Extended notion will be given next week.
The usual union thankegiving service will be
held in the town hallon Thursday morning
next, cornmenoing Atli O'clock. It is the Rev.
A, Stewart's turn to preach, but owing to a
press of other duties, the Rev. W. Smythe has
oo.nsented: to take his place.
Special services are being conducted in the
Baptist church, the pastor being assisted by
Rov Mr Carey of Ailsa Craig, who, it is expect-
ed, may elnoiate on Sunday next. The meetings
aro well attended, and the interest in them is
increasing. The. public aro cordially invited.
The Sabbath chool anniversary of Willis•
church will be held on November 20th and 27th.
The Sabbath services will be conducted by Rev
J. S. Henderson, of Hensall.. The Monday
evening entertainment will take the form of a
thanksgiving song service, to be participated
in by the scholars.
The gospel temperance address LI the town
hall next Sabbath afternoon, will bo given by
Mr James Soott chair to be taken by Mr.Foster,
singing led by Mr. Chant, and solo by Miss Hat-
tie llumball. The address last Sunday, by Rev.
Mr Nugent, was forcible, argumentative, and
on many points irrefutable.
The people of North St. church, Goderich,
have purchased a fine new pipe organ, which
will be formally opened on the evening -of
Thanksgiving Day. The organist for the occa-
sion will be Mr Art. De row of Detroit nephew
of Mr M'. Doherty. Quite -a number of Clinton.
ians expect to attend the service.
Tho quarterly official meeting of the Hatton -
bury St. church, was held on "luesday evening.
The same stewards as held office hist yea: •.vere
re-elcuted, viz: -Messrs Stevens, Doh,r•ty,
Chant Lough, F. Hodgeis, W. Cantolon and
A. T. Cooper. Various matters relating to the
welfare and prosperity of Ills church were dis-
cussed.
The missionary services of Ontario St. church,
on Sunday last were well attended, and an able
and eloquent sermon givetrin the morning by
Rev, Mr. Nugent, of Palmerston, who is ono of
the most vigorous preachers in the Conference.
Able addresses were given in the evening, by
Mr. Nugent, and Mr. Wm, M. Gray, of Sea -
forth, and the subscriptions taken up on behalf
of 'plosions, indicate a considerable increase
over those of last year.
There was a fairly good attendance at the
entertainment given in Ontario St. church on
Tuesday evening,under the auspices of the
youngpeople. Tere was a good literary and
musicl program, after which the pastor, Rev.
W. Smythe, gave an address on 'Sights and
scenes at the World's Fair." The time at Mr
Smythe's disposal was not sufficient wherein to
do the subject ,justice, but he made an interest-
ing and instructive address, gh ing personal re-
miniscences and experience. The proceeds
amounted to about $30.
Tho NEW ERA ment,ionod last week the invita-
tion of Rev. J. Edge to Toronto. Commenting on
the fact the Acton Free Press says :-"The invi-
tation has been accepted, subject to ratification
by the transfer and stationing committees.
While congratulations upon a call to so import-
ant a charge aro general, much regret will be
felt at Rev. Mr Edge's removal from Guelph
Conference. He has always boon a useful
member of the Conference, and has filled all
official positions to which ho has been from
time to time elected with much satisfaction.
However, Mr Edge entered the ministry and
was ordained in the old Toronto Conference,
and if he returns it will be merely going back
home. His Corm at Acton expires next Juno."
Commandont Booth, the Commissioner of the
Salvation Army of Canada,has fixed the date of
the annual' Self -Denial for November 25th to
December 2nd, The proceeda.of the Self -Denial
efforts in Canada and other countries is a re-
markable testimony of the Army's progress
and development. During this week every
member of the Army from the Commissioner s
latest recruit along with the thousands of Army
friends,fabstain from all luxuries in order that
they may bo able during this week to contribute
more liberally to the various operations and
institutions of the Salvation Army. The Sal-
vation Army's Solf-Denial efforts in Canada in
1888 produced 82,828.93; 1889 produced 85,993,10;
1891 produced $12,257.18; and last year the steady
improvement continuedaud produced the mag-
nificent total of $14,080.85. Will you help us this
year. CAPTAIN H. C. CLARK.

THE PROHIBITION PLEBISCITE
To the Editor of the Now Era.
