THE ARKY.—The Salvation Army is
having good meetings eand the crowds e
increasing. There have been a nember
converts lately. Captain May Tovill, ye! e
has been resting and visiting friends ;
town, took part in the meetings on Sunda. .
She expects to leave for her station, on Sa •
urcray. Major Baugh will conduct the meet-
ings this Saturday and Sunday, October
29th and 30th, an are. welcome.

—A very pdeitsant and profitable evening
was spent by those who attended the lec-
ture on Friday evening by the Rev. Alex.
Grant. The singing was good, especially
the solo and duet, but. for genuine enter-
tainment and instruction the address by the
reverend gentleman could scarcely be our-
pasaed. Grand truths for the upbuilding of
character were so interspersed with witti-
cisms as to keep the continuous attention of
the listeners. What a noble creature man
is, when his character is the outgrowth of
virtue and truth, walking erect in the
glorious image of his Creator. But how
sedly is that imago effaoed by many who
live lives of debauchery and, tom show their
true character in the bleared eye, the bloat-
ed face and shambling pia—Masons are so
busy around here that Mr. James Forsythe
could not procure one to build a brick
foundation to his residence, consequently
unlooked for genius has been exhibited by
him in building it himself. Self help never
fails, besides being a source of economy,—
Mr. D. D. Wilson has had a gang of men
employed for some timi repriring the dem.
They intend making a permanent job oi it
this time, if possible.—Mrs. Morton intends
opening out in the grocery business in the.
store formerly occupies"! by the late Mr.
John Collins. The people of the south end
will be glad to have a place so convenient,
LARGE LOADS.—Last week Mr. Car-
lon, of the Huron Road, ea,st of Seeforth,
delivered at Oglivie & Company's Mills, in
this town, three Toads of wheat, which foot-
ed up to 314, bushele, or considerably over
one hundred bushels per load, w#h one
team of horses, but Mr. Carlon, always
keeps good horses. The wheat averaged 61
pounds to the bushel. Our readers can
figure up the weight of each load to suit
themselves. Mr. Carlon howeeer, not
only keepa good horses and goodewheit but
he also is a champion apple growet, as he
says he this year packed twelve barrels, the
fruit from one tree.
WELL DONE. —The Clinton NewenRe ord
of this week says " The Synod RePort or
last year, just to hand, shows St. Tificanes'
Church, Seteforth, to have made the largest
contribution to church work, both it home
and abroad, of any Church of Eegland in
the ,scounty. As the members of ,Church
families in the town are not more than one
half of those reported from the other towns
in the county, it speaks well for tiee liber-
ality of the people. If the old saying be
true that the pockets are reached through
the hearts, Rev. Mr. Hodgins is to be con-
gratulated on the success attending his
ministration."
CHRISTIAN WORKERS' CONVENTIOI,t. —The
first annual Convention of the Christian En-
deavoreEpworth League and other kindred
societies, will be held in the Winghtien Con-
gregational Church on Wedneaday-, Novem-
ber 2ncl, with sessions ati2.30 and 7.30 p. m.
All eharches with or without societies
are earnestly invited te, send two delegates
from. their young people. Names shbuld be
sent, at the earliest moment, to Mr. J.
Ritchie, of Wingharn. Addresses will be
delivered by Dr. McDonald, M. P., of
Wingham ; Rev. Mr. Simpson, Brucefield ;
Rev: Mr. McDpnagh, Exeter ; Mr.
Smyth, Clinton, and Mr. D. D. Wilson, of
Seaforth. Papers will be read by Mrs.
Watson, of Wingham ; Miss Tuffdrd, „of
Seaforth, and others.
ACCIDENT.—On Friday evening last, as
Mr. John Hays, son of MaThomas E,Hays,
of McKillop, near town, was driving over
the bridge crossing the river in front of Mr.
Hays' residence, he met with what might
have been a very serious accident. ne had
a team and a wagon, on whieh was a ..heevy
load of grain which he was taking td mar-
ket. When about the centre of the bridge
the structure gave way, falling dowin and
the team, driver and load were precipitated
into the water. The bridge was, prabably,
ten feet high, and the water at that point
pretty deep. Fortunately, howeveri, help
was near and the young man was extricated
from his perilous position not muqh 'the
worse, except that his back was slightly in-
jured by aebag falling on it. The horses
were got out with considerable difficulty,
and durther than a few scratches -were none
the worse for their adventure. It Was a
close bail and it ia almost miraculouti that
all escaped an well as they did.
EGINIONDVILLE N OTES. —At a meeting of
. Sabbath School teachers, held on Tuesday of
last week, it was resolved to send tved dele-
gates to the Provincial Association at
Guelph. It seeme a period of craze fot con-
ventions and associate gatherings, to tvhich
hundreds and even thousands are sent. Do
the results justify the expenditure of time
and means so lavishly used, especially by
Christian bodies ? No religious periodical
can be read, but one hi, stared in the face by
the cry, " More money is needed for this
and that scheme," all doubtless good in
themselves, but too expensive in mahage-
ment, because delegates by the score are
sent instead of two or three. Take as an
example, the Christian Endeavor Society,
which has risen with gourd -like develop-
m,ent during the past ten years ar so. From
twenty to thirty thensand delegateit are
expected at the corning convention of 1893.
Truly these young people with ao Much
burning zeal for the world's conversion will
have a delightful pleasure trip at an expenee
of at least five hundred thousand dollars.
Better curtail expenses by cutting down re
presentation to Assemblies Conferencee and
Convections ; then tbe ;Rent contributo

