GENERAL CONFERENCE NOTES.
BY T, S. BRANDON.
(Continued from last week.)
Having reached the great St, James
Methodist church, under the direction
of the kind friends referred to in our
last letter, our first duty was to secure
a home during our stay. This was
soon arranged, ed owing to
g , w g the generosi-
ty of the Methodist people of Mon-
treal and the efficient officers of the
billeting committee of the General
Conference, which was in full swing
when we arrived. Wo then sought
something to refresh the inner man,
for though it was now about 8 p. in.,
we had had no supper. We ate our
first meal prepared and set up by Chi-
nese cooks, which we devoured with a
relish, asking no questions for stom-
ach sake, because we were thoroughly
hungry and even if wb had not:: been,
no fault could have been found with
the.spread, • From there we hastened.
to the church, where the Rev. Dr. Mc-
Coy of Birmingham, Alabama, the
representative of the M. E. Church
South, was to deliver his fraternal ad-
dress to the General Conference of
the Methodist Church in Canada. If
Dr. McCoy be a fair representation of
the M. E. Church South and of the in-
tellectual manhood of the south, nei-
ther the Chitral or the Nation have
any reason to offer any apology for
- xistence. Ile first drew a strong but
true picture of the past, present and
future of Canadian Methodism. Then
turning to his native land, the sunny
south, he revelled in beautiful pictures
and in flashes of wit and humor over
the glories of the south land, which
was fast recovering, indeed had re-
covered, from the struggle of the Civil
War, and, was a better south because
' of that bloody, bitter struggle. He
pictured to us the triumphs of that
wonderland along the political, com-
mercial, social, intellectual and re-
ligious aspect of the south, and we ave
sure while Dr. McCoy lives, southern
Methodism and southern triumphs
shall never lack an enthusiastic advo-
cate.
It was a great privilege to attend
the sessions of the General Confer-
ence, to hear some of the giants strug-
gling with each other in an intellec-
tual battle for the triumph of deeply -
cherished convictions on matters of
policy concerning the government of
the Church. The question which
`fat' brought out the strobgest expression
of opinion was the missionary prob-
lem, which for over thirty years has
been under the direction of Dr. Suth-
erland as general missionary secre-
tary. The committee recommended a
change of policy, which would bring
two general secretaries into the field,
each with equal powers, but one for
the foreign and the other for the do-
mestic field. N. W. Rowell of Toron-
to was the champion for the change
of policy which was declared to be
favored by almost every member of
Missionary Board, and strongly re-
commended by the committee. Dr.
Sutherland put up a vigorous fight for
the continuance of the old policy, and
many thought he took his stand be-
cause he could not brook opposition
or condescend to share honor and re-
sponsibility .with another. Sooner
than this he would resign and actually
did resign, whena sort of compromise
resolution was passed which practi-
cally meant the same thing as that
recommended .by the committee.
is With a little coaxing he was after-
-"ward induced to accept the position of
associate secretary, to which he was
elected by ii very large majority.
Rev. Jas. Allen was elected to the
position of associate secretary with
Dr. Sutherland.
Rev. Mr. Creighton, who has been
filling the position of editor of the
Guardian since Rev. Mr. Bond's ill-
ness, was elected to the editorship.
With these two exceptions, I think all
the old connexional officers were re-
elected. Bev, Dr. Carman, the vener-
able general superintendent, holds
with apparently undiminished ability,
the reigns of power, and does not hesi-
tate to call a man down, be he minis-
ter or layman, if he is out of order or
is not talking to the question.
Now Mr. Editor, there are many
other things I might say but perhaps
have said too much already so will
stop for this time.

and the Mayor voting, there was a
deadlock, and the matter was left
over until legal opinion as to the
Mayor's voting powers be ascertained.
NOTE—The law in the case gives the
Mayor a vote, and then if the vote is
a tie, the notion is negatived.

came the bride of Attorney J. Win-

ington. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Canon Beaulands, rector of
the Church. The bride, who was un-
attended, was handsomely gowned in
pearl grey silk, with chiffon overdress
richly trimmed with cream applique
and chiffon, embroidered with blue
forget-me-nots. A pearl grey fancy
+straw hat trimmed with pink roses

perous and happy future. The Ad-

His First Anniversary.
By the London papers, we notice
that Rev. Wm. Lowe, formerly of
Wingham, has just closed a successful
year in St. Matthew's Church, Lon-
don. During the year, there were 31
baptisms, 0 marriages, 10 burials, 10
confirmed and 16 public celebrations
of the Holy Communion ; $1,221.59
was raised for subscriptions, and $133.-
02 for missionary purposes ; $200 was
paid on the debt and $150 interest.
The thank offerings on the Sunday
closing the Rector's first year there,
were $82.87. Mr. Lowe also received
the following letter from the Bishop
of Huron :—
MY DEAn Mn. Lover.—The account
of your services on Sunday cheered
Inc exceedingly. You have indeed
done grand work and fully justified
my confidence in you. May you still
prosper more abundantly. It may
cheer yon to learn that the Committee
on London Rectory Surplus hits re-
ported and I have approved of the re-
port. The Rector of St. Matthew's is
to receive eleven shares instead of
nine. Believe me, yours faithfully,
David Huron.
The increase of two shares means an
increase of stipend of $50, so that Mr.
Lowe has received an inerease of $150
in salary during the year, Mr. Lowe's
many friends in Wingham :.will be
pleased to hear that the work is pros-
pering under his faithful oversight,

