ed Mrs. Shaw as reelected president.
After much demuring she was. fin-
ally _persuaded to accept the office.
The only change in the other officers
was the appointment of Mrs. Martin,
of Exeter, as secretary of literature.
The question of changing the an-
nual meeting, owing to severity of
weather and bade roads, interfering
With the attendance at this season
of the year, was introduced by Mrs.'
Hamilton, of • Goderich, It was de-
cided unanimously to change the
time and have the annual meeting

Rev. Mr. Shaw brought the greet-
ings from the Presbytery to the Ja-
dies. The Presbytery is pleased at
the increave of funds, showing in-
creased light. The work of the wo-
men is a .stimulus to church work.
Mrs. Agnes Hall, of Roekwood,
spoke to 1 he ladies on " Slitisionary
effores, a means of spiritual growth."
One important thing is to be swift
in our perception, to look at conse-
crated women as a stimulu.e The
mother sacrifices herself that her
child may have physical, mental and
moral development. One necessity
is spiritual development. Oa of
Christ we are thine sided. Spiritu-
al development is likened to build -
nee' a temple. Christ's last tiona-
niarid, the key stene• of the arch. God
by ;this keystone developes in us
Christlike qualities. There is a re-
lation between missionary effort and
Christian growth. Alissionarv ef-

The ladies having furnished tea all
guests were invited to refresh thern-
'selves and have a social time.
The Evening Meeting.
Rev. Dr. Stewart, of Clinton, con-
ducted the openipg exercises of the
evening session. The musical part
of the pregramene was furnished by
.tbe choir of Willis church and con-
sisted of well rendered anthems,
and a quartette supg by the Misses
Goodwin and L. Coats and Messrs
Chown and Cook. Miss Gardiner, of
Pa.yfield, the - society's delegate to 1
- the -annual meeting of the general
society held in Guelph in May last,
gave a very interesting- account of
I the convention. Five hundred dee-
gates were present. Auxiliaries'

ciety by its Auxiliaries and Mission
Bands raised nearly $54,000. Total

been made even worse since then.
The railway authorities have made
the most praiseworthy efforts to
keep their roads open and to get
their passengers through with as lit-
tle delay as possible, but the storms
have been too much for them. The
same condition exists pretty much
, all through Western Ontario. But,
there is this consolation, that when
things come to the worst they must
mend. The despatch says:,
Sixty-two people spent Saturday
night on a train stuck in a big
driftone mile. from Clinton, and
were still there on Monday with no
immerlia.te prospects of getting out.
They were all passengers for Owen
Sound, Southampton, and points
north. Owing to the read between
Stratford and Listowel being blocked
the Grand Trunk was anxious to get
these people home for Saturday ev-
ening, and sent the train with three
engines via Clinton and Wingham
Junction to Palmerston, but after
starting out a storm of the great-
est severity commented, with the re-
sult that at 2 o'clock in the.morning
they were stuck fast within half a
mile of Clinton.. With no water the
engines soon played out, and the
three engines had to be taken to
Goderich for water.

the belated passengers, and at day-
light, Sunday, had them ell conveyed
to the different hotels. Every com-
fort was provided for them at the
Grand Trunk Railway's expense.
Among the passengers were a wed-
ding couple of Walkerton. The crew
was completely played out. Some of
the men had been fourty-eight hours
without sleep. With such weather
it is physioally irapossible to run
trains on time. Trainmaster, agents
and, operators are being overworked..
If achange in the weather does not
soon take place it will be difficult
to operate the road. The cuts are
so high it is nearly impossible to
clear them of snow. The storm of
Saturday evening and all day Sunday
was the greatest in severity in the
recollection of the oldest inhabit-
ants. ,
Hard on Stock.
One of the '-worst features of the

ungodly and unprincipled men as

Politics should not be dirty, but

say they are, then, I think,the christ-
ian people base themselves; to blame,
in part, for such a sad stete of af-
fairs. And it is high time for us to
repent and bring forth fruits of
righteousness, by going to work
promptly, wisely and earnestly along
the lines 1 have indicated ; and now
is the time to act.
