SUMMER SCHOOL SESSIONS.
Wingham District Epworth League.
(Continued from last week.)
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
On Tuesday afternoon after de-
votional exercises, Mr. Keenleyside of
London gave an address on "Power
for Service" It was thoughtful, as-
sistful and inspiring to Christian
workers. He noted the principles
underlying God's dealings with souls.
1 -To be successful, we MIrsa' have
power. 2 -We may have it, 3 --
Where is it obtained ? 4 -Its results,
5 -The price of power ---"Thy will be
done, in me, through me, by me,"
Rev. M. J. Wilson, of Teeswater,
gave a forceful address on "Building
New Altars." This work he consider-,
ed was better than repairing old
altars. Much precious time is spent
in repairs in Christian life, that would
be better spent in new constrnctive
work. Ire spoke briefly on -1 -Those
who are not consecrated. 2 -Those
who think they are consecrated, but
are really not. 3 --Those who at one
time were consecrated but have
broken their vows. 4 -Those now
consecrated for service.
TUESDAY EVENING.
The weather having become fine the
evening service was held in the tent
on the banks of the Maitland. After
a helpful service of song, Rev. R. W.
Woodsworth gave an excellent ad-
dress on "Christian Stewardship", em-
phasizing the duty of tithing our in-
come, basing his remarks on Malachi
3.10, where he found -
1 -A Divine Command.
2-•A Divine Challenge.
3-A Divine Penalty.
4-A Divine Benediction.
He spoke more particularly on the
first, and gave a large number of in-
stances showing the beneficial results
of tithing for 'God's cause, as regards
churches, as well as individuals.
After a well rendered solo by Miss
Hingston of Brussels, Mr. Keenley-
side of London gave a practical ad-
dress on "Prayer" 'with lessons drawn
from the example of our Lord during
his earthly ministry.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
Devotional exercises were conduct-
ed by Rev. W. A. Findlay.
Rev. E. W. Edwards, B. A., B. D.,
then gave his second address on Bible
Study, continuing his references to
the Psalms. He traced the main
teachings of the Psalms in their con-
tinuity. 1 -Their teaching abort
God. 2 -About man and his nature.
3 -The place of the Psalms in the his-
tory of the Church, especially in their
forecast of the coining of the Redeem-
er. Mr. Edwards' thoughtful ad-
dresses were appreciated.
Miss Carrie Wellwood then render-
ed a solo acceptably.
Rev. R. W. Woodsworth, of Toron-
to, then continued his address of the
evening before on "Christian Steward-
ship," referring more particularly to
the second division of his subject -
"The Divine Challenge" in Malachi
3.10, "Prove me now herewith," etc.
Some promises of God are. riot fulfilled
in answer to prayer, but in recogni-
tion of the fulfillment of the condi-
tions ; in this case, it is the bringing
in of the tithes into the storehouse.
Many pertinent illustrations and ex-
amples were given that made the ad-
dress forcible as well as interesting.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
On assembling, and after devotional
exercises, Rev. Geo. Baker, of Blue -
vale, gave a "Heart to Heart Talk"
and was followed by Mr. Keenleyside,
who gave a second address on "Power
for Christian Service."
Solo acceptably.
Rev. D. Norman, missionary to Ju-
pan, then gave the first of a series of
three addresses, given in connection
with the Summer School, referring in
this first address to the wonderful
progress the empire of Japan has
made during the past few years. He
referred to the awakening of the na-
tion, her rapid rise to power. Not
many years ago she was known as the
"hermit nation," and she was in a feu-
dal condition, bat she had passed io
the position of a civilized nation,
chiefly on account of the united action
of her people. Their development had
been national in character, covering
government, education, public works,
etc, ; even of railways, they had 8,000
miles, besides excellent postal, tele-
graph and telephone systems The
speaker also referred to the necessity
for the young people of Canada to be
aroused to a sense of responsibility,
and a greater interest in mission
work.
TIIURSDAY EVENING.
As on previous evenings, the service
opened with a half hour of Sacred
Song, into which the congregation en-
tered heartily.
• Miss Markland of Toronto then gave
an address on Missions among the In-
dians of British Columbia, She was
formerly teacher of the Girls' Home
at Kitamaat, in charge of Rev. Mr.
Raley, the missionary supported by
.the Wingham District Leaguers. Her
address was very interesting, tfnd re-
ferred to the language, manners, cus-
toms and peculiarities of the Indians
of our western province.
After a duet by Miss Homuth and
Mr, McNevin, Rev. D. Norman, of Na-
gano, Japan, continued his address of
the afternoon on Japan, to which the
audience listened attentively, although
the hour was late.
FRIDAY MORNING.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by Rev. S. V. Pentland.
