On account of serious illness in the family of the County Master of South Huron,he was unable to be Pres- ent. The Grand Master's address, the Grand Secretary and Treasurer's re- ports proved the Order in the mos';mos';prosperous condition in its history. . Hon. N. C. Wallace, M. P., Grand Secretary Birmingham, and the old officers were re-elected. The atten- dance was large. The official report of the meeting will be issued in a short time. men- the ty of the was very large. Constance, Holmes- ville, Varna, Londeaboro and Clin- ton, were well • represented. The church service over, Rey. Mr. Fiddle,, the Rector, welcomed the Fores- ters to St. Paul's church, and in- vited them to come oftener. The text was from St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, 6th chapter, 2nd verse :— "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." These words were chosen for the text because they were appropriate and one of the principles of the Canadian Order of Foresters. If they were not their motto they could not, he knew, have chosen, a better one. We are here on earth to bear one another's burdens, while at the same time we have in- dividual burdens which others. could not bear and could not be expected to bear. Every man is responsible to his Maker for his own sins ; we must of necessity suffer alone and die alone. It is a grand thing to have such an Order as the Foresters to soothe the dyiug moments of dear 'friends, to smooth the ;cold brow and close the dying eyes; but after all we must die alone, each must bear their own burden in this respect. He exhorted the mem- bers to be mindful that they did not allow their responsibility to the Order to be placed on the shoulders of their fellow -members. A great number tak- ing an individual interest and share in the work makes the work light. Many Brotherhoods to -day are attempting to fulfil the law of Christ in an apostolic way. The work of all these Brother- hoods is too large for the church. Each Brother or family have a claim, a right, to participate in the benefits, and the good work that has already been accomplished goes to prove that these societies will long be needed. "Bear ye one another's -tlurdens" is a positive injunction; you are to take hold and assist, not to add burdens to others. The intemperate man adds burdens to his wife and family; the young man who lounges and wastes his dine places a burden on his family the wife that is extravagant places a burden on the head of the family. In case of sickness the Foresters take hold and relieve the burden in a Christianm and financial way. They at once re- lieve the great burden in time of care, sorrow, and in case of death they step in and provide. fur the, widow and orphan. There, is a great consolation in having sympathy at the sick' bed ; they even carry it to the grave. If you recognize this as the work of Christ he Christians, learn Christ and his power of resurrection. The man who does not know Christ is out of place in a sick room. It is a qualification necessary in all lodge rooms and in all churches. To be good Foresters the members must know Christ. The Order is purely Canadian and comprises nearly 20,000 members. 'It is in ex- cellent standing as regards the bene- ficiary, department.��They have on hand $318,000 to cover death claims, and $450,000 for sick and funeral bene- fits. This. gives solidity to the Society. Of the total sum $100,000 is in ac- cordance with law invested with the Dominion Government,' and the balance on good security in various municipalities. The beneficiary de- partment gives a reasonable stun weekly in case of sickness, while at death $1,000 or $2,000 is paid, the major - y being insured for the former. A oung man starting out in life might sin a competence if he lived to a good age without misfortune ; in early s we had to trust to fortune, but day he can provide $1,000 very easily his wife and family. The invest - t is safe. It only means, by mem- hip, five cents each, wlftle five that amount would be willingly by the individual members. He tly advised them to go on and ue the good wook of burden- , and not forget the burdens of ellow-men.

The Canadian Order of Foresters was established in Clinton in the fall of 1879, fifteen years ago. The charter members were Arthur Cook, John Smith, W. H. Cook, D. Dickenson, Capt. Sheppard, the late Peter Robb, H. Stevens, and several others. Since the inauguration of the Canadian body here many of the faith have passed to the great beyond. New blood has from year to year taken the place of those who have been laid at rest or of those who in the natural order of things worthily fill and pass from office. •'Progress" seems to he a watchword of the Cana- dian Order of Foresters throughout the Dominion and the members of Court Maple Leaf No. 10 never weary in looking after the welfare of the in- 1ividulal members or as a body. The membership of the local Court now numbers one hundred and twenty-flve and of late has been making a rapid increase, the majority of those joining being youngmen. It cannot be de- i` ied than the Foresters are doing a `/noble and Godly work. And members who are unfortunrtely placed on the benefit list through aceiderft or other causes are not in,the position of pau- pers. They demand merely as a right certain benefits and receive exactly what the constitution allows them. In the case of death the widow and fami- ly or friends are placed exactly on the same basis—the return or benefit re- ceived is not charity. The investment is a purely business one and a check for, sick benefits, nurse, medical attend aside, &c., along with $1,000 or $2,000 "is promptly paid. All these good points and noble accessories being con- sidered, it is not to he wondered at that the attendance of members and friends at St. Paul's church last Sunday Mullett.

