A CAPITAL Sentroft.-It is a fact be-
yond dispute that the -members of the
Presbyterian church receive from Sab-
bath to Sabbath some of the most able
and effective sermons that are delivered
In this section of the country, owing, no
doubt, to the ability and nntiring-efforts
a the Rev. A. McLean. On Sunday
'horning, the 24th ult., the rev. gentle-
man 'overstepped the bounds of the
eerily generally, and took up a subjecti'
which, at the present time, s greatly
agitating the nalitioal horizon, viz:,
Woman's Suffrage," taking for his
_ • text/ Numbers 27, clap. 1-4 vs. In the
outset the rev. speaker ssid : Some peo-
• ple Imagine that a Minister of the Gospel
ought not to meddle with such subjects
as the melte was now presenting, but
he thought it wee the duty of every
feithful minister to speak on every sub -
dot that concerned his congregation.-
.. Continuing, he said :„ Never in the his-
tory of the world did woman play snob
an important part as she does at yie
present. New walks- of life are opening
rw for her an easy hand, all of which she
is filling with the utmost satisfaction.
A few years ago it was considered& bold.
forward act for a • woman to offer her
services forthe Foreign Mission' field, or
even as * Sunday &hod teacher, but
now she booming to the front in both
church and state; .taking hold of, and
doing a work which the opposite sex
could never \ accomplish. He was glad
sthatthe queition of- Woman's Sufferage
was not a party question, as he believed
that the Premier of the Dominion as
well as the leader of the Ontario Gov-
ernment were in favor of it, "but,"
said he, "we should, not he led by
Premier), but by - the Word of God,'
and *pointed out mos6 clearly the view
the Bible took on this matter. The rev.
gentlemsm then divided his subject into
two parts: 1. Is it right for women' to
• vote? 2. Is it expedient? One of the
_ principal reasons given in answer to the
first question was that "Possession
• plias responsibility," and he distinctly.
• showedthat woman should have a vote
in order Us' izroteot her pcissessions.
Under the second head, namely, "Is it
ex
'ant?" he said. Soule people
thlrm that the home would,be neglected
if women had the use of the ' franohbie.
6' This," he said, "was mere prejudice."
The same part of the community would
strongly object to women taking the
platform or conducting a female prayer-
roeeting, but would not in the lout 'ob-
ject to a ball,.at which women would ap-
pear in attire not calculated in the least
degree to, elevate the moral standing of,
the population, and who were certainly
not in a position .the following day to
regulate their household duties.. Home,
'he said, Was one of the greatest blessings
in the world,aqd he hoped that Christians ,
, would frown on anything that hada ten-
• dency to ruin it, but in -his opinion one,
ef the hest methods of protecting our,
• homes and our boys was by allowing the
mothers to vote. He further stated that
- 'a woman Might attend prayer meetings
all day, and if she neglected the duties
• - shi owed to her home she was breaking.
to a serious degree the "Commandments
• of God. He believed that women - were
readyto exercise self-denial more thaki
men, 'and cited several instances to prove
the same. -Concluding he said: . The
- world requires all the good influence,
possible. Women have their part. in
this noble work, and they are ready to;
takeboId of it as well ft men. By no
possible means can men obtain aftis-• •
• fizion to the Zananas offindiatand of neoes-
sity woman would have to accomplish
it. He said bethought it would be one
of the greatest blessings ever showered
over the fair Dominion if women had the.
privilege of using the franchise, and if
the privilege was , extended to them he-
, was certain every woman -would exercise
it for the good of God, Home and
Humanity. . - •
'able to lifeIn the country." ThaidErm-
ative was upheld by C. Miehie,St Irvine(
and J. Michie. The negative by M.
'Meek, Geo. Armstrong and T. McLen-
nan. -• P. Kelly and Wm. Scott occupied
the position of chairman and vice-chalr-
-man to decide, and after hearing the
discussion gave their decisionin favor of
the negative by three p ointa. It was
decide d to open the meetings age* (D.
• V.) on Friday evening, the 1st of
• November next, at 7.80 o'cloek.
NOTE. --I am pleased to learn from
your "Belgravt correspondent that Mr-
_Deuwd wa5 successful in revivint'the
temperance lodge in that village.But I
wonder very much at your correspon-
dent saying that other meetings as well
as those described by Paul _Pry take in
Beigrave, when he admits that they had .
tobave Mr. Douwd to '..revive the tem-
perance sentiment which was apparently
dying out, as it seems to have done
here. But now that the temperance
work has once more been revived' by
Mr.-Do:ma it is my earnest hope and
desire that the people of "Belgrave will
carry out the good work set before them,
and may they have as large and as
enthusiastic meetings -as those described
lzy Paul Pry.. Your correspondent from
Belgrave.also stated: that they had an •
evening's entertainment from Grip,and
that I misted grand. sight because I
was not there to see him draw Paul Pry's
portrait. No doubt -the people of Bel -
grave would inks to have had me and
my friends from here at their entertain -
meat for the sake of getting our 25 oents,
_and no doubt • they would have had us
there had it not been that they held
their 26 cent show on the same night as
our literary meeting, and for that reason
the people of this Vicinity, and myself,
could not attend., But as we can see
Pani Pry as large as life, and just as'
flaturaltany day, all we really missed
was to see: that noted _artist draw' the
portrait of that wonderful • man who
writesso ably.- Hoping that the people •
of Belgrave inajhave many jolly, -even-