Rev. D. Norman gave another ad-
dress on Japan, dealing more particu-
larly with his own work along mis-
sionary lines. He was chosen as one
of the chaplains of the army, but was
not called into active service. He told
of the Christiau influences at work
upon students, and of his visit and
work among 2,000 wounded soldiers.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Three excellent.addresses were given
this afternoon. The first was on the
"Study of the Bible," by Mr. Blatch-
ford of Ripley.
Mrs. (Rev.) Husser, of Fordwich,
gave a helpful address on "Soul -win-
ning," indicating the methods that
might be successfully used, empha-
sizing especially "personal work."
Rev. H. Locke, of Kincardine, also
gave an address on "The Bible." The
afternoon was very profitably spent
listening to these addresses.
Friday evening was taken up With
the Concert ; for notice of this see
local column.
SATURDAY MORNING.
Rev. H. Blatchford led the devotion-
al exercises for the morning. Miss
Markland then continued her address
on "Missions to the Indians in British
Columbia." This was followed by an
appropriate solo by Miss Wellwood.
There was no session on Saturday
afternoon.
WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The tent was again filled for the
evening service, and those present en-
tered for half an hour heartily into
the service of Song. The speaker of
the evening was Rev. R. W. Woods -
worth, who gage an earnest and in -
a
strnctive address on "Christian Mis-
sions." He showed the lamentable
moral condition of the world after
1900 years of the Christian era hacl
passed. A.t the same time, he was not
pessimistic. He outlined the causes
of present conditions -the apathy, the
selfishness, and illiberality of the
Church towards missions. Examples
were given showing that increased
givings for missions had resulted
in greater financial prosperity to
churches and individuals, as well as
increased spiritual blessing. The
evening's service was made still more
varied and interesting by a well -ren-
dered duet by Miss Staples and Mr.
Johnston, of Teeswater, and a solo by
Miss Edith Hall.
THURSDAY MORNING.
The School opened this morning
with devotional•exercises led by Rev.
G. W. Rivers, B. A., B. D., Bel -
grave.
Miss Carrie Wellwood, of Wing -
ham, then gave an interesting address
on "City Mission Work in Boston."
Miss Wellwood spent some time in
Boston, and had an opportunity of
engaging in some of the mission work
in the slums of that city. She gave
an account of some of her experiences
in the work.
SUNDAY.
The Sunday services of the Summer
School were largely attended and
were rich in spiritual blessing. At 11
a.m. Rev. W. G. Howson preached to
the Epworth Leaguers' from James
5:20. The sermon was thoughtful,
earnest, pointed, and practical. Nev-
er have we listened to a better sermon
to Epworth Leaguers.
In the afternoon an open session of
the Sunday School was held in the
auditorium. Mr. W. J. Fawcett of
Brussels gave an address on "Ships"
showing the necessity of a good cap-
tain, a safe chart, etc., and emphasiz-
ing the beauty of a life free from bad
habits and the excellency of a good
followed Rev.
He was
character.by
W. A. Smith of Lucknow, who gave
an address on "Character" illustrating
his remarks by object lessons. Both
addresses were interesting and ap-
propriate. A solo by Miss Carrie
Wellwood and a quartette by the
Misses Wellwood, Messrs. Awde and
Hall added interest to the service.
In the evening, Rev. W. G. Howson
delivered an excellent sermon on "The
Contagion of Strength," taking as his
text, Luke 22:32-" When thou art
converted, strengthen thy brethren."
The discourse was earnest, and in-
tensely practical. Its quiet force and
beauty of illustration niade a deep im-
pression. It was a fitting close to the
exercises of the Summer School of
1900, and the influences of the Sunday
services will not soon be forgotten.
At the close of the service, Miss
Hom uth sang with excellent effect -
"The Ninety and Nine."
THURSDAY . FTMINOOid.
After devotional exercises, W. II.
Kerr of Brussels gave a "heart Talk,"
taking as the basis of his address -Ro-
mans 12•11, "Not slothful in business,
fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,"
He spoke of energy and industry in
connection with business; it was
equally necessary in Christian work.
Patriotism was manifested by: out
efforts for our country's best welfare.
Our service to God must bo loyal, not
merely formal, but sincere, earnest
and enthusiastic.
Miss Olive Mason then rendered a
ewe iteme
--A special train bearing Sir W. Van
Horne and a party of prominent C. P.
