Huron County Christian Endeavor Budget. Are you planning to be at Wingham on June 21st and 22nd. These are the dates of the County Sunday School and Christian Endeavor Convention. HOW TO TREAT NEW MEMBERS. -Every new member should have considered as carefully and thoroughly as possible the pledge he is to take on entering the society, so that there may be no walking in the dark and when it is taken the member will be ready to assume a fair share in the work of the society. And to do that intelli- gently, and with a sense of personal obli- gation, then there will be called forth self- respect, and a delightful feeling of partner- ship. The new member will be no mere figurehead or silent partner. All his inter- est will be called into play, and he will realize that much depends on him, and that he is of some consequence. This is the key to the position of a strong, vigorously active and permanent society., Think of it well. Test it and see if it is not. ON LAPSED MEMBERS. -In every religious mociety members who have " fallen away ,backward" are found.. They lose interest, or they cease having fellowship with some one who was the uniting link, or some stronger attraction elsewhere calls them off, and they drop out. What is to be don o in their case? Do not say, well, I guess we can get along without them." That may be the case, but you have to think of them as well as yourselves. To recover them seek to create an interest that will reach them, get a link to which they can join them- nelves, work for them with all the ingenuity you have, seek by any means, or by all means to recover them- Eo will your society be strong. THE MINIsTRY 'or Music. -In the Chris- tian Endeavor society nothing is of more im• ,portance than the music that is rendered there; a great part of the life and well be - ng of the society_depends upon it. It has a most influential ministry ; it throws life in- to the heart of the society; it awakens its emotional nature; calls its imagination into play, and stirs it to activity in every good work; it bind the hearts of the menthe's in one. A song becomes a rallying cry or an evangel of hope, or a preclamation of di- vine grace. Therefore, cultivate the mud- cial talent of the society; never let a meet- ing pass without a sweet solo or a charming duet; have "_songs and solos" by Sankey, or the fine collection of choice songs by Brierly Company, of Chicago, and you will never be at a loss. NASHVILLE, 1898. -Five hundred Iowa Endeavorers expect to attend the Nashville convention. What do Canadians think Of that. How many will go from Canada? CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR AND TITE PRESS. - "The Times" of Brockton, Massachueettn once a week published a Christian Endeavor column. Over two hundred Canadian papers afford to. our Provincial editor the same privilege. Our young people are de- lighted to see a space given in the daily paper, at least once a week, to the consider- ation•of what is of speeiaA intereat to them; they are sure to take an interest in these papers and patronize them. Each society in the Fitchbury Union, Massachusetts, contributes at least one .item a week for the Chriztian Endeavor ccilumn of the local pa,pers, carried on by the press committee of the union. THE GROWTH OF CHRISTIA:s.1 ENDEAVOR. - It is to -be found organized in every denomi- nation. It is in the army and navy and arnong the cabmen and police ; it is among the men of the life-saving stations; it has even penetrated the prieons and laidhold of the prisoners and is seeking to lift them up to a better life. Where is it not? It has swept round the world and has conquered in every clime. .And what is -the great les- son this teaches? It is this, that the pros fession of a faith in Christianity is not enough, there must be the practise of it. Men profess faith and stand stone still, but. the word of God is "Speak unto the children of Isreal that they go forward." Christian Endeavor chimes in with that; it is an or- ganized endeavor to do God's will; it meets the longing heart with encouraging help and sympathetic fellowship. - THE INTELLIGENCE OF ENDEAVORERS, No one can attend a Christian Endeavor convention without realizing that the young people are intelligent; their papers; their testimony given in the sunrise prayer meet- ing all go to show that, and yet what.satis- flee us at first does not continue to satisfy us; we must advance. Young men go to college and university to get learning, but many cannot do that, what than shall they do? We answer, read, read, read. Books constitute the modern university; evell chosen books, tried, tested books; books by the best men. Honey as Food. • According to the Cultivator a pound of honey will go as far as a pound of butter, and if both articles he of the best quality, the honey will cost the less of the two. Often a prime article of extracted honey, equal to comb honey in every respect ex- cept appearance, can be obtained. for half the price of butter or less. Butter is at ite best -only when "fresh," while honey, prop- erly kept, remains indefinitely good -no need to hurry it out of the way for fear it may become rancid. Sugar is much used in hot drinks as in coffee and tea. The eub- stitution of a mild -flavored honey in such use may be a very profitable thing for the health. Indeed, it would be better for the health if the only hot drink were