Special services are being held in On- tario Street Methodist Church. Rev. Mr Galloway preached on Monday ev- ening, and Rev Mr Irvine, of Kippen, on Tuesday afternoon and evening. Notwithstanding the unpleasant weather of Friday, a large number of persons called on the Young People of Ontario Street Methodist Church, dur- ing the afternoon, and were cordially welcomed and served with coffee and cake. In the evening the church Was comfortably filled by an appreciative audience, who had the pleasure of lis- tening to a good literary and musical program ; the address of Mr George Harland, of Detroit, relative to mission work in the slums of that city, was in- teresting and profitable. Kippen. CHURCH ITEM. -No doubt some . in- terest will be taken in the organ ques- tion, but there is very little clanger of much excitement --too much good sense aniong the members of St. Andrew's church, for ' anything of that kind. We are happy to note, however, that in the event of the congregation decid- ing to introduce an instrument, a fel members haVe very generously come forward and volunteered to place a good organ in the church, free of charge to the congregation. Such liberality is certainly commendable. SERM'ON.-Rev S. Acheson preached an eloquent sermon last Sunday morn- ing, to a good sized congregation, on the subject of holiness, or entire sanc- tification. In his sermon he showed the difference between the Presbyte- rian and Methodist doctrine of holiness or sanctification, the former claiming it to be an attainment seldom reached before death; the latter claiming it to be an instantaneous work, obtained from God, when the soul is fully given uP to God, and trusts in Him for the blessing. Mr Acheson's text was in i John, 1st chap., "If we say we have not sinned we make him a liar, and the truth is not in us. NOTES. -Mr R. Kettle is convales- cent, and will likely soon be out again. Mr Frank Mann, Mr Blair and a young child in the village have been down with.grippe, but are recovering slowly. The Epworth League officers and the Sabbath School teachers and officers are to be elected next Thursday even- ing. Service in the Methodist church, next Sunday, is in the evening at 6:30. Our schools re -opened on Monday. Mr John Fluker, Auburn, has been visiting friends around here. Miss Lizzie Mon- teith remains as teacher in No. 14, Hay. Thos. Acheson is attending the Clinton Collegiate Institute. Several of our citizens are laid up with la grippe. The farmers' club of S. S. No. 14., Hay, is doing a grand work, and many new members are being added; may they continue to unite the farmers together. CORRECTION. - The Kippen corres- pondent wishes to apologise to Rev. Mr Simpson, of Brucefield, for saying he preached against the Methodist doctrine of holiness, on the evening of Dec. 13th. The sermon he referred to was preached on the morning of that date, or a previous Sunday, hence the "co -incidence" theory is not necessary. Your correspondent also wishes to ex- onerate Mr Simpson from the blame attached to preaching against a stand- ard doctrine of the Methodist church. My informant, who, by the way, is a member of Union church, states that before proceeding to demolish the holf- ness doctrine preached in these town -- ships, Mr Simpson stated that the doc- trine he was against was not the doc- trine of the Methodist church, that Wesley gave it up before his death, and that it is an old doctrine lately come te life in the teachings ,of a few people who are not competent teachers diN4ne truths. Of course these ate not the exriet words, but 0 these May not be inf Ired by the iafluSript 'Of his ate2 on holiness. which I re- •fer,s tpologise o r my own sig nay 1Y140001,1,,, , , .11TEw YEAR'S DAY.-”-INT0w Yette's.day Was ilather quiet here; in the winning It was raining, but it ,leared up before noon, Pleasure driving seemed to be out of the question. The Bell band turned out in the afternoon, and sere- naded some of the citizens, whith en- livened things considerably 1 and to- wards evening groups were to be seen standing, here and, there, talking multi, cipal matters. MUNICIPAL. The contest between Geo. McKenzie and Mr John Hannah, for reeve, resulted in favor of the latter gentleman, by a majority of 02; and for deputy -reeve, between Messrs Sparling and Dawson, resulting in favor of the former by a majority of 152. Wingliatu will, therefore, be represented at the county council by twoof its, prominent Conservatives. CHURCH. -Rev Mr Swan, of ,Strath- roy, who is visiting with his daughter, Mrs Sellery, preached in.the Methodist church, on Sunday evening last, taking his text from the 27th chapter of Mat- thew, and part of the 22n4 verse, "What shill do then, with Jesus who 'is called Ohrist." The sermon was a powerful one, and thes.peaker appealed earnestly to theaudience to- accept Christ. UNION SERVICES. - The Methodist Congregational, Presbyterian and Bap - tion churches are holding union prayer services this week. The meetings are well attended. 