At St. Paul's, next Sunday morning, the Rector will preach on "The Pro- testantism of the Church." .A. unanimous call has been extend- ed from the united congregations Of Wliiteehureh and Latugside to the Rev, Geo, P. Duncan of Unionville. The annual Convention of Wing - ham District Epworth League will be held in the Methodist church, Gorrie, on October Oth and 10th. A good pro- gram, dealing Sunday and eage topics, will be discussed. Pastor Fitch's subject next Sab- bath morning will be—"Three Notes in the Christian Chorus," This will be of special interest to the young Chris- tians, and it is hoped that as many as can come will be present The even- ing subject will be—"The Supreme Virtue of the Christian Character." The Rev, W. G. Howson of the Methodist, Church will occupy his own pulpit next Sunday, In the tnotniug, e will preach theannual sermon to the Foresters of this town and neigh- borhood.

English of East Windsor, Conn., salaries in the United States have increased substantially in the last ten years except in the minis- try, where clergymen have stood an "e" average cut of 10 per cent. In the opinion of Dr. English, who has been collecting statistics from Congrega- tional clergymen throughout the country, the Y. M. C. A. has been magnified at the expense of the minis- try as furnishing a broader and freer field for Christian service. The minis- try has in consequence lost prestige and influence. According to Dr. Eng- lish's figures, there are now 2,000 Con- gregational clergymen without charg- es, more than 500 of whom would be glad of employment. With this num- ber of unemployed still increasing rapidly, the number of students is also decreasing. The worldly spirit of the age, in the United States is said to be one of the causes. Money -getting is the chief object, and people seem to have little time or inclination for re- ligions matters. Statistics presented at the General Conference of the Methodist Church now in session, show that the mem- bership of the Church is now 317,717, an increase of 25,822. There are now 1,811 ministers, an increase of 19. Class leaders number 5,011, which is a decrease of 1,180. This is the only de- crease shown by the statistics. There are now 3,552 Sunday schools, an in- crease of 127. The schools contain 274,300 scholars, an increase of 1,740. `The total force of the Church numbers 3233 ,729, an increase of 13,030. The Sunday schools raised $222,434, an in- crease of $30,0'77. Young people's so- cieties and leagues now number 1,804, an increase -of 55. These raised $313,- 170, an increase of $68,162. Their membership is 75,845, an increase of 0,443. The churches number 3,610, an increase of 203. The total value of church property is $21,129,768, an in- crease of $4,327,330. The debt upon churches and parsonages has decreas- ed by $91,375. The amount raised for all purposes was $13,720,850, an in- crease of $2,809,379. The• amount raised for connexional purposes was $2,620,995, an increase of $918,380. • The missionary contributions amount- ed to $1,466,400, an increase of $348,- 190. ;. - ELOQUENT WORDS.

Sparling, the editor's family enjoyed a mess of delicious speckled trout one day last week. Mr. Sparling is a good fisherman, but now lays aside his rod and line until the opening of another season. The kindness of Mr, S. was appreciated. The General Conference of the 'Methodist Church is in session in Montreal. Rev. Dr. Carman, General Superintendent, closed his address to the Conference in the following elo- quent words"And now and here is our oppor- ew tunity. Napoleon said he made op- portunity. True enough of valiant souls that ventured out on the untried and unseen. Our country is a glori- ous opportunity, and the doors of the peoples everywhere are wide open. Canada has become a name to arouse and to charm with all over the globe. They come to us from every clime, for they have heard afar our fame. '1 hear the tread of pioneers, Of nations yet to be ; Tho first low wash of waves where yet Shall roll a human sea. The rudiments of Empire here Are plastic yet and warm ; The elements of a mighty world Are rounding into form.' "I see it in our educational institu- tions. I see it in out• missionary en- terprises. I see it in our laws, our Parliaments, ottr courts, and in our civil and political freedom. I see it in our churches and their fraternity ; in our immense natural resources, ottr trade and commerce, and their gen- eral integrity, and in our social, moral and industrial movements, with their lofty purpose and noble attainments. "I hear it when we pronounce upon temperance and moral reform ; when an Imperial medical association brands race suicide as infamous, and proclaims its sense of obligation to frown upon vice and encourage and maintain social virtue. I hear it when we enact advanced Sunday laws and anti -gambling and anti -usury laws, and seek their vigorous enforce- ment. This is patriotism. This is working towards a healthful, religious and social atmosphere, and this is the kingdom of God, whose advancement we are here to promote, Haat Tae, whose right it is, may reign in human hearts and in human society and in. stitutions throughout the world, If you have not been participating in the great Bargains now being elven at D.

