Monday he was married to a Miss Aggie, daughter of our old friend Mr. John Porter of same township, and in the afternoon the happy cou- ple took train for Grandin, Dakota, where Mr. Curry has a farm besides the one he owns here. We wish the young couple much more pleasure in their social annexation than Can- ada could ever hope to have in pol- itical annexation. FIRE.—At as near as may be four o'clock Tuesday morning the large frame building known as Kelly's hotel, situated at the old G. T. R. Station, near Irwin's steam elevator, caught fire and in about twenty minutes was naught but a masa of charred smouldering ruins. The in• mates, or auy one else, were not aware of the fire until considerable time had elapsed, so that before the fire alarm was sounded the premises were one sheet of flame, and ere the steam fire engine arrived on the scene they were beyond the saving power of human aid. The contents were completely consumed. Mr. O'lIara, the lessee, escaping without hat or hoots. His wife, her sister, Mrs.Kelly and the Tatter's two chil- dren barely escaping with their lives. Mr O'Hara had his hair and whiskers singed in a fruitless endeavor to save a dress of Mrs. Kelly's in which was a small amount of money, and it was only by remarkable presence of tnind he had previously gotten the two chil— dren out by dumping there into a clothes basket and dragging theta out with one hand while ho assisted Mre.

The bishop of Huron has called a meeting of the male Lay Workers of the diocese to be held in London on April 2, for the consideration of the following resolutions of the Sy- nodland the expression of tho Bish- op's views on the matter : "That this Synod is deeply im "pressed with the:conviction that the "rnore general participation of the "Laity in the spiritual work of the "Church is demanded alike by her "needs end tho duty of her members "to her Supreme Head. "That it is expedient that.in every "parish,where practicahle.youthe and "young then be associated together "in guilds, brotherhoods or other "societies, and that such definite "work be assigned to them by the clergyman or vestry, as they may "from time to time be suitably re- "quirod lu perform. To this resolution the Bishop adds that the wants of the Church under this head may briefly bo stat- ed as follows :— First—A more hearty coopera- tion on the part of the Laity in the spiritual and temporal %v rk of each parish. Secondly—Some organized an ti well-developed plan by which the spiritual and other gifts of the Laity may be nurtured and matured for the promotion of God's glory and the welfare of Hie Church.

