Everywhere his reception has been the same. The tour of Nova Scotia ended with Hon. Ma. King feeling in high spirits. At all points in that Province he has been greeted by thousands of people, many of his au- diences had been Conservatives who realized that the time had came for a change, and everywhere the bril- liant young leader left a wonderful impression behind him. Premier Meighen and his pilgrims have been doing •their little beet to stem the tide which is sweeping over the Eastern Provinces, carrying their coma:mien of harsh 'language into the cities down by the sea. But Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have given assurance that when the votes are counted on December 6th, these twn Provinces will be almost net quite sadly Liberal. In Nova Scotia a Conservative esti- mate of the Liberal members who will be returned, :place them at 12. Prince Edward Island has four mem- bers, and the indications are that four Liberals will be sent to Ottawa, though the Government forces are attempting to split the vote against them. by introducing Farmers in the field wherever possible. Government supporters themselves talk of only one seat as a possibility for them on the Leland, and they are not too con- fident of that. Premier Meighen is com• ing forth as a prophet, and his prophecies give every indication of being borne out by returns on election day. The first Prinfe Minister of Canada declares that the party which is spreading a campaign of misrepresentation in the lttaritime Provinces will find itself, on election day, snowed under. That is what the people down there claim al- so, .but they make it more definite and name the Government as the party which is spreading the cam- paign of misrepresentation. Tho Prime Minister is getting a good hearing in the Provinces. but as us- ual, is repelling many of his 'hearers .by exaggerations and vituperation, while on the other hand, the Liberal chief is gaining new friends every day by his fairness in dealing with the problems of the day and outlin- ing the needs of Canada in the fu- ture. A significant omen of victory was brought about last week. Previous to the election of 11396, which result- ed in the return of the Laurier ad- ministration and the dawn nf the Golden Era of prosperity for Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier was in Charlot- tetown addressing a meeting when the word was brought to him that the date of the election had been decided. On Friday night of last week, Hon. Marke°rzie King was in Charlottetown when the word was brought to him that the election would take place on 'Tuesday, December 6th. To carry the •narallel further, it was pointed out that previous to the elec- tion of 189A conditions were very bad in the Derninion. Business was stag- nant and the people were in a state of unrest after several years of Tory rule. Then came the elections with the return of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as Premier. and the 'beginning of fifteen years of .prosperity for the country. Mr. King received the news in Char- lottetown as a happy omen for vict- ory. Coming- as it did on the top of imany other indications that the twi- light of the Meighen Government hid approached, it might well be looked unen A such. It is perhaps significant of the truth of the alleged change in govern - anent to notice that the men whn handed out the announcement of the election date and the men who hand- ed out the manifesto at Ottawa, were 'Senators Reid and Calder. Anperent- ' dye though. Hon. John Doweley Reid, of Prescott, has retired from the Gee- • ernment, he and Mr. Calder are still of it. Apparently they are to earn their senatorial emoluments by hand- ling elections for the young Premier, and, of course, to be nn hand to vote down anything in the Senate which Mr. Meighen does siot want to pass. One of the crnestions of the day • down in the Maritime Provinces is d'"Who are the -new -Ministers?" No- apparenbly heard of them, and .neen Quebec people who hapnen lie'down there, are unable to give the at:' Wittig any information. Nobody Megan.. Belleym Monty or ittorbrand and after another two • nobody will ever hear of them * 11 ' 'rite Minister has had - froth his Halifax Mt Velia,dinagreed with SY , to liet ' li hie auth- ./ ' le: tithin'elbut -a ref' -btee ,PITMTIMM' linittkentlnlitt lettane,' hien; fed, the frenitedaseeesions of, the ,probleme of the day and the able manner in which they bath out- lined them and the „remedies neces- snry,to Meet them. •"We , are not'Free Tradere," Mr. King hes declared, in many of his speeches, "hut we are freer traders." We "dive that *e basic industries of 'this country must be developed, and that in order to develop these there must be a revision of tbe tariff, which would make the implements and instruments of production bear the least possible burden. And the necessaries of life must also be re- lieved, so far as possible, from con- tributing. The tariff merit remain; no man would dare suggest that we do away with a tariff in Canada; but it should be reviaed. If you leave that revis- ion in the hands Qf Mr. Meighen it will be revised in -Use interests of that small but powerful coterie of manu- facturers who are now dictating the Government's course of action. If you elect the Liberal party to ornate you will have revision. of the tariff in the interests of the. home and its needs, and you will further have the strictest economy and retrenchment in public expenditures, with a saving of every dollar of the people's money which can be sieved, and a careful accounting to the people for all mon- ey spent. "The choice is yours," the Libersi leader warned his audiences. "It is for you to say whether you want e- conomy or continued ektravagence; whether you want freedom and re- presentative government or continued arbitrary actions by the Meighen Government; whether you wish to continue in office an autocracy or get hack to proper .principles of govern- ment of the people for the people and by the people. At the conclusion of his tour of the Maritime Provinces with the four meetings in New Brunswick, the Lib- eral leader will return to Ottawa for a coreele of weeks, probably address- ing several meetings in Ontario. Then he wi'l rro West for a fortnight ,r^ so, it is expected, and spend the ILst ti eaeks of the campaign peva:Ming the gospel of Liberalism and unity in Ontario and Quebec. Reports from all sections of the country are most encouraging. An array of splendid candidates are be- ing placed in the field in all parts of the Dominion and the men al- ready nominated are such as to en- sure that when the Liberal admini- stration is returned to office in De- cember, as it promises to ,be, there will be wiehin its ranks the material for a tcabinet of first-class business men. competent to handle the affairs of the Dominion, 'rather than, as at present, a cabinet made up of men who "came in looking for the title and had nowhere else to go."

