May Be Guesswork
--
Roy. Mr Madill, ex -president of the
P.P.A., tells the following story con-
cerning political affairs, which he as-
serts he has on the highest authority.
It may or may not be true, and is as
follows:—
"Within six weeks writs for a new
election will be issued. After a trip
through the Northwest, Premier
Bowell has found the unpopularity of
remedial legislation; and his place at
the helm still be taken by Hon. Mr
Foster. Thus, the Government will
not be held responsible for promises
made by its former head.”
To Be_ Or Not To Be
The other ?day the Toronto World
intimated that a new election would
notlbe held in West Huron, the seat
being allowed to go by default until
the general election. On the other
hand the London Free Press intimates
that an election must be held, if an-
other sesssion of the House is held,
saying:—
"A contest cannot, and should not,
be avoided from any consideration of
party expediency.. The question whe-
ther the seat may be won or lost would
be of small importance beside the
question that would spring from such
a strain upon the constitution as that
which our Liberal friends are suggest-
ing—might we say are hoping for ?—
viz., in the disfranchisement of a popu-
lar constituency during a session of
parliament."
ThelFreePress also falls into the same
mistake which others have made, of
calling West Huron "a Liberal strong-
hold." It never was such, and never
can te. There are only a few Liberals
who have the remotest chance of being
elected in West Huron, and these be-
cause they receive a proportion of
Conservative support. We doubt if
there are more than half -a -dozen pro-
minent Liberals who could contest
West Huron with any prospect what-
ever of election, while almost any Con-
servative has agood "fighting 'chance."
However, the chief point is—will
there be a bye -election The Liberals
do not pretend to know, and local Con-
servatives profess as much ignorance
on the matter. Now that the Premier
has returned from theWest, it is likely
that the matter will he disposed of.
Our own opinion is that it will all de-
pend on the chances of the Govern-
ment carrying the seat. Our own pre-
ference would be to see the matter left
in abeyance until a general election is
held.
Mr Chas. McCelland writes a timely
lettes to the Globe, protesting against
the letters of Dr. Grant, on the Mani-
toba school question, and we agree en-
tirely with him. We fail to see any
possible benefit that can accrue from
these letters, and think it would he
wise to discontinue them.
The election protest against the Hon
Mr. Harty came up for trial at Kings-
ton, on Monday. By consent of both
parties, the personal charges were
dropped, and bribery by agents was
admitted on behalf of Mr Harty. and
the election declared void. If Mr
Harty or his friends know who these
guilty agents are, it would not be a
bad idea to see that they are punished,
for the Liberals cannot decry electoral
corruption in their opponents, and
then wink at it by their own support -
ere. The great trouble with Kingston I
is that it has been corrupted for years,
and the Liberals were not primarily
responsible for it.

We wish him prosperity in his work

A special meeting of the Trustee
Board of Rattenbury St, church was
held on Monday evening. The resig-
nation of Mr Jas. Young, as caretaker,
was accepted, his absence from town
not allowing him to hold the position
longer. Mr Beesley, who has been