HURON. ORIGIN AND TENETS OF METHODISM. March 2, 1891 marked the centennial of the death of the Rev. John Wesley, an ()vena which has been commemorated by the world-wide family of Methodism, of which he was the f.+under. According to John Wceley, "the firet rise of Methodism was in November, 1729, when four of us met together at Ox- ford." Their object in this meeting was to deepen their spirituel life by prayer and study of the S+triptures. The appal• lotion Methodist grew out of the taunt- ing spirit, because they were unusually precise and m4thodie In the observance of their religious duties and the regu- larity of their lives. This organization was anon joined by George Whitfield and ethers, end on Wesley's return from America in 1738 it had grown onnsider• ably, and he tanned its flame. His aim was to rekindle piety in the Church of England, and not to set up a sect in opposition to her. He instructed hie ley pt etchers whom he appointed to minister to his f .flowers iu different parte of the country, "io every place to exflort thoso brough• up in the church to constantly attend its services. ' Only a year before his death (1790) he wro'e : "I fear that when the Methodists leaves the church God will leave them," The intolerance displayed by the clergy in excluding the Methodists from the Lord's supper, at Bristol, a precedent extensively Followed, led the brothers to minister the sacra- ment. The Methodists were excluded from the D:seenting meeting -houses. This want of sympathy awl nppreeeion in other quarters developtd the system of open-air preaching, which did so much to bring the negleclel populace of Bag - land, the million, within reach of the Uoepel. Methodism primuriiy was not intend- ed to found a church, but to provide a method for eultivsting Dit ins Ufa ; and this method is still the same iu all the bodies, over a hundred, into which the Weeleyan Methodrets have now divided. It hes produced wonderful works iu benevolence, and excited an influence en the religious life t f England en great that the philosopher, F. D. Maurice, thinks its iofiuence saved England from being swept into the vortex of the Fr enah - Revolution. Its firet cheese was due to the fact that at its t ory heart it was a religious movement, and had nothing to da with,deetrinal di.putes r r questions of church, government. I; was "to re- form a hatiou ao.l spread scriptural holiness over the land." Ono of the moat potent factors of its success is the class meeting, which are integral porta of the circuit of a district ;thus tho humblest member is grasped by this system and brought into direst pecuniary as well as spiritual relation with the leadere and the outire body. A convenient number of climes are united into a congregation, and those into circuits, each circuit having one or more itinerant or recognized preachers author- ized by the ceufereuco of the district, under whom are the lay ur local preach era minatering in their own Inoalitiee. One of the features of Methodism is the encouragement of the "preaohinglpower," exercised under a responsible ministry,so that vast resultsareaocomplished through the eloquent testimony of law preachers whose congregation is the community. The circuit preachers are appointed fur three years only, and no circuit or Itiner• ate preacher cin be -ippon toil again to the same circuit until he has been three years absent at loins other. The Christ- ian soldiers moving in obedience to order make their work at ti.nes the nature of a severe sacrifice in leaving a congrega- tion in witch the personal ties have grown strongly. The supreme c•,urt of the church is the conference, and the found- ation of this, "tine legal hundred."Meth- odlste believe that no man can possess any assurance of a final salvation, but ouly of ,regent acceptance with (`rod, and that it is fearfully possible to fall entire- ly away from a real state of grace. They aleomeintain the possibility of an entire delivoranoe from in even in thin life." The results and growth of Methodism are remarkable—from a few young stu- dents in Oxford University one hundred and sixty years ago hal risen a church that has spread rivet the known world with nearly raven million communioante, and not far from thirteen million Methc- dist adherents. Editor News -Record I notice -1 on Friday a procession heed- ed by M. C. Cameron going about from tevetu to tavern end apparently drink- ing at each plane where the miserable stuff is sold. Townsmen were in the proceaeion who should have known Netter than to countenance any such demi,raliziog proceedings, ev++u to strengthen the party. I have been re minded by sumo of my temperance Wender ot the published endorsatiun of Mr. Cemekon sometime ago by the Worn,.

Since the inception of their belittling Canada, Toronto has doubled her population and abr.ut quad- rupled her wealth. Such is the case with many other of our towns. Daring that reeled, so great have been the profits of the Globe Co. that they charter a special train of cars to cr.ovey the paper to distant cities every morning. They have also erected the best priotitrg and publiehiog palace on the American continent.

As to our agriculture) stet[., a couple of illustrations will suffice for this eouuty and the rest of Canada. At the ohm. menoemeot of the present win,ter one of the oppressed farmers crme to Clinton and paid $100 for an overcoat. During the week preceding election, a farmer, a Gybe reader, came to Clinton recited a chapter of "hard times" in the language of au ancient !philosopher the poor (?) farmer just "waxed twelve bells" out of the Conservatives," then eleeeking an artizen, he gave hint a contract fur the erection of a new dwelling, to coat sonne- where in the thoueende.

All:the rest named will require help for a like pur- pose. However, we would not speak diep.ragingly of the Staten, or of any other country. They all hare their sorrows, and it were not klod in us to wish to add thereto. 1t is resumed by the Globe and its disciples that what hurts the f rater hurts all the country. And, that if the farmer prospers, so will ell the rent, the admit this, and to prove the sum. es of the a;trieultariet, we will cite the prosperity of the Cana- dian press. Never did our printers flourish its in the lest twelve years. Whence came their napped'? An im- pn.'erished country never sent her daily issues by specially chartered railways, nor erected printing palaces, or even Dent power -presses through tl-e length ainot breadth of the Dominion. I oak the News -Recoup what opinion can we form of those prosperous papers who so persistently cry down the country ? We fancy we hear your answer that there can be but one opinion on the subject. That those "blue ruin" publishers, for the sake of indulging in party caprice, have fallen into the despicable habit of bare -faced, wilful lying. Worse still, they have been guilty ot treason. We hare read "blue ruin" in a Grit paper, and in the same issue aeon the editor's growl because the railroads did not supply sufficient rolling marshes to take tho farmers etnek to market as aeon as they desired.
