It is reputed that Lord Stanley has resigned his position as Governor Gen_ talc`-A.•.0'rovernor is usually much more ornamental than useful, but Lord Stanley has hardly been either, and the country tvould be money ahead if a successor were not appointed. Lieut. Col. Macpherson, an employee of the Dominion Government, has just retired with a superannuation allow - 7 ance of $2,200 annually. Now we '.would like to hear a single good reason advanced why he should be royally supported in idleness at the expense of the people. • A The actiqn of Hon Mr Tupper, in •suspending`his own deputy for alleged irregularities is commendable, and shows a disposition to pur$e the Civil Service, but the number of irregulari- ties among this class reveals a state of i public morals not very desirable. A "measure of fair reciprocity be- tween the two countries" was a state- ment at the Boston banquet by Mr Laurier that was cheered to the echo. Andthe people o f Canada had a fair opportunity of expressing an opinion, we believe they would cordially en- dorse the sentiment. The number of politicians cropping "up every day who claim to have Sir John A's promise of elevation to the Cabinet, is growing surprisingly large. The late Premier was a good"promiser," no doubt, but Mr Abbottisnot likely to pay any -attention to these promises, and he is wise to follow this course. '.Che 'East Elgin Election trial will probably show what service the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company per- formed for the Conservative party at the last elections, and what the Con- servative leaders promised in exchange; in other words, how Reformers and Conservatives alike are compelled to contribute to Conservative election ex- penses. An item in a Toronto paper says that a deputation from the Milk Dealers' Association waited on the mayor and asked for the imposition of a license -fee of $20 on all milk dealers, with a view to driving out of business the re- tailers of poor milk. It is not the re- tailers of poor milk that the dealers are after, so much as the poor retailers, and once they are out of the way, up goes the price of milk by those remain- ing in. The banquet given in Boston, on 'I,'tiesday evening, to Mr Laurier, was a brilliant affair, and was attended by a very large number. Mr. Laurier spoke more than an hour in English, closing with a brilliant peroration, He •then spoke fifteen minutes in French, Timid the greatest . enthusiasm. His , speech was a masterpiece of diction, and delivered with that eloquence which has made him famous. It was an argument for closer trade relations 'With the United States, such as he al- eways uses,in Canada. We notice that 111011. Mr. Foster hue been invited to attend a similar affair in ono of the lai'geAmerictn cities,and will probably sceptthe invitation. .A,U 1 'U QNA 3r4Q(7AI.;NEWS.' ti Ql>turCu .blulrKtls Rev ixr.

B, Henderson, the able pastor of Bayfield Presbyterian church, Preached Missionary sermons in Willis church on Sunday last. The Young People's Society of On - tail() street church are trying to ar- range for a lecture by Rev J. Edge, to be delivered in a couple of weeks. Rev. H. S. Magee, of Hensall circuit, Rreached in- Ontario St. on Sunday, ev. Mr Galloway preaching" Mission- ary sermons on the Hensall circuit. Mr Magee is a young man of excep- tional ability and promise, and al- though only in his first year is a preacher of much force, and will doubtless do good work for the master. The Sabbath School workers of the Presbyterian church intend holding, on or about the 29th inst., a children's song service, for morning,. afternoon, and evening, with suitable addresses from their popular. pastor, and other local ministers. As the children are in practise for it, they are expecting big collections on that day, for the pur- chasing of books for their librai y, which needs replenishing, and if the Presbye terians keep up their record, they will not bo disappointed. THANKSGIVING. --There was a good attendance at the Union Thanksgiving Service, on Thursday morning, the weather considered. Rev. Mr Shilton conducted the service, Rev. Mr Ayres, of Holmesville, taking part, while the sermon by Rev. Mr Osborne, was from the text "Jesus Christ, the same yester- day, to -day and forever." A union choir furnished the necessary music. The collection, about $27, will be dis- tributed among the poor of town. CONFIRMATION.—The Catholic church was filled on Tuesday morning, to wit- ness the confirmation of about 40 per- sons. Bishop O'Connor, of London, conducted the service, being assisted therein by Dean Murphy, of Irishtown; Father West, of Goderich ; McGee, of Wawanosh ; and Cooke, of Seaforth. The candidates were 22youths, who wore rosettes,15 girls in white,with a wreath of flowers on their heads, and several elderly persons. After the confirma- tion proper Bishop O'Connor delivered an address on this particular rite of the church. QUITE AN HONOR.—Apropos of the "big fee" referred to last week, as re- ceived by Dr. Briggs, for marrying Commodore Vanderbilt. Having read our item, the doctor remarked, "That is absolutely correct, and further, I have been asked by a special deputa- tion, composed of the Bishop in whose conference the University of Nashville is, its President, and others, who wait- ed upon me at the late Ecumenical Conference, to preach their convoca- tion sermon next summer, as the peo- ple of the south are anxious to see the man who married their great benefac- tor, who endowed the University of Nashville with over $2,000,000, to which his son William has since added over half a million." EDUCATIONAL SERVICES.