The matter was ao clear when it came ;a`„;0 to be discussed, that the Government r``t will hardly dare to go ahead with the "' talked -of reference, and the House n.` seemed to accept the argument that its existence would terminate on the 25th of April. 'W; A vote on the second reading of the '", Remedial Bill was to have been taken yesterday, but up to the time of going to press, it had not been reached. Owing to his recent accident Mr John Charlton, M.P., is Still unable to stand up, and delivered a Speech in the House the other day sitting, down. This is contrary to the rules, and he only did so by courtsey of the House. This is the second instance wherein this was done, the late Sir Allan McNab being once allowed to address the House from the chair. The exposure of Sir Charles Tupper 'S use of a rivate telegram in the House, from Mpr Greenway to Sir Donald Smith and hie omission of a part of the telegram, shows him to be entirely without principle or honor, and even "-Conservative papers are denouncing him for what they say "a cross-roads politician would have been ashamed of." `, It is rumored that Sir Chat lea Tup- •. per and Mr Dickey will go to Manitoba I a+ld confer with Mr Greenway about the Remedial bill, and some of the pa- 'pers say that Mr Laurier should also be invited to ao. If by so doing it is expected that Greenway will change hie attitude, they may as well save themselves all the trouble. The Mani- toba Premier point blank refuses to , Yestore the schools as they existed . prior to 1890; the Remedial order calla up8n him to do so.

To the Editor of the New Era SIR,—Mr Schram, in his answer to my letter, very adroitly evades answeritiq my charges. He first accuses me of oriticisiog without having paid close attention to his lectured. That would be dishonest on my part, and very unfair to Mr Schram. But. I did pay close attention to the lecturer, and took notes, which 1 have still. I am certain, therefore, that I did him ry11 )'astioe. He next accuses me of reading into his leo- turee what was not in them. The difficulty was to read into them anything new that was of value. But what can he mean ? I admitted thafhe gave us truths, bat they were old and familiar truths. Perhapa it in the "shoe -string" epithet I applied to his mode of remembering dates that he objects to, Well, he drew Mica on the bleak -board and divided them into portions representing the centuries and decades since the Christian era, and advised us to flace the date in its proper position on the ines.

Mr Day then took charge of a Primary Class and taught the lesson for March 22, "The Lord's Prayer." He is quite at home with the children. The lesson taught was full of illnstration Suited to the minds of the children, and proved very interesting to them. Rev. J.W.Rae, Acton, addressed the con- vention on NormalWork, taking as his sub- ject "The Ceremonial Law." This was il- lustrated by a chart, four oirclaS thereon representing the four greatgrin d leis of the law, each circle being subdivided to re. represent divisions under each head. This was accompanied by a rnnn:ng comment, which explained clearly and fatly each por- tion of the subject, and was an interesting three quarters of an hoar. WEDNESDAr EVENING. Rev J. W. Holmes, Clinton, addressed I the convention on the subject "The relation of the Holy Spirit to the Word and teach- er." One of the dangers of the times is to trust in methods instead of trusting to the only true source of power—the Holy Spirit. God ie the source of ami power. What is the relation of the Holy Spirit to the Word? The power of the S irit in evi- dently in the Word, se proved by its infln- ence on the world. The disciples never fully believed in the troths as taught by Christ, until after the resurrection and the day of Pentecost, on that day it was the preadntation of the old truths followed b the descent of the Holy Spirit, whi1K caused the conversion of so many on that day. The Holy Spirit and the Word are often 'spoken of as the same portion, which Is not correoL What is the relation of the Holy Spirit to the teacher?