to be relieved of the arduous and re-
sponsible_duties connected therewith,
which was done, and a resolution ex-
pressing the Board's appreciation of
his faithful services, was unanimously
The Exeter Times says:—"Mr Arthur
Millson, of Biddulpb, who a few years
ago attended the Exeter public school,
is now associate minister with Rev. Mr
Fair, on the Londesboro circuit. The
writer had the privilege of hearing one
of Mr Millson's discourses on Sunday.
He has had little training and been on
the road but two years; and while elo-
quent in his delivery his subjects are
well selected and full of deep thought,
bristling with illustrations which carry
ready conviction. Mr Millson has a
bright future before him, and if he can
bridle his eloquence and thus preserve
his strength, he will prove a valuable
acquisition to the cloth.
ONTARIO ST. METHODIST CHURCH.—
Sunday last was observed as a Hat -
vest Home anniversary, in connection
with this church, the edifice being very
tastily decorated with houseplants, and
other flowers, the altar in particular
being one mass of harmonized colors.
The basement was also decorated with
grain, corn, etc. Rev. Mr Ford gave
two practical and thoughtful dis-
courses, one on the parable of the
tares and the wheat; and the other on
the topic "Lessons from the harvest."
On Monday evening a bountiful har-
vest home dinner was served in the
basement, all the good things which
nature and art could supply, being on
hand. The entertainrnent in the even-
ingheli in the body of the church, at
which solos were given by Messrs T.
,Jackson, jr., and R. Foster, a duet by
Miss H, Rumball and Mr. Sibley, a
trio by Messrs R. Foster, R. Downs,
and W. Holloway; The Harmonic Club
gave 2 selections, Miss. Mountcastle
gave a reading, and addresses were
given by Mrs. Ford and Dr. Shaw.
Rev. Mr. Ford acted as chairman. The
proceeds amounted to nearly $60.
A very pleasant social evening was
spent in the lecture roohi ot the Rat-
tenbury St. Methodist church last Fri-
day evening, tinder the auspices of the
E. L. of C. E. Society. After a short.
song service and devotional exercices
the president called for a number of
short addresses bearing directly upon
the work of the Society. The Christi-
an Endeavor Department responded
with an address from their convener
on "Look up;" The Missionary Depart-
ment, "Lift up;" The Social Depart-
ment, "Cheer up;" The Junior Depart-
ment, "Train up;" The Secretary
Write up;" The Treasurer, "Pay up;"
then the pastor was 'Asked to "Sum
Up." Next came a fifteen minute in-
termission to give an opportunity for
introduction and social talk, which
was entitled "Shake Up;" then, to
complete the programme, light refresh-
ments were served by the Social Com-
mittee, this division being entitled
"Fill up." Sandwiched in between the
addresses was a solo, and two instru-
mental duets by local guitarists.
There was an attendance of 150, and all
were much pleased with the pleasing
and profitable programme.—CoM.
THANKSGIVING SERvICF_S. — irl St,
Paul's church, last Sunday morning
and evening, there was a heart y
thanksgiving for the blessings of the
harvest, Rev. J. H. Moor•house, rec-
tor of Christ church, London, preached
two excellent and appropriate sermons
He spoke of the sin of hoarding money,
and exhorted all to give freely, saying
that "with liberality came peace of
mind." He was assisted in the ser-
vices by the Rev. Mr Freeborn, of
Blenheim, brother of Dr Freeborn, of
t�
ere of the season, A rustic arch sep-
arated the chancel from the nave,
this was covered, with wreaths of
oats and golden rod, and pinacles,
crosses, of winter cress, and drooping
bunches of geraniums, apples, and
grapes, and was the most beautiful
design in the whole de oration. In
the chancel were two pyramids of
evergreens mingled with grains, etc.
The chandeliers and fount were very
prettily clothed in flowers. There
were many other floral beauties too
numerous to mention. There ivas a
large congregation in the morning and
in the evening the church was packed.
The worshippers seemed deeply im-
pressed with the services and their
burroundines. Such scenes are good
and leave a lasting impression on the
beholder—constantly keeping before
us the text "As ye sow, so shall ye
reap." The singing was all particular-
ly appropriate and well rendered. A
special appeal had been made for a
subscription and contribution of $500
towards the permanent improveurents
of the church, and this amount was
about realized, nearly $150 of it being
in the Sunday offering.

Meeting, and other articles of local in-
terest.
FARM RENTED.—Mr Walsh, of the
London rcad, has rented his farm for
a term of years, at a rental of $310 a
year. He gives possession at once, and
will probably take up his residence in
town, having rented Mrs Butler's new
house, Victoria St. It is an excellent
farm, and the lessee has secured it at a
very nominal rental.
HOUSE OF REFUGE NOTES.— The
building is fast approaching completion
on its upper flats, where painters are
flnishidg up the last coat, and carpen-
ters are putting on hardware which is
of good strong make, obtained from
the well-known firm of Rice, Lewis &
Co, Toronto. The plumbers are setting
sn all the fixtures, and the steam -fitters
are placing radiators and putting in
pipes and mains. Bennett & Wright,
of Toronto, ,who did similar work at
Goderich Court House, are doing this
work.
THE FRUIT SPRAYING.—Mr A. H.
Petit, who has charge of the fruit
spraying tests in Ontario, was in town
on Tuesday, inspecting the results of
the test on Mr Weir's farm. Owing to
the absence of fruit, the test could not
be as well determined as otherwise,
but Mr Petit stated that the trees were
in as healthy a condition as possible,
the result, in his opinion, of the spray-
ing. He stated that wherever fruit
had grown this season, the test had
been most satisfactorly.
UNKNOWN CHARITY. — Some One
made the remark the other day that
"there is a great deal of charitable
work done of which the puplic knows
nothing at all." And this is quite true.
Every business man knows how often
he is called upon to help some needy in-
dividual, and can show an annual ex-
penditure in this way that would be
amazing, if made public. The ladies of
the W. C. T. U. do a great deal in both
direct and indirect ways. Not so very
long ago they paid out about $60 for
nursing a certain party who needed
their help. Another instance in sup-
port of the above statement is shown
in the fact that recently aafew business
men clubbed together and raised about
575, to pay the railway passage of a
family that was leaving town, but bad
not the money necessary to do it; and
no doubt these instances could he mule
tiplied indefinitely.
Normal Class Institute.
Rev John McEwen, Normal Class Secy.
of the Provincial 8.S. Association, held the
first of a series of meetings in the Ontario
street Methodist church, on Wednesday
afternoon,
In his prefatory remarks the speaker
drew attention to the best conditions for
normal class, or any work of the teacher
or preacher. He must, first, have his
hearers—class or audience—together, em-
phasizing the word together, in the oft.
quoted passage, "Where two or three are
gathered together," eto. This is the first
principle of normal work, close together,
not scattered. and the teacher, if possible,
standing, not sitting. . Second, personal
contact. The Saviour set no value on the
size of his audience, as compared with
Doming into personal touch with those
whom he wanted to save.
The topic discussed was, "Normal work,
its relation to 8. 8. efficiency." In the
treatment of this topic he elaborated the
following points as essential. Its aims.—
l.—A larger grasp of the book we teaoh, a
general knowledge of the book will enable
the teacher to get at once to the heart of
the lesson. 2.—A better knowledge of the
boy we teach, peculiarities of mind, air•
cumstances, will, home life, etc. 3.—A
larger appreciation of the condition of his
spiritual life. Teaching, he defined to be
"causing another' to know what we know."
The S. School no longer is regarded as a
relation of the Church, brit as the Church
itself at work, by the use of its best forces,
and the Word of God the staple of its
agency, the first aim being the administra-
tion of the Word in building up saints, and
secondly the evangelization of sinners, that
is, bringing the truth into such relation to
the sinners' condition as to reveal to the
oneaved their need of a saviour.
Referring to the revival of the 18th cen-
tury, under Wesley and Whitfield anti their
coadjutors, in England and Scotland, and
others in Germany, he was of the opinion
that the work proceeded in the following
order: In Germany it was a revival of
learning and religion; in Scotland, in the
order of religion and learning, and in Eng-
land, a revival of political life, freedom of
conscience and religion. In these revivals
the S. S. work Dame to the front as an im-
portant factor.
The exercises of the evening ooneigted of
an explanation of a chart 14x12 ft., entitled
"A bird's eye view of the Bible." The
books are represented in columns from top
to bottom, and classified in the following
order: Law, history, poetry, prophecy,
and the New Testament, history, epistles
and prophecy.
Orders have been issued to have the Sault
Ste. Marie Canal kept open on Sundays un-
til the end of the season.
At St. Therese, Quebeo, a young woman

