Boyle preached to a crowd- ed congregation on the subject of "Popular Amusements," The sermon was unfinished, it being the Rector's intention to complete the discussion next Sunday evening. He took for his text "So speak ye and so do as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty."—Jas. 2 :12. This passage, he said, was the embodiment of spiritual common sense. It was prudent advice both for things temporal and things eternal. Thci law of God is a law of liberty, because it is entirely impartial and strictly just. In the light of that law ev^ary man was independent of another's scruples or prejudices. Each was to be "fully• persuaded." This was illustrated by a reference to the Judaistic dispute in the early Church. To -day there were people who, with the best intentions and in the name of Christ, substitute for God's exceeding broad commandment, a set of narrow man-made ordinances. "Tho law of Christ," cries St, Paul, "is to make us free"—free to use but not to abuse. Returning to the subject, he briefly sketched the changing attitude of the Christian Church towards pleasures, at different periods of history. To- day the tendency was towards a broader spirit. This had no better ex- ample than St. George's Church, New York (whose famous rector has just resigned), where the popular amuse- ments of the day are afforded under the control of the Church, with the result that places of evil pleasure have been forced out of the district. Mr. Boyle declared he did not believe that men would choose a disreputable place if they could obtain annuseinents in a respectable place. It was because the Church "tabooed" amusements, which the average man regards as quite le- gitimate. The Church could abandon these, and hand them over to the devil to be used by him for the degradation of men, or on the other hand, reclaim Il p keeping nsandme 1 amusements both , n Y P these amusements honest and respect- able. Christ, Himself, endeavored to touch life at every point, its pleasures as well as its work. It was unclean to approach a leper, but He touched one to heal him. He dined with the usurer, Zacchaeus. Ho was, as some of His own day contemptuously said, the "friend of publicans and sinners". Mr. Boyle then dwelt briefly on two modern mistakes. One was that reli- gion was part of life. It was not ; it was life itself. The other was a lack of real knowledge of the life and ex- ample of Christ. This last must be the standard, absolutely. Where Christ would not go, we dared not go. Lapsing into the personal, he said, "1 hope I shall never be seen where I would be ashamed to have Christ find me." There were amusements not in- herently evil, which surely Christ would approve of. Games of which some perhaps might not approve, were in private houses, perfectly legitimate. They should not be condemned be- cause evil men turned them sometimes to sin. That could be done with any- thing. Men were alienated because the Church denounced alike the evil and the good. Mr. Boyle expressed surprise that a separate standard should be set up for clergy and people. A minister's place was among his peo- ple. If we were not to indulge in anything at which Christ would not be present, he tersely stated, we surely should not indulge in anything at which a minister could not be present. Concluding, the Rector stated he had spoken candidly and plainly, as he felt his people deserved his confi- dence. The Church of England laid down no rules, leaving the choice to everyone's conscience. He pleaded, however, for a broad and nnprejudiced view of the amusements of the day. Sonie were bad: gambling, etc., was inexcusable. But there were others, not universally approved of, that were not, in the proper place, evil.

THREE HOCKEY GAMES. TOWN COUNCIL MEETiNE. WINQIIAM AT HARRISTON. On Wednesday of last week, Wing - ham hockey team, accompanied by about 200 supporters, went to Harris - ton by special train to play the return game in the Northern League sche- dule. Referee Hamilton of Guelph did his best to referee the game fairly, but acted more like an amateur than an official 0. H. A. referee. He de- clared at the conclusion of the game, that Wingham could win from the majority of , Intermediate 0. H. A. teams, and from some of the faster combinations. The teams lined up the sane as for the previous game. McLean scored for Wingham in eight minutes, and at half time the score stood 2-1 in favor of Harriston. The second half started off at it good gait and soon Galloway tied the score for Wingham. The next goal went to Harriston. Soon, however, Wingham scored again, making it 3-3. Only 12 minutes remained, and Ted Elliott sent the rubber to the net; the goal umpire claimed a goal for Wingham, but as the Harriston captain objected, the Referee disallowed it, thus losing the game for Wingham, for soon after Harriston scored again, making it 4-3 in their favor, McDowell scoring while Wingham was playing 4 men to 7. MT. FOREST AT WINGHAM. Close on the defeat of the locals at Harriston, came Mt. Forest braves to do battle with the boys in green and white, on Friday last. As it was diffi- cult to secure an official referee, and as D. D. Wilson of Winghain had given good satisfaction in a previous game, Mt. Forest consented and he acted as Referee. He had little to do in the way of inflicting penalties. The game was rather one-sided so far as the scoring was concerned, Wing - ham winning easily by a score of 13-5. The Band did justice to the occasion, and played until the skating finished at the close of the game. Line-up Mt.

