laymen took part in the discussion, in-
cluding Revs. C. W. Hedley and J.
Downie and Messrs Woods and Har-
rison. Principal Dymond urged cau-
tion on the part of the teacher, and
pointed to the Prophet Isaiah as an
example of Messianic preaching; he
also urged the necessity fur using
language easily understood.

est address at the close, showing the

simple preaching of gospel truths.

hop preached a characteristic sermon

House of Refuge Notes
George Young, from the township
of Stephen, is the latest arrival as an
inmate. Donald McArthur, an inmate
from Morris township, died on Tues-
day morning, aged N5 years; cause of
death was convulsions; his body was
taken away by his friends and will be
buried in the Brussels cemetery. There
are at present 63 inmates in theHouse,
and 11 of them are confined to their
rooms through sickness, and their
meals have to be carried to them. Mr
and Mrs M. Y. McLean, M.P.P., visited
the House of Refuge on Monday last,
and left the following remarks written
in the Visitors' Book, which speaks
for itself:—"I had the pleasure of go-
ing through the House of Refuge to-
day and I am delighted. with te. clean
and orderly manner in w the
whole institution is kept, art well as
the cheerful and comfortable
condition of the inmates. It is a
greatblessing that these poor and un-
fortunate people can be made so com-
fortable. Mr and Mrs French also
seem to take so kindly an interest not
alone in the inmates, but with every-
thing connected with the institution.
Everything is comfortable, neat, clean
and in every way creditable." The
officers and inmates take this oppor-
tunity of thanking Mr and Mrs Mc-
Lean for their kind and liberal dona-
tion of valuable reading matter, con-
sisting of excellent periodicals and
magazinee, which will be very highly
appreciated by many of the inmates.
I. 0. Q. T. District Meeting.
District Lodge No. 24 opened in due
form, at Blyth, Oct. 14th, Mr Farnham
in the chair. There were about 65 del-
egates present, seven lodges being rep-
resented. There was a slight decrease
in the membership, owing to the sum-
mer mon the. The advisability of hold-
ing two meetings in the year was dis-
cussed, but it was unanimously carried
to hold three as usual, as they, thought
it keeps up theeinterest better. There
were several interesting speeches given
by Rev. Mr Andrews and others. The
next meeting Is to be held in Clinton
in February. The members of Blyth
lodge held a concert on the evening of
the 14th, most of the delegates staying.
and a number taking part in thepro-
gram. Quite a profitable and enjoy-
able time was spent.