what is ealled in Germany -honey tea -a cupful of hot water with one or two tablespoonfuls of extracted honey. The attainment of great age has in some cases been attributed large- ly to the life-long use of honey tea. Many people think "honey is honey," all just alike but this is a great mistake. Honey may be of good, heavy body, what house- keepers call "well ripened," weighing sometimes twelve pounds to the gallon, or it may be quite thin. It may also be granu- lated or candied, more solid than lard. It may be almost as colorless as water, and it may be black as the darkest molasses. The flavor of honey varies according to the flavor from which it is obtained. It would be im- possible to describe_ in words the flavors of the different honeys. The different flavors .1 7, • ... in -honey are as distinct as the odors in flow- ers. Atoong the lighter -colored honeys are white clover, linden (or bass -wood) sage, sweet clover, alfalfa, willow herb, etc. and among the - darker are found heartsease magnolia (or poplar), horsemint, buckwheat, eto. Tastes differ as to honey as well as in all other things. White clover is so gener- ally preferred to buckwheat, with its very dark color and strongly marked flavor, that buckwheat honey always roles lower in price than white clover; yet there are some who prefer buckwheat to any other honey.

CIIAS. FISH, Methodiet Minister, 192 Dunn Ave„ Toronto. • Politeness as a Substiture for • Principles. In France, atithe present day, elle great majority of She people are ardentnrepabli- cans in opinion, but they are also great ad- mirers of the sort of courtesy which is as- sociated with the "ancient regime "-the old-time gentility. There lately died in that country a cer- tain Monsieur Daunaseans, who was a fine retiresentative in his menners and Opinions of the old school. His elaborate courtesy wits of the elegant, "palavering," antique sort, and it kept his head above water in times when other old -school fellows went to the bottom. Not many years ago he was Perfeet of a Department, and stationed at an important provincial town. Just at that time a very Radical Ministry came into power -an ultra•Republiean Government, which announced its intention to return all Conservative and " Reactionist" function- aries out of office. The Minister of the In- terior was a particularly violent Radical, with no bowels of -compassion for any who were suspected of Monarchical opinions. One of the first functionaries selected for sacrifice Was Monsieur Dauna,ssans. It happened, however, that his Conservative opinions were not so strenuously held as to incline him against' holding office under a Radical Administration. When he was summoned to Paris for dismissal he want to the Cabinet of the Minister with his hat in his hand and his most complaisant expres- sion on his face. "You are represented to mei dir," said the Minister. "as hostile to our Republican institutions." Monsieur Daunassans bowed very low in the most graceful style of the ancient gen- tility. "1 think, Monsieur le Ministre," he began, "that I may possibly prove my- self worthy of your Excellency's confidenoe. If I may be permitted to enter into certain details it will be I fancy, within my power to demonstrate to your Excellency - It was the first time that the new Minis- ter had ever been called "your Excellency." He was a man who had sprung from the common people, and the phrase, corning from a man who seemed to know how to use it, was very pleasant to his ears. His manner softened perceptibly. Daunassans went on with a long and flattering speech, in which he had very little to say about his own poli- tics, but in which the words "your Axcel- leney " occurred a great many times. After about three-quarters of an hour he came out of the Minister's Cabinet. He had been, indeed, removed from his Prefecture, but he had been promoted to a better ono! The, Minister's Radical friends were furious. They went to him and mid- " What ! You have promoted this man? Why, he is the most abominable of Reaction- ists ? ' W -well," -answered the Minister, as if recalled to himself, "perhaps he's a Reac- tionist ; but I'll tell you, he's a mighty 'well-bred m n !" • To acco•and Cancer. A well-k4own medical man tells us that cancer of tile lips and other serious ailments are caused by smoking and chewing. Smok- ing and chewing are the exciting causes of cancer about the tongue and lips, Ode of the cheek, or soft palate; but they can never • in themeelves cause it 'without the diathesis _exists. The system may be germ -Wenn -And those germs remain latentduting the entire life of an individual, unless sonie exciting cause to weaken a part is brought to bear upon the case. It is true, labial cancer mostly deposits itself on the lower lip,where the cigar or the pipe rests; true, also, that the more inveterate the habit, the more fre- quent osecer ; that the short pipes and strong tobacco are more irritating, atid, whilemany surgeons deny the existence of smokers cancer, others indicate tobacco, as the cause of cancer of the lips and nasal paseageso The under lip, or part of the tongue most in contact with the over -heated stem of the pipe, is most frequently attack- ed. Those neoplasms grow in the base of the tongue, and an the tonsils of those who have lost their teeth, and who hold the pipe deep in the mouth. Now the weight of the pipe is a