AT HOME.—The second annual "at home" given by the members of :the Canadian Order of Home Circles was held on Tuesday evening last, in their Lodge rooms in Searle's block. These gatherings, although of recent origin, are regarded as among the most pleas- ant social events that take place. and are looked forward to with a degree of anticipation that is always realized. The room was crowded on Tuesday evening by the members of the circle, their wives and friends, (on invitation) and a very pleasant time was spent. Several of those announced on the pro- gram were unable to be present, but while these omissions were regretted, the rendition of the program was pleas- ingly interesting. It embraced read- ings by Messrs J. Houston, W. R. Lough, T. C. Bruce and Thos Murch; retitation by 11. C. Brewer; solos by Messrs R. Foster and W. P. Spaul- ding; duets by Miss S. and Mr Sibley: Quartettes by Misses H. and L. Irwin and Messrs Yellowlees and Holloway; instrumental duet by Messrs R. Welsh and G. F.

There isnot a place in H uron,outside of the towns, that has so large and ac- tive a society of Christian Endeavor as is to be found in connection with Un-. ion Chureh, Brucefleld. It is not alone large in attendance and members, but is doing a work in the development and training of its members that is highly commendable, arid shows that even in small places great good can be done if only the proper way of doing it is only pursued. To the exceedingly able and greatly -esteemed pastor of the church, Rev. J. H. Simpson, is due the credit, in a very large measure, for the success of this organization, for he has been unceasing in his attention and efforts to it, with the most gratifying results.
