Sir Chas. Tupper says he is in perfect yF`accord with his colleagues, and that the party is perfectly united. The pub- lic has recently had a beautiful evi- dence of how perfectly united the party is. The Mail anticipates a majority any- where from one to two thousand for Sir Chas. Tupper in Cape Breton, yet it manifests considerable anxiety over the opposition to one sure of such a big `'r(,lajority. It is -announced that Sir Chas. Tup- per will retain his position as High 0'omrnissioner while a member of the Cabinet. This is decidedly improper, and'if Canadians were not such hard • and fast partisans, they would resent it vigorously. • "Under the circumstances," the Con- servative papers say, "the election of Mr Cameron in West Huron has no significance." Oh, certainly not, but it was "under the circumstances" that Mr Weismiller proclaimed he was to be elected and had he been it would have been heralded from one end of the Dominion to the other, as of consider- able significance. The News -Record' has been dinning into the ears of its readers the idea that every vote not polled at an elec- tion, was equivolent to a vote against the government. If this be true, then the 700 votes who are said to have re- mained away from the polls last week condemned the governmentust as much as the 1902 whc voted for Mr Cameron. The Conservative papers are mighty glad the Ottawa crisis has been tem - ea • porarily tided over, even if they have to swallow honor and everything else; but they are a trifle too fast in stating . that after the present session, Mac- kenzie Bowen is to give way to Sir Charles Tepper, as Premier. It was the latter who started the rumor, but Mr Bowell, from his place m the Sen- ate, flatly denied that it was so. A FINE VIEW. -Mr Bentley has just completed a picture of Mr R. Rens- ford's cottage, Huron St. It is called low -relief and moss -work, bringing out promineetly all the raised portions. !tease class of work not only artistic, but laborous as well, and is really creditable. ORANGE. -A meeting of Goderich Disirict L.U.L. was held at Saltford on Tuesday, the 21st inst., when the fol- lowing officers were elected:-D.M., M.O. Johnston, Goderich; Deputy M., Jas.

The circumstances were simply these -the man was dying and had intended uniting with the church, but illness prevented, and Rev. Mr Anderson being called on dur- ing the night; took upon himself the responsibility of receiving this person into full communion. An action which, though irregular, was sustained by Presbytery. The committee on students examined a!)Mr Foote, of Var- na, and asked Presbytery to take charge of him. A resolution of condol- ence was ordered to be forwarded to Mrs Reid, widow of the late Dr. Reid, secretary of the Horne Mission Society. An appeal was taken against the ses sion of Carmel Church, Hensall, which had removed from membership two persons; these were heard on their own behalf. but no discussion was reached, and the appeal will come up at an ad- journed meeting to be held in Clinton.

Convention was held in Onta- rio St. Church on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, but we are not able to give a detailed report of pro- ceedings in this issue. The special services at the Baptist church will probably continue all next week. They have been productive of good results. " The Nobleman's Faith" is the snblect for Sunday morn- ing. "The Pharisee and Publican", is the evening topic. The meeting on Monday evening, of the Ontario St. Epworth League, was one of great encouragement to the members thereof. The devotional top- ic "What think ye of Christ?" was ta- ken by Miss Lizzie Rath, and the topic for the evening, "The greatest man in history," was taken by Miss Hamilton. A number of ladies of the Ontario St. Church have organized a society to be known as the Women's "Christian Association," for the purpose of aiding in the furtherance of church work. - At a meeting held according to an• nouncement, in the lecture room of the church, on Monday afternoon, a form of constitution was adopted and the following officers elected: -Presi- dent, Mrs John Gibbings; Vice -Presi- dent Mrs H. Andrews ; Secretary, Mrs Walter Manning; Treasurer, Mrs Plumsteel, BLBLE SOCIETY. -The annual meet- ing of Clinton Branch of the Bible So- ciety will he held in the Baptist church on the evening of Friday, Feb. 14th, addresses to be delivered by resident clergymen. Hitherto it has been cus- tomary to appoint collectors to canvas for subscriptions to the funds of the society, but it has been decided to abandon this method, and take up a special collection in each of the church- es instead, the time to be at the option of the several ministers.