A. rousing meeting of supporters of Mr. Weisthiller in this town was held in the Council Hall Friday evening. It is admitted that a large Conserva- tive vote in the town ensures Mr. Weismiller's election, and the numbers and enthusiasts of those present sur- prised even the most sanguine of the Conservative workers, and leaves no doubt of Conservative success. On motion of J. S. Roberts, seconded by Dr. Bethune, it was resolved unani- mously that this meetiug, being fully satisfied that Mr. Weisiniller, the Liberal -Conservative candidate for South Huron, is a fit and proper person to carry the Conservative standard to victory; hereby pledges him aur hearty and undivided support.

THE SUBJECT' ON SINCERE CONGRATULA- TIONS FROM HER FRIENDS. WAS THOUGHT TO BE SINKING INTO A HOPELESS DECLINE—HOW HER RES- TORATION TO HEALTH WAS BROUGHT ABOUT—AN EXAMPLE WORTHY OP IMITATION BY OTHER YOUNG LADIES. From the Sherbrooke Oa catte. A number of reports have reached the Gazette office of marvelous cures effected by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To satisfy a legitimate public curiosity about it fact which, if true, should be proclaimed to suffering humanity, the Gazette requested a reporter to go to Rock Forest and in- vestigate the facts in the case of Miss Maggie Simpson, who was said to have been restored from a very low condi- tion. The reporter took the afternoon train for Rock Forest and, after a short walk from the C. P. R. station, reached Mr. James Simpson's, home, situated on a well cultivated farm beautifully located on the banks of the Magog River. Upon communicating the purpose of his visit the reporter was informed by Mrs. Simpson that her dant rhtei• was, at that time, absent at the Sherbrooke Convent where he might easily inter- view her. She spoke with the warmth of genuine gratitude of.her dough er's cure, strongly corroborating the acts obtained hater from the young lady her- self. She told him she lost no oppor- tunity to recommend the Pink ills, • and that, as an immediate result, Miss Delaney, a near neighbor of theirs, had also been recently rescued from prema- ture decline by their use. Upon his return to Sherbrooke the reporter called upon Miss Maggie Simp- son at the Congregation de Notre Dante Convent. Miss Simpson is a handsome blonde of seventeen years, of preposses- sing manners and winsome address, whose clear, rosy complexion, fullround merry face and bright eyes are a source of delight to the beholder. Miss Simp- son had no hesitation in candidly stat- ing what had brought her to her pres- ent happy state of health, of which she is the very picture. She expressed her- self ,as follows:— "Since the. age of fourteen up to last,spring I had been gradually 'losing health and strength, without our doctor being able to do anything to help are.. For a year preceding my case got to be desperate. I was constantly troubled with headache; my lips were of a livid paleness and sometimes perfectly blue tor want of blood; I had to gasp for breath upon the least exertion; 1 had become a living Skelton and had lost my strength to the. extent that, I was unable to walk upstairs. I had become discouraged when my doctor could not offer any•relief and I found that l was rapidly sinking into a hopeless decline. 'A friend recommended Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, but I had tried in vain so many different kinds of medi- cine that I lost confidence in any furth- er experiment. Very fortunately my mother insisted upon my trying the pills. It was but a short time before I could see that they were doing me good. I continued to use them with- out interruption, and when I had taken sfx boxes I was completely restored to. my former perfect health and strength. My mother, however, insisted that 1 should continue the use of the pills until I had used nine boxes. These I had 6nisl;ed taking some tins i last ,summer. "When 1 returned to the convent, tit the opening this autumn after a long absence through my illness; those gij'ls who had previously known me were As- tonished at the transforuta.Iion that had taken place. I frequently have occasion to be aniused by the amaze- ment of former friends and acquaint- ances that I now chance to meet.' I can tell you I don't lose an opportuni- ty of recommending Pink Pills to them. I always keep a box on hand, and whenever any of my convent friends are ill I am always ready with a sure remedy. When the girls, as they often do, make the remark to me "Oh, •Maggie, you are a fortunate girl to be so happy and