Convention of the I9pworth Leagues and Sunday Schools ofe th Winhi 't•'• a n Drs incl was el g t held in the Methodist church, Gorrie, ou '.Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. lith and 10th, and was one of the ninst enjoyaL- hie LLnd successful ever held in the district. The local League hail made splendid preparation for entertaining the various pasture and delegates. Tables were spread hi the basement of the beautiful church and meals were served during Tuesday to the large number of assembled Leaguers. The programme was a good one, and the discussions on the various subjects practical and. helpful. The Convention opened on Tuesday !Warning at 9 o'clock, with devotional exercises conducted by Rev. W. A. Smith, B. D., who occupied the chair throughout the sessions in the absence of the President, Rev. E. G, Powell of Brussels thou gave a very practical talk on the important subject "Sab- bath Schools and Missions." The Nominating committee was appointed consisting of Revs. Osterhaut, Mill - yard, Smith, Powell and Howson, A Resolution coininitee was appointed consisting of Revs. Millyard and Pomeroy, and Mrs. Husser, Rev. J. C, Pomeroy read a splendid paper on "Evangelistic work in connection with the Sunday School," in which he said that only one out of ten in our Sunday Schools were members of the Church and therefore there is great room for evangelistic work. After a '7` brought to h a closthe e Land. tire heg sdelegasion tes adjourned to the basement where din- ner was served by the Gorrie League. This arrangement tended to sociabili- ty and the opportunity was given for all to become acquainted. At the afternoon session the open- ing exercises were conducted by the Secretary, Rev. G. W. Rivers, B. A., B. D„ of Belgrave. Mr. B. Gerry of Brussels was the first to address the Convention during this session. He has had a long experience as a Sunday School teacher and hence was able to treat his subject "The organization and equipment of the Bible Class, iu a very able manner. This subject aroused much discussion along the line of the use of the Sunday School Banner, and all seemed to be of the opinion that it is the very best "help" in use at the present time. At this point the Nominating committee said that they were prepared to report, and the following officers were ap- pointed to bear the responsibilities of the work for the ensuing year :— lion. President—Rev. R. Millyard, LLcknow , President—D. C. Taylor, or Lucknow;.1st Vice Pres, -Miss Brock, Wingham r 2nd Vice Pres.—L. W. Colwell.

Tuesday evening's service opened at 7.30 with a Song service, led by Rev. 'W. A. Smith, after which Mr. Spar - ling sang ,a beautiful solo, "A Clean Heart." The speakers for the evening were Rev. W. G. Howson, of Wing,- ham, inghalo, and Rev. R. Millyard, of Luck - now, Chairman of the District. Rev. Howson. spoke eloquently upon the appropriate subject, "The Epworth League, and was listened to with au attention which showed that his words were appreciated. Rev, R. Millyard's subject was "Work," and in a practi- cal address he emphasized the value of' work in connection with the Epworth Leagues and Sunday Schools. In ad- dition to the musical numbers, well, rendered by the Church choir, choice solos were rendered by Misses Hicks, Laird and Hingston, Miss Joyntr of Lucknow, contributed a recitation, "The light from over the Range,",in pleasing style. The last session of the Convention was held on Wednesday morning, when several ten-minute papers were read by Epsvorth Leaguers, as fellows: Praying ---By Miss May .'Reid, of Brick Church, Bel *rave Circuit.

Smith, 13, D., then ad-. . _. dressed the Convention on"Are the Emmett' Leagues �ccomplishing' their designed purpose." This address led to an interesting discussion, the sum of which was that the Leagues are do- ing well, but might do better. Rev, E. F. Armstrong, 33. A., B. D., gave the closing address— "The dd •e s -- Of Ethel, C i i s ,g h e .worth League as an evangel- istic F p g c , I•Ieroti tit out in his 'stir a en i g y bronght ninny very strong points, which will doubtless be of use to the Leagues throughout the district. Several resolutions were carried unanimously- 1st—A. nanimously._._1st—A. resolution of hearty thanks to the pastor and Epworth League of the Cloak Methodist Church for their excellent entertainment of the Con- vention. 2nd That the hearty thanks of the delegates be tendered those who so kindly and efficiently assisted in the Wednesday evening's service. 8rd---That rts we are kindly invited by the Brussels League to hold tate next Convention at Brussels, we are pleased to aeeept the invitation. The offerings throughout the ses- sions wore very good, also the contri• liutions sent in from Leagues and Sun. day Schools were very good.