Ont., was arrested in Buffalo, for shop-
lifting.
Alex. McEaohren, bookeeper at the Bell
Organ Company's offices in London, is so -
der arrest on a charge of robbing the com-
pany.

Rowell at Wioailpeg.
Winnipeg, Sept. 14. — Sir Mackenzie
Bowell, the Dominion Premier, had an in-
teresting time of it here. Friday night he
was waited upon by a number of Conserva-
tive delegates and a caucus was held. The
meeting was a decidedly warm one, and
Sir Mackenzie should have a truer concep-
tion of the local Conservative grievances
than before the event. A memorial was
presented to the Ministers setting forth the
grievances of the party. The memorial
name out with the flat statement that if
the policy of the leaders had been deliber-
ately planned to wreck the Conservative
party in Manitoba it could not have been
more successful, and it is doubtful if to- ,
day there are more than ten coneoientious
Conservatives left in the . Province who
would vote for the party. The course of
the Government in issuing the drastic re-
medial order on the school question was
severely criticized. The failure to build
the Hudson Bay road, as promised, got a
terrible scorching. The party did not feel
that the simple not building of the road
was such a terribld blonder, but there was
no room to defend the whole action of first
promising, then passing an order in Coun-
cil to build the road, and then throwing
the whole thing overboard. This was the
fyret time since Confederation that a Gov-
ernment had gone back on en order in
Council. What aggravated this blunder
was the personal pecuniary loss it entailed
upon the local Conservatives in causing
them to support a newspaper venture which
never had paid and which was not now
paying. The fast -and -loose game which
the Government was playing with Mr
Eoarth and others for different positions
was referred to incidentally. In opening
out to reply, Sir Mackenzie Bowe11 said
that, as honest men, if facts were as stated,
he failed to see how they could refuse to
vote Grit, at the next election. This hero-
ic treatment caused the faces of the old
guard to grow long, and then Sir Macken-
zie pleaded eloquently for them to keep in
line. The meeting, however, broke up
with a deoidedly unsatisfactory fueling all
round.
Why Should I Insure now ?
1. Because you can gain nothing by
waiting. There are no cheap bargains in
life insurance. Whenever yon insure you
must pay table rates, and the longer you
wait the more it will cost you.
2. Because your family should be pro-
teoted without another hour's delay. Your
duty demands it, and your delaying the
matter is an evidence ot your want of a
correct idea of your obligations to your
family and society at large.
3. Because insuring your life is an evi-
dence of erndent forethought, and is an
action which commends itself to any far-
sighted bueinese man, and will improve
your credit wherever known.
Insure in the Confederation Life Asso-
ciation. Policies unconditional and auto-
matically non -forfeitable. Apply to W.
Taylor, jr., Clinton, General Agent fcr
Huron and Perth, or Israel Taylor, Clin-
ton, Local Agent.