0013, 80/190L. -At Gorrie, on Friday,
March .22nd, a very successful '13ublie
school examination was -held. The ex.
amination of the junior department be-
gan at 9 o'clock, and was conducted by
Miss Keine, the teacher of the depart--
ment ; Mr. Campbell, the principal-, and
Mr. Greer, a visiting teacher from No..
.18, Rossi*. This part Of the examina-
tion closedat 10.30 a. m., and the child;
ren of the: department had distributed
nmong them in paper bags the good
things the ladies had provided for -them,
and thereafter a bountiful supply •of
Candies, the 'sift of Mr. Leech, to the
children. The examination of the senior
department began At 11 a. m.. and with
the interruption of a noon intermisdion
when justice was done to the rioh repast
spread by the ladies, it continued till 5
p. in. The visiting teacher* who assist-
ed in exainining the school were Messrs.
• Greer, Hamilton, Iraine, Spotten, Vat-
ters and Muir. The trusteee and resi-
dent clergymen were all Fount, and
over a hundred Of, the parents and
friends of the scholars. The tasteful
decor:Akins reflected credit on the teach -
:ere anctpupils. The slate work of the
• pupils walf,reinarkable for neatness,, and
visiting teachers, who assigned the work
reported very high percentages taken by
the pupils. - The fullness of the answers
Was a noticeable feature in the oral ex• -
etc:lees, showing that besides being well -
versed in the subjects in •which they
were examined the .pupils had a -ready
command , of' language. `Many short,
vigorous speeches were given at the close
of the examination. The clergymen
struck the key -note, viz., supreme satis-
faction with the condition- of the school.
The purport of the speeches- was; not to
flatter, but, bra just and hearty -oom-
,inendation of their efforts, - to give
encouragement to the hard-working and
painstaking teachers • and ' pupils • of
orrie Pub o School,

- Debating Society held their lest meet-
ing for this season on last Friday even-
ing, and despite the almost impassable
state of the roads there was a fair'
attendance of members, thus showing.
that the interest taken in the zneeting
at the beginning has been carried,
• through to the end. About 8 o'clock '
the President (Mr. Black) called the
meeting- to order. The Secretary read
the minutes of the previous meeting, .
and also the financial report of the So-
ciety, which showed the total receipts to
be $26.80 and the expenditure $12.20,
leaving it- balance on hand of $14.60.
The minutes and the report were adopt-
ed as correct. It was decided: to give
Win. Miller $3.00 to recompense him
for taking care of horses and belongings
of parties who attended the mecstin of
erl
- the Society during the winter, an ' to
expend the balance of the mony on
hand in purchasing a bell for the school
of this section. The programme was

Live Stook for Turnberry.
' DEAR EXPOSITOR. - Several weeks:
ago we had the pleasure of having Mr. :
Lawrence Lovell, of . Wroxeter, Huron
County, spend a day with us. Mr.
Lovell is one of Turnberry's most ener-
getic and, enterprising farmers. He has
for years past been striving to improve
his stitilk by using pure- breci..nres.
Though having failed in the obfeet
sought, he is not discouraged; and again
ventures, and we hope that he may this
time be suCcessful and accomplish his
object, viz: the improvement of the
dairy stook. - •
- While hers Mr. Lovell selected one
of our fineW young Holstein Friesian
bulls, acting ,on -1 the __principle that
the best is the cheapest. This animal
is of more than ordinary merit. He is
sired by our grand bull " Barnton,"
winner of first prize and slight sitedal
for best bull any age at the Proiincial
Fair, 1880. • Dudley Miller, Require, of
Oswego, New York, the expert Judge,
pronounced Bartiten ", one of the best
bulls of the breed in America. If fat
hia weightwould exceed MOO peunds.
For dam, the young bull has Diploma,
a first prize winner at, our Munty
show. -He is the -finest two-year-old
we hay. ever seen. He is out 61 our
noted co*: " Sykje," winner of first .
-prize and Diploma for best female any
age, at the Provincial in 1886. . By
appearance this young bull- will be as
large and fine as his noted Amadora,
and we believe ib, is worth a , dayel
travel to see him. We hope that
the Turnberry farmers will appreciate
Mr. Lovell's enterprise and benefit
through it by_supporting him; ,