BY `1". ,5, BILaNDON, Now ovfor some + al of the sights wo sate in Montreal, 4 ntrciLl First tt twos theChateau de I-taIWezaLy on Notre Dame St., just opposite the imposing front of Mon - treat City !(:i.11, This is aL plain,, old building which seems strangely out of place among the magnificent struc- tures of the present day ; it is clean in appearance with its. plain white walls and well keptlawns, The visi- tor is at once impressed with it ; he sees sornethfn that tells brio this is no common pile of wood and stone; he knows to a certainty that the rambling old place has a history. Two centuries ago, this was the official residence of Claud de Rainezay, one time governor of Montreal, under the French regime, at the trine when .Montreal was a little mediaeval village and the majestic St.Lawrence had not yet become one of the greatest arteries of the world's. commerce.. The Chateau was built in 1700 by Claud de Raxuezay, Governor of Montreal, who held his office and warrant front the King of Franco. One thingthat int !- presses .visitor about the Chateon is the strength of its walls which are eight feet thick, even the second story floor are stone slabs. In one of the vaults of the cellar is where Benjamin Franklin erected his printing press hi 1.7755, Many other things are to be seen here, too many to mention here (go and see then)), Next, wo took a street car for a trip around the• mountain ; it takes the car one hour to make the trip ; this is it delightful ride, the scenery is fine and will repay any one for the ten cents which it costs. Next we visited some of the churches, of which there are many ; most of them are built on a magnificent scale, and the interior of some of them is simply ggrand ; for instance, such as Notre Dame, St. Peter's, St. Ann's, the Jesuits' Temple and we must not forget the great St. James Methodist church, the church of which Methodists have heard so much in days gone by. This is a mas- sive structure and a credit to Method- ism of the Dominion, yes we might say of the world, and it would have been air unpardonable mistake to have allowed it to pass out of the hands of the Church. The Methodism of the Dominion has property in that church for which one million dollars was offered a few days ago and refused. The next place of interest was a trip up the mountain on the inclined rail- way. Here you have a splendid view of the city lying some 800 ft. below where you stand, Then go around to the rY cemet e here are some of the finest monuments I ever saw ; the grounds are well kept and the flowers are, as the girls say, "just, lovely." In this place is a Crematory, which we visited and saw how the bodies are cremated. It takes from two to two and a half hours to cremate abody, and the oven is heated to white heat, When it is done, there is casket, body, and all just about six pounds or one gallon of ashes left (think of it) but the keeper told us it had not yet be- come very popular, as there had been only 58 bodies cremated since it was opened some four years ago. There was an old lady cremated on Saturday and her ashes are going to Germany to be buried. Next is the Victoria Bridge which is le miles long ; it is considered one of the greatest tri- umphs of engineering skill in the world (we walked across this). The old structure was designed by Robert Stephenson and built in 1880. The new bridge was designed and carried out by?'Ir. Hobson, s , e nguieer of G. T. R., and was built in 1899 at an addi- tional cost of $1,500,000 to the old structure which was valued at $6,500,- 000.There are 21 spans in this bridge, each of which are about 260 ft., the middle span being 825 ft. On Saturday afternoon, the Social Union of the Methodist Church, Mon- treal, chartered the steamer Montreal, and took the General Conference and all visitors who wished to go, for a two-hour sail down the river and back again. Before landing, they gave us as fine a lunch as any could wish to sit down to. Then they had ten street cars waiting at the dock to convey us to our homes. They certainly do things on a large scale. There were between 600 and 700 on board. Montreal is a great, dirty city, but her public buildings are massive struc- tures, all built of stone, and leak as though they were built to stand as long as the everlasting hills. We spent Sunday in St. James church ; in the morning we Beard Rev. Dr. McCoy of Alabama, and in the evening Rev. Dr. Cleaver of the Metropolitan church, Toronto, both very able men. I3ere for the first time I saw 5 or 6 Methodist ministers step up into the pulpit with thou gowns on, and I cannot say I have much fault to find with them. The choir was just the old time 'Methodist choir, about 25 of them and about 25 different kinds of dress; they did not even take off their hats (I do not know whether they wonld have looked any better if they had) but it struck me they were not nearly so good looking as our Wingham girls are. As to the singing, we will say nothing by way of comparison between the two choirs. Suffice it to g say the singing n was very good. Monday at 2,15 1 t . we board- ed the steamr Prescottn for Toronto, and bid dear, dirty, old Montreal al good-bye, not sorry for having visited the city,but glad to get start Once more for dear We , Ontar o 3 reached Toronto about 7 a, m. Wednesday, af- ter n pretty rough sail across fake Ontario. I was old that there were e several sailed for England that night; glad to say we were not among the number.

It has frequently been stated that the assessment roll should be pnblisir- ed in the local newspaper, in order to give it publicity. The township of Insquesing has taken another plan, viz. --issuing a special form of the Voters' List, which contains a special column in which is )narked the amount for which each ratepayer is assessed. It forms a convenient basis of comparison that promises to pro- duce an interesting study. Two Dead, One Injured. Although the Rugby football sea- son only recently commenced at To- ronto University, two students, Cameron Paulin and W. Glynn Ellis, are dead, and Ray Forsythe has a broken leg. Such terrible results from playing the game have again given great prominence to the ques- tion ,as to whether the game should not be prohibited. A report is to be made as to Cameron Paulin's death, and the result will likely be to put an end to Rugby at Varsity. Died In Morris. Robert J. McGee of Morris passed away on Wednesday last, in his 27th year, Deceased had a severe illness some months ago, after which it is thought he never fully regained his strength. He was in Wingham a few days before his death, but became worse rapidly. Robert was a steady, industrious young man, and, being the eldest son, will naturally be missed in the home, lie was a member of the Methodist Chureh and Epworth League.

Mitchell, of the schooner Julia Larson was drowned on Oct. 6th, about ten utiles northwest of the Chantry Islands. The schooner was bound down the lake from om Stole9 Bay to Kincardine with a cargo of lumber. Owing to the stroug northwest gale,. the captain decided to seek shelter be- hind the Chantry Islands until the wind should subside, and he bad gone aloft to stow some of the topsails, when a heavy sea