WESLEY . CHURCH,
The diamond jubilee services, held
on Sunday last were of al very suc-
cessful character.
Rev. H. M. Manning, of Toronto, ,.a
former pastor, preached very ;aceept-
ably both morning and evening, Isis
morning's discourse was based upon
the words, "Saved by Grace," and
was nsasterl exposition f t
as a e. sato o he
Y p
o n
ower • efficieneof the grace of
power . and y
God as applied to the needs ,of man, -
kind. In the evening he preached
frciiii, the text, "Other foundation can
no man lay than that is laid," and
with, earnest force he urged, Upon his
hearers the futility of trusting to any
other foundation than that .of Christ
for salvation and eternal life.
They Were strongly spiribual
and
scriptural `sermons acid were delivered
in such a ;manner as to produce a
profound' impression.
Each service was well attended' but
that of the evening taxed the _capac-'
it r•of tlici building. - •
The eho i-'eendered pleasing and ap-
propriate music theeaohort the day.
Besides the usual anthems, ab -1110--•
morning service Messrs. 'Wilkin, Mof-
fa,'Rowe and' East sang a quartette-
- and in the evening ItIr.,.1 E,..Doherty,
• who assisted the choir • 'during. :the
day, sang in fine voice; "Fear' Ye.
Not, 0 Israel,". and 'Misses Wilkin,
Boles and Greene rendered a trio
which was much enjoyed,
Th'e. church was prettily ' decorated)
for the occasion, the flowers- contri-
buted by members of the congregation
being very beautiful.
On Monday evening the annual con
gregational tea' was given, one .of the
most successful ever 'held, though
they have been a decided sueccss ever
since their inauguration three or four'
years ago.
Slipper was served front hale'. past

W. M, S., League, Sunday school and
from, the other departments of work,
sueh as the crass leaders, local prcach-

so gave the flnaneial- report. The
trustees had asked for, an offering of
five hundred dollars this year to wipe
off: the, remaining debt on the church
shed and to pay .for improvements to
the parsonage and lilr,' Manning "an-
nounced that the offering placed upon
the plates on Sunday amounted - to
some $515, so, that the` financial
standins of the conieregation was
shown to be excellent: •
Rev. FL M. Manning; who preached
the anniversary" sermons en Sunday,
•was also present on this occasion and
delivered a terming address.
The nmsical part of the program,
was contributed by a couple of.quar-
tettes, who eaelrgave a selection,

he started swiftly'. :

WILL RADIATE IejIOhI CENTRES,
Foryears to come the Trunk rail-
way lines of Ontario will be steamy
witis the more cheaply built- and
equipped electric lines acting as
feeders, and covering territory not
now adequately;' served. •
The' supposition iS that the .electric
lines will, net be built in ,any hap-
hazard sort of way, but according to
a well thought out plan so that there
may lie no lapping and thus waste of
eny nd capital.
It ergs,s aauiderstood that the roads will
run out --from central points on,,steam
lines, junction points preferably,'- so
that the great markets of the \ c,rld
.may be reached with as small an ex-
penditure of time and freight chargee
as possible
For instance, aline serving Stan-
ley, a township lisat is in great heed
of better railway facilities would tap
the steam lines 'at the nearest cen-
tral point and (dies secure the most
