Morris-Feild -Rogers-Co LISTOWEL. Methods and Possibilities of Junio3 Work. GIVEN BY MISS M. S. WASHINGTON, OF CLINTON, AT THE RECENT C. E. CONVENTION. When Christ, after his resurrec- tion, met with his disciples, and im- pressed on them again his mission to the world, and their commission as his followers, he gave to Peter the assurance of restored favor and confidence, by placing him as su- perintendent of the junior department of Christion work, in those forcible 'words, "Feed my lambs." The church has ever responded with more or less earnestness to this demand, Boys Brie'ades, Bands of Hope, Little Gleaners, Busy Workers, Kings Sons and Daughters, Catachumen Classes, and such gatherings have been formed locally to engage the youth in Christian work and moral reform. Together from the success, and lack, in these has arisen the necessity of an organization whose general principles may govern the whole, while giving them freedom in branches of work, and mode of con- ducting their meetings. This need wa . believe has been met in the Junior League and Endeavor Societies. The first . essentials in organizing these societies are boys and girls, say between the ages of six' and sixteen years, though the age limit may be more or less, according to the number of societies in the church. Do not pro- mote the juniors into the senior society until they can and will take part in its meetings; and I'would say to the seni- ors, see that such have active work in your society, even if it necessitate the old reliables being altogether off the committee staff for that term. The superintendent, selected loom the senior society, or appointed by the pastor,must be 1 n sympathy and touch a ---with-theegiris•. ands oyse-• �(Do snot cape the members of your Leagere children). They must have an interest in each one personally, their studies, recreations and amusements, not merely recogniz- ing thein as so many members of the Junior Society. A superintendent of this kind, consecrated to the work, feeling its responsibilities, and wide awake to its opportunities,will develop unconsciously into the model required, receiving as they give. The place anti hour of meeting should next be con- sidered. The room bright, cheery and comfortable, provided with an organ, a blackboard and maps for missionary evenings, if there is no Mission Band in connection with the church. The hour of meeting, one which collides as little as possible with the other duties Of our busy young people. Our meeting is held, during the sumrnee.montbs, from seven to eight o'clock on,Friday even- ing; if that hour is found to he too late for the younger members, it 'nay he immediately after school, or on Sunday afternoon, or possibly on Saturday of-. ternoon. " The officers of the society are chosen by the members annually or semi-an- nually, as desired. The offices corres- pond to those of the Senior Society. The committees may he inultiplied or limited, as opportunities for work are presented. I would say (though it \was advocated at the Provincial Con- )ention, that every member he on satire Committee) do not have more commit- tees than yon have work for. Te place a girl or boy on a committee wit hout a definite line of work to be done, will gi ve the idea t hat the position is chiefly one of courtesy, and small )•eeults, or none, are expected. Reports should be given of the work done at stated times, if not in a regular meeting, at least to the Superintendent, who can give condensed reports at a regular meeting. A lookout committee is needed in every society, to remind the fprgetful ones of the time and place of meetin, to let the superintendent know if any ate sick, to bring new members and welcome strangers. Mis- sionary and temperance committees may also be formed, and one or two meetings from each given during the term. It is also convenient to have so- cial and anisic committees ready for work when needed. We have had no sick visiting committee in our society as yet, but our members have taken flowers to the W. C. T. U. Flower Mis- sion, and carried bouquets to the sick, as directed by them. We have a pray- er meeting committee, in which we include the officers, who meet at the beginning of the term and arrange a progl am of topics and Bible study, one each for every evening; these ate print- ed and distributed to the members, who know what their work is, and when it Comps, and can prepare as long before its they wish. The singing -no unimportant part of the meeting --should he lively, and simple, with few verses at a time. If 3 unior League song hooks are not used, let thb members each select their fa- vorite song from the hymnal in use. In this way the brightest and easiest songs may be found. Keep a list of them for future reference. An organ- ist and assistant should be appointed, . who have the list of songs well prepar- ed that in the absence of one the ogler may till the position. One of the most irhpottaut parts of the junior work is this study t f the Bible, which au . ` n ter earvw 4x.04.,0 tokv tae takeli 1.)by periods. of history, 'by authors,'by books,, or by sections, • that the young people mayhave an y 1 �. .g p p intelligent knowledge of the ]3.ible as a whole, .of the relation between the Old sold lYew Testaments, and u general •knowledge of the contents of each 1 book, which will awaken an interqst in them to search the Scriptures for them - ,selves, and lead them to respect and reverence its teachings, The members themselves may take up the,4Biblestudy, and the superinten- dent rI view briefly at the next meet- ing, tc connect the thought. tA.t the Load convention the Rev S. T. Bart- lett/gave a most complete form for . Bible study, having the books arranged under suitable headings, with their meaning or key note; for instance, the first five, or law books, and their meaning, Genesis, beginnings; Exodus, departure; giving the typical persons, events, objects, etc., as fully as desired, while in each lesson the superintendent can carrrthe thought from the types to their fulfilment, and interest the mind, educate the intellect, and capti- vate the heart in one. The pledge is repeated in concert im- mediately after the opening prayer in every meeting.. Addresses on topics suitable to'the juniors may be given by the members each week, except conse- cration meeting evening; we have been delighted and benefited by those taken in our Society, some of which would compare favorably with the efforts of the seniors', the sunple language used often making the truths more appa- rent. We have a roll of honor for those who attend Sabbath School and church once on Sunday and can repeat the minister's text and tell where it is found; if the seniors think that a child- ish arrangement let them try it. The consecration meeting corres- ponds largely with that of the Senior Society, responsive reading of the les- son, Scripture text in response to the roll call, sentence prayers, interspersed with singing, and. at the close, the col- lection or free will kering. We cannot properly estimate the ad- vantages to themselves, to the church, and to tne world, as the result of thus early turning the energy and enthusi- asm of our young people into intelli- gent work for Christ. But as we think of the possibilities for good or evil con- tained in the life of one child(( be that a Spurgeon or an Ingersoll, and con- sider our object not only to connteract the objectionable habits already form- ed, but to prevent their formation, by filling the young life with something butter, purer, and equally attractive, we look :for great things frcm the Junior Societies. It cannot make a boy less sportive 'to know that he is a volunteer under the Banner of the Cross, though it will make him gentlemanly and generous in his play. It cannot make a girl less bright and witty to feel that she is one of the King's daughters, but it will guard her from shadowing others by her bright- ness, or wounding her companions by her repartee. It cannot darken a child's life to hear the "God bless you" from the sick and "shut in," as she leaves her bright smile and a bunch of flowers, to gladden the lives of such, but it will teach her to be gentle and thoughtful for others. Then, in the home, "a little child shall lead them." epi th ,.Jtlt?!Ql's. ho.,m,e,•.witbct4Iirtd. and.. earl full of plans and projects of work to be accomplished, •and you interest their parents and friends in spite of themselves, and the thought is forced upon the parent: if my child sees so much work to be done, shall I not dis- courage him, and condemn myself, if I remain idle? , Then the possibilities are that we are raising up active, courageous, discip- lined reef uits for the Senior Society, who in the seasons of prayer will do away with the silent, I w''as going to say with the silent prayers between the audibie ones, but they cannot be con- sidered as such, unless in the words, "I pray thee have me excused," and we look for the time when every mo- ment of the consecrated League hour shall be. filled with song, prayer and praise. The question of recreations and amusements too will, no doubt, receive proper• adjustment as the outgrowth of this movement. Place side by side before a hungry c'hilcl, a dish• Of soap arid water and a pipe, and a plate of wholesome and tempting food, and the average child would, we presume. leave the soap bubbles for the food; so, if we give the Juniors animated social life saturated with mental and spiritual vigor, they will have little time or inclination for entertainments which contain neither. Ancl as we thus strive to shield, edu- cate and develop thein, we fall in line with the army already marshalled against wrong, and may take their watchword for our own, and join in the shout, "all the world for Jesus," ALL MEN • Young, old or middle-aged, who find them- selves nervous, weak and exhausted, who are broken clown from'exoess or over -work, resulting in many of the following symp- toms :--Mental depression, premature old age, loos of vitality, loss of memory, bad dreams, dimness of sight, palpitation of the heart, er.,issions, lack of energy, pain in the kidneys, headache, pimples on the face and body, itching or peculiar sensation about the scrotum, wastingof the organs, dizzi- ness, specks before the eyes, twitching of the muscles, eyelids and elsewhere, bash- fulness, deposits in the mine. loss of will power, tenderness of the scalp and spine, weak and flabby muscles, desire to sleep, failure to be rested by sleep, constipation, dullness of hearing, loss voice, desire for solitude, excitability of temper, sunken eyes, surrounded with r.EArEN CIRCLES, oily looping skin, etc., are all symptoms of ner- vous debility, that lead to insanity, unless cured.