- DE SIR, -A former resident of Clinton
writes me under date of llth, from Port-
land, Maine: "Just arrived; I saw, on
emerging from depot, a drunkard, put out
from a saloon, and on my way to the Preble
House, passed two more drunkards reeling
on the sidewalk. One hotel I passed the
bar was open. All this within half an
hour."
And yet people, who have not been there,
believe the trash written by that enthusiast,
Neal Dow, and in the innocence of their
hearts think prohibition is working beauti-
fully in the State of Maine. I stopped in
Portland and its vicinity, for a month last
summer, and if what I saw is what people
want to have in Ontario, the quicker they
get it,the quicker we shall be rid of the curse.
Like the Scott Aot, the were crazy for it;
it wonlddo wonders. Theygot it, and three
years proved three years too much for most
people. Now they are bound to get prohi-
bition; this is going to cure all ills. Cranks
are a numerous body -sorry to say they
are in the majority. By sheer brute force,
nothing less, for they are stronger in vot-
ing power, and are going to force the weak-
er to accept their ideas; they will compel
the remainder to adopt Prohibition. It is
useless attempting argument; they resem-
ble a wild ball, blind to everything but an
insatiable desire to impale something. As I
said before, let it oome, for the sooner it is
born, the sooner will we see it die -
Yours, eta., JOHN RAMMED.
Nov. 14, 1893,
[Our esteemed friend is unjust in his re-
ference to ebrute force." If the term ap-
plies to a majority in one case, it must to
all, an interpretation that we do rot think
even so pronounoed an anti -prohibitionist
as Mr. Ranaford desires. There is, doubt-
less, some drinking in Maine, and other
prohibition states, but the inland revenue
returns prove that there is nothing like the
game quantity of liquor consumed that
was under license, and the criminal statis-
tics of prohibition states, compiled by the
U.S. government, are the strongest evidence
that could be desired, of the advantages of
prohibition. The Scott Aot was far from
being a failure, our friend to the contrary,
notwithstanding, and its repeal was due to
a variety of causes, that space will not al-
low to enumerate. Bat suppose, for argu-
ment, that its repeal was, a true index of
public sentiment, what does our friend
make out of the Maine law (where drinking
is said to beso flagrant) which has been re-
peatedly endorsed by the people and finally
made a part of the state constitution by an
overwhelming majority, never to be repeal-
ed. The law recognizes the need of some
restriction to the liquor traffic and the real
point, is, to what extent shall tie restriction
go. If the majority deoi a that the restrie-
tibn shall be at great as ssible-and laws

The bale Bev J fi. Simpson,
OF BRIYOEFIELD.
It is with the deepest sorrow that we
this week chronicle the death of the
Rev J. H. Simpson, the beloved pastor
of Union Church, Brucefleld, which
took -place at the manse, on Thursday
morning, 9th inst. Mr Simpson was
born in Montreal, on Nov. 15th, 1845, of
Scotch lineage; he was the youngest of
twelve children. Shortl after his birth
his parents moved•to iamilton; after
providing a horse his Other suddenly
died of Asiatic cholera. Mr Simpson
received his early education in the
school of Nelson township, and Dr.
Green's academy, Port Nelson, from
lvhich he obtained his certificate, and
began teaching, which profession he
followed for eighteen years. When
principal of the Thorold Public School
he formed the congregation of Louth,
which was afterwards united to Merri-
ton; he was then called to take charge
of the whole field, which he did for six
years. During this time he attended
Knox College, Toronto. and graduated
from that institution in the spring of
1886. Several invitations and offers of
calls were extended to him, buta very
unanimous and hearty one came from
Union Church, Brucefleld, which he
accepted, and continued as pastor till
death called him to his reward. He
entered upon his work in Brucefield
with great enthusiasm, and received
the hearty sympathy and support of
the congregations, in his efforts to
build up the great Redeemer's kingdom.