And what is worse, this prophet of evil declares more earthquakes are coming. If you hap- pen to live in 1989, when the final general shakedown occurs, you will witness all the cities of all the nations laid low on the junk heap. Finally, from 2035 to 3144 A. D., the earth is to be in perpetual perturbation, but in the latter year it will right itself to its upright position and the new heaven and the new earth then begin. Really, it's worth waiting for.

This is the way the Oshawa Vindi- cator refers to the visit of the British Medical Association to Canada :—"All the leading medical men of the British Empire are hob-nobbing in Toronto this week. From far and from near they have coine to tell how they save lives by carving people up and dosing them with potions of all sorts. Some cut out sections from his or her back- bone, and replace them with pillars of cement. They can remove a person's brain and fill the immense chasm with axle grease, after which his thoughts will flow so swiftly that he has to have a coaster brake put upon them. If a man wants to be a kicker they can take off his hind legs and substi- tute a mule's. If there are germs in his blood they drain off the fluid, put it through a cream separator, and then inject it back into his blood vessels." Property Transfers. Mrs. helps has sold her residence on Alfred St., opposite the Town Park, to Fred. W. Stricken Mr. and Mrs. G. P.

Tatnlyn's effort to secure an all-night electric light ser- vice has been well supported by the citizens. It would be a great conven- ience to those using lights, and no doubt the Council will grant the peti- tion so numerously signed. Then abolish the fiat rate altogether and make everybody pay for all the light they use. Put every user of light on the same footing ; no special privi- leges. We are ready for the fall trade with a choice stock of Millinery to choose from. Call on its ; next door to Han- na's.—Miss Little. Officers Elect.

Porter; 1st Vice Pres., Mr. A. J. Al- derson ; 2nd Vice Pres., Miss Letitia Robinson; Secretary, Miss Lizzie Fleuty; Treasurer, Mr. J. E. McGuire. Several committees were also appoint- ed, and the Society is Iooking forward to many interesting meetings during the coming winter months. Railway Wreck. A sacl accident occurred on Wednes• day last to the Harvest excursion westward. Wlten near Sudbury the west -bound train was crashed into by the express train from the west. Thirteen persons were killed and many injured. Fortunately those from this vicinity escaped both death and in- jury. The accident is said to have been caused by the failure of the brakes on the east -bound train to work properly. Postmaster Fisher, of Wingham, was on the east -bound train, returning from the west, and in speaking to a reporter in Toronto, said "The scene was indescribable. Three cars were smashed into kin- dling wood. The dead and injured Were buried under tons of debris, and the wounded were erying for water and help. Jacks and skids were used to release the living and recover the dead bodies. The lat- ter were laid out on the grass, side by side, nghastly sight. There were six of seven, ami. ]tact turned black. The people from both trains quickly crowded up to the awful scene and many men worked like heroes to relieve those pinned under the wreckage. The wound- ed had suffered ntostiy from being bruised and mangled. 4 saw ono ratan whose leg appeared to be smashed to a jelly, another halt his hip badly bort, and others evi- dently had suffered fractures of the skull. The dead seemed. to have no relatives or friends on the train, which made their fate ap- pear alt the more pethetie." A lull account of the accident will bo found on page 2, Died In Kincardine, The Kincardine Reporter has the following reference to the death of a e a former resident o f Wingham, and noire of Mrs, Semi, Lockridge;--t'On Sunday morning the death of Mrs, J. J. Goodwin occurred at the residence of her husband in Kincardine. De- ceased was formerly Miss Cora B. .vans of Wailacebttrg, and was only married about a year ago, The death is a particularly sad one, mi infant baby girl surviving the mother. Mrs. Goodwin was nineteen years of age, and since coming to reside here had made a number of warm friends who will regret to learn of her death." Would it Be Wise. According to the 1000 amendment to the C. S. 0„ 1000, any municipality may pass a by-law making a two-year terse instead of one as now, for mem- bers of councils, This would necessi- tate a sufficient number of electors to petition the existing council to pass such a by-law. The by-law would then be submitted to the electors for approval. If a majority were in favor for a two-year term the council would finally pass the by-law and the new act would be in force until repealed by a similar operation, There is much to be said in favor of the two-year terns. It would at least stake the office more desirable and the administration more economical. If the people desire such a change they have it in their power to have a by-law submitted at any time, even before the next nomination day. FASTED.-- WiIl pay the highest price for chickens and hens, to be de- livered any day except Saturday.—W. Armour & Son, The Rifle Effective. Last Saturday, Mr. Fells and his assistant were attempting to bring an heifer from a farm near town to the slaughter house. Whether the ani- mal knew what was ahead of her, or was annoyed by the noise of a corn - cutting machine near by, she objected to being led or driven to the slaughter and charged on those who attempted to corner her. She held the fort, and it was necessary to call in Fred. Teb- butt, who with his Winchester rifle soon reduced her to submission ; she is now where butchers and Winches- ters cease from troubling, and where fat heifers are at rest.
