneil has set Mon-
day, October gth, as the annual Thanks-
giving Day. Putting the holiday on
Monday, if the railways play a fair part,
would give an outing of 3 days for those
who wished to visit. Canada will have
good reason to spend the day in thanks-
giving.
THUR4DAY of this week is the date of
the Provincial Election in British Col-
umbia. Many believe the Bowser
Government will have to walk the plank
but today will tell the tale, There le
ample rode for a glean up in the pollti.
0111 affaIra of B. C. and it cannot come
any too peon.
ONE of the signs of the times is the
discussion of increased trade relations
between the Colonies of the British
Empire after the war. John Bull's big
and prosperous family Cannot afford to
do anything else but help each other.
We have much in common and about all
that requires to be done is for the
governments to make it easy to do so,
THE sudden demise of H. H. Miller,
ex -M. P., for South Grey, took place at
bis home in Hanover, on Labor Day.
He was 55 years of age and was the
Liberal candidate for the next Federal
election. Mr. Miller was born in Owen
Sound but ilad made his home in Han-
over for the past 3o years and enjoyed
the confidence of a wide circle. He
took a deep interest in public affairs.
SIR REDMOND RUELIN, Geo. R. Cald-
well and J. H. Howden, the Manitoba
politicians, against whom- charges were
made by the Liberals, have been given
temporary release, after 6 weeks trial, by
the disagreement of the jury. g ad-
judged the men were guilty and 3 re-
fusing to accept this viewpoint. It was
a close squeak and a new trial may be
ordered,
LONDON City Council, whose members
recently had a scrap in which glass
tumblers were used as the weapons,
have substituted hygienic paper cups.,
It will be healthier to be hit with one of
the latter although it may mean a longer
and less exciting battle. We suppose
there is nothing to hinder an Alderman
to carry a few rocks in his pocket by
way of reserve ammunition when the
paper bullets have spent their force.
SHARP ceusure is being administered
over, what is styled, the arbitrary
character of the methods of the Under.
writers Association, which, may result
in a thorough going investigation by the
Government. Some think the powers
they exercise do not belong to them or
if they do there is large room for curtail.
ment, There is plenty of space for
latitude in the varying conditions of
towns and villages but some of the pro-
posed enforcements are neither practical
nor feasible. An enquiry RS to ways and
means would do no harm.
ANNUAL report presented by the Ford
Motor Car Company shows the net pro-
fits for the past year to be nearly $59,-
994,158. Such an enormous stun is dif-
ficult to comprehend as it means au
average of over jpt,000,000 a week

an enormous business, The output for
year was 508,000 cars and their sales
totalled 472,350 automobiles. 49 870

Ontario, is not the least.

charged for type, paper, ink, etc,, by

The losing aide tendered congratula-

Aviann, 13, T)., of Anton, a former
teacher in the eohool, and who was
renommended to the ministry by the
Official Board of Brussels Methodist
Church 14 years ago, was invited to
preach the sermons, on Sabbath,
September 8rd. He was greeted by
large and interested congregations.
At the morning set vice, after a brief
setnlonetle to the children, the rever-
end gentleman gave a stirring and
most appropriate diecnprse for Labor
Day Sunday from the text ;—"Is not
this the carpenter's son it" He point-
ed out, the dignity of labor, Lhe intim-
ate relation between capital and labor
and the necessity of the brotherhood
of mankind being always in evidence.
By facts of history, illustrations and
the example of the "Carpenter's Son"
the subject was matte very plain and
the lessons drawn were thoroughly
practical.
The Rally Day service of the school
was held in the afternoon with a large
attendance. An enjoyable program
was presented, after the opening ex-
ercises, consisting of solos by F. H,
Gilroy, Mies Carrie Hiugstnn and Rev.

and Avison and a bright short address
by Lhe latter. The offering was $8.18.
Good music was rendered by the
Orchestra and School.
In the evening the sermon was
founded on the Scripture, "My
Church." The history of the °beech
was sketched, various interpretations
put on the passage "Thor art Peter
and on this rock will I build my
church" were referred to and the duty

to hear hint, For next year he is in-
vited to the pastorate of Welland
Methodist church, where there is a
membership of 616 and salary of $1400.

There are 1.0 classes at present under

Rev, Mr. Wren, pastor, supplied itt
Acton for Mr. Avison and the Free
Pi ese of that town speaks as follows
of his visit :—"Rev. David Wren, M.
A., paster of the Methodist Church,
Brussels, preached here last Sunday,
Rev. Mr. Avison being in his pulpit
for anniversary services. Rev. Mr.
Wren preached very able arid helpful
sermons. His discourses were elo-
quent expositions which commanded
the marked attention of the congrega-
tion at both services, He is a preach-
er of rare gifts of oratory and withal
presents the truths of the word of
God in a way which commands the at-
tention turd sustains the interest of
his heaters. A matter of interest to
Acton people is the fact that Rev. 15 r.
Wren is a nephew of the late David
Wren, who was for many years an
esteemed yeoman of Nassagaweya,"