Nett the other day in con- versation with the News -Record„ "winter set in on October 18th. The snow was piled high over Vhe fences all winter and spring work did not commence until about April 20th the following year." That seemed ra- ther discouraging to young settlers, no doubt On making same such re- mark to Mr. Nott and suggesting that he must have felt like gdtting out of the country, his reply was, "Oh, we had no Money to take us anywhers else. We were iglad to .be able fb held on." And iso many of the set - tiers did "hold on." in •the face of discouragernents until they made this country what it is to -day.

CENTRALIA Corner Stone Laid.—The laying of the corner stone of the new Methodist Church at Centralia on October 6th was a decided success.

He urged upon those presentethe necessity of loyally supporting the Christian church, pointing out that its teachings were the only means of solving industrial unrest, and the great social problems) Which to -day confront the nation. His address was a masterpiece, leaving a lasting -impression on his hearers.

Sunday, Oc- tober 16th, proved to be an almost ideal autumn Sabbath when one feels like the poet who says: "A frieze on the fair horizon, The infinte tender sky, The ripe rich tint of the corn fields And the wild geese sailing high. And all over upland and lowland The sign of the goldenrod, Some of us call it Autumn, And others call it God. Pastor and people are deeply grate- ful to a loving,Hemenly Father for the gift of such a fine anniversary day and such good roads, making it possible for very large congregations to assemble morning and evening to enjoy the rich spiritual feast of the day. The Rev. Mr. Ferguson, B.A., was the special anniversary preacher and he delivered two fine evangelical inspiring sermons. The choir of 20 voices, under the talented leadership of Mrs. J. B. McLean, with Mrs. Lundy as organist, rendered a soul refreshing service of .praise, whtch was much appreciated. Miss Marg- aret Finlayson rendered a fine solo entitled "My Task” at the morning service and Miss Ettie MacKay sang tit 'the evening service in her usual sweet voice, a solo entitled "Looking Beyond." The special offering of the day amounted to $1133. The •many friends of the congregation from Hills Green, Blake, Hensel], Brueefield, etc., were hospitally entertained in the many fine homes of the congregation. The memory of the day will linger as one of the sweet and blessed mem- ories of life. Monday evening the anniversary concert drew a record mined from far and near. The moon- light added joy and delight to the auto trip. But the great attraction of the evening was Jessie Alexander Roberts, who is well known as Can- ada's greatest entertainer. She won the hearts of old and young and re- sponded most heartily to encore af- ter encore. Her selections revealed great versatility and a wonderful knowledge of human life and aspira- tion. Her ten selections were most appropriate to the anniveraary oc- casions and very few presept will ever forget the story of "Covenanter Days," "Friendly Cup of Tea," "Leg- end of St. Sophie," "The Garden Fairies," and "Registrabion Day." The well known male quartette, of Sea - forth, composed of Messrs. ' Mullen, Israel, McGregor and Beattie, were present to the delight of n111 and completed the programme with ex- cellent quartettes, solos, etc. Mr. DeLaceyi_of Seaforth, presided at the Piano.
