We unintentionally. made a mistake
in a recent issue of our notes regarding
the school Mr. Myles Scott attended in
Toronto. We stated it was the Conser-
vatory of Music in Toronto; that he had
attended, but learn from himself that it
was another musical. institution.
Halladay's ten days Shoe Sale was a
-decided success. Every one came and
purchased, so that financially it was in
advance of his expectations. The Con-
-:cert on Thursday evening was a success.
The old I.O.G.T. had is always crowded
schen a. concert is announced and Thurs-
day night was a repetition of the same.
Some of those who were billed were un-
able to attend, bat the Holladay family
of
are, with a little assistance, cap
able rendering a concert. The reciters
Messrs, Gardner and Carlton proved to
te elocutionists of no mean degree, and
Mr. D. Harkness's"yarn" made some of
the Patrons laugh, while we are told
others scowled. The whole thing
passed off nicely. Doubtless all who
. were present enjoyed the performance.
Some were there—we are not sure why
—who had not been to a concert "for a
long time now,"

An Incident In The Talmage Family.
Speaking .of the power of family
prayer, in a sermon recently, Rev. T.
De Witt Talmage said
:—
There was in my ancestral line an in-
cident so strangely impressive that it
seems more like romance than reality.
It has sometin es been so inaccurately
put forth that I now give you the true
incident. My grandfather and grand-
mother, living at Somerville' N.J., went
to Basking Bridge to witness a revival
under the ministry of Rev. Dr. Finley.
They came home so irupressed with
what they had seen that they resolved
on the salvation of their children.
The young people of the house were
to go off for an evening party, and my
grandmother said
"Now, when you are all ready for the
party, come to my room for I have
something very important to tell you."
All ready for departure, they came to
her room, and she said to them :—"Now
I want you to remember, while you are
away this - evening, that I am all the
time in this room praying for your sal-
vation, and I shall not cease praying un-
til you get back." The young people
went to the party, but amid the loudest
hilarities of the - night they could not
forget that their mother was praying
for them.
The next day my grandparents heard
an outcry in an adjoining room, and
they went iu and found their daughter
imploring the salvation of the gospel.
The daughter told them that her broth-
ers were at the barn and at the wagon -
house under powerful conviction of sin.
They went to the barn. They,.,. found
my uncle Jehiah, who afterward be
came -a minister of the gospel, crying. to
God for mercy. They went to the wag-
on house. They found their son David,
who afterward became my father, im-
ploring God's pardon and mercy. Be-
fore a great while ; the whole family.
were ..saved, and David went, and told
the story to a young woman to whom
he was affianced, who, as a result of the
story, became a Christian, and from her
own lips—my mother's -4 have re-
ceived the incident.
The story of hat converted house-
hold ran through all the neighborhood,
from family to family, until' the whole
region was overwhelmed with religious
awakening, and at the- next communion
in the village church at Somerville over
200 souls stood up to profess the faith
of the gospel. My mother carrying the
memory of this scene from early woman-
hood into further life, in after years
was resolved upon the salvation of her
children, and for many years every
week she met three other Christian
mothers to pray for the salvation of
their families. I think that all the
members of those families were saved
—myself the youngest and the last.
There were 12 of us children. I trace
the whole line of mercy back to that
hoar when my Christian grandmother
sat in her room imploring the blessing
of God upon her children. Nine of her
descendants became preachersofthe
gospel. Many of her descendants are
in heaven, many of them still in the
Ohristian conflict. Did it pay for her
to spend the whole evening . in prayer
for her household ? Ask her before the
throne of God surrounded by her child-
ren. In the presence of the Christian
church to -day I make this record of an-
cestral piety. Oh, there - is a beauty
and a tenderness and a sublimity in
family religion ! -
Do you wish to save money ?
Do you wish to save labor ? -
Do you wish to beautify your homes ?
Do you wish to make your fellow mortals happy ?
All of which .;an be accomplished by examining and buy-
