INDUSTRIAL N OTES Under the above heading the Code rich Signal makes a note of the work on the new salt building of the N. A. 0, Co's works and Jackson clothing Co.—At the North American Chelan cal Co.'s plant the:new buildings are progressing very satisfactorily. The concrete boiler hoose with five large boilers installed is almost complete and the large four story building which will be the main factory is fin iehed as far as the outside work is con cerned and is now being painted. The floors are not yet laid, nor are any of the internal fixtures installed, with the exception of a steam engine, A large concrete reservoir for fresh water, about six feet deep and cover ing abont one half acre of ground, has been put in and the work is rapidly being pushed to a conclusion. A spur line from the G. T. R. tracks bas been built so that it almost encircles the plant. With all the activity connected with the new buildings there has been no cessation in the work of the old plant and large shipments of salt are being made each week,—At the Jack son factory a staff of forty five hands is turning out a large quantity of boys clothing and a still larger staff would be employed if the necessary stock could be obtained. .As all the mater sal is imported the source of supply is somewhat uncertain and the mann facturere have to guard` themselves, in taking contracts, by tweezing them selves of a good supply of cloth. By the courtesy of the manager the Signal, reporter had the privi lege of'inspecting the factory and a most interesting half hour it was. Some day we may describe the inter for working of an up to date clothing factory for our readers, TWO BIG OONCFIRTS, The biggest drawing cards in Clin ton are children's entertainments and the toco w n0erta, put on by the Model School were no exceptions.

One big item on the program was the assem bling of the Allies, in which nearly 100 of the boys represented the armies of the Allies in review before Icing George, Sing Albert of Belgium, the Czar of Russia and the President of France. The four boys who took the four parts were well "made up" and the whole review was esell received by the audience. Principal 13ouek acted as chairman during the evening and opened the entertainment with 'a short speech. The Clinton Orchestra assisted both nights.

Mr. Forbes had., left his office and was looking at his coal cars when the 11 o'clock train came in, Iecame around behind the cars- when the train, after the passen- gers had got out, was backing back down the track to allow the L.J-L& B. train to come down to the sta- tion. The brakesman on the Gode- richr • t Stn and also the one on the way freight, ' standing on the siding, called out to him, but owing to the deceased being hard of hearing, he did not hear the warning, and was struck, the parlor car passing over him, cutting hint in two at the thighs. Coroner Thompson was sum- moned along with Dr. Gandier and after viewing the body, allowed it to be moved to a room in the sta- tion, where the jury will view the body. No date has yet been set for the inquest. A grown up family survive Mr. Forbes, and to the widow and Miss Forbes, who is at the office, the heartfelt sympathy goes out to them in this terrible calamity, No funeral arrangements have been made yet.

Convention The Epworth League Convention of Goderieh District met in Blyth on Mon- dayand'Tuesday, November'1 st and 2nd in the Methodist Church. The Convention was opened by a • bright service of song at 8 p.m., led by Rev. R. J. McCormick of I-Iolmesville, the' District President. Rev. E. G. Powell of Clinton led ed i t i prayer, Rev J. F. Knight, t A J M B. D. of Hensen who has been assisting in the League Anniversary and Institute work in the District gave an inspiring address on "Soul Winning," I -le gave the Christians' 'apologetic for this service, which he outlined as follows, 1, Jesus 'commands it, ''Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel— Acts 16,8, 2. It was Jesus' business and the Christian is Christ's man, Christ's busi. n isi nese his business. 3. Because in it is unspeakable follow ship—"Lo, I am with you alway, etc." 4, That is the work in whist special power is given the Christian—"Ye shall receive power," 5. Itis the greatest work in all the world. There is nothing like it in degree or kind. We must reform men by non - version and forgiveness. 6. Because of the abundant reward. The man who denies himself will not be denied. "FIe shall shine as the stars forever and ever." Rev. George Dewey of Strat- ford was present and gave a stirring address on "Keeping Converts." He said Methodists have been accused of being better at making converts than keeping them. Revivals are scarce now. Methodist Revival services provided ministers for all churches 20 years ago. Sometimes our converts are not well - made. ' Eagerness for numbers override the quality we get or desire. Conversion is a stripping process. I-Iow shall we keep a man? 1. Pro- vide an atmosphere for him. A chilly at mosphere is a disastrous affair. 2. Give them good books. 3. Give them exer- cise, 4. Good fellowship—especially with Christ. On Tuesday morning the Convention opened at 0 o'clock, Rev. L A. McKel- vey of Dungannon led the devotional exercises of song and prayer. Every de- partment of the League was dealt with in the addresses and discussions which followed. The first address was on "The League as a Spiritual Force," taken by Rev, J. W. Hedley, M. A., B. D, Among other things he said — the Epworth League was not a dying institution, nor will it be so long as it remains a spirit- ual force. This is our greatest problem to keep it so. We have come to discuss how best to do this. There is no reason why a high level of spiritual life should not be maintained because we have the brightest and best of our young men and women in our Leagues Then too, we have the presence of the I-foly Spirit to assist us. We must first of all have a proper and good religious at Blyth experience. The tendency on Decision Day is to get the children to sign cards and we give thein no clear Conception of Regeneration. They 'may have intellec- tual faith in Christ, but no definite ex- perience „ with saving faith. Here we must aim' to give them a clear conception of experimental christianity. Religion should be lived out in a cheerful way for it is not a doleful or gloomy thing. The young people's societies should have no gloom. We must try to have spiritual young men and women in office. The officers make very largely the organization. Have a spiritually minded President and Vice - President, for if these two offices set the standard the others will try to measure upto the same standard. stands d. In the Chris. tian Endeavor service it is so much bet- ter to make personal preparation than to read what someone else has written.' It's aood thingto have an outsider give ge g a rousing inspirational address. This meeting affords a splendid opportunity, a study of the Books of the Bible. Our Bible Study is "scrappy" and noncom- ( preher ,ive. The great doctrines of our church "should be taken up and the Ep- worth League provides the best coppers tunity. In the Consecration meeting the Roll should, not be answered by ''Present". Come prepared to quote their favorite Bible premise and why ti't',y like it, or quote a verse of their, favorite hymn and why it is. Miss A. Lawrence then' read a paper on the Relation between Prayer and Mis- sions. She said in part.—"The crucial problem is not strategy, and the like but the privilege of God working unhindered. Deeper than the need of men and money is the need of Prayer. It is more diffi- cult to pray for missions than to give to them. Prayer for missions is only possi- ble out of a life of prayer. 'There are too many fashionable calls of 5 minutes length made upon God when we ought to visit with Iliin. Prayer is a life of com- munion with God. Prayer has called forth all spiritual forces and missionary j movements of all homes. Every step of the early church was christened and crowned by prayer. When zeal failed it was because the flames of prayer had died down. The deepest alliance in the early church was between missions and i prayer. It was the potency of prayer that broke down the seclusion of China, t To win Asia for Christ we must pray. Whatever energies are displayed are the 1 results of prayer, The Student Volunteer , Movement and the Layman's Missionary 'Movement were born in prayer. God has accomplished most by men who have i depended much on 1-Iim. Prayer is the link that fills the thin battle line as Gods Battle fi- "Misssion Study"—An outline of an address by Rev. J. E Jones of Bayfield— He said 'There are but two enemies to Missions, Ignorance and Indifference, eliminate one and you exclude the other.
