The entertainment "Loudon by
Lime Ligitt.," in the North street
Methodist church last week was au
exceedingly good one.
On the 6th inst the Sur publish
ed the result .of the voting at the
recent election giving all credit to
the N. W. T. Co. Noti';ing the
unfairness of such a proceeding, I
wrote the following.
The Star in giving the remelt 1•f the
election gives the N. W. T. Co. al the
credit, whereas at least half of the re-
turns, and the earliest ones read by him
in Victoria hall, were furnished by the
C. P. R. It eeerns strange that a piper
that is apparently in Payor of the C. P.R.
extension to Goderich should he doing
its best to disparage that institution on
almo t every available 000asion. D see
the Star think that its action will has•en
the Guelph and Goderich Junction
Railway ?
On the 13th the Star admitted
the truth by praising both Com-
panies, but its truthfulness did not
suit some boss, and it being t,n-
possible to hark back it tries
to wither the correspondent of
the NEWS -RECORD in the . following
original article.
If the author of the foregoing etupiti<
paragraph—the erode( lob norreepondent
of the Clinton News -RECORD -- was
animated more by a desire to help
Goderich than to have a fling at the Star,
he would keep somewhere near the truth.
When he says that The Star ever pub-
lished even one paragraph "to disparage
that institution" he wilfully and stupidly
lies. The Star has done more in support
of the C. P. R. and the to'.vu of Goderich
in one week than this petty scribbler has
done or could do in ten years. These re
musks may not be atr'ctly parliamentary,
but they are intended to be plain Eug-
lish.
"Want a fling at the Star 1" No,
no, I want something brighter and
cleaner to waste ink on, but if to
state an adiuitted fact is to take a
fling then I acknowledge I hit tete
shifting satellite. The little squeal
that the Star never published any-
thing to disparage the C. P. R. T.
Co. can easily be settled by referring
to the issue of the 6th of March.
The egotistical statement that "he
could do more for the C. P. R. and
the town of Goderich in one week"
than the writer of this column has
done, or could do in ten years is
like many of his brainless ravings,
the outcome of his pompous sof
importance and overweening
conceit. Imagine if you can the
calibre of a man who parades him-
self as aSabbath School superintend -
ant, using such language as that
above noted. Surely the Star man
should know that young people
could not read the front page of his
awfully popular paper as iesued last
week without being morally injur-
ed. Unlike the Star man I never
claimed to run the town and the
C. P R., conduct a Sabbath' School,
or control the dull Star of the
present day, but like many of my
townsmen I have done my best for
Goderich and the want of success in
the past has been caused by an
incubus, in the shape of a Star that
gives no light: As the controller of
the dull orb has attacked me with-
out cause I reciprocate by asking
him to give me my Star less blotted
and blurred, then I might make use
of it, by sending it as a patent All the numbers given before the

LAYMAN TO DORCAs.l.
Editor Ne'cs-Record
DEAR Sta.—In reference to the let-
ter written by "Do- ens", wl:icir ap-
per"ed in your issue of last week.
As 'ega -ds the Bishop's inte..il.io3 of
foaming a society a-nong the laity of
of the Chti,'ch for the purpose of -1tir-
:i'Tg thea, top t r n,. ro active ch,- 'eh
wo -k.
Now, it appears tome that Do •cas'
opinions, or rather ideao, are rather
e roneous.
As rega•ds ati'"ing up the cle •gy.
if they, for their Master's sake w ll
not be a'.oused from letha."', end
take a deep interest i't the wok
which they have untler.aken to do,
how are we to suppose that they will
obey the voice of their Bishop •?
His Lordship preactriug to apathe-
tic clergy, would be Gl.e t •e cle^gy
preaching to lukewa"m members.
Do' -cgs speaks o" a ousing the
"young clergy"to their sense o.
I think that he is probate y ove esl'm-
ating the abilities of the newt' or-
dained ministers. 1t may be that he
is not aware that i takes the g'eater
majority o" them upwaids of th"ee
days to prepare two se_ um s for the
Sabbath day, such 1 are required
for this enlightened age.
Then comes the Wednesday even-.
ing service, fol which another day is
spent in preparation. By this you
see four days are taken up
out of the six. Now to almost
every , parish there is a mission
field attached, and to that mission
the greater part of the two remaining
days should bo given; as they have
the privilege of having but one s; r -
vice during each week
And now, I would ask what time
have the clergy for individual work
in our respective towns and vi )ages?
If anything it must be very little-.
Hence the necessity of the most
faithful of the laity Liking hold and
helping those who have been appoint-
ed to watch over them in the work
of bringing souls to the feet of Jesus.
I for one will deem it a great p"iv
ilege to have a plan laid oat by which
"we the laity who are willing," can
work together with one accord in
the: cause of our Redeemer.
I see no better way of arousing any
clergy who may be given to lethargy,
than by letting them see that the
members of thei • respective churches
are interested in the same work.
And to the faithful laity I would say,
let us cast off all that tends to revul-
sion, and put on the whole armour