—Notwith- standing the unfavorable weather of Sunday last, large congregations gath- ered in Rattenbury Street Church, both morning and evening, to listen to the addresses of Rev Dr Briggs, of the Book Room, Toronto. That he was able, eloquent and inspiring, to those who know the great preacher, goes without saying. He in turn was delighted with is visit, and expressed himself as reatly surprised at the very able ren- ering of the various pieces of music by the choir, they being, in his opinion, quite equal to that of many of the city churches. The choir indeed did grand- ly, and added another to their many triumphs. Rev. Mr. Shilton made a few remarks from the Educational re- port, in connection with the morning service. The amount secured for the Educational Fund was $51.63, an ad- vance of $10 over last year, while that was $16.41 ahead of the previous one. Hensall. On the evening of Nov. 20th Rev. Mr McDonagh, of Exeter, will deliver a lecture on Temperance, in the Metho- dist church, Hensall, under the auspic- es of the R. T. of T., a treat is expect - from the interesting lecturer. The pastors and congregations of the Episcopalian, Methodist and Pres- byterian churches joined in a Thanks- glvirg service, in the Presbyterian church on Thanksgiving day. The pastors of the several churches deliver- ed short addresses. . NOTES.—The heavy traffic is cutting Main street very badly. The town fathers ought to make provision for either stone or block pavement on Main street. We are told that the shipments at our station equal that of any station between Wingham and London. Mrs (Rev) H. J. Fair gives an "at home," to -night, to which many are looking forward joyfully; particu- lars next week. CONCERT.—The concert in aid of the funds of the Mechanics' Institute was held on Tuesday night. It was fairly, well attended, °considering the stormy' weather, and a success. Hensall has reason to be proud of her Mechanics' Instituto. Every family should have a member's ticket, and use it. $1 is very cheap for the privilege of reading su- perior hooks for a year. The people of the Sexsmith appoint- ment held their annual teameeting on the evening of Thanksgiving day. The ladies of the congregation catered in their usual successful manner to the wants of the multitude so far as the eatables were concerned, and the Revs. Henderson and Irvine,with the pastors Revs. Fairand Magee, together with thellensall choir, provided such a program as entertained and profited all. HOME CIRCLE.—The Order of Home Circles has organized a stirring Circle in Hensall, which meets the fourth Monday in each month. The following officers were elected for the balance of 1891: Mr McArthur banker, Past Lead- er; Rev H. Irvine, Leader; Mr Wesloh, Vice Leader; Mr Foss, Marshall, etc. The Circle has oyer twenty members. Several ladies have joined, as the Circle gives insurance on the lives of women as well as on the lives of men. All who have united seem pleased with the simplicity of the Order, and the cheap- ness of its insurance. During the seven years of its existence, its insurance has only cost the members $14.10 per an- num for $3,000. The cost may increase as the order grows older, but it can afford to, as itsassessment 1s very low. It has only three paid officers in Canada. . IBippen,; i1Sr..Jas.

Only purchasers can guess. The cor- respondent has a faint reccollection of the police inToronto putting a store- keeper in jail for the same thing a year ago; what is the difference be- tween paying for a guess and paying for a lottery ticket, is a problem worth studying in our moral town. HALL OPENING.—The concert in con- nection with opening of the New Hall,on Friday evening last, is reported to have been a decided success. The majority of those announced to take part in the program were present. Mr Doig Was appointed chairman and the concert opened with a speech by J. McMillan, M. P. The program was lengthy, and closed about 12 o'clock. Proceeds be- tween $70 and $80. Exeter. NoTEs.—Mr Rich Horrel is confined to his bed and is in a critical condition, and slight hopes of his recovery are en- tertained. Mr. R. H. Collins has pur- chased from •Mr. J. N. Hooper that large two storey residence situated on James Street, for the sum of $1800. Mr. Wm. Rowtcliffe, London Road, was successful in capturing a coon last week that weighed 35 pounds ; his la- bors have been rewarded since the sea- son began with 28 fine pelts. Mr. R. S. Lang paid Mr. John Dew, Usborne, a few days ago, $314.00 for apples which he had delivered at the Exeter station Messrs. Wood Bros. have purchased from Mr John Southcott that piece of property consisting of three lots, situ- ated on Main street, north of his son William's tailor shop, paying for the same $1800. Constance. NOTES.—Constance is one:of the few villages in Ontario, that can apparent- ly get along without a licensed hotel, as the one destroyed by fire here, has not been replaced, and still we thrive. Mr J. F. Staples, who recently opened out a general store here, has succeeded in working up a good business; he is will known and obliging and sure to do well. Mr Jas Stewart is on the sick list. Doc. McGregor has finished and furnished a neat cottage on his father's farnr,and has this week moved thereto; we welcome Mrs McGregor to our village. Gouerich. FALSE ALAnM.—James Yates has not sold out his Hardware Pusiuess as reported, Old Blonde and new will find him still on hand at his old atand to furnish them with Hardware, and Groceries. and below rricee. VESSELS ASHORE.—A vessel, which was at first supposed to be the schooner Crawford, is anchored a short distance from here with her distress signal fly- ing. The Crawford, tbough; is safe at Port Huron. The sea is too high to al- low any'boat•to approach her. There is also another vessel, dismasted, west' by north twelve miles. Their names are unknown.

