' WEST HURON'S WAR HORSE
The Goderich Signal this week says :
The return of M. C. Carnerou to Gode-
rich has been asource of regret to those
of his opponents who were of opinion
that the old warhorse of the Huron
tract would not again be in the race for
West Huron. Speaking on the subject
to several of his friends Monday last,
he said:—"My health was never better
than it is to -day, I ata pleased to state,
and I shall certainly see to it that the
riding will not go by default, so far as
the Liberal party is concerned." When
asked if he would be the candidate, he
replied, with a merry twinkle in his
•eye. "That will be for the Reformers of
West Huron to decide in their conven-
tion, which I understand will presently
be held."
The many friends of Mr Cameron,
Liberal and Conservative, will rejoice
to learn that. the old chief has renewed
his vigor, and that he is not lacking in
his desire to see West Huron once
more placed in the Liberal column.
He has always been where the brunt of
the political battle was, and all will re-
joice that, physicially and mentally, he
is able to once again strike trenchant
blows in the cause of Liberalism.
The Reform convention will, we un-
derstand, be held in a short time in
Dungannon, and when that conven-
tion meets, and the stalwarts ot Ash-
field and the Wawanoshes meet their
co -delegates from the Southren tier of
municipalit'ea, there will be little doubt
as to the selection of the Man for West -
Huron.
Church Chimes.
St. Paul's Rectory is undergoing
sorne much-needed repairs.
The Baptist Young People's Union
will be led by Mr D. Prior next Tiles -
day evening.
Special services which have been
in progress in Rattenbury Street
Church will he discontinued this week.
The regular services in connection
with the Baptist church will he resum-
ed next Lord's day. The building has
undergone a splendid inside renovation)
which has added much to its appear-
ance.
Rev. W. W. Baer, of Vancouver, oc-
cupied the pulpit of Rattenbury street
church, on Sunday morning last; the
sermon was the result of a great deal
of thought, was clearly presented, was
logical, and one of which any minister
might feel proud.
The special services in Ontario St.
church are increasing in interest, and
now that the weather is more favor-
able the attendance is increasing every
night. There are indications that
much good will be done. The services
will be continued for sorne time.
St. Paul's church was largely attend-
ed on Sunday last, many not regular
attendants being anxious to hear the
Bishop of Huron. and they heard two
sermons which were eloquent exposi-
tions of gospel ti uth. That of the
evening on "The reserve forces of the
Gospel," was particularly inspiring,
and should give all Christians greater
<onfi.lence than ever in the abundant
power of the • .Imighty to "save to the
11 ttei-inosi."
rardhne Methodist char<'h has
('01)5ider'ably in debt, and in order
to reduce it, Rev .J. Livingstone asked
for a special crash collection of Sil,(NNI.
This is a pretty sid't collection, hot the
Methodists of Kincardine showed their
gcnerosit.y by making 1lie • ailment
$10.15. The Kincardine Review winds
rip its report of the [natter by saying :
As a pastor and preacher Rev Mr Liv-
ingstone stands in the front row of
Canadian Met hodism.
The ladies of the W.F.M,S. of the
Ontario St. church held 1 heir second
quarterly meeting on Tuesday after-
noon. The meeting was in the forst
of an at home, several invited guests
being present. After the regular busi-
ness had been transacted readings
were given by Mrs J. W. Irwin and
Mrs McMath, Mrs Bruce and MIS Pat-
tison each sang a solo, and Misses
Goodwin and Smyth a duet. After
the program a short time was spent in
a social way, during which refresh-
ments were served. The meeting was
a very pleasant one. The ladies of
this Auxiliary are preparing a quanti-
ty of clothing and bedping to send to
some mission field.
Exeter
DIRMIRSED. — Considerable interest
was manifested in the case. of Load -
man v. Snell, which came up for hear-
ing before Iwo magistrates on Monday
last. The case took its rise from the
recent failure of Wesley Snell, in
which Loadman charged Snell with
false .retences. The magistrates, aft°
laea ng all the evidence, dismisee
ase,the plaintiff to ay costs.