McKague•Homuth Wedding.
The ncarriage of Miss Bertha Jane
McKague and Mr. Albert Edward
Homuth took place at the residence
of the bride's parents, Turnberry, at
high noon on Wednesday, the 28th
ult. They were married under an
arch of evergreens on the lawn, Rev.
D. Perrie, Wingham, officiating. The
bride was taken out andiven away
Y
by her father. She wore a lovely
dress of cream eolienno with white
veil, and carried a shpwer bouquet of
white carnations. She was attended
by her two little nieces, Misses Minnie
Porter and Lizzie McKague, daintily
dressed in fluffy white frockies and
carrying a basket of sweet peas and
chrysanthemums. From the parlor
the strains of the Bridal Chorus were
distinctly heard, and after the cere-
mony, Mendelssohn's Wedding March
was played by Miss Houghton of
Wingham. The bride's going -away
suit was of blue venetian, with hat to
match. The groom's gift to the bride
was an amethyst brooch, and to each
of the flower girls a gold ring studded
with small pearls and rubies. A large
collection of valuable presents bore
evidence of the esteem of many
friends. After dejeuner, which was
served to some eighty guests in the
dining room, several snapshots were
taken of the bridal party and also of
the patents of both parties together,
in separate groups. Among the guests
from a distance were Mrs. T. G. Turn-
bull, Kamoka ; Miss Ethel Turnbull,
Galt; Mr. and Mrs. R, D. Cameron,
Lucknow ; Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford,
Mr. and Mrs. Durnin, St. Helens ; Mr.
H. H. McKague, Toronto.

Killed At Railway Crossing.
A fatal accident occurred at the C.
P. R. crossing on Josephine street,
just north of the Chair factory, on
Friday evening, when a man named
James Jobb was instantly killed. So
far as can be learned, Jobb worked for
Mr. Isaac Metcalfe of Glenannan, and
both had been in town to the Fall
Fair. Not being able to find his man,
Mr. Metcalfe concluded he had gone
home with the horse and buggy, and
therefore he took the late train, little
thinking what an awful accident
would take place a few moments later.
The train left on its way to Teeswater,
and at the crossing on Josephine St.
came in contact with his horse and
buggy, with which James Jobb was
driving homewards. The engine -dri-
ver became aware that something was
wrong, and stopped the train, when
the lifeless body of a man was found
near the sidewalk, upon which it had
been hurled. The probability is that
death was almost instantaneous, as
his neck was broken. Mr. Metcalfe
alighted from the train, with others,
and made the awful discovery that it
was his own hired man who had thus
instantly been ushered into eternity.
The train was backed up to the station
with the body of the deceased, and
medical aid summoned. The buggy
was badly .damaged, and the horse
seriously injured. The deceased bore
no serious bruises except one just back
of the ear ; this blow probably was
sufficient to cause death. On Satur-
day Chief Vannorman summoned a
jury, and Coroner Dr. J. P. Kennedy
administered the oath to the following
citizens :—R. Johnston, W. J. Greer,
J. D. Burns, L. Lott, P. Tansley, A.
Cosens, T. A. Mills, A. Crawford, J.
Campbell, R. H. Crowder, Messrs. Mc-
Master and Evans. After viewing the
body, the inquest was adjourned until
Wednesday evening, to take the evi-
dence in the case. It seenis strange
that an accident should occur at that
crossing, where electric bells are
placed. The driver was a most careful
one, and the warning whistle is always
sounded at the crossing. The deceas-
ed is said to have been an industrious,
honest man ; he was unmarried, and
probably about 35 years of age.

of the C. P. R., in an interview said,
referring to the Guelph to Goderich
branch : "We will have the line com-
pletely ready for service as far as Salt -
ford, just over the river from God-
erich, before winter sets in. We are
working away at the Goderich end,
but it has been a big job getting over
the river.
The per capita consumption in Can-
ada of alcoholic liquors and tobacco
during the year ending June 30, 1006,
was as follows :--Spirits,, nearly one
gallon (over nine -tenths); beer. 15
gallons; wine, about seven -tenths of a
gallon ; tobacco, ahnost three pounds.
This is a decrease in spirits and an in-
crease in beer, wine and tobacco com-
pared with previous years.

A letter from W. II. Hele, formerly
of Wingham, informs us that he is
going to Calgary. He says they have
just finished a rock cut seven miles
long, on the Jaynes Bay railway, about
45 miles from Sudbury. Mr. Hole
says he asked a prominent Liberal (a
relative) how Hugh John Macdonald
stood in the estimation of the people.
The reply was "There is not a more
'
popular man n rrt Manitoba to•cl;ty, but
he is toe, honest to be a politician."
That's pretty good for the "old man's"
son, but rather hard on the politicians
Isn't it?