Szn,—In your last issue 1 natio a coM- munioption purporting too be a reply to the oon}munioation which appeared in your issue of Oot. 80. Mr Raneford eommenees his letter in aomewhat of a facetious man- nep, as to the oorrespondenoe "which had appeared" in your paper during the past 1 few weeks, on the question of the believer's separation from the world. He speaks of the correspondence as having had "a seri- one and a comic aspect." "Serious on ac- count of its nature, and comic oa account of the way in whioh it had been conducted." The comic aspect, in the judgment of Mr Bamford, consisting in the hypothesis that Inquirer and Bible Student are both of "the Brethren." Admitting, for the sake of argument, that he is correct in his suppo- sition, is such not permissable in Lewspa- per correspondence, and is it not ofteu done to elicit information, with a view to the benefit of others? and if so, is there any- thing in it to excite mirth? Vertum ea- pienti aujfcit. It is very difficult to follow Mr Ransford in his style of reasoning. Instead of meet- ing the passages of Soripture presented by Bible Student, or of attempting to shew that they do -not mean what they say, he, in a spirit mach to be deplored in any one professing to be a Christian, launches forth ie a tirade of abuse against a class of Christians who, for conscience Bake, and in many oases at great sacrifice, have gone forth to Christ, "without the camp, bearing his reproach." It is not My intention to speak of those who have thus "gone forth;" failures anion; such there have been and in toe present imperfect condi- tion of things there may yet be, should not God prevent, ¢till greater failure; it is the truths they seek to maintain and bring out that are important, and when Mr Ransford attacks these, he is, unconsciously to him- self, no doubt, doing Satan's work. Mr Ransford quotes "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world," of course this he admits. One expression u led by Mr Ransford might lead ths,reader of his communication to think that Bible Student wrote of the Lord Jesus in a way nearly, if not quite, approaching profanity. It is thus, "If a Christian is not to vote because Christ did not vote." What Bible Student said was that He, the Lord, "did not interest himself in the political ques- tions of the day, nor take part in civic or military or national matters, so should not the Christian." Mr Ransford correctly states that in Christ's "day there was no vote " He did not come to set aside the state of things that existed under the Jew- ish economy, to overthrow their Govern- ment, which was, in principle, theoratic. He would have the Jew to render to Caesar the things which were Ceesar's, and to God the things which were God's. Mr Remit ford, I presume, knows that the line of separation between saint and sinner, prior to the promulgation of the Gospel, had not been drawn, the only distinction being that of Jew and Gentile. The church had not then been formed, and during Christ's so- journ on earth could not be. The Lord's own words are clear and distinct, "My kingdom is not of this world." He would have set up His kingdom, had He not been rejected, that rejection having culminated in His crucifixion. That event introduced a 4ew etate of things. The day of Penti- cost witnessed the baptism' by the Holy Ghost of the then believers in the Lord Jesus into the one body, and the word of inspiration then, and still is, "Endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Has this been, done? Let the thousand and more of the religions bodies in Christendom answer. That there has been failure among those who have separ- ated from the evil of the different sects of Christendom is admitted, but it will not be denied by Mr Ransford that this does not alter God's' principle of separation from a world that lieth in the arms of the "wicked one," and of which he is the prince. Nay, "Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate," is still God's order, and will continue to be, until He whose right it is to reign "shall put down all 'rule and. all authority," and Himself "reign from the rivers to the ends of the earth." and then His saints shall reign with Him, Mr Bamford asks, "Where are we to draw the line?" The answer is, the line has been drawn by an unerring band. If it were left to the professing church to draw it it would be what it is in practice, no line. Scripture says, "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecu- tion." But that godly living, except in rare ceases, has ceased to be, and times so changed make it difficult to understand how Christians are not of the world. All its harmless pleasures thee 'partake of, all its honors they aspire to and obtain, they find it their positive duty to "get on" in••it, and do good to themselves, that men may speak well of them; they do not believe that Satan is the prince of this world, for they are among its soldiers, its magistrates, its politicians. The Rev Dr Brookes, of St. Louis, re- marks, "It is strange that the great mass of Christians In these days can be so blind to the truth, as to join hands with the world in a vain attempt to reach the mill- enial reign of righteousness, and social order, and good government,without Christ. The church has not converted the world, but the world is fast converting the church, and the two march side by side, merrily singing, 'A government of the people, by the people, for the people,' which, as man now is, and will be till Christ comes, must be considered the most stupendous humbug of the centuries." Perhaps Mr Ransford, should he notice this communication, may. in his brief manner of meeting truth, de• molish the doctor's statement by the two simple words in hie former communication, "what folly." Meanwhile, yours truly, BIBLE STUDENT. Charles Butler, the piano agent who worked a freed on a North Easthope farmer last spring, and is defendant in an action for obtaining money under false pretense, sent down for trial in December at London, has committed suicide in New York by shooting himself. He was about 30 years of age, and his friends live in the vicinity of Belleville, Butler .was impli- cated in the hullese oats frauds before he. took up the piano racket, and had quite an unsavory reputation as a swindler all over Ontario. When second-hand dealers are able to se- cure as part of their trade in stock addres- ses presented to Canadian Governor - Generals by important religious bodies, it is surely time that "the address nuisance" was checked. Mr J. A. Gravelle, of Rideau street, Ottawa has on exhibition in his shop window, and will sell for''twenty-five dollars theaddreiss of the Presbyterian General As- sembly to the Marquis of borne, then Gov- ernor-Generalof Canada,in 1882,theocca ion being•the reoovery of Princess Louiseom a severe illness. The address is sign dl by by Rev.Wm Cochrane,then moderator, end the session was held at St. John, leew Brunswick. Ilow did the address ohme into the hands cf the second hand dealer ? Mr Gravelle says be will only communicate that information to the person who buys the document from him. 4, A DENIAL.

Mr James Stewart, of the restaurant, Seaforth fell, on the evening of the 10th inst., and broke his left leg near the ankle. Mr James Grieve has undertaken the management of the Carnochan farm on the third concession of Tuckersmith, and has gone there to reside. Another of Exeter's esteemed and respected residents passed away on the 7th inst, in the person of Jane, wife of William Pugsley, aged 59 years and 4 months. C. Bowerman teacher in S. S.

Campbell has sold his farm, cn the 17th concession of Grey, near Ethel, to Mr Duncan Johnson, a neighbor, for $2,- 460. The farm contains 50 sores and an excellent place. Talking about good yields of turnips this year Charles Rozell, 9th oon., Grey had 8 acres from which he hauled 4,852 bushels of turnips or an average of over 600 bush- els to the acre. It was a fine crop. On Tuesday of last week Wilson McKay, in Grey, and a patron of the Silver Corners cheese factory was fined $10 and costs be- fore P. M. Terhane, Listowel, for sending milk from which cream had been taken to the factory. Many will regret to learn of the serious lliness of Mrs Neil Ross, of the London road, near Brumfield; Mrs Rosa has been confined to bed for some time and as she is an old lady, upwards of eighty, fears are entertained that she may not recover. Owing to continued ill health Mr A. E . Pridham, of Goderich, has been compelled to sell out his gents' furnishing business, which has been purchased by Mr Tory Hays. Mr Pridham has a wide circle of friends who sincerely regret his serious illness.

Mr Bowdon has retained the briok residence and ten sores of land north of the river and intends living in Exeter. Judge Toms held County Judge's Crim- inal Court last Friday, when the charge of till tapping from the village of Ethel, in which Hugh McAllister alleged that Alex. Glen had stolen $360 from his till, was tried. The only evidence for the prose- cution was that of a boy olerk, but it failed to show Glen guilty and he was ac- quitted.—A charge of chicken stealing from Exeter, the defendants being three well-known young men of that village, was also dismissed, two of the parties having put in a week in jail while waiting trial, We see by the Morrisbnrg paper that Mr Elliot, father of Dr. Elliot, of Brucefield, bas died at the advanced aged of 96 years. He has been an able man and has had a remarkable history. Ho was a successful farmer, miller, railway contractor and mnnioipal man, having been warden for some time of the united counties of Dunde , Stormont and Glengarry. He was h among the Reformers and a staunch Pres- byterian and was looked up to as a man of n .