jolly," I tell them I am making up for lost time." The gratifying results following the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in the case of Miss Simpson, prove that they are unequalled as a blood builder and nerve tonic. In the case of young girls who are pale or sallow, listless. troubled with a fluttering or palpita- tion of the heart, weak and easily tired, no time should he lost in taking a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which will speedily enrich the blood, and bring a rosy glow of health to the cheeks. These pills are a positive cure for all troubles arising from a vitiated condition of the blood or a shattered nervous system, such as locomotor atoxic, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, the tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration, all diseases depending upon humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific tor trou- bles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. In the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over- work, or excesses of whatever nature. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are manu- factured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y. and are sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.89. and away be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company at either addreee. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treattnent compar- tively inexpensive as compared with other remefies or medical treatment. To the Editor of The News -Record. SIR,—In Mr. Garrow's letter to the Clinton Convention, at which he was nominated, there will be found the fol- lowing ;—"I will if nominated give a general support to the present Govern- ment, so long as it will introduce and favor liberal measures, but I also wish to be at liberty to favor measures which I consider liberal whether they emanate from the Government side or the opposition." Now this reads all right, but, as Artenxus Ward once said, "ritings are all rite and may he maid to lead or miss lead, but Acts tole the weigh the wind blosc." Now to test the truth of the lamented one's pecu- liar sentence in connection with the present contest in West Huron let us glance at the records of the Ontario House, for one day, the 30th of April, 1894. On that day there were seven- teen divisions ; on these Reformer and Patron MacNaughton voted with the Government three times, with the op- position ten, and abstained from voting on four. Reformer and P. P. A. Mc- Callum voted with the Government twice, with the opposition nine times, and refrained from voting on six. Straight Reformer Kirkwood voted with the Government eleven times. with the opposition four, and dict not vote twice. Straight Reformer Lock- hart voted with the Government four- teen times, and with the opposition three. Straight Reformer Snider vot- ed with the Government thirteen times, with the opposition once, and refrained from voting three times. In- dependent Reformer J. T. Garrow vot- ed With the Government on every mo- tion, namely, seventeen times. After studying the portion of Mr. Garrow"s letter the lamented one's quaint sent- ence and the record of parliament of the 30th of April, 1804, I have become considerably mixed up, and would therefore ask you. Sir, or some of your readers, to explain for my edification why I am so mixed. I write to yon, Sir, because not being in accord with the Patron platform I had become convinced that an Inde- pendent candidate would he the best, and it was while I was arguing in this line that a Patron showed me the copy of the. House proceedings of the 30th April, which copy has considerably up- set me as it has forced me against' my will to become a believer in Artemis Ward. Yours, • A TILLER OF THE SOIL. Colborne, June 2nd, 1894. P. S.—In case the copy shown me might not be correct will you kindly search the recordbefore placing this in your widely circulated ppa er. AT.olTHE 5. (NOTR.—We have taken the pains to look up the official records of the House for April 80th. The document our correspondent has gained his in- formation from is correct. On that date there were SEVENTEEN divisions. In EVERY CASE Mr. Garrow voted with the Government. Mr. McNaughton voted TEN times with Mr. Meredith, three times with the Government, and was absent or did not vote on four divisions. Mr. McCallum voted with Mr. Meredith on NINE of these divis- ions; with the Government twice, while on six divisions his vote is not recorded. The statements of our cor- respondent are correct.—ED.