He was a zealous temperance worker,
and strongly advocated the cause of
total abstinence. He also took a deep
interest in the Sabbath School, and
taught the Bible class with much ac-
ceptance, while health permitted. -
Mainly through his efforts the Sabbath
School Association of Tuckersmith,
Stanley and Hay was formed, which
has ever since sought to develop an
interest in the religious training of the
young. He also threw his whole heart
and soul into the Christian Endeavor
movement, and organized, in connec-
tion with his own congregation, the
first society in Huron, and thus secured
a hand of zealous young Christians to
rally around him and assist him in car-
rying on the Lord's work. His ser-
mons were plain, pointed, and full of
the Gospel. His last discourse to hits
people may be regal ded as characteris-
tic of the whole of his preaching. His
text was, "And I, if I be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all men unto me,"
John 12, 32.
During his ministry many made a
profession of faith in the Lord .Jesus;
indeed, seldom did a communion ser-
vice arrive, without some visible evi-
dence of the fruit of his labors, which
greatly cheered him in his work. Dur-
ing his last illness he was courageous,
and hopeful till nearly the end, that
the Master would spare him a little
longer to preach the Gospel to his dear
people. However, when he saw that
such was riot to be his lot, he could say
from his heart, "Not my will, but
Thine, he done," and was willing "to
depart and be with forever with the
Lord." The Lord gave him rich grace
to glorify Him in dying. His faith
was strong, his mind was clear, and
his peace was like a river. His life was
hid with Christ in God, and he was as-
sured that when through with the
trials, and conflicts, and labors of earth,
he would enter upon the possession of
his Brother's fair kingdom, and serve
Him who bought him day and night
in His temple. His last words were,
"Jesus save me. Come Jesus." Dur-
ing his affliction great sympathy was
manifested toward him and his family,
by his congregation and other friends.
All that loving hearts and willing
hands could do was done to comfort
them in their sorrow. The funeral
was largely attended, not only by his
own congregation, but many from the
neighboring congregations came to
show their sympathy witb the family
and congregation, and their respect for
a minister much beloved. It is also
well to note here that hie brethren of
the Oddfellows, Home Circle and Royal
Templars wereresent at the funeral,
to perform the lasteoffices of respect to
a faithful member. "Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord, from hence-
forth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labors, and their
works do follow them."
The Presbytery met in Brucefield on
the 14th inst., and passed the following
minute in reference to the subject of
the above notice :
The Presbytery of Huron, in session assembled,
would recognize the hand of the Lord in callingg
from their midst their brother, the Rov. J. H.
Simpson, pastor of the congregation of Union
church, Brucefield. The Lord gave, and the
Lord has taken; Blessed be the name of the
Lord. Our brother has been summoned early in
life to rest from his labors and to cuter upon
his reward. The Lord gave to him tufts of a
high order, which were faithfully used in seek-
ing to advance -His Kingdom among men, and
now that ho has bean called home, the Presby-
tery expresses its sorrow in parting with a
brother so kind, so_ gonial and so diligent in
every good work. The Presbytery would also
convoy to Mrs Simpson and sons their deep
sympathy in their sore affliction and pray that
the God of all grace and of all comfort may
support and sustain them In their night of
weoping,and supply all their need, according to
his riches in glory. The Proebytery also ex-
presses its deep sympathy for the session and
congregation, in the loss they have sustained by
the removal of a pastor so dearly boloved,whoso
services were so highly approciated by tho
congregation and so richly owned by the Mas-
ter and it is our earnest prayer that the Lord
will continuo to bestow his blessing upon the
Seed sown, so that there may be an abundant
harvest, to the honor and glory of His name.

The. following are toe principal :items
Of .tlneiness transacted; --Messrs, Stew,
art,, of Olint44n, andShaw, of Egmoud
ville, were appointed 'to address the
next annual. sleeting of the W.U+,M.S,
to be held in Olinton, on the 3rd Tiles -
day of Jynuarv, 1894. A. call from
Bayfield and, ethany, to Mr George.
Mit ennan, late of danii iohie, was
sustained, and arrangements were
made for his :induction, in the event of
his acceptance, on Dec, 12th, at 10
o'clock p, m., in St,Andrew'e Church,
Bayfield. .A resolution was adopted
expressing deep regret that t he Execu-
tive of the Home Mission Committee
had seen fit to refuse grants to Bay-
fleld and Bethany and to Leeburn and
Union Church, Goderleh Township.