solute of irritation, and the cancer is found on the side where the pipe is held. My opinion is that tens of thousands of men would be greatly benefitted if they gave up smoking entirely. It would_be a hard trial at first, but if they went in :for a' regular system of healthful training, and obeyed the golden laws of health, they would soon feel ten years younger. Meanwhile, let those who are determined to stick to the weed, be most .careful as to the cleanliness of the teeth and gums. A mouth wash of borax with a little tincture of alum will be found invaluable. -Gordon Stables, M. D., R. N. • Why "El Dorado?" Since the discovery cf the famous Kion - dyke gold mines the term El Dorado is fre- quently heard. Its origin is interesting. About 1500 it was rumoured that in South America there was a city of great, wealth, called Manes, whose King, El Dorado, was periodically smeared with oil or balsam, and was then powered with gold -dust, until his whole body had a gilded appearance. It was said that on these (mations he threw gold,emeralds -and other precious metals and gems into a sacred lake, in Which he after- wards bathed. Begining in 1532 the Spaniards sent many large expeditions to discover thie phantom city. Most of them ended disastrously,hun- dreds of lives being lost. One explorer as serted that he had found El Dorado in.the Amazon in 1540. This was disproved and the search continued. This resulted inithe conquest of New Granada,the opening uk of the mountain region of Venezuela, the dis- covery of the noble rivers, the Orinoco and the Amazon, and the exploration of the vast forests west of the Andes. It has been supposed that the origin of this fable arose from the yearly catenation of a tribe of Indiana near Bogota • whose chief was on these occasions gilded with gold -dust. But this ceremony was never witnessed by the Spaniads, and the story may simply be another version' of the El Dorado myth. The name El Dorado was commonly used to describe the eitY or country which was the object of the search, but it is now ap- plied to any gold -bearing region of more than ordinary richness. _41 Farm Notes. A far-seeing Ameriean farmer says : There was never a time in the history of the world when it was more dangerous for a man with a family, or one who expeots some day to have a family, - to let go of his land and try something else. In seeking a market for our farm products we are too apt to overlook the nearby mar- ket. Aim to produce such products as the surrounding market calls for; anticipate the demand. Every month of the year some product of the farm is sought for by the consuming community, and if those pro- ducts are at hand purchasers- may be found to take them. The fact is that the small farmer can fol- low the denproved methods of agriculture as well as the large landholder, if he will only think he can, and will do it. The soon- er a man realizes that the farm should pro- duce all that is required on the farm that the farm can produce economically, and buy only those things that cannot be produced on the farm, the sooner will that man's con- dition begin to improve. There are millions of acres of land in every county of the State classed as poor or worn:out lands that are oaturally as produetive as any lands of their class, but they need to be tilled -tilled until the sun and air have livened up their latent fertility ; and with little help, and that little often in the, form of an applica- tion of barnyard manure, wonders may be worked, and their increased 'productiveness will fill their owners with surprise and their barns with hay. It requires two or three years after an underdrain is put in to get its best effects. Even the first winter it will drain the soil immediately over it and for a short distance either way. If the -soil is full of vegetable matter and porous it will drain farther. But the second winter the soil will be drain- ed a considerable distance farther than the first, and some gain will be made the third and fourth winters. In a clay soil this ex- tension of the benefits of underdraining is slower, especially if most of the vegetable matter in the soil 'has been worked out by cultivation. For this reason underdrains are often made shallower and nearer to- gether on clay soils, so as to secure more perfect drainage. But we believe that drains fully three feet deep and four rods apart will give the best satisfactiont in the long run. A drain that depth will seaure per- fect drainage two rods on either side, and though it costs more to dig the deeper drain, it does not cost so much to -put in the tile or stone for one drain as it does for two. • To Young Men in Business. A businets man, who has seen many ups and downs in life, who has made a fortune and lost it, and made a fortune again, seta down the following thoughts of a practical nature for the consideration of young men in business :- "Inasmuch as all men must have their periods of adversity, and most men have much to discourage them in a business career, I think I would say that fortitude and pa- tience under discouragement are among the most necessary qualities in the conduct of business life. . "'Having done all, stand I' is, I believe, a Scripture text. And, without sermonis- ing,,I may say that every man at some time in his life is sure to oome to a point where the clouds are so thick and the discourage- ments are