On Tuesday and Wednesday evening divine service was held in accordance with the wishes of the Archbishop of Canterbury. At the first service the A. Y. P A. attended instead of hold- ing their regular meeting. Last even- ing the Ladies Guild met in regular session to receive reports of the past month and wind up business in con- nection with their recent "At Home" and sale of fancy work. A special -meeting of the teachers and officers of the Sunday school was held last Sun- day afternoon to discuss the advisi- hility of holding a Xmas tree enter- tainment....The Children of St Paul's Sunday School will enjoy their Xmas tree entertainment on the evening of Wednesday, a Dec. 23rd. WtLLISCHURCH.—The regular meet- ing of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor was held Monday evening. The president, Wm Lindsay, occupied the chair. A large number attended the meeting and in the ab- sence of Miss Armstrong, Miss Grace Murdoch acted as organist. The cat- echism was taken by Miss E Chidley, and the topic, "Missions in India,"was upheld by C Tebbutt, who gave an ex- cellent address. Rev. Dr. Stewartgave a short, but interesting, address on mission work in India. The usual five minutes for social intercourse was then taken, after which the meeting closed - with theiusual Mizpah.... Dr Moffatt agent for the Tract Society preached in Willis church, last Sabbath morn- ing. The monthly meeting of the Excelsior Mission Band was well at- tended, Tuesday evening, a very in- teresting address being delivered by Miss Washington on "Leckie" the missionary. ONTARIO STREET CHURCH.—Rev Dr Cook will conduct anniversary services ot Varna Methodist church, next Sun- day, his work here being supplied by .Rev Mr Miller....The anniversary services, held in the Ontario St. Meth- odist church, last Sabbath, were in +every way a success. Large congre- gations morning, afternoon and even- ing, the evening congregation being especially Targe. The choir of the church rendered excellent music under the leadership of B J Gibbings. The pastor preached in the morning on 'Huma'n nature in Christ, and in the evening in the pleasures that never fail. The collections amounted to considerably over $200 which may be considered large, following the pay- ments in the church debt falling due during the same month. An interest- ing open sessi,'in of the Sunday School was held in afternoon when addresses J were given by Revs. H. M. Manning and Dr Stewart. ST. JOSEPH'S—The following . rules have been laid down for the observ- ance of the faithful : On the 8th of every month, from Dec. 8, 1903, to Dec 8, 1904, both included, special prayers will be offered in every parish in hon r of the Blessed Virgin, but in country parishes pastors are free to have these devotions on the 8th of each monthor on the first Sunday of the month, to. suit the convenience of the faithful. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of this week, meat is prohibited, and, commencing on Friday, a forty hours' devotion is ordered. Parkdale Methodist church has invit- ed Rev. W. H. Hincks, of Trinity church, Toronto, to succeed Rev. R. J. Treleaven. Rev H M Manning,of Wesley church has been asked to participate in mis- sionary services to be held in London, on Dec 27th. Rev. W. H. Harvey, St. Catharines, has been invited to one of the Brant- ford Methodist churches for next year. He is an old Huronian, "'having been born in the neighborhood of Fordwich. His Lordship the Bishop of Huron observed the anniversary of his con- secration to the is clergy by holding a quiet day for I3is clergy at, Bishop Cronyn Hall, on Tuesday last. Bis- hop Baldwin was consecrated in 1893. On .Sunday next a.' student. from Huron College will take the work at. Middleton's, Holmesvilleand Sumner hill. We believe the choice of a pas- tor for these charges Hee between Rev Goldberg of Dungannon, and Rev F Newton of Warwick. Rev James Livingston, of Petrolea, formerly of Clinton has been called to succeed Rev 11 D Hamilton, as the pastor of Wellington Street Metho- dist Church London. Mr Livingstone is well known as a minister of much ability, an indefatigable worker and a successful preacher in every field in which he has labored. An important cireular from his lord- ship Bishop McEvoy was read through. out the churches of the diocese of Lon- don, last Sunday. The circular calls attention to the fact that onDec8,1854. Pius IX.roclaimed to the world• the dogma oftheImmaculate Conception, and that the 50th anniversary ofthede- finition of the dogma will be celebrat- ed on Sunday, Dec 8, 1004.