The appointment of officers of the Council was postponed until next regular meeting. The hatter of settlement of the business between tho Town and the Western Foundry Co. was discussed informally, at considerable length. The Mayor stated that the Co. had been at heavy expense with litigation but that if the town would be patient for at little while, the Co. promised to close up the whole matter. Other members of the Council seemed dis- posed to ignore the unwritten agree- ment between the Company and the town for allowance for construction of buildings, and favored collecting' the whole amount forthwith. The action of the Council of 1903 in mak- ing the arrangement referred to was criticized, and this led the Mayor to remark to the effect that the Council of 1003 probably contained quite as intelligent men, as those who now found fault with their action in this matter. Forbes--Nicholson—That $5 be do- nated to the Sick Children's hospital, Toronto—carried. Nicholson—McDonald—That the ori- ginal agreement with the Western Foundry Co., Ltd., be carried out and that Mr. D. Holmes, solicitor, bo in- structed to collect the amount due the town—carried. Bennett—Hanna—That we ascertain who should pay the expenses connect- ed with the damages done to the dam and flume, ,and that R. Vanstone be requested to look into the matter and report at next meeting. Some ranter sharp and informal dis- cussion took place regarding the ac- tion and powers of the Executive re the electric light management, Conn's Nicholson, Hanna and the Mayor tak- ing part. The Mayor remarked that all the financial information was given in the Auditors' report. The plant was making money for the town and the Executive did not propose to be interfered with in its management. Cour. Nicholson thought all the ac- counts of the electric light should be lapid on the table before the Council. The Mayor replied that this had never been done, and so far as he was con- cerned there would be no departure from the coarse pursued in the past. Died in Goderich. Mrs. W. H.

Chief Vannorman invited hits to rest for the night in the lock-up, and on Tuesday morning, he was brought be- fore Police Magistrate Morton on a charge of disorderly conduct, and fin- ed $10 and costs, or 21 days in jail. The latter was his choice, so to Gode- rich jail lie was taken. He was a big, stout fellow and made his boast that no one man could arrest hire, but Chief Van. landed him in the cell safely, though it took some time and effort. Church Report. The annual report of Calvin Church, St. Helens, for 1905, was issued last week. The Session consists of the pastor, Rev. R. W. Craw, B, A., and Elders—R. Murray, H. Rutherford, W. F. Gordon, Peter Clark, clerk. There were 7 removals during 1006, one by death and six by certificate, and seven were added by profession of faith, leaving 190 on the Communion roll. The total receipts were $1490.52. The Missionary Association raised $216.61; the Young People's Bible Class, $52.25 ; the Harris Mission Band, $35.00 ; the W. F. M. Society, $87.03, and the Sabbath School, $63.- 31. The death recorded in the con- gregation during 1905 was that of Mrs. Wnh. Barbour. The Managers elected in 1006 were Jas. Aitcheson, W. E. McPherson, W. C. Webb, Walter Webb. Married lu Vancouver. A Vancouver daily paper has the following refering to the marriage of a former resident of this vicinity, a brother of Mr. Murray Wilson, of Turnberry : — "The marriage took place, on Jan. 31st, at Christ Church, of Miss Eva M. Peter, and Mr. Chas. H. Wilson, tho Rev. C. C. Owen being the officiating clergyman. The wed- ding was exceedingly quiet only the immediate friends of the contracting parties being present. The couplele left in the afternoon for Victoria en route to Southern California, where they will spend six weeks. The bride is a popular young lady, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter of Hornby street. Mr. Wilson is one of the best known building contractors in Vancouver, and is very popular in business circles." Former Resident Dead. Mrs. Arthur Magee of the Bluevale road received word of the death of her mother, Mrs. Hughes, relict of the late George Hughes, and formerly a resi- dent on Leopold street, Wingham. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Hughes went to live with her son, Fred., of Grand Rapids, Mich., where she died on Saturday last, aged 70 yrs. The funeral took place from the resi- dence of her daughter, Mrs. Magee, on Tuesday, to Wingham cemetery. Matrimonial. On Wednesday, February 14th, a happy matrimonial event was con- summated in Toronto that had local interest. Mr. John Duckett, a pros- perous fanner of the first line of Mor- ris, was united in marriage to Miss Hannah \. innifred Barber, eldest daughter of Mr. William Barber of Wolseley, Sask. The interesting cere- mony was performed by Rev. It. S. E. Large. The Advance extends con- gratulations. May the future be full of happiness for Mr. and Mrs, Duckett. Strange, isn't It ? It is not pleasant to be sick ; to have a sort of "all -gone" feeling all over you, as if your appetite was likely to fail you some years hence. Some- times a change of atmosphere helps ; even if the journey is a short one, it is wonderful what a change it makes in one's health. For instance, we heard of a fellow named Mnlock, who, while getting $7,000 as Postmaster -General, felt his health failing. A change was absolutely necessary, so he accepted a Chief Justiceship at a good salary (and a pension besides) and his health has Wonderfully improved. Then, we heard of another chap, named Nesbitt, who unfortunately became indisposed. It seems that (although the Legisla- ture was not hi session) the duties of the position of M. 1', P. were too try- ing for so frail a constitution, and a change was decided on. He now finds that the atmosphere of a Registry of - flee, and a salary of $0,000 a year, was just the very tonic he needed, and now he is recovering. These are mar- vellous recoveries, and they go to prove that it is not always drastic purgatives or nauseous closes that are the most effective, at least in such pe- culiar cases. Physicians should make a note of these eases. Its,:sxnnxci1 Fon SAI,.:. --T. II. Ross offers his brick residence, On 1?rauees street, for sone; It desirable property, Witt. modern eonvenicneee.