MATRIMONIAL.—The gentleman referred
to, in the following paragraph, which we
take from the La Crosse, Wieconsin, Repub-
lican, of the 6th inst., is well known to
many in this vicinity, being a son of Joseph
Evans, Esq., of McKillop. It says : " St.
Mary's Church was the scene this morning
of a brilliant wedding, in which the con-
tracting parties were Dr. Edward a Evans
and Miss Sarah Thompson, both of this
city. The social position and wide acquaint-
ance of both bride and groom attracted a
large number of friends who completely
filled the church. Shortly before nine o'clock
the bridal party entered the church, pa.ssing
slowly up the central aisle to the strains of
a wedding march played by Miss Grettan,
organist of St. Mary's. The ceremony was
performed.by the Right Rev. James Schwe-
bach, assisted by the Rev. William White.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, mass
was celebrated by the Rev. William White,
pastor of St. Mary's. The bridal party
drove directly to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
M. T. Hayes, brother-in-law and sister of
the bride, where a wedding breakfast was
served to about thirty relatives and inti-
mate friends of the bride and grOom. Dr.
Evans has been a practising physician in this
city for four years where he has a wide
circle of friends. Nix's. Evans has lived in
La Crosse several years. She is well and
favorabl, known as a teacher in the public
sch ools. '

speak theaante language ; the same blood
rune in our veins. God grenit that we be
one in Christ ; true brethern in Him and
Him our elder brother."
Mr. Hugh McKay, of Grey, translates as
follows : • There is a crowu of glery on
Moses' head that fadeth not away. This
excellency is not alone for Moses but for as
many as love the Lord Jesus, that gave
Himielf a ransom for sinners. Come, there-
fore, unto Him, for we are here far from our

RETURNED0—Mr. Alexander McGregor, of
MoKillop, return,ed home last week from a.
visit to Finlay, Ohio, where he had been
to see his brother Archibald. Mr. Mc-
Gregor says his brother and his ' family are
very comfortable, doing well, and like the
country, and he is afraid they will not care
to return to Canadaeagain. In addition to
to carrying oti a large farm Mr. McGregor
hati a dairy of some 40 cows, the milk from
which he dispeses of in Finlay The coun-
try for miles aeound that !elates abounds in
oil and natural, gas wells. The people of
the town and the farmers for miles around
use the natural gas both for light and fuel.
They have it conveyed to their residences
in pipes, and when they want a fire all they
have to do is to turn a tap and light a match
and away goes their fire. They use the gas
both for cooking and heating purposes,
while all the power engines are driven by
gas. This is a great saving in fuel, as the
natural gas is very cheap. One might
almost be afraid that with so much infiani-
able material in the bowels of the earth the
whole country might burn up some day.
But, although Mr. McGregor had a delight-
ful visit and wel pleased with all he saw,
heis still better satisfied than ever with On-
tario.