41. ten minute address is given each evening by one of the reverend gentlemen. We believe these meetings will be a sourcelof great bene- fit to the churches, to anunate still more the spirit of brotherly love. STILL IN COURT. -Mr R. Smith, of Toronto, acting on behalf of H. W. C. Myers, Q. C. of Wingham, obtained permission from the master -in -cham- bers on Saturday morning, at Osgoode Hall, to issue a writ against Mrs Con- over, of Wingham, for $750, that being the amount of Mr Myers' bill of costs in connection with the defense of Hen- ry Garbutt, the alleged forger, who is held for extradition to the State of Texas. It was represented that Mrs Conover became liable for Carbutt's legal expenses and that she is now try- ing to dispose of her property, with a view towards leaving the country. Permission was given by the master for the issue of the writ. Mrs Conover is Garbutt's mother-in-law. NOTES. -Mr W. Green has been laid up this week with an attack of la grippe. Mrs R. Green is suffering from an attack of inflammation ot the lungs. Master Wm. McTavish and his sister Maggie, of Lochalsh, returned home last week, after spending Christmas holidays with friends in town. Messrs David and Albert Walden, and their sister Maryorf Amberly, spent Christ- mas and New`Year's with friends here, and retaumed home on Saturday last. Miss Maggie McLaughlin, of New York, is home on a visit. Master Frederick McTavish and his sister Nettie, of Ver- dun, who had been visiting friends in town during Christmas week, left for home on Saturday last. Mr Frank McLaughlin, of Detroit, who spent his Christmas holidays with his parents here, left for Detroit on Monday. Miss Maud Ilarburn left for Hibbert last Saturday, to visit her sisters. Mr S. Gilchrist was in Listowel last week,. and while there had the pleasure of going through the new furniture fac- tory; and being a first-class machine hand, was highly pleased with the ap- pearance of everything. • , Gotierich.

The program was tur- nsually good, and showed thatave have local talent, second to none if only developed. Two gaily decked trees, lighted with candles and laden with valuable presents called forth the ad- miration of all, and when Santa Claus appeared in gorgeous costume and with flowing beard, the happiness of the children were complete. The Rev F. G. Newton, ha a few words, spoke of the encouraging state of the school, and asked the parents to see that the children attended regularly and pre- pared their lessons at home. at the same time heartily thanking the teach- ers and officers for their faithful as- sistance during the year. ALWAYS RUNNING DOWN THE VILL- AGE. -Some people are subject to an incontrollable inania for running down everything with Which they are not in immediate connection, or in which they are not particularly interested. In last week's Record appeared an item which was evidently intended to cast a slur on our enthusiastic photographer, J. W. Cook, who has worked up a splendid business in our midst. The article reminds us of the boy who hav- ing stolen his father's shot -gun tried to shoot it off "easy" so his father would not hear it. Mr Cook remarked to us that he thought it a very unkind reference to make of him when he merited the v ry opposite from every citizen of the • lage. Instead of en- couraging energe c business men the Record correspondent has always shown a tendency to belittle them in the eyes of its readers. Such polite(?) dakger thrusts do an untold injury to the business of the town. We can safely assure our estimable artist that the sympathy of the people of Bayfield and neighborhood is altogether with him notwithstanding this reporter's hare,brained enigmas to the contrary. A RARE SPECIMEN. -That pusilla- nimous guidunne, who gave such free vent to his revengeful and zealous spir- it in the Bayfield correspondent to the News Record, last week, in a rancor- ous assault on the Presbyterian Xmas tree entertainment, has evidently been suddenly awakened from the stupor into whi6h he was knocked last sum- mer, when the NEW ERA and other locals gave him away so badly. We have not . bad a word from him since till now. For nearly four months he has been sucking his paw in.ill humor- ed abashment and under the frowning contempt -of the respectable public; but last -week he surnmoned-up-eouvage- enough to 'appear again in his mud - throwing capacity, The article was quite characteristic and undoubtedly originated from a harmless joke in a very cleverly gotten up item of the program. It is a matter of much com- ment amongst the scribes of the News Record why the editor should give space to the insulting rant of every Tom, Dick and Harry, who should wish it once in four months to in erak vengence for an imaginary injury. The fact is the entertainment was of excellent quality, as it has always been with the Presbyterians and can readily stand the air gun attacks of the Re- cord's reporter crank. Porter's Hill. NOTES. -We are pleased to see the familiar face of our former teacher, W. E. Struthers, in our burg last week. Stirling McPhail spent New Years in London.

The day of the funeral his wife was taken ill and in 24 hours she also died. The two sons in California were sent for. They arrived in time for the obsequies of the mother, and on Saturday both sons died apparently of the same dis- ease.