RIEPORT•
In again meeting the Shereholders at our ,an--
nuil gathering it is a pleasure to the Directors
to be able to report another year ofapid growth
and continued' and Inoreasingprosperity.
During the year we received 2,456 applications
for $8,89e,488.56 of life assurance, besides 1,279
'for $2,820,900.04 accident. Of the* we accepted
2,255 for $3,030,515.99 in the life branch and
1,269 for $2,194,400.00 in the accident, and poli-
cies were issued therefor. The total applicatjons
for new assurances were thus 8,785 ,for
ti,217,383.50, an exceedingly satisfootory shim-

- The total income was 2525,278.58. This. ie I by

that the total is considerably less than the ' lor-

As will be seen by the annexed statements; the
income exceeded the expenditure by 11287,681 58,
which ts a handsome sum to set .aside from the-
transactionsof the year. The total resouroe at
the end of the year were almost, $2,4100,000,And

year. Both the organization and its agents are
to be congratulated on such magnificent result'.
It means thatove had on an average about $20,-
000 every working day the year round. I have
briefly advertiied to " the competition -from
American companiet. It is remarkable that not
one British or Canadian life company can do
business in the United States, and yet our laws
allOw their companies to freely compete with •
our horns companies,. I heartily coins:Ade with
my friend, • the Hon. Alexander , Mackenzie, iu
thinking that our Wealthy citizens would do bet-
ter by patronizing ettr home institutions. I am
sure in regard to multi theymay go abroad
and find less than can be had at their own doors.
I -wish I could strongly impress upon the 'nor.'
Ing public that oushome companies, as regards
security and every other Medial, are at least
equal to foreign cOmpaniee, while it should be
more convenient and more agreeable to every
loyal Canadian to be actively helping to build up
our home instItutione.
; Mr. James. Tooker seconded' the adoplion of
the report. He said he had great pleasure in
doing so, having watehed the progress of the
Company, and found it -rapid- and substantial.

Mr. W. J. Withalf then proposed, secionded by
Mr. A. Macpherson, thanks -to the Managing Di-
rector, Office Staff; Medical Referee, Solicitor,
Notary, and Afoul*. • .
Mr, R. MacAulay, the. Managing Director, said
the statement of business done was a very satis-
factory one. The progress was general,' being
very noticeable in every department. The Com-
pany is well established In pubiic confidence,
and the progress will be much morarapid in the
future. Should this year's crops be good and
the trade of the country prosperous, he felt MN .
•there would be a yet greater improvement in the
Company's businesifor 1889. While the cash
'Income had largely increased the expense ratio.
had decreased fully 3 per. cent. • These facts
oould not fail tagive satisfaction. Every branch
was being earefully watched civet. Dr. Wilkins
continuer,•with his well-known ability, to *pert
vise the medical department. Mr. Selkirk Croat,
se legal counsel, and Mr. O. Cashing, as notary,
are indefatigable in their attention to the invest -
manta, and the actuary and office staff have his
unqualified confidence in the discharge of _their
duties. The Agents deserved morettan a pals -
Ing Word of thanks -all had done well, and it
„was a pleasure to himself and reflected credit on
.the Company to have such a staff_ in its employ.
- Mr. T. B. Macaulay, Actuary, drew attention
to the great progress which Canadian life com-
panies are making in the•Dominion. .

ment blue book* is instructive •

Thli shows that Canadians are appreciating
more theroughly every year the advantages of-
lered by their own institutions and patronizing
them more generally. The fact that the Com-
-pany receive the 'Mutually high rate of 6.14 per
cent. interest on all its rearmed assets ,is strik-
ing, and if the profits made on sales of bonds be
Included the rate would be raised 56 6.65 per
bent., a very remarkable showing in these days.
,The matter .is a very important one for assurers,
as the profits they receive depend largely on the
rate of interest realized by '-the -Company. An
Institution earning -6 per cent. has a great ad-
vantage over one -earning only al per cent.
• The retiring Directors were re•eleoted' by -ac-
clemation, and at a subsequent meeting of the
BoardMesers. Thomas Workman and Senator
Ogilvie Werere-elected President and Vice -Presi-
dent respectively.