THE DEBATE. —The debate io Kidd's hall
on Friday evening last, under the auspices
of the Mechanics' Institute Literary Society,
was fairly well attended, but the lecture in
Egmondville on the same evening no doubt
prevented a number from attending the de-
bate. The subject, " Are the people of
Canada ready for a _Prohibitory Law ?" is a
live and interesting one and .some good
points were brought forward by both aides,
which were composed of the following able
debaters : Affirmative, John McMillan,
M.P.; W. Cameron Smith and R. N. Brett ;
negative, George E. Jackson, Harry Beattie
and James Watson. Mr„ Thomas Hays
was to have been present to take the nega-
tive side, but was unable to attend on
account of illness. His place was ably
filled, however, by Mr. James Watson.
The chair was occupied by Mr. D. D. Wil-
son, but no decision was given. It is the
intention of this seciety to hold debates' on
live subjects every second Friday night and
it is to be hoped. that they will be well
patronized. The society will hold a liter-
ary and musical entertainment this Friday
evening, when isln interesting programme
will be given. Every person should turn
out and in this, way not only encourage the
society in their good work, but alao aid the
Mechanics' Institute.
GAELIC TRANSLATIONS. --We still continue
to receive translations of the extract of
Rev. urdo ielcKenzie's Gaelic sermon de-
livered in Toronto recently, and which we
published at the time. We this week give
thoee on hand, and with these we close. It
will be noticed that there is considerable di-
versity in the several translations. The
nearest to accuracy is that of Dr. Meldrum,
of Ayr published last week, and that of our
Bluev:le correspondent, which appears un-
der that heading this week. The following
is by Rev. J. L. Campbell, of Cheltenham,
Ontario : " There is a fadeless crown of
of glory on the head of Moses ; it will not
be only for Moses, but also for every one
who loves the Lord Jesus, who gave Him-
self a raneoin for sinners. Come then to
Him. are here far from our homes, but
we are one in the flesh. The same blood
runs through our veins, we speak one lan-
guage. May the Lord grant that we bp one
in Christ ; true brethern in him who is the
Elder Brother."
The following is by Alex. McKay, Sea -
forth : " The crown of glory on Moses' head
that fadeth not away, is not only for -Moses
but for every one that loves the Lord Jesus,
who gave Himself a ransom for sinnerst
Come then lento Him. We are here far from
our homes, but one in Him who guides all.
In our business we speak one language.
May God grant that we may be all one as,
true brethren in Christ who is our Brother."
Mr. Peter McKay, of Tuckersmith, presi-
dent of Chiselhurst Epworth Leagertrans-
lates as follows : " There is a crown of
glory on the head of Moses that shall not
fade away. Not only etter Moses is this, ,but
for all who love the Lord Jesus, who gave
Himself a raesom for sinners. . Come there-
fore unto Him. We are here far from our

BARN. ThiltNED.-000 day last weels as a
steam thresher was at work on a farm in
Logan, belonging to Mr. John Benewiee,
Reeve of this township, a spark blew from
the steamer in some way and lighted under
the cylinder of the threshing machine. The
flames spread through the barn before the
machine could be stopped, so that the men
in the mow had not time even to save their
clothes which they had laid off and barely
escaped with their lives. The machine had
only been at work a few hours and not a
single article could be removed from the
burning building. It contained the season's
crop off a hundred acre farm, all of which
wee destroyed, together with two separator
threshing machines and other implements.
The loss will be quite heavy as there was
only a small insurance.