R. officials made a record run from
13randon to Winnipeg Wednesday
last, covering the distance of 134
miles in 120 minutes. A speed of '15
miles per hour was maintained on a
portion of the road,,
-Speaking of .his colonization
scheme, General Booth, of the Salva-
tion Army, said he had been receiving
1,500 applications a day, and names
registered represented something like
100,000 anxious to go abroad. This
year 13,000 were sent abroad, and next
year he hoped that 20,000 or 30,000
would sail,
-Mr. Joseph Wilson of Listowel has
a small apple tree that is a curiosity,
On a small twig, less than a yard
long, and about three-eighths of an
inch thick at the hntt, there formed
no less than 31 apples, growing in
bunches of fives and nearly all well
formed and thriving. The whole en-
ergy of the tree has been directed to
this one favored branch, as very few
apples are growing elsewhere.
-Cattle buyers were pretty badly
hit at Toronto Junction Market on
Monday of last week. About 120 car
loads were offered for sale, mostly fine
export cattle weighing over 1400, and
bought in the neighborhood of"$4.75,
but the very highest offer that could
be got was $4.50, while many loads
sold at $4.40. It is estimated that the
shippers lost seven or eight thousand
dollars on Monday.
-On Thursday last the storehouse
opposite Hensall station ground, used
by D. Urquhart and J. and C. Mc-
Donel, tilted over towards the west.
The supports were not strong enough
to hold up the 8000 bushels of oats
which the building contained, and
this being stored in the upper portion
of the building apparently made it
top heavy. When the building touch-
ed the ground and the slope caused it
to burst and the grain to run out. Im-
mediate steps were taken to save the
contents, nearly all the grain being
gathered up in good condition.
i'
Clinton.
Mr. Hamilton, coal dealer, has up-
loaded some fifty cars of coal during
the present season.
J. J. McCaughey has bought out the
livery business of Harvey Davis, and
took possession on Tuesday. Mr.
Davis will likely go west.
Last week six carloads of Doherty
Organs were shipped, being the
largest .shipment ever made in the
sane time ; it represented 130
organs.
The people of Clinton and elsewhere
will sympathize with Rev. C. Gunne,
the able and popular rector of St.
Paul's church, in the death of his
mother.
The tax rate this year is 29 mills on
the dollar, which is not excessive, and
the total amount to be raised by taxes
is $14879.60, exclusive of nearly $3,000
raised by licenses, fines, interest,
etc.
The finest automobile which has yet
reached here put up at Davis' livery
on Saturday. It was from Boston,
and contained a party of five tourists.
It was almost as large as two double
carriages put together, and was most
elaborate in its equipment, having
cost, it was said, $5,000.
This week will see harvesting opera-
tions in this vicinity pretty well over,
excepting possibly in reference to
peas. Crops are good, and have not
been particularly injured. Oats are
an unusually heavy crop. Peas gen-
erally appear to have escaped the
bug. Roots have suffered somewhat
for want of rain.
W. R. Lough has been re-engaged
as Principal, al, at the same
salary as last
year. This will make his 25th year as
Principal, and will probably be the last
one he will remain in that capacity, as
he some time ago made up his mind to
retire. We have often before alluded
to the fact that the people of this
town were to be congratulated on
having a man of Mr. Lough's ednea-
tion and moral standing at the head of
its public school, and have the greatest
pleasure in re -affirming the same.
The value of his services can never be
estimated properly, because they have
a worth that is not commercial, and
the hundreds of scholars and teachers
that have passed through his hands
into all the avenues of life, are them-
selves the evidences of his fidelity as a
teacher whose model was also the
highest development of moral attri-
butes.
It is generally acknowledged that
the Summer School of 1900, held in
the Town of 'Wingham, was the best
yet held in the district, The ad-
dresses were excellent, and along
right lines ; they cannot fail to exer-
cise an influence on those who listened
to them.
Mitch of the credit of the success is
due to the nntiring energy of the Pre-
sident, Mr. Jno. Kerr, who spared
neither time nor effort, to make the
School a help to the Leagues of the
district. It is regretted that more
Leaguers from a distance did not avail
themselves of the privilege of attend-
ing the School,

WINGHAM
Flour Mills.
There are three things necessary to make
good Flour -Good Wheat, a Good Miller, and
Good Machinery. We have these three in
our mill. A11 the Manitoba wheat we use is
No. 1. This is what "Five Lilies" Flour is
made from. Its strength is not lessened any
by electrical or any other process to make it
white, but it is white, pure and healthy in its
own natural strength. So if you wish the
best Manitoba Flour, be sure and get the
FIVE LILIES." Don't be put off with any
other. If your dealer does not keep it, there
are plenty of others who do.
Our "STAR" Flour is veru popular. We
believe it is the best FAMILY Flour on the
market to -day, as it has the qualities for both
bread and pastry. Give your next order for
"STAR" and you will be satisfied.
Insures farm property against
damage from wind storms, tor-
nadoes, cyeloned, &c.