N A if TUltICIkin BRUTES, The Turkish authorities seem bound to exterminate the ,Armenia411s, and advices from the east say that thou sands have been massacred, neither age, sex nor ebnditioh being spared, A letter sent to the Earl of Kimberly, England's secretary of state for foreign affairs,, tells a horrible tale of blood, It has just/been received, though dated Oct. 9, and says: The so-called rebellion of the Armen inns in 1893 was a got -up affair, for the repression of which the chief magnate got a decoration, This year the Kurds carried off Ar- menian oxen, and the Armenians' ap- peal for their restoration was refused A fight ensued, two Kurds were killed and three were wounded. - The Kurds immediately carried their dead before the governor, declaring that the Armenian soldiers had over- run the land, killing and plundering the Kurds. This furnished a pretext for massing the troops from far and near. The troops were commanded by a pasha and a rnarshall, and were hurried to the dist riot. The pasha is said to have hung from his breast, after reading it to his soldiers, an order from Constan- tinople to cut the Armenians up root and branch, and adjuring them to do so if they loved their king and govern- ment. Nearly all these things were related • here and there by soldiers who took part in the horrible carnage- Some of them, weeping, claim that the Kurds did more, and claim that they only obeyed the orders of others. It is said that 100 fell to each of them to dispose of. ' No compassion was shown to age or sex, even by the regular soldiery, not even when the victims fell suppli- ant at their feet. Six thousand to 10,030 persons met such a fate as even the darkest ages of darkest Africa hardly witnessed, for there women and tender babes might at least have had a chance of a life of slavery, while here womanhood and innocency were but a mockery before the cruel lust that ended its debauch by stabbing women to death with the bayonet, while tender babies were im- paled with the same weapon on their dead mothers' breasts, or perhaps seized by the hair to have their heads lopped off with the sword. In one place 300 or 400 women, after being forced to serve vile purposes by the merciless soldiery, were hacked to pieces by sword and bayonet in the valley below. • In another place some 200 weeping and wailing women begged for com- passion, falling at the commander's feet, but the bloodthirsty wretch, after ordering their violation, directed his soldiers to dispatch them in a similar way. In another place some sixty young brides and the more attractive girls were crowded into a church, and after violation were slaughtered, and human gore was seen flowing from the church door. At another place still, a large com- pany, under the lead of their priest, fell down before them, begging for compassion, and averring that they had nothing to do with the culprits.

They said, " Why should we deny Christ? We are no more than these," pointing to the mangled forms of their husbands and brothers, "kill us, too," and they did so. A great effort was made to save one beauty, but three or four quer relied over her, and she sank down like her sisters. Another letter says that some of the regular• soldiers themselves admit that they killed 100 persons each in a fiend- ish manner, and that outrage was fol- lowed by the bayonet. Twenty or - thirty Armenian villages, it would seem, have been wholly destroyed, and some persons were burned to death' with kerosene, in their own houses. A further report says that the real offense of the Armenians lies in the fact that they are Christians. and also speaks briefly of another nam. acre at Sassun, where 2,000 Armenians were snowed down by artillery. The bodies of the dead were left unburied- and an outbreak of cholera has resulted. The British consul at Constantinople has taken hold of the matter with a vigor which surprises the Turks, and it is hoped that a repetition of the massa- cres will not be recorded.

After eating a hearty meal James Batluvelt, a well -to -do -farmer, living near Sharon Center, Pa., went out un- der a tree on his farms and shot him- self through the head. Last year tin- der the same tree he accidentally kill- ed his 3 -year-old son by running over him with a snowing machine. A few years before he accid'ntally killed his brother near the same spot. • These two accidents. together with the loss of his wife, who died last week, leav- ing a family of nine children, drove hi in to suicide.

Mr Pringle, therefore, believes that it would be unfair and unwise to run a Patron candidate against him. No Patron in Oxford or anywhere else, he says,\ could do half as much as Sir Richard towards carrying out the Patron platform.' "In no consti- tuency ought we to run a candidate where the present sitting member, whether Grit or Tory, is in full accord with our plat- form, and will pledge himself thereto, un- less he can be successfully superseded by a Patron of more ability and reliability. Mr Pringle 1s very well known to the farmers of Ontario as a staunch champion of their rights, and an able writer on subjects of special interest to them, and his words are weighty.