so great that he cannot see his way clear, and is in deep doubt as to what he ought to do. That is the -time for the exercise of patience and of sound phil- osophy. "By what philosophy can a man fortify soul under the buffetings of adversity? "He must get the broader view. He should remember that the vexations and be- setmente which seem to him so severe and so harassing are, in fact, no more so than those which fall to the lot of Many, and. that while to each in the hour of his trial such vexations seemed unusually acute, the great world was moving on. "The men in the next offices of the next house were not conscious that anything un- usual was occurring. "There is a sort of grim satisfaction 'in thinking how little difference it will make a generntion hence whether one's venture is a failure or a success. I have gone through several terrible fin- ancial panics, each one of them was full of distress for many men in business as it pass- ed into history; but who knows or remem- bers these incidents now? One can gain fortitude to stand u,p under trials which seem almost too severe to be borne by -the rememberance that others have been equally beset and have lived through ad veraity and afterward been abundantly crowned .with success. When a man la hard hit he tometimes „ heenetteitee girds at philosophy. At such a time a man should try not to itruggle in the toils. He should remember that time heals wounds which cannot be ried in their 'treatment. "01 course these statements are made upon the theory that the man involved in these troubles is firmly fixed in his deter- mination to do right. A man under agreat stress should guard himself so i that he s not tempted to get oot of his trouble by any- thing other than the most honorable buil- nese methods. "ouch a man wi I find very often that his troubles have beeii magnified by nervous strain, and that thi gs are not nearly as bad as they seem. But however bad they may be, 'Having done all, let him stand." • • Law of elf-Defende. The right of sel -defence is by some old writert declared be inherent in all men by the law of natur e Now these "natural righti" are all ver well, but they are not recognized by the la of Great Britain. It is the law that a m n may defend himself, his wife, child or se vent from physical ag- gression, He may a repel by force a forci- ble attack upon his property. When you, or your wife, child o servant, is attacked or threatened -with vi lenoe in such a manner as reasonably to le d u to believe that violence lie about to 0: used, you may resist , the aggressor. And as the best mode of resistence is very o n to attack, you may lawfully follow the 4dvioe given by an old prizefighter to a pup 1, i.e., get in the first whack." But self-defence n4uat be moderate. .It must not be totally disproportionad to the attack. For instance, if a hulking ruffian runs at me with a nife (says the Family Lawyer for February I may shoot him. But if he runs at me mere y with his fists clench- ed and I shoot him ead with a revolver I shall probably be han ed by the neck. Not that t e law expects a man to be calm and cool and collectedin 11.eircumstarces. By no means. For inst ea, if the said burly ruffian rushes at m with clenched "fists, evidently meaning m'schief, and I hit him with a heavy stick on the back of the ear I may kill him but I s all not hang for that. I had a righe'to Use he stick; and in the circumstances I am n t to be supposed to be cool enough to eaim fo a spot not likely to be fatal. Again, self defence must not de- velop into revenge. bus, if I am threaten- ed with knife and by. he timely display of a pistol I frighten my assailant so that he runs away I must not hoot after. him. If I do I am just as liabl as though he had never threatened me:;cause I shoot at him not in self-defence, b t by way of punish- ment or revenge. 1 A. Par ble. Science teaches us that while nothing seems more capricious and accidental than the falling of a tree, y40 a fixed unalterable law regulates the time nd the method of its fall. The direction of ts fall, for one thing, is mechanically determ ned by itit mode of growth. Few trees gr w symmetrically all round. Some eirournst nee or other Makes development lop -sided. If you examine the rings in the wood of a ree you will rarely find them forming a series of perfect concen- trio circles. They are irregular in size and shape. Normally a tree grows towards the light, and develops most wood and foliage and fruit hi the direction where there is most light. It is thus eighted for its fall by its inclination to tie light. And the moral which this interezting circumstances teaches us, and which e may well take as our guiding lesson for new year, is, that what determines the die etion of the fall of our tree of life is that °wards which the bent of our being is incli ed. Our fall, like that of the tree, will b no mere thing of chance, but will be fo eordadned by our mode of growth, by the way in which we have lived. If the bent f our being is to- wards the world, our na etre will be devel- oped on the worldly sid and on that side it will be weighted for its fall, and great will be the fall thereof. ut if, on the other hand; it is towards Godi and holiness, we shall form on that side b eased and fruitful growth that will make our fall -when it comes in due season -to b aorpss the thres- hold of heaven. -The R v.