Sabbath School Convention,
The fourth annual convention of the
Auburn Union Sabbath Sohool Association
was held in the Presbyteeian church,
Auburn, on Feb. 26th. The day was all
that could have been desired; in attendance
and interest was equal to if not superior to
any former contention; during the after-
noon and evening the ohuroh was literally
packed, a' union choir composed of the
choirs of the different churches added
greatly to the success of the convention.
he meeting was opened by the Rev. R.
Henderson reading portions of scripture
from the books of Isaiah and St. John, the
Rev. Mr Beaker leading in prayer, followed
by singing.
Mr D. E. Munro, presidentf the as -
so iation, Dr. McLachlin of the Presby-
terian ohuroh and Mr J. P. Brown of the
Methodist ohuroh extended a hearty wel-
com to the delegates arid briefly referred to
the v ork we were engaged in. The pre-
sident appointed a nominating committee,
consisting of Dr. McLachlin, Rev. R. Hen-
derson, G. L. Sturdy and Rev. Mr Becker.

Mr Dawson, of Kincardine, who was
president, gave a few remarks on the Sab-
bath school work, strongly insisting cn
parents to see, that their children should
attend Sabbath school, and early instil. in-
to their youthful minds a reverence for the
work of God.
The nominating committee reported as
follows:—Rev. Mr Higley, president; Rev.
11r Seeker, vice-president and John Wil-
son, secretary and treasurer; that the ex-
ecutive Committee consists of the Pasters
and Sabbath school Superintendents; that
each school in the union have a meeting
about the fat of December, to select sub-
jects and appoint two delegated, those
delegates to meet and prepare the program
for the next convention; that the name of
each scho'l and superintendent be on the
program; that it be printed and copies sent
to each school at least two weeks before the
Convention; on motion, the report was
adopted.
A short discussion took place regarding
time of convention etc. It was finally
agreed to have the next convention on the
3rd Wednesday in February of 1896, to be
held in the Methodist church; that the
secretary notifythe different superintend -
ant of schools, regarding the meeting, in
December.
The afternoon session was opened with
devotional exercises.
"Mutual relation of church and Sabbath
school," was spoken to by Mr J. Kernighan.
What is the church ? There are two
churches, the visible and the invisible; the
former what man 'see, the latter known
only to God. Man can only deal with the
visible church, in which the Sabbath school
is included. We are often inclined to
magnify the office of Sabbath school, but it
fe only part and parcel of the church.
Quoting frcm the scriptures, the various
gifts and offices of those in the church,
Ephesians 4, 11, "And he gave some apos-
tles, and some prophets, and some evan-
gelists, and some pastors and teachers."
Teaching is the work of the Sabbath school.
The relation "of the church and S. S. is
similar to the relation of parent and child.
The church is fitted for its duty, that of
imparting knowledge, but tho church can
never assume the duty of parents. We
often hear Sabbath schools complaining of
the difficulty of procuring teachers, surely
there is something wrong in that church.
If we are Christ's, and partakers of that
hope, surely we can lead others to thst
same hope. It is the duty of the church
tc provide suitable teachers, as the apostle
states, some are apostles, some are teach•
ere, but we often find some negligent of
their duty. The church comprehends
every agency of good, everything which
tends to ennoble the human family. To
the family and church belong the duty of
training the child for a spiritual state.
S'ich a diversity of opinions exist regarding
religious beliefs, it would be wrong for the
state to interfere, and no particular one
should ever receive aid from the State to
educate their children; enough that the
State provide a secular education to one
and all alike. It is the duty of each church
to see that the doctrines of such ohuroh are
carefully taught to the S.S. scholars. The
church should be particularly oareful in the
selection of the library, in foot many of
the libraries of the present time are sup-
plied with volumes nothing short of novels,
the grains of truth contained therein hardly
perceptible. The children should ever be
loyal to the chnroh.
