Every selection was splendidly rendered and the appreciation of the audience was fully shown in the enthus- iastic applause and requests for encores, which werepleasantly responded to. The solo numbers were excellently rendered and - proved the young ladies to be most accom- plished musicians. The vocal selections by Master Filson, the boy MEZZ0 soprano, were quite in keeping with •the balance of the programme. At the conclusion of the en- tertainment a reception was held in the hall for the members of the orchestra, when dancing was thoroughly enjoyed until after two o'clock. • EGMONDVILLE NOTES. -Mies Addie Steph- enson, of this village, left, on Wednesday, for Watford, to spend some time with her grandmother before she leaves for her home in the prairie provinoe.-Mr. William Jack- son, of Ripley, and Connie VanEgmond, of Stratford, spent the Easter holidays at their homes here. -Mrs. J.

The aim is, if at all possible, to make such a union of the congregations, respectively con- cerned as will do away with the necessity of any aid from the Augmentation Fund. This would be a great advantage to the church, as the money yearly required for several of these charges could be forwarded to the newer fielda in the west. • ST. THOMAS CHURCH SERVICES. -The Easter services in St. Thomas church Were attended by large congregations. The fl ral decorations were beautiful, and the m sic was up to the usual standard for such fe ti - vale. The rector occupied the pulpit, and preached on "The Resurrection" in the morning, and on " Paradise" in the evening. The large number of 130 partook of the Sac- rament at the two celebrations of Hedy Communion, while the total offertory for the day was nearly $125. -The annual vestry meeting was held on Monday evening, when the warden's report showed the receipts of the year to be largely in excess of last year, and the perish to be in a splendid condition in every perticular. 'Messrs. E. A. Fox and Dr. Belden were chosen es wardens,and Mes- srs. Holmstead and Minty elected to repre- sent the congregation at the Synod. A reso- lution of sympathy was ordered to be for- warded to the family of the late Mr. Kemp. Votes of -thanks were given to the choir, Sunday echool teach- ers and officers, of the church, and a standing vote,expressive of the con- tinued confidence of the congregation in the rector, after his ten years service, was pass- ed, and three months leave of absence was granted him, in order that he may visit the Northwest during the summer. THE OGILVIE MILL SOLD. -Mr. William- son, of the Ogilvie Milling Company, was here from Montreal on Wednesday and com- pleted the sale of the mill property to the Messrs. Stewart, the gentlemen who were formerly negotiating for it. Mr. Arthur Rollins, who was then associated with them, hap withdrawn. The new company will be known as "The Seaforth Milling Company." The new proprietors were let into full pos- session yesterday, when the mill was started up again end Ls now doing business as for- merly, with several of the old employees at the helm in their old positions,: The new company have ample capital and its mein- bers are shrewd, capable, industrious busi- ness men whom we are pleased to welcome ; as citizens. In addition to doing a general mercantile and shipping business as hereto- ' THE HURON EXPOSITOR fore, they intend to devote special attention to gristing and desire to cultivate a large farmers' trade. They will do thisewe have no doubt, as they have ,facilities unexcelled by any 'other similar establishment in the province, while a better centre fot a large and profitable trade of this kind does not exist any where. The new company will have a business announcement in THE Ex. POSITOR next week, and they will let the farmers of the surrounding country know what they can do for them. In the mean- time we recommend with confidence the new company to all who may require to do business at an establishment of this kind. • COUNCIL.-Tht regular meeting of the town council was held on Monday evening last. The finance committee reported that the water works d‘naturos'issued twenty years ago, had falliiikalue. The committee wore instructed to make arrangements for the retirement of these debentures. A ver- bal offer was received from Mrs F. Gutere idge agreeing to construct the . granolithic walks on Main street for eleven cents per foot. This offer was accepted by the coun- cil, providing Mr. Gateridgehs figures for the necessary filling in are satisfactory to the street committee, and he completes thee required agreements for the carrying out of the work. The walks are to be constructed in the same way and on the sanhe conditions as those constructed last year. Arrange- ments were also made to secure the services of an engineer to make a survey and plan of the town for drainage purposes, this work to be done also on the frontage tax system. A resolution was alio passed to the effect that ia view of the resolution passed at the meeting of citizens to consider the propriety of submitting a by-law exempting the Ogilvie Mills property from taxation, it is not expedient to submit such a byelaw. Supplies for the fire department, including 450 feet of new hose and other articles to the value of about $450, were accepted, and the matter of payment of the same left to the fire and light eommittee, to be paid for if the hose stand the, necesiary test.

A committee, consisting from each of the congregations in as also named. Mr. Shearer, the field ry, has been a successful pastor, who en up his charge in Hamilton to take oharge of thie work. He is young, enthusias- tinica,npairi he has ad d res of the by it, and ac Mr. tlcreta as a ere day b and hour. ed for Russel of thre town secret has gi 'xcellent',speaker and canscarcely help g enthusiasm in the good cause which so much at heart. In his excellent he explained the objects and aims ociety, the kind of work being done nd ihe necessity there is for earnest yIVO ervice'if we are to preserve, even in Ontario, the sanctity of the Sab- bath, He showed the lax observance of the day in the United States and the serious results that have thereby scorned to the working people, as it is estimated by reli- able mithorities that over three million working peoele there have ben robbed of their Sabbath, and are aotually forced to labor seven days in the week to satisfy the greed and rapacity of certain corporations and employers of labor of many kinds. _ It is to prevent this kind -of thing in Canada and to preserve to all, rioh and poor alike, the day of quiet rest. As to bow the thing works in this province, Mr. Shearer gave the following, among many - examples, as some of the pleas for commercial neeessity. He said ; "The Calcium Carbide Works at Merritton, began running on the Lord's day, claiming that the electrical machinery also the material used, suffered through not running continuously, and that they could not colnpete with similar concerns across the -border, and that they were unable to make the supply meet the demand without con- tiluous running, and they set twenty-five men at work on this plea of commercial necessity. The Lincoln paper mills, in the same place, determined to operate on a part of Sunday because they were unable to fill their orders without doiog so, and ordered some hundreds of employees, in i• neequence, to be on duty for a considerabl portion of the Lord's day. They were on y hindered from executing this order by the timely warning of the Lord'a Day Allince, as the carbide works were stopped byj legal pro- ceeaings taken by the St. Catharines branch of the Alliance. The Sulphide Pulp Works of the same place, claimed that it was neces- sary to run on Sunday, but after a new mill of a similar kind was started in another ri part of the province, -they form the necee- sity had vanished. The Glu °ea factory in Cardinal ran for some time on Sunday, claiming it was necessary. Sine it doubled its capacity the necessity has disappeared. Some hundreds of men were employed in the construction of the canal near the same, town in 1898 to save the contractore from the loss of the forfeit ,meney which had been put up as guarantee that they would finish within a certain time linfit. The Standard Oil Compaey. requires a great deal of work to be done that before its advent to the seat of power in our land was not con- sidered necessary. Certain tanneries, as in Huntsville and Braoebridge, have found it necessary to do a good deal of Sunday work that was not necessary until tbe advent • of certain American managers. Most people will be able to understand that the plea of commercial necessity is simply the desire for increased profits or larger earnings. Are we to admit this plea of commercial neces- sity ? If we admit it anywhere are we not bound to admit it everywhere ? Is there any form of industry, trading, carrying, publishing, manufacturing, that might not be defended in Sunday operation upon the same plea? Are we ready for this yet? Brucelleld. B. R.