Leckie were in town yesterday on their way to Goderich, which point Mr.Leckie will run out of to Brantford, as mail clerk. Messrs ., Ferran arras 'and Jas Smith were in attendance at the funeral of the late Mrs Laws (nee Cameron) on Tuesday afternoon, at Goderich: ° Miss Olive MacDermottwas called unexectedly to her home at Comber on Monday, owing to the very serious illness of a sister, She •will not return until after Christman. Launce Levis, of Goderich, , spends his Sundays in Clinton, There is noth- ing unusual about this, seeing that his parents live here, but, the significant part of itis that he spends most of his time in the company of a charming young lady. Mrs Honey returned to her home in Seaforth Tuesday. While here she was the guest of Mrs H B Combe. While returning to the latter's place one evening, she had the misfortune to fall, and narrowly escaped serious injury, carrying as the result of it a bruise about one of her eyes. Ed. Cook, who left here about three years ago for the west, and since which time he has beendoinganything and everything he could get to do in Northern Dakota, arrived home Tues- day morning unexpectedly. Ho ie greatly taken with that country and at its coldest -40 below zero-- tanwork out doors with less effect on you than here at zero. He does not expeet to return, however,for some time atleast.

To the Editor of the New Era: Sm.—The other evening at the Com- mencement Exercises in the town hall we had another warning of the danger connected with that revered structure, or in other words for the second time in the last few years it came within an ace of burning down, It is not to de- plore its possible destruction that I. write, for nine people' out of ten would have been rejoiced if the wretched building had been . levelled to the ground, but it is to call. attention to the very inadequate means of egress provided in the said building. Itwould be too horrible to contemplate what might have taken place on that even- ing if an alarm of iirehadbeensounded an hour later. In all probability,scores of human beings would have been maimed or killed all for the want .of exercise of a little forethought, At least there should be two iron stair- cases in the way of fire escapes from two windows on each side of the build ing,and it should be seen that the win- dows opposite these iron staircases were made' so that they could be open- ed in a hurry. We have had two warnings andhave got off scott free ; the third time . we might not be so lucky, and I submit it is the Council's duty to act of this sug- gestion or something similar, without any further delay. Years truly, JOHN RANSFORD, 1!i Generous Offer. Never before has any .newspaper in the world offered so much for so little money as The Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal this season, Their two pictures -"Heart Broken" and "Hard. to Choose"—are most de- lightful subjects, and their mapof Can- ada with special map of this province, is alone worth the money asked for the year's Subscription with the two pictures and maps thrown in. Their generous offer is meeting deserved suc- cess; few homes in Canada will be without The Family Herald/Ltd Week- lyStar when shelf value is offered for ne Dollar, North Rentrew Election. aa.�.,. The election in North Refrew to fil the seat made vacant by the deathof J W Munro, will be held on Saturday," Dec. 26, with nominations one week earlier. The Liberal candidate will be L, Hale, who was chosen by a repre- sentative and enthusiastic convention, The Conservative candidate will bo Mr Dunlop. The Premier, Hon. Gee, W. Iloss.will visit the oonetituenoy before the date ofolling and discuss the is- sues of the day, FitIDAY,. DECEMBER 4th, 1006. lttaiicla *udy tar Os Elections, • She following significant editorial appeare4 in the *lobeof Wednesday: The signs are multiplying that pre- sage the neer approach of the general elections for the Federal Parliament, Alike in Government and in Opposi• tion circles activity is shown which suggests the real opening of the cam- paign. The date of the elections has not been announced, but the officers and members of the Liberal anode. - tions throughout the country will do; no more than intelligent prudence ad- vises if they lose no time in making ready for a vigorous campaign, The record of the Government is beforethe country, and the enlightened, steady and progressive elements in everyPro- vince will approve the policy and sus- tain the administration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his Cabinet. But there is much to be done,especially in Ontario. in reorganizing the machinery of the Liberal party in the rearranged con- stituencies. This work is of importance. The services of the best, the most ac- tive, and the most reliable men in the party are needed in order thatthecam- paign may be educationally effective and the results'satisfaetory to all who care first for the interests of Canada. Whether the election day comes early or not, the counsel of wisdom to the Liberals is to make ready without de- lay. The Customs revenue of the: Domin_ inion for the five months up to today totals $17,553,000,:n increase of $2,494,- 254 over the corresponding period of 1902. The boon evidently keeps up. The revenue has increased amazingly under a low tariff, A brief paragraph last week made the announcement that gr Alex Mc- Lean, of Ottawa, had beat appointed trade agent to Japan by the Dominion government. Thisgentleman is a well known resident of Ottawa; has al- ways been a prominent Liberal, and Certainly deserves well at the hands of his political friends. He is an older brother of Mr . M Y McLean, of the Seaforth Expositor. We notice that Mr Joseph Beck has retired from the. Presidency pf the West Huron Conservative Associa- tion, after being 16 years in that position. If there is one man more than another to whom the Conser- vatives of this Riding are under deep obligations, it is "Joe Beck." He has impoverished himself by his devotion tohis party and its interests, and while it is current report that his political frends have assisted him financially in his contests, in our opinion party appreciation and obligations should yet beshown him in some substantia manner. He needs it and deserves it, 1 I i' MBIA. ' ,r uY,a,� i,;• McQUAIDE—In McKillop, Nov 19, the wife of Frank McQuaide, of a daughter.
