Note in •the first place that Christ
does not call the bankers „and

noble of this world, ,but " ye that
'labor and are heavy laden." 'Those
who are pressed down by work, those
who lie under the fierce rod of ;Mille-

Thup, we note again •that :Jesus is on-

man misery is the lodestonewhich at-
-tracts the attention of the Lord Jes-

Again Christ is the only • centreof
attraction for Christians. The solar.
system has the suti for its centre to
which all the planets are attracted.
So the Lord :Tema Christ is the cen-
tre for all Christians, " Come unto

It is the power of the evil one upon
earth that prevents all from going to
Christ. In my youth, his Lordship
said, appeared a comet which they
told us was going to destroy the
world and we were afraid. But out
at the observator they said there
was no thine as e comet was fly-
ing away from. earth. Satan is
readfto destroy us and comes as our
enemy, but if we go to Christ we will
find that satan is not to be feared,
that he is now flying away from the
presence of the Son of God. Again,
why should we come to Christ ? Be-
cause he is love. A man once put up
a weathercock and on it painted the
words " God is Love." When a
neighbor asked him if this were not
derogaeing from the reverence due to
God and inconsistent with God's uh-
changeableness, he replied, "No, but

ONT. ST. LEA.GVE,
The Ontario street League held its
monthly consecration meeting on Mon-
day evening when there was a good
attendance. The S. S. lesson for the
following Sunday was discussed by
Miss Stevens and a paper read by
Miss Trowhill on " Prayer a Neces-
sity."
" WITHOUT ARE DOGS."
From the above topic Rev. Dr. Gif-
ford preached an eloquent sermon on
Sunday ,evening last to a large con-
gregation. The reverend gentleman
said in part ;
The world is not all good. Injus-
tice often prevails. There are men
who are up who ought to be down,
and those clown who ought to be up.
There is a better place and we call
it heaven. This is the place or state
that John saw in the Revelatiou.
From it are excluded sin, painhung-
er, death, yea all evil, Exclude evil
from any place and it is heaven,
.eiree, it is excluded every disturb-
ing element.
There is danger to the church and
the world from the senseless talker.
From -heaven are excluded the fierce
and quarrelsome. Strife among
Christians works destruction,
The very thought of heaven includes
the idea ofpurity.
The
dog is an unclean aniinal ' and
often spreads disease and death.
Let thc life be pure and the conver-
sation as becometh the gospel and the
church and the world will be safe,"
The efficient choir of the church was
in its best form and rendered the 'old;
old story in song with sweetness and
power.
MEETING OF TOWN COUNCIL.
Vectoria Day falling upon Saturday
the town council on Monday night de-
cided in favor of its observance .upon
Monday, May 26th, instead • of the
time honored 24th. The change was
made for business masons, the mer-
chants not wishing to . close their
doors on Saturday, their harvest day.
The council increased the pay of
Chief Wheatley, who will superintend

pen than heretofore. •

ing chief of police and weiglinmeter;
He will be given an rissistaet, Mr.
Nichol Robson probably.
Mr. David Cantelon addressed the
council ne relation to the 'enlarge-
ment of the stock yards which lie said
are altogether too small. He e said
that next Monday eight carloads of
cattle and several of hogs will be
shipped from Clinton and' the drovers
would be considerably inconvenienced
because of insufficient acconimecktion.
In the discussion it was stated that
the board of health and the G. T. R.
had had a controversy in regard to the
present yards, the former insisting up-
on perfect cleanliness. As soon as

Mr. Joe Rattenbury• "talked right

ing. the street any higher, but for the

then consider he had a grievance.,
Secretary Cunninghame of the Public
school hoard itiformed the Council,
that Mr. I. Saceson had resigned and
that it would be necessary to choose.
his suCcessor.
Mayor Jackson said the town by-
laws need revision badly and
thought the work should be under,
taken as soon as possible. It was-
peoposed to go right ahead with the
work, but as this., for obvious tees -
ons, will be a busy month for those
upon whom the task :will likely de-
volve, it was decided to take up the
matter at the next meeting of the
council. The bylaws have not been
revised since 1880, •
'rhe report of the board of health,
width was adopted, _called forth the
principal discussion of the evening, It
was as follows :

fire hall be closed up as it has be-

Robinson's of Auburn on Tuesday.
They started for home at dusk and
when a mile south of the village one
