FRIDAY, DEO. 16, 1904.
The Ontario Legislature has been
dissolved, and the writs for the gener-
.01 election have been issued. The nom-
,' - inations will be held on.lan. 18, and
.the polling a week later, Ian. 25. The
lima, session of the Legislature must,
• - according to law, meet before April 26,
The announcement of the general el.
lebtions viin take nobody by surprise.
'The parties have been so nearly bal.
• sawed in the Legislature that conduet-
ling the business of the Province has
been no easy task, and a new appeal
to the electors has been expected. The
great Liberal convention and its Mop,

ly accented as preliminaries to a battle
in the .Province, and both parties have
been shaping up for the contest and

constituencies.
The Liberals have a long record of
-useful legislation and careful and wise
administration of public affairs, and
.they have a, well-defined anttcohesive
volley that meets the needs of the
times and looks to progress and im-
provement. They have an able -Mid

MINTON.
ONTARIO STREBIT.-Preparations are
in progres for the congregational At
Home to be given by the Ladles on the
evenifig of the 20th,in the basement
of the church. Light refreshments
are to be served and a good program
to be rendered. The above was. decid-
ed ata 'fleeting held at Mrs S. Taylor's
instead Of Mrs. Gibbings as reported
last week....The Literary evening last
Monday was one of the most enjoyable
that the League has ever had and a
very fair audience was present: All
the speakers that had been previously
announced were present, and although
not Otrangets, were none the less
'warmly greeted, The addresses were
practical, witty and inetructive. The
first speaker, Rev Mr Gunne, of the
Anglican church; dealt with the sub-
ject, "Amusements formoralImprove-
ment," showing how even sometimes
innocent amusements could become
degrading instead of elevating ; in
conclusionhe said "never engage in
any • amusement where you cannot
take Christ." The next speaker, Rev
Di Stewart Of Willis church, epoke on
"Reading tetion), it's effect on man.
ners." he s owed how the authors we
study will move our characters, illus-
trative by the effects of Burns on the
Scottish people, and emphaalied the
Bible as the onsbook to be studied for
the moulding of our lives. The last
speaker Mr R. Holmes, ex -M. P,, die -
emoted the question “Can a successful
husiness man be Spiritually minded,"
he mid he believed, there never was as
much the spirit of Christ sbroad in
the business world as there was to-
• day. and gaVean excellent illustration,
He based most of his remarks on the
passage, "'pray notthat thou shouldst
take them out of the world but that
thou thottldst keep them from the
evil," and Mode it clear that any man
engaged in (I legittnats business can
be as godly as any other Besides the
foregoing there Were two musical
numbers, which, were • much appre.
