The different speakers- were very earnest and set forth the prime essentials of individual church and) matrimonial life. Rev. Dr. Larkin gave an able address in this connection in the First Presby- terian church on Sabbath morning, while Mr. John Pattersen, K. C., of Toronto, a prominent layman of the Presbyterian church and an excellent speaker, occupied the pulpit in the evening and spake on the financial ide of the Forward Movement. There re_300,000 members connected with the Presbyterian church in Canada and the amount required to extend the work both at home and in foreign lande is $3,600,000, an average of $12 per member. The present average only reaches the paltry sum of five, cents per week per, member, the price of a cigar or a picture show which "tows that church members, as a whole do not realize their opportunity and responsibility in regard to the world's evangelization but are spending money that should be coesecrated to God's service selfishly upon themselves, Millions for inotots and mites for missions. The speaker explained that this is a small slant for a wealthy church like the Presbyterian church to raise. The United States had far exceeded that ameunt. If God, he said, were to prosper us in accerdance with our gifts, we would hatTe the sherriff in to sell us, out. This pract- ical address concluded the series of inspirational meetings in connection with the Forward MOvement which has continued during the past eight days. Mrs. J. G.