Their decision seems to have been
based upon misconseption of the Pres-
bytery's action as regards re -arrange-
ment of the fleld,1and steps were taken
to secure the grants. A series of
questions relative to Christian Endea-
vor societies wet e adopted, with instruc-
tions that a copy should be sent to
each society. within the bounds.
Specialcommittees were appointed
to consider remits form General As-
sembly, with instructions to report at
next regular meeting of Presbytery.
The following minute, recommended
by the Temperance committee, was
adopted: -
That, inasmuch as by the order of the 'Ontario
Legislature, the. electors of the Province will
have, on the 1st day of January next, an op-
portunity of voting in favor of the prohibition
of the liquor traffic, the Presbyterypwould re -
out chturch, deliverance
general het Supreme
iu intoxicat-
ing liquors an contrary to the word of God and
the spirit of the Christian religion, and that it
ought not to be legalized by the votes of a
Christian people.
Tho Presbytery would express the earnest
hope that°our people will be found unanimously
opposed to this great evil, and urges upon our
ministers and office -bearers to bring this im-
portant. subject properly before the people.
Mr Stewartswas appointed Modera-
tor of the session of Union Church,
Br'ucefield, and a lengthy resolution of
appreciation, regret and condolence,
relative to the late pastor, was adopted:
The, same appears in full in the obitu-
ary notice of the late J. H. Simpson.
The next meeting will be held in
Clinton, the third Tuesday in January.
Items of Interest.
NOT EXACTLY LOCAL, BUT MAY BE
REGARDED AS SUCH.
TAKE A TRIP. -The railway, always
on the alert for b'isiness, is offering re-
duced rates for thanksgiving travel,
and those who wish to visit their rela-
tives or friends next week will find Mr
W. Jackson willing to facilitate their
trip.
BAD COLDS. -There has been a dis-
ease prevalent here that the doctors,
call the "Chicago Cold." The symp-
toms •ire much like bronchitis. The
patient suffers much from congestion
of the bronchial passage, high fever,
and tbe nameless wish -yon -would -die
feeling that was one of the most
strongly marked symptoms of la grip.
Nearly every one coming back from
Chicago experienced the ailment, but
no serious consequences followed.
TniFLES.-The indian summer has
been -delightful. and we could have en-
joyed it until next April. When a
person has corns he has to wear very
large shoes, so large, in fact, that they
cover a great many achers. An ex-
change has an article describing one of
the latest novelties in pocket books;
with a great many people a little cash
is the greatest novelty in pocket books.
There has been several flurries of snow
lately. The shipments of pressed hay
continue. Farmers having roots in
the ground should get thein -up with-
out delay as they cannot expect much
more fine weather.
Mrs Dawson, of Morton, Frontenac,
went upstairs to lower windows, and on re-
turning Blipped and fell to the bottom of
the stairs, receiving a shook from which she
died.
The Bpw Park estate, near Brantford,
formerly owned by the late Hon. George
Brown, has been purchased by Mr John
Hope. The remainder of the famous herd
of shorthorn cattlt< will be soul in April
next.
The Star Almanac of Montreal for 1894,
has 450 pages. Thirty thousand faits and
twenty thousand subjects. It is the great
popular almanac of the day, and it ie nob
surprising that the demand for it is so enor-
mous, even before a single dopy is issued.
Arthur Kitchen, of Hamilton, according
to a Port Huron dispatch of Friday, was
found in a street oar either so much ander
the influence of liquor, or else drugged, that
he had to be *mined bodily to the police
station. When searched, over $1,150 in
cash, and $360 in notes were found on his
person. He could not utter a word, and
his identity was established by papers
found on his person.
A wonderful new combination is R
Stark's Headache, Neuralgia, and Liver
Powders, nice to take; perfectly harmless.
Mr E. Maynard, of Woodstock, writes as
follows: "Thank you for the Headache,
Neuralgia and Liver powders you sent me,
which I have been very glad of, once for
my daughter, and this morning for Miss M
who said she had suffered from
headache for three days. We gave her one
of those wonderful powders, and in a very
short time she said in an astonished kind
of way, "Why, my headache is quite gone,"
and it did not return again. Mr Horace
Wills, Chief of Police, Woodstock, says:
"I have taken R. Stark's Headache Neur-
algia and Liver Powders, and find them a
sure cure every time." J. Temple, 46
Catharine street north, Hamilton, writes:
