There is arroad in this life that is known as chance, and
-
many are they who travel therein, which- we say is all
well enough if you have the necessarycapital and can
afford at all times t� take a chance.
We, however, are not o)d enoigh, foolish enough, or un-
limitedly ricli enough, t walk in the way of the
chanceful. Veare compelled by the forces of our
own reason 4id insight to walk rn the way of hard
work.

Hard honest work, combined with a ,more than ordinary
knowledge of our business—the men's and boys' cloth-
ing in all its bratches—has enabled us to carry on sa
most successful business, Hard work has had a great
deal to do !with it. If trade was dull there was no
false dreams about, we siimply hustled for trade.
In the same manner we are after trade this -Spring, and the
likelihood is that we will obtain a goodly share of
trade. In men's and boys' readynaade suits, in order-
ed suits, in new fancy shirts, in all lines of furnishings.
collars, cuffs, ties, hats, losiery, belts and braces'the
new things in dress gloves, in fact all lines of these
goods will be well represented in. our stock
We will only quote a very few prices, as there is not room for
many. A work -a -day, suit of clothes, and a suit that
will wear well, we sell at $4.75. A pair of pants for
the man who wins by work we sell in three qualitfes,
each quality being pri4ed respectively $1, $1.26 and
$1.50. Of course, we.ha+e higher priced trousers than
this, but these are at least great wearers.
Wheie we interest many is the 8tlitS that we make to order
at $15, 816.50 and -$18. 'There is • honest work put
into the make of the suitsi. An old Irishman said, the
other day that he never 'looked' to get nothing for
nothing. What he meant was, that one need not look
for something for'nothing. ' Its wise not to. You will
be fooled if you do. Whatever it be you seek in life,
always be willing to pay the price, provided you get a
good article. If you ha,43 not the _price, jea,ve the
article you desire alone until you have.
There's that odd lot of underjive4r that we are selling at 45c ;
the boys' long stockin4 at 15c, 25e, 35e and 50e, each
value at their price.
We say that we have the best value in overalls in the West,
-possibly not anywher can you see what we are show-
ing at 50c, 750 and $1 Smocks at the same price.
We are well satisfied that there is no better value in the
ket than our own mak of boys' pants at125e, 50c
and 75c.

We speak with equal confidence of our own 'make of men's
suits at $8 and $10,
l‘fareh is rather late to talk bout furs. We have onliy to
state that if there are ten men among our readers who
will buy a fur ,coat, if hey get it at a right price, they
will buy. Then we at the present moment can sell
just that number. That is all that we have out of the

largest stock we ever ciarried, and the most slice ssful

The Liberal Co vention, for the South

are not mere winners of h4iman bodies to the
sanctuary ; you are to be I inners of souls to
the Saviour. If your efforts this year do
not turn some immortal s tila from hell to-

disciplesinto a stronger a d holier life, then
they will be a most -I mentable failure.
Solemnly determine tha with the Holy

interests himself in every ody, down to the

hold a good Sunday co gregation. Keep
Jesus Christ in your pulpit ; let him "lifted

In the earlier days of merican Method•
ism. preachers did thei own preaching.
Such men as Hedding, Ba om and Wakeley
never thought of sending off for an "even -
gelid." They would soo er renpunce their
office than admit that th y could not pro-
claim the gospel in such a way as to save
sinners and edify believer , Sow your own
gospel seed this year, well steeped in prayer,
and reap your own liar eat. Put the re-

Ohi jeatb
xort you,not to be caughb by the cur-
rent delusion that this " dvanoed age" re-
quires entirely new meth de and a new style
of preaching, and what is absurdly called
an"up-to-date gospel." This age of ours,
with all its mighty mec apical inventions,
and its increasing Mamm n worship, has not
advanced one single inch beyond the indis-
pensable need of the atonng blood of Jesus,
and the converting powe of the Holy Spirit.
All the telegraphs and t e telephones and
all the universities, w th their boasted
achievements in scholar hip, have not yet
outlawed Calvary and entecost. Human
nature has not changed human sintulness
and sorrovets have not ch ged ; the Word of
God has not changed; 4ie Holy Spirit has
not changed; the prect as promisee have
not changed ; and what I fallen man needed
to lift him Godward nineteen centuries ago
he needs to -day. Stick • to the old gospel.
• When God gives you an ther preaoh it, but
not before. Don't wa te your breath in
defending your Bible; i is eelf-evidenoing.
Your commission is, " reach the Word,"
and God will take care o it.
One very probable rest on why conversions
have so lamentably decre sed of late in your
own and in other evangelical denominations
is that there is less direct, pungent, loving
and faithful preaching tO the unconverted.
Jesus Christ came into the world to save
sinners, and unless a ma4 is convicted of sin
and feels his guilt, he is 4iot likely to come
to Christ for salvation. fFoward the close of
his noble Christian cazleer Gladstone re-
marked that one of the vorst symptoms in
this age was "the ge eral decay of the
sense of sinfulness." Th preacher who be-
littles or conceals the gu•It and retributions
of sin is an enemy of so Is ; he will make
but few converts, and th se of a shollow ex-
perience. Tbe first tex of Jesus Christ
was, "Repent ye ; fo the Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand ;" an when Peter boldly