Constable is now comfortably established in his new location in the Vanstone block, one shop north of the Bell Telephone Central office. The shop is up-to-date in every respect. The interior has been wainscotted with varnished paper, that gives at fine finish. The painting and graining have been well done, and the large plate glass window gives good light. When daylight fades, the electric light shines from handsome lamps, and is reflected by colored shades. The floor is covered with pretty pat- terned linoleum, and the large hand- some mirrors, covering nearly one side of the room, add to the handsome fittings of the shop. There are three chairs of latest style, and these invite the customer to restful positions while the tonsorial art improves his appearance, and perhaps his feelings. There is a neatness and attractiveness about the establishment that is invit- ing, and the expense incurred should bring increased returns. This tonsori- al parlor is seldom equalled in many larger towns than \Vingham, and re- minds one of an up-to-date city estab- lishment. Mr. Constable may be pardoned for feeling proud of the re- sults of his industry and enterprise. Wedded On Wednesday. An interesting event took place Wednesday evening at the residence of Mr, and Mrs, Hugh Hamilton, when their youngest daughter, Jessie, be- came the bride of Robert Arbuckle, son of Wm. Arbuckle, East Wawa - nosh. At six o'clock, Rev. D. Perrie performed the marriage ceremony, which was witnessed by the relatives and immediate friends of the bride and groom. The young couple intend to take up their residence in Winni- peg. Town Clerk Ill. Our respected Town Clerk, J. B. Ferguson is still unable to attend to the duties of his office. Some few weeks ago, he fell on the icy walk, and hurt his head, and to this ac- cident is attributed his illness. His brother, of Rosetta, Assa., is here on a visit, and Miss Lon Ferguson is ex- pected home from California in about ten days. As she is somewhat con- versant with the office work, she will be of assistance in the meantime. Many and sincere are the expressed hopes, that our genial and obliging Town Clerk may speedily be restored to health.

Mr. John Webster, of West Wawa - nosh, is passing through a sad bereavement, by the death of his eldest son, which occurred in Toronto early Sunday morning. The deceased was a bright young man of 23 years. About 3} years ago, he accepted a position with the Corticelli Silk Company in Winnipeg, and later, secured a lucrative situation with the T. Eaton Co., in the same city. Last Christmas, he came home to attend the wedding of his aunt, Miss Humph- rey of St. Helens, and after visiting his friends for some time, entered the employ of T. Eaton & Co., Toronto. On Thursday last, he did not feel well, t her received a li and on Saturday his father telegram to the -effect that if he wish- ed to see his son alive to conte at once. This was too late to take a train, so Mr. Webster drove to Stratford and took the late train to Toronto. At Guelph, an obstruction made it neces- sary for him to go by way of Hamil- ton, and after some delay arrived in Toronto, Sunday at 9 a. in. Notwith- standing the skill of three physicians, the young man passed away. Before the end came, he remarked to his father that the prospect for the future was bright, and he was prepared for the change. The deceased was held in very high esteem, and bis employers reposed great confidence in hint. The floral tributes laid upon the casket were evidences of kindly remembrance from many friends. The funeral took place on Wednesday to Wingham cemetery. Asleep in Jesus, 011 how sweet, To be for such a slumber meet ! \Vith holy confidence to sing, That death hath lost his venomed sting. Evangelistic Services. This is the seventh week of the evangelistic services in \Vinghnln Methodist church, and the interest has been maintained throughout. The meetings have been well attend- ed, and the results most encouraging. Several Ones, after the servico has been closed for that evening, the pas- tor and workers have remained with anxious seekers with good results. Sunday last was a remarkable day. At 0,20, a.m., a Praise service began, and continued without any decrease of interest, until eleven o'clock. The morning and evening sermons by the pastor were appropriate, and at the after -meeting; several took manly stand in the right direction. Al- though the evening service closed soon after nine o'clock, it was near midnight when the workers ceased their labors, retiring with thankful- ness that their efforts had been so suc- cessful. Rev. Dr. Gundy was aided last week by Rev, N. Burwash and Rev. Edmunds of \Vhiteclntrch. Ho has also been ably assisted by it band of faithful lay workers. As one per- son remarked ---"Evangelists are not in it with that force of workers," It is hoped that the gond work will con- tinue, even if the meetings should close this week. Quite frequently, the workers have had to remain with seekers after the meeting has closed for the night, and in these eases there have been the moss; pronounced vie - tortes of grace. local Items $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE The year 1900 is the twenty-first anniversary of the establishment of Farmers' Institutes in this province, They have done splendid work, and have afforded models for most of the Institutes across the line.

"To Connect with the branch at Blyth and so reach G uelph and Goderich," he replied. This goes to show that the C. P.
