Sabbath School aonvgntion.
Stunday School and Epworth
League Oonvention of the Cloderich
District of the Alethodist church WAS
held in the Methodist )church, Sea -
forth, on Thursday of last week.
The three sessions were well attended,
and the morning and afternoon periods
were notable for the freedona which
prevailed with regard to the discussion
on the various topics; the evening ser-
vice was an especially good one., tho
singing of the choir, being greatly en-
joyed by' the audience.
MORNING SESSION.
The convention opened with prayer
and praise, the devotional exercises
being under the charge of Rev. W.
Smyth, of Ontario St. church, Clinton.
Following this was a paper by Rev
Rev Mr Leech, ou "The influence of the
present method of S. S. teaching on
the doctr'in'al knowledge and spiritual
condition of the scholars." He approv-
ed of the advancement in the methods
of S. S. teaching, and the many good
helps used, but feared the latter were
taking the place of the c.;itechism,
which should not be, as it ie the best
help in doctrinal teaching, and in pro-
portion as we fail in this we will lose
in spiritual influence ou the life and
character of the scholar.
Mr J. C. Stoneman gave a fine paper
on "Discouraging elements in 5. S.
work, and how to deal with them."
Some of the discouragement's are lack
of funds and accommodation for work;
difficulty of getting good,earnest leach -
ere; indifference of parents, and schol-
ars leaving the school when they have
come to the age of 14or17years. How
to overcome thea:—lnterest yourself
and others so that funds and accornmo-
daticn shall be supplied. Teachern
should be converted, and as Christ has
saved them, their aim should he to
bring their scholars to Christ. Parents
should see that their children prepare
the lesson, and then come with them
to the S. S. To avoid scholars leaving
the school. as far as possible the class
should be kept together, have no. more
promotions than necessary, that the
interest of scholars and teacher may
be continuous.
The topic, "Order in the Sunday
School, its importance, how best to se-
cure and maintain it," vas admirably
dealt with by Rev. Mr Thibadeau. The
discussion on all these topics was very
spirited and the con yen tiun weregr•eat-
ly benefitted thereby.
AFTERNOON SESSION
After the usual opening exercises
the chairman called upon Mr Jacob
Taylor, of Clinton, to speak upon
"The possibilities of the Epworth
League,' and he gave an excellent ad-
dress on the subject, showing that its
possibilities were practically %inlitufted,
and depended only on the willingness
of the individual.
Miss Washington then claimed the
attention of the Convention on her
heart work—"Junior Leagnes," which
was particularly interesting and gave
rise to considerable discussion in favor
thereof.
Following this Rev. Mr Irvine spoke
upon "The pledge, what it. is, what it
means." Mr Irvine defined the word
pledge and analysed the Active )nem
begs' pledge and showed the beauty
end necessity of the several clauses.
He dealt'especially upon the matter
of proportionate giving. He defined
the Associate section as the place for
the unconverted and for seekers; here
they come under the influence of the
tried Active members, and by this
means are led to tike the higher step.
Nothing could be successful without a
pledge—whether in military, commer-
cial, social or religious life. It was, he
said, absolute for Christians to render
it. Discussion followed and many use-
ful hints and methods , were received
by the delegates.
EVENING SESSION.
Song service, after which the subject
"Who should do the work of the Sab-
bath School, and who ehould be the
scholars," by Rev Mr Fear. He nar•r•a-
tated some of the leading questions Of
the day, and their importance to their
several countries or spheres, and con-
trasted with heal S. S. work and its
imp.:r•tance to the church. He took
the topic up negatively and positively.
Negative, things they should not do:
1, The unconverted should not, as a
rule, he actively engaged in the work
of pointing the young to Christ. 2,
Those who have no love for the work,
as under their guidance the work will
drift into mere routine and formality.
3 The work should not. he in the hands
of those in whom the children or peo
pie have no confidence.
Positive, things they should do:—
Those whose hearts are filled with love,
whose lives are consecrated to Christ's
services. 2, Those who are able to grasp
the truths of the lessons, and who
would trust in the Holy Spirit to apply
these truths to the hearts of the child-
ren 3, Those who have a love for the
work, There was no room for drones.