preached repentance and remission of sine
through Christ Jesus three thousand souls
were converted in that one day ! All the
mighty soul winners, the "weight of whose
spear was like a weaver's beam "—the Wes•
leys, the Whitefields, the Finneys, the Ly-
man Beechen, the Spurgeons and the
Moody—have never tried to extinguish
Sinais 'thunders any more than to silence
Calvary's loving invitations. To preach
effectively to the unconverted requires cour-
age, tenderness, wisdom, faith; and a deep
inflowik of the Holy Spirit ; prayer will
give yen all these, my brother, and this year
will bring you a harvest.
Through all its first century in America it
was the peculiar glory of Methodism that
the "common people" heard its ministers
"gladly." It never was the pet religion of
the aristocracy, and never will be. It costs
more labor for you Methodists and us Pres-
byterians to capture one kid -gloved and
lavender millionaire than to convert fifty of
the "working classes '." for if Croesus goes
into any church at all, he is predestinated
to seek one of the high ritualistic pattern.
Oae reason why the census of Methodism in
New York does not show more advance is
that the glorious old type of religion that
once prayed and preached, wept and shouted
in old John Street and Vestry Street and
Forsyth Street is not more prevalent. While
reaching up after the cultured classes I en-
treat you don't neglect what Abraham Lin-
coln called the "plain people." Johe
Wesley'e bones will rattle their protest if
you do.
Suffer me, my dear brethren, to offer one
more euggestion, and in no captious spirit.
One of the masterpieces of Wesley's marvel-
lous polity is the class meeting. That is
about a fair spiritual thermometer in any of
your churches. When the class rooms get
below zero it marks an awful frigidity every-
where 1 Class meetings up to bloodheat
will send a spiritual power through your
whole working machinery ; and with God'a
help .every preacher can contribute mightily
to the engendering of that vital warmth.
Don't mistake or misapprehend there
frank words of exhortation, I beg you; they
are the truth, spoken in love. To your great
church and to mine God has eommitted a
tremendous responsibility for the salvation
of our beloved country.
, Past mistakes as well as past suceesses
teach their lessons. Begin your year's work
with a fresh and sincere self -consecration.
Take the only Bible Gd has given you, or
ever will give, and preach it as if you heard
the surges of eternity break against our
ohurch walls. Throw yourself into every
line of practi a1 love -labor, kindle your
church by your contagious enthusiasm, and
make this the 1 est year of your whole lives.

Huron Spring Assizes.
The assize court for the county of Huron
was held in Goderich last week, His Lord-
ship, Mr. Jastice Lount presiding. The
following composed the grand jury:
Henry Cluff, Ashfield; D. A. Forrester,
Clinton ; B. B. Gunn, Seaforth ; Peter
Hastings, Turnberry : George Murdie, Mc-
Killop; James A. McIntosh, Goderich • R.
Robertson, Usborne ; Charles Stewart, Ash-
field ; J. A.E3. Varcoe, Colborne, and John
Weismiller, Hensel'.
His Lordship having received the cus-
tomary pair of gloves to show that there
were no criminal offences before the court,
addressed the grand jury panel on their
standing duties, paid a glowing tribute to
the life ot "The Good Queen," and a loyal
testimony to Edward VII., whom His Lord-
ship said had the sixty years of his good
mother's reign to guide him.
This was Mr. justice Lount's first appear:
ance in this county in his capacity as a
judge, and as he was about to call the first
case on the docket, Hon. J. T. Garrow, on
behalf of the bar of the county, presented
a complimentary and congratulatory ad.
dress to His Lordship, to which he made a
brief and suitable reply.
The following are the oases disposed of :
McBride vs. Moore,—This action was for
damages for personal injury while working
on the breakwater works for the defendants.
Ib appears that plaintiff, who is about 18,
was engaged to carty water, and was after-
wards employed on the gravel trucks' and
it was while so employed he fell andwas
injured. The case lasted till 6,30 p. no,