"Relation of Sabbath school pupils to the
public services of the church" was intro-
duced by Rev. W. Baugh. The children a
part of the church, and a very important
Dart, tiler( rose they c right to be taken to the
church, this is a natural relationship, as
they are a part, it is neccessary and es-
sential that the children should bep resent
their proper r
arsphere,
p p rn foot they are

we See the seed sown, when? at the proper
THE CLINTON NEW ERA
time so youth is the season when the
heart is most susceptible of iuupressions, to
sow the seed,}e hiob shall bear fruit through-
out an eternity; if the habit of attending
ohuroh be only formed in youth, it is al.
moat a sure conclusion that when the habit
is once formed it will etreugiheu from
youth to nanbood, from manhood to old
age. 1f we sow an act, we reap a habit,
sow a habit we reap a destiay; therefore if
we early forts the habit of taking children
to ohuroh, this habit will strengthen with
age: We find a•large number of children
not taken to church, the Sabbath school
only holding one•third of the young up to
15 years of age. The Sabbath school work-
ing independent of the ohuroh, the great
cause of this, only a few of the children at-
tending the church. 2. How to attain this
relationship, Insist that an attendance on
the public service of the church is more
important than the Sabbath school, not to
sacrifice the church to the Sabbath schoo';
early instil into the youthful hearts that in
the t ion:Amary, we are in the presence of
God, and our duty there is to worship him;
teachers not to neglect the house of God;
preachers to blame, by preparing too much
for the elder members of the church, over-
looking the young, they ought to furnish all
with spiritual food every time assembled
for worship.
Committee of the whole, led by the Rev
R. Henderson. 1. The ideal Sabbath
school, all the congregation in the school
studying God's word. How to get them
there ? Personal visitation, bring the mat-
ter before each individual alone; let each
and all feel that they are of enough im•
portanoe to secure your attention. By all
means never neglect a solitary prayer on
their behalf, or along with them; showing
them their duty in return for the blessings
and privileges they enjoy. To procure
suitable teachers, they ought to receive
normal training. In our day school such
are employed, why not in our S.S. The
teachers should treat those in adult clas.sea
properly. May be necessary to have ex-
aminations.
There was quite a discussion on this
topic, bringing out the ideas of a more
careful preparation of the lesson on behalf
of he teacher; more consecration to the
Master's aervice; a careful study of human
nature, that we may gain and keep the
confidence of the pupils; earnest and often
at the footatool of divine grace for guidance
in our duty. By so doing all would be able
to discharge their duty better, and in every
walk of life till the sphere which God in his
wisdom hasplaced them.
"Importance of Biole study in the light
of the present day" was discussed by Dr.
McLachlin. The world is growing better,
look at the mighty strides science has
made during the past few years; has the
church kept pace with the world in the on.
ward march; has the study of the Bible in-
creased in proportion. This is a question
especially impertant, because of gaining
the world for Christ. Look around where
we may, has the youth of our land a proper
veneration for the Bible? Is purity of
thoughts and actions on the increase, do we
still retain the filthy habits of our fore
fathers, do those from uncivilized lands, in
coming here see woeful defects in our
characters and habits, attributing to our
civilization what really belongs to our
depraved habits. This is an age of ideas,
therefore it requires a more careful duty to
think and act aright. Recent discoveries
in Bible lands, those lands a few years ago
comparatively unknown, from discoveries
in Egypt and Palestine, cities being forgotten
are brought to light, carefully confirming
the statements made in the Bible regarding
them. Parents neglecting the family altar.
Some much lighter reading indulged in at
the present time. A serious decline in
parental authority. Sadly changed from
the day's of Job. Age and length of days
was reputed to have wisdom. Now we do
often hear, "The young folks wait so and
so," Because falsely higher criticism and
authority of Scripture questioned, not
sceptics end infidels alone are among this
class, even some of our ministers and
professors are not behind the age of higher
reason; the good old book, which guided
our lore fathers in the narrow way, to
them it seems has lost power. The New
Testament has stood the ordeal and the
Old Testament will soon be found faultless.
The book will come towards them as an
emblem of a purer faith. A true know•
ledge of . he Bible is sadly deficient; how
often do we here the Bible wrongly quoted,
enough to convince us that a more thorough
knowledge of the Bible ie required in the
present age. The last and greatest reason
is, it ie the great medicine of the spirit, no
matter how far the sinner has wandered
from God, if he onlywill return, mercy and
pardon are held out to him; all ranks and
condition of men are equally welcome to
that life giving scource.