As to who should be the scholars,
Mr Fear said that all the people of our
churches, from the youngest to the old-
est should form this class. Ho strong-
ly advised parents to set the example
of Sunday School attendance, and tor
them to bringtheir children.
Rev. Mr Ege addressed the conven-
tion, his topic being "How inay the
church secure the greatest benefit
from the Epworth League."
He gave
a finely illustrated speech on this sub-
ject. Mr Edge said that where you
found a class of people taking a posi-
tive delight in Christ's work, there you
found the highest kind of spiritual life.
He believed in the pledge. but said
there was more grandeur and import-
ance in a person who did not require
it constantly brought before hire .iso.
stimulate him, but who rather uncon-
sciously delighted in God, in His truths
and in his work. Intimate relation-
ship between League and pastor was
essential. Intimate relation between
the older and younger members of the
church was also an essential feature.
He lamented the chasm which existed
here, and said this relationship must
be as close as it is possible to be for
the church to get the benefit.
Mr H. Foster gave an exceedingly
interesting and instr'aictive paper, en-
titled "Youth as a factor in the world's
Evangelization," and he dealt, with it
in an admirable manner.
A qnestion drawer was conducted by
the Rev J. W. Holmes, and it is need-
less to say that his answers gave uni-
versal satisfaction to the large assem-
bly present.
Farmers are warned against a new
swindle designed to entrep the unwary.
A stranger comes along and asks per-
mission to affix a bill on a fence, and
finally offers $1 for the exciuisve use of
the fence for the purpose. The farmer
generally accepts and signs a receipt
for $1, which conies back to him
through a bank in the shape of a prom-
issory note for a large amount.

HORSES I N THE WEST.
Wm. E. Curtis, a splendid authority
in the Chicago Record, gives the status
of the horse in the Rocky Mountain
region as follows :—
"A hundred head of ordinary, un-
broken ranch horses were sold in Den-
ver. the other day for $90 and the
freight charges. They were brought
in from Wyoming by a speculator,
who found he could not get rid of them,
and let them go at this price in re-
sponse to aL jocular proposition made
hum by a main at the St. James' Hotel.
A well-known horse dealer here tells
ore that Lux & Miller, of California,
Who have several ranches in that State,
also, i:: Utah and Idaho, recently drove
250 head of good horses into the Snake
River Valley, Idaho, and turned them
loose thea e for the benefit of whomso-
ever it iii ight concern, rather than feed
theta during the coming winter."
This doesn't look as though theArneri.
can people are suffering from the
ordinary horse the Canadian fanners
has to sell.

Froin the Brookville neuorder.
Readers of 'the Recorder have no
doubt followed with interest the many
instances related in these columns of
recoveries—sometimes of a very re-
markable nature, of • persons affected
with diseases of different kinds, by the
use of Dr. Williaws' Pink fills. Apart
from the. marvellous recoveries, the
accounts were interesting to the people
of Brockville and vicinity from the fact
that this town is the home of the Dr.
Williams' Co., and the place where the
celebrated inedioine is made. The
family of Mr. Thomas Humble, resid-
ents on Park street north, furnish a
case of such recovery no less notable
than many proviously published, that
will be of particular interest in this
connunity. Mr. Humble is an em-
ployee of Bowie & Co., brewers, and is
well known and highly respected by
many of our citizens. The Member of
his family whose cure we have
mentioned, is his eldest daughter
Carrie, a girl of about nineteen years
of age. The facts in the case were first
brought to the notice of the Recorder
by Mr. Win. Birks, a well known
merchant tailor, who on one occasion
assisted in removing Miss Humble,
who was attacked with a fit of extI'eme
weakness while attending sotvice in
the George street Methodist church.
The other evening a reporter visited
the home of the fancily in question,
and upon stating his mission to Mrs.
Humble, the story of the case was
briefly related, not however, with any
desire for notoriety, but rather a deter-
mination on her part that it should be
given if it might in the least be of
benefit to others similarly afflicted.
According to her mother's story, Miss
Hurnble's • illness dates back to the
summer of 1889. Her trouble was
extreme weakness and exhaustion,
caused by weak and watery blood.