WHAT THE GRAND JURY SAY.
Mr. Varcoe, foreman of the grand jury,
made the following ptesentment
We, the grand jury of the county of
Huron, congratulate you upon your prefer-
ment on being raised to the high and honor-
able position on the bench of the High
Court of Ontario. We trust that you may
long be spared to add lustre to the high and
honorable position attained by you, and to
deal out even-handed justice to all litigants
who may come before you.
We thank you for the high tribute of
prelim paid to the memory of our late be-
loved Rove eign, Queen Victoria, and also
the expressions of loyalty to His most
gracious Majesty King Edward VII.
It was with pleasute we witnessed the
time hono ed custom of the sheriff present-
ing you wi h a pair of white kid gloves,
indicative, we presume, of the high moral
standard a d law-abiding principles of the
people of t is great county of Huron.
We visi ed the jail and found it exceed-
ingly clean, well kept and well ventilated.
The prison :rs, ten in number, made no
complaints Seven of the number we were
sorry to se confined there, they not being
guilty of a y offence, but were partially in-
sane, and ere confined for safe keeping,
and we tru t that they will soon be removed
to a more tting place for treatment.
We deei e also to draw your attention to
the fact th t we, the grand jurors of this
court, dect the quartere occupied by° the
jailor enti ely unfit for the purpose for
which the are used, the family having to
mix with nd pass among the prisoners
daily in pa sing in and out of their private
apartment, and it also being very damp.

We tern Dairy School.
DEAR Ex ORTOR,—After spending a short
term at t e Western Dairy School, and
having at 1 ast acquired a knoweledge of the
managemcnjt of the school, I thought a few
words relat ve to the same might not come
amiss to th many readers of your justly ap-
preciated p per, for I have reason for atat-
ing that th4 popularity of THE Hums Ex-
POSITOR is njoti limited to the boundaries of
good old Ef4zron county, or even the Prov-
ince of Ont rio. But, for the present, it is
to the Wee ern Dairy School and ite man-
agement th4t we purpose to devote our at-
tention. c school is sheeted in the beau-
tiful town f Stratbroy, which, in conjunc-
tion with t e surrounding townships, boasts
of sending ut into the world some of Can-
ada's most brilliant men, notably, Hon. G.
W. Ross, Hon. Edward !Blake, Hon. C.
Sifton, an Dr. Montague for some time
trained the young idea to ehoot, out in one
of the rural schools. But again I transgress.
The Gover ment were particularly foram-
, ate in secur ng a site so admirably fitted for
the purpos The building is fitted with all
modern im Krovements, regoisite for an up-
to-date fact ry, while for 'comfort the stu-
dents are f rnished with well heated apart-
ments, con aining an abundant supply of
select readi g :natter, whil the toilet rooms
are all tha could be desiijed. The roll is
called at :30 a. m., aftei which lectures
are delivere by the superintendent, one ot
the instruc ors, or on special 'days, by a
speciel lect rer. Lectures; being over, the
varions chi ses repair toi their different
rooms, mil testing, cheese, making, butter
making and cream separating, and I might
just here remark that the strong point in
favor of th Western Deity School is the
essential, p actical work done, over 5,000
pounds of ilk being receieed daily to be
converted i to cheese and bitter. Another
requisite i eisted upon at ; this school is
cleanliness ia every department. The after-
noon is oc upied in lectures discussions, s
judging che e and butter. i Mr. Smith, the -s
superintend nt, and his atonstants render
the student every assistance in their power,
and the pai s they take in explaining the
minutest de ail in evorybrarfch show clearly f
that they h vethe welfare of every student o
;et heart, a d in his selection Mr. Smith
Ilisplayed arked judgment in having the
right men i their right pl+s. Regarding
the heads f the different departments it
would be ntirely out of i place to .par-
ticularize, a I might just say, with George
Goodhand as separator inetructdr, F. R. a
Herne as test instructor, John Brodie on
oheesernaking, Jainee Bristow on butter
making, and Mies Miller, of Guelph, in the
home dairy depsrtment, a guarantee is given
that a course at the Western Dairy School
means thoroughness of work. The school
opens on December 2nd, and doses on March
22nd, when an examination is held and -dip-
lomas are granted to competent men—the
demand. for iwhich is unlimited.. Students
are present it this term from different por-
tions of Ontario and Quebec, showing that -
the popularity of this school is gradually
spreading.
I am sorry to say a serious lack of inter-
est is manifeSted by the young ladies, with
regard to the home dairy department, as
only a very limited number avail thenutelves
of the Opportnnity of acquiring a knowledge
of this now leery important branch of Indus.
try, though Mies ; Miller is untiring in her
endeavors to create a much larger interest in
her departtnent, but the cloud always comes
before the eunshine. Another important
feature in connection with the school is the
general meeting held once a month, when
the public are invited to listen to in-
teresting diecussions relative to the farm,
withspeaker of varied experiences, and I
was surprised at the numbers who attended
the February meeting, on prabably the
most inclement day of the winter. Thank-
ing you for apace.
Yours, etc.,
STUDENT.
