Philpott alone and unknown to Hamilton, Ontario, some twenty-five years ago, veithiaut even a chapel in a city of noble churches to gather together his •few followers. The other day he left and no bishop could have wished for a • 'Warmer tribute, from aim press and Pulpit, from the man on the street and ,the prispner in the cell. •His going away was not that of a man whose worel had been spaiken and it was time for mother to [aloe up the theme. On the contrary the city where he • had found himself, where his success had been achieved—the city lie had • loved and worked lata -lied held hint mach longer than is usual in such cases. He was, like the gre•al leader he is, compelled to leave the divisional point which he had made secure by noble faith and ability, for the main, strategic position, North, South, East and West had called hina loudly to join them but duty at length drew him •to Moody's church, Chicago, a point now to be strengthened as his first operation. The story of his car- ter may be put briefly. He had be- gun' Evangelistic work in Toronto. But about the end of the last century he saw a wider field in the smaller • city around the lake to the West. He had a pair of long legs, a splendid • speaking voice, a message though, old, yet new and 411141/1.1 6 w131 puwci... Hence with this equipment he took the niarket square as a sanctuary- in the absence of a temple of his own. He went therefore to the crowd and won it as no other rnan in Hamilton has been 'able to 49, and in alien, the crowd has long since been going to hear him, not a drifting crowd but a • loyal congregation, building a fine church and establishing missions at home and abroad, and on a scale rare- ly seen. The rest needs little explan- ation. Such mortals are always rare, and they gather at the top where • only the mighty can stand, Anything reliable about the state of the church in, Germany is welcom- ed by those who are depending upon' religion to do thorough work in re- building the world. Two points • of information have been made public which can be trusted. Dr. Aldolf Deissmann of Berlin Univeraity, the leading German delegate at the tate International • conference of Protest- ant churchesin Copenha.gen deeply •impressed the meeting by his power- ful personality and seriously frank re- znai•ks speaking of the French fear of future attack by Germany he said, "The vast majority of our people is in favor of International peace, bad will has been destroyed." • The other reference is to an article by Dr. •Fred- . crick Curtius of 1-leidelberge in a very reliable magazine edited by Dr. Sieg.' /mind Schultze. He writes as fol- lows. "The most important daily task of ,the churches. is .the- warfare against popular hatreds and a nation- •alism whichpreventsmen from think- ing in the larger terms of humanity. It must be carried on in sermons, in pastoral work, in labors of charity and in social intercourse.

The one held recently in' Albert College, 13e1- leyille, in the Bay of Quinee Confer - epee was a good sample. There was Bible study conducted by Rev. Archer Wallace, 14. A., Toronto, who dealt with Scripture bearing upen the "Teachitig of Jesus on Service." Then Rey G. W. Sparling a missionary 'on furlough from hina held daily talks ablaut the work in that great chnntrY. Evangelism was also on the Program and in view of the campaign this fall in all Methodist churches in Cariada, the addresses by Rev. 5. Co- burn, secretary of the board, ivere opportune. The sessions in the after- noon and evening were varied suffic- iently to give recreation and entertain- ment as well as knowledge. There was at one period a game of baseball and at another a dramatic recital, while a mock trial provided opportun- ity for talent of a different older to be utilized. In giving a sketch of the school, a writer touches upon an im- portant fact.

He is an Auld Kirkman and naturally has a partiality for a• nat- ional church which takes considerable explaining to us on this side of the Atlantic. Ile is almost boastful of the achievement, referring to the Dee- laratory Act' as forming "the ideal relationship between charch and estate, and that for the first time in history." What this is lie explains by way, of contrast.

GORED BY BULL Culross Farm.er, Is In Serious Con- dition and May Not Recover Mr. John A. Sillick, a well-known. and highly. esteemed Culross. farmer, is in a serious condition as the resale of an attack by a bill in his barnyard on Monday afternoon. He was leading the animal to water in the barnyard, when it suddenly turned on him and knocked him down, Mr. Sillick's chest being very 'badly crushed. The bull was contin- uing his attack, when the dog snapped at his heels causing the bull to turn around and chase the dog. Mr. Sill - ick was then able to drag himself in- -side the stable door and push the door shut after him. The bull then started for the yard and was met by Mr. Sillick's spn, Jim, who did not suspect that anything was wrong but drove the animal with a stick. At the gateway to the barnyard the bull again began to roar and was preparing to attack Jim when the dog again at- tracted his attention and he plunged through.the gateway which the young man shut. - • Jim then heard his father's groans and descending into the stable he found his father in an almost dying condition. The doctor and neighbors were quickly summoned by phone and a stretcher fixed up for conveying the injured man into the house,' He could not be moved, however, until the barnyard was cleared of the bull. Thia was done by a well -directed rifle bul- let which finished the big fellow in one crack. Medical examination showed Mr. Sillick's left side to be badly crushed with several ribs fractured arid his collar bone broken. He had previous- ly suffered from a weak heart and also pneumonia... Should. pneumonia not set in again it is thought. he will likely recover. • • (Mr. Sillick has since passed away.)

"Last Wednesday afternoon at tie beatitiful town of Clinton, the largest gathering on such an occasion saw the great Perity Flour team of Gode- rich, the only Sp near -professional nine playing under the alnateur name, that we know of, d.efeated by a few gathered "homebrews" of Winghame score 4-6. It seems a deplorable disgrace that such a fine bunch of P layers as the Purity Flours should "lay down on the job" and be defeat- ed by this home talented,aggregation, or "the 'Advertisers frome the North" as their press called thein all summer, they certainly advertised the Goderich boys last Wednesday. Bet is was not the players fault by any means, we can only once refer to what seemed to us the fact of this folly namely the inferior management, The Goderich team, would if properly managed, de- feat any team playing in the amateur ranks in Western Ontario. But why should they not? when they have, been from such places as Buffalo, N. Y.; importing the best players available Welland, Port Colborne, Toronto, Clinton, Bayfield, Cargill, besides the large lyn population Goodeeripciltayteioc,ho Jim fon MCCarroll had all the "fight" of the whole team in him, at least he execut- • ed it by going at a'spectatorwith his fists, a new way of playing baseball, especially- in the amateur ranks, this alone is •a bad give away -where this boy hails from. It is an old method of squaring up that has become so unpopular that the public will not tolerate- it any longer. One .of their weeklies termed Zurich as "The Roar- ing Lion." Well, this is more lion like than anything a Zurich player ever pulled off and furthermore, Zur- ich has something if they choose to "roar" at their string of defeats. Af- ter the first few rounds of victory they had this spring, when luck and all the breaks went their way, the Purity Flour fixture never looked { like a champion team, compared with the Zurich and Wingham teams of the last two years. They seemed to have too much disorganization and not the unity and co-operation that develops the winning. punch. If ,,Goderich evee wishes to win the N. W. B. A. Trophy which seemingly is their ambition, they must •start at the bottom and build up a team of their own boys that will work together hand m hand, the same as the Winghain and Zurich teams have in the past and then get a management after the style of Lee Hoffman, who so nobly and coolhead- ed has managed our boys the past seasons, and instead. of being contin- uously "sore'? and harping around with protests, and every other way but in a good square sportsman manner. Wingharn` from now on will have easy sailing' in the finals, and without a doubt,. instead of sending the fine Clarke Trophy on display at the Mol - sons. Bank -window to Goderich, as we had anticipated, • it will go back to I Wingham from whence it came. But congratulations to the winners of this I year's pennant. We must say you are worthy of the same, as you al- ways show the true sportsmanship that is admirable in all sporting ranks.