She was subject to severe headaches,
heart palpitation, and other symptoms
which follow a depraved condition of
the blood. Often while down street on
business the eatteg lady would become
so exhausted by the Welk as to be
scarcely able to get horue, and she was
frequently confined to her bed for
weeks at a time, and had to have her
meals carried to her. For a period of
over three years she was almost con-
tinually under medical treatrnent.
The doctors' medicine would prove of
benefit while being taken, but as soon
as the treatment was discontinued, the
patient would become worse. Her
friends were much discouraged and
feared she would not recover. In the
winter of 1893 Mrs. Humble read of a
similar case where a cure was brought
about by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills: This prompted her to give there
a trial in her daughter's case, who was
at the time so weak that she could nut
leave her room. The result was
remarkable. There was soon a narked
improvement, and by the time two
hexes were used Miss Humble appear-
ed to be so Hauch recovered that the
treatment was discontinued. But it
later became. evident that the patient
had not been fully restored for after a
few months there was a return of the
trouble. Miss Htti mile was sent on a
visit to some friends in the United
States in the hope that a chance of air
would prove beneficial, but she return-
ed to her home worse than when she
went away. Her mother was then
determined to give Dr. Williams' fink
Pills a further trial, and the result
proved most gratifying, as the girl's
health has been completely restored,
and she is to -day as well and strong as
any girl of her age. Mrs. Humble told
the st'a'y of her daughter's illness and
recovery with an impressiveness that
carried conviction of its absolute
truthfulness. Miss Humble also corro-
borated her mother's statements, and
they can he vouched for by ninny of
her friends in the church, the Sunday
school and others.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an unfail-
ing cure for all troubles resulting from
poverty of the blood or shattered nerves,
and where given a fair trial they never
fail in cases like the above related.

WILY HE LEFT '1 HEM.
Canada has had few more sterling
citizens than the late Robert Hay, of
Toronto. A strong minded Scotch -
man and a strong liberal, a toiler
among the toilers and the soul of
honor, he rose from the humblest posi-
tion to be one of the principal business
men of Toronto. '
When he left the Liberals Mr. Hay
gave his reasons publicly as follows :
"In years past as many of you are
aware, I was a reformer. I supported
that party because I believed in the
professions its leaders made. I have
left it because I have found those
leaders unfaithful to their professions
in every important respect, especially
in their extravagance and wasteful
management of the public funds, and
because I arra satisfied that, the corn -
the
merctal policy, to which y are now
pledged, will, if persisted in, prove
ruinous to our best interests and de-
stroy the future of Canada."
Interesting To Farmers,
A LEVEL HEADED VOTE.
An American Exchange has the fol-
lowing to say with regard to the com-
ing election in Canada :
"The Liberals declare that they hope
to win : they are probably only whistl-
ing, however, to keep up their. courage.
Their chief planks are reciprocity with
this country (the United States) and
tariff reform. As to the first they
might as well drop it ; nobody here
wants it and everybody over there
with a trace of intelligence ought to
know by this time that they never
can get it except upon such terms as
would make them emetically one with
US.
"As to tariff reform our party has
tried that here. The liberals will find
that while a few excitable men are in-
fluenced by their appeals to class inter-
ests, the great mass of the sensible
level headed voters, there are here, of
farm or city, of field and workshop,
will vote to maintain a reasonable pro-
tection—which Canada has at the pres-
ent time. To our minds the liberals
are an unfortunate party whose cloud
of misfortune has not yet spent its
strength. We wish they would win
and carry out their policy and in a,
very short time the manufacturers of
this country would' have a monopoly
of Canadian trade."

Benjamin Franklin said as fol-
low, :—
"Every manufacturer encouraged in
a country makes part of a market for
provisions within ourselves and saves
ro much money to the country as must
otherwise he exported to pay for the
manufactures imported. It is well
known that wherever a manufacturer
is established which employs a number
of hands it raises the value of land in
the neighboring country all around it.
It is therefore to the interest of our
farmers and owners of land to en-
courage
rncourage our manufactories in porfer•
ence to foreign ones."