Mr Henderson, of Hensall, addressed the
children on "Christ feeding the multitude,"
that part which related to the little boy
who had the five barley loaves and two
small fishes. He was small, but none too
young and small to be of aeryice to God.
The Apostles and others passed: by and the
little lad need to assist in the miracle. A
short description of Palestine from quota-
tions of scripture and the productions of
that country. 2. Barley bread and small
fishes, therefore he must have been poor,
poverty no disgrace, enumerated some of
the greatest men who were poor such as
Moses, Elijah and Ferguson the astrono-
mer. 3. Thoughtful providing food in com-
ing to this desert place, reasons were given
by the class for the boy bringing the food
hero, such as to sell etc. The boy was
seriously inclined, to what thoughtlessness
leads to, he gave an example, the smoker
throwing down his paper leads to a fire.
The switchman leaving the switch open,
the result loss of property and life, The
boy was liberal, gave all to Jesus—how
would our speculators have acted. The
questions Mr Henderson suggested brought
out the ideas from the children, who give
every attention and answered the lesson
well. The sin of selfishness might have
been indulged in by this boy, but no, he
gave all to Jesus. God requires of 1/8 cur
time and money, all we have and are comes
from God. A brief illustration of a mother
sacrificing her life to save her child that
was given her.
The Rev. R. Henderson look charge of
the qn. stion drawer
Rev F. Swan introduced "The ideal life
of the child," the great object apd aim of
which is succesefully to prepare for the
object God has in view for us here, that we
may enjoy him throughout eternity. To
accomplish this end the parent must train
the child up for Jesus, a responsibility no
parent can delegate to another. It is an
important step in a Child's life, when, from
under the parent's eye he passes for a part
of each day to associate with others of his
own age, i the day and Sabbath school.

is a great and glorious one, to instill into
the youthful minds a love for all that is
good and noble, to train up the seeing
minds fors greater usefulness. We are
commanded to work and labor, but not in
vain. The lowly Christian does a noble
work. Some have'madegreat sacrifices foe
their follow man, such as Florence Night-
ingale, Grace Darling, and others. This is
a great work, and necessary. Trying to
gain the whole world for Christ, is carrying
out the last command of bim who left he

cursed world to die in our stead. This a
durable work, and will be blooming in eter-
nity when all else has paled into forgetful-
ness. There must be a time, apiece, a meth•
od. Now is the aooepted time, in youth,
before the heart becomes engrossed with
the deceitfulness of riches. Wherever time
and opportunity present themselves is the
place. Beware of your method of present-
ing the truth to another, do it intelligently
from the experience of your own heart.
Rely on the Divine Spirit for aid, then you
will be able to use the word skilfully and
intelligently. Trusting in the meritorious
death and suffering of the Son of God, not
mere intellectual faith, giving cool assent,
but with all the energies of our mind, soul
and spirit, rely on him implicitly,
After a vote of thanks to Revs J. Hen-
derson and If. Swan, for their attendance
and assistance, and to the choir for their
valuable services, the convention closed
with the Doxology and benediction.
Clydesdale LIorm) Notes
'hat an undercurrent of returning pros-
perity - has recently manifested itself in
oonneotion with this all-important agricul-
tural industry, is an announcement that
will be gladly welcomed by all parties in-
teresred in the breeeding, buying and sell.
ing of this class of horses. Local buyers
have, for the last few weeks, been out in full
force, occasionally accompanied by parties
from Scotland, England, aril the United
States, ail in quest of animals suitable for
the respective requirements of their busi-
ness, and at prices at leastten per cent in
advance of those obtainable at the close of
last year. That the Province of Ontario is
not singular in this respect, has been amply
demonstrated by the recent reports from
the great neighboring republic, where the
advance has been even of a more pronounc-
ed character than in Canada. And it
seems rather a significant fact that at a re-
cent meeting of th •:ecutive Board of the
e E
American Clydesdale Association, the Sec-
retary was instructed to prepare and issue
an address to its members, from which the
following is an extract:—
" \'hili' craft teams are not bringing s:ttisfae-
tory prices at the present time, it is confidently
believed and predicted by the large dealers and
consumers thatwithin three years at farthest,
t here will be an absolute famine fur choice +aid
desirable draft horses. \With this prospective
condition of things .taring us in the face, it be-
comes us all to renew our interests in this
branch of of:r breeding opernl ions, and retain
our best mares for breeding purposes, and use
only the best stallions al our command."
