Church Chimes.
From the Exeter Times we learn that
Rev. R. Millyard, formerly of here,was
by unanimous vote invited to the pas-
torate of Main St. Methodist church,'
Exeter, for the second year, and also a
resolution of cordial appreciation of
his pulpit ministrations and the. har-
mony and•prospeiity which prevail in
the departments of the church work,
was pissed.
From the OhicagoTribuneof a recent
issue we learn of a new Methodist
church which was recently dedicated
by Bishop C. 0. McCabe preaching the.
dedicatoryietermoo s, Gen. Irving pre-
sented the building on behalf of the
truateg board for dedication and in the
afterti&on was one of the six speakers.
The church cost $15,000. The above
gentleman is a son of our respected
townsman, Mr Irving.
The Methodist ..mtnietersOf_ Chicago_
have added their voices to'tti'e general
outcry which is being made by many'
against the Sheldon edition of the
Topeka Capital at a weekly, church
meeting held in that city, Rev. W.
Burch denounced his actions as blas-
phemous, Several others of the clergy
made stzong speeches against • the
preacher editbr, and only through the
efforts of the chairman that the minis-
ters .deferred adopting resolutions con-
demning Mr Sheldon and the editions
which he edited,.
A new English church is to be erec t
ed the -comfit -sr summer at Kirkton, of
which Rey. Wm. -Stout is the rector.
The new buildingis to be of white
brick, of gothic design, and is rectang-
ular in shape. The dirhensions are 84x
32 feet and calculated to seat. 200 people.
The height of the tower will be 00 feet
while the auditorium will be 26 feet
high and the -basement will be used as
a Sunday School room. It will be heat-
ed with hot air and will have leaded
glass windows. ceilings of panelled ash
and hardwood floors..It will cost about
!$3000 and will be pretty as well as ser-
viceable.
.A. change of ownership in the Presby-
terian Review is,announced, The com-
pany with which the Messrs Clougher

The Home Mission committee of the
Presbyterian church met in Toronto
last week and claims for the past half
-' year were passed for $30,400. Requests
of Preshytes were :—British Opium •
bia,$235001 elllondike,$3000;Manitoba
and the N. W., $20,•600; Ontario and
Quebec, $29,806; total, $70,300. Added
to this for contingencies the sum re-
wired for next year will be close on to
$100,000. During the year just closed
21 mission fields have been transferred
to the augmented congregations and
84 new mission fields have been opened
up`weat of Lake Superior. Notwith-
`- tanditteg defcit of . $11,000 it was re-
solved of `extending the work in the
confident hope that the people would
come to the rescue of the church in ex-
panding the work, The missionaries
were allotted to the several Presby-
teries of the church.

to have three ohampionshipe,senior, .inter-

of the aseooiatidn. If the various districts
can be interested, a meeting will he held in

Queer •Anetlons.
,A Dutch auction at Cape Town Is fre-
quently exciting. ' If a . house is to be
sold, the,auctioneer offers "50 golden sov
ereigns tor the mao who first bids £5,-
000." Nobody bids. A. pause, and then
"h`ifty golden sovereignsfor the man
who first bids £4,900."
This is kept upuntil a bid is secured.
But it by no means follows that the
house is sold to this bidder. No, the auc-
tioneer is then at it again. Say that
44,400 is the first bid. The auctioneer
cries:
"There are 25 golden 'sovereigns for
the first man who has •the courage to bid
44,000." Perhaps no one has it. Then
425 is offered for a 44,650 bid. If there
is eventually no bid above the 44,400, the
man who made that bid Is saddled with
the • house. Otherwise he pockets • his
bongs•and gets off tree of it all.

From the Advocate, Exeter,
Mr Frank Walters is a young mag

fell off greatly in weight. I tried different