At the same time they made a new de•
parture ty voting money prizes to the ex -
tenter nearly one thousand dollars, to be
given at the next Chicago Horse Show, to
Clydesdale teams in harness, and single
mares or geldings shown to halter, the Sec-
retary here remarking that
"Canada alone could make a showing of this
kind that would be a revelation to our people,
and at the same time be of great service to the
farmers and breeders in that early Clydesdale
ten i tory."
A compliment that many of our old time
horsemen are doubtful if we are to -day de-
serving of, as the very serious depletion of
our stock ot young brood mares during the
last ten years, has resulted in the lowering
of the standard of this class of animals left
in the hands of our farmers for stock -rais-
ing purposes. Another and very import-
ant feature for -ur serious consideration is
the fact that owing to the almost total ces•
sation of breeding during the last few years,
aggravated by a high death rate amongst
the stud horses, many of our importers cf
Clydesdales have permanently gone out of
the business. Make a comparison of the
great spring stallion shows in the county of
Huron of 15 years ago, with those of today,
apd with what result. We find them more
',shadows of their former self."
That there are in this district a few of
the pioneer importers of these valuable ani-
mals still to the fore, who, notwithstanding
the reverses of recent years, have faith in
the great future of the Clydesdale in Cana-
da, is matter for congratulation to farmers
and breeders, and prominent among them
is our well-known local horseman, Mr. A.
Innes, of Stanley, who on Tuesday last took
off the cars at Clinton station, one of the
best, if not the very best specimen of a
typical Clydesdale etallion that stands in
Canada to -day. This horse "Joe A ndereon"
(S.C.B.S. 8710) [C.C.S.B.1742] A.G.S.B.
6856, was imported as a yearling, by Mr P.
Curtaine, Adare, Ont., and subsequently
sold by him to Mesers.Corsey Bros & Stew-
art, of Liman, under whose ownership he
has made a phenomenal reputation as a
stock horse, and which bad already preced-
ed his arrival in this district. As a result
of this purchase Meagre Corley Bros. have
bought from Mr. Innes 'his diploma colt,
Chief of the Clans, by Stud Book Chief,
dam Kilkenan Nell, imported by Mr John
McMillan, M.P., Constance, and for several
years a great prize winning mere at our
Provincial and local shows. Chief of the
Clans, although only rising four years old,
weighs 1850 pounds, is a beautiful bay in
co'or, compactly built, with unsurpassable
style and action, stands on short legs, with
bone of that Hat, flinty character, covered
with a sufficient feather of fine silky hair,
so much in requisition by horsemen of the
present day. That he will prove a worthy
successor to the horse that has just come
into Mr Innes' possession, goes without
saying, and we congratulate Messrs. Corsey
Bros. on the purchase of an animal of such
outstanding merit.

that th y should have their sight tested by some

A member of the Manitoba Legislature
proposes to reduce the membership of the
Assembly from forty to twanty•five. This
move is a wise one. Twenty-five men are
quite enough to Legislate for the Prairie

The Globe comes out fairly and squarely
against Federal interference in Manitoba.
Tt says, in effect, that if the Catholics of
the Western Province have grievances, the
Legislature can be relied upon to remedy
them. This is a wise position; it is a pat-
riotic position; it is one that the Bowell
Government will be wise to adopt for
itself. The Liberal party has, through
the Globe. frankly stated its position in
regard to the Manitoba ie hoot question.
In taking this course the Opposit on bar,
with a patriotism that carnot be too highly
commended. abandoned its power to em.
barrage the Government without harming
itself. It has token a position from which
it cannot recede, and has thee, by inform-
ing Sir Mackenzie Bowell in advance of
the stand of his opponents, made easier
the task before the Premier of solving a
difficult problem. The Liberals have, ton,
taken the proper position. If the Govern-
ment will take the same position; the only
safe position. If the Government will take
the same ground, a question that threaten-
ed grave peril t the whole Dominion will
be confined to it proper limits—within th
boundaries of anitoba.—Toronto New
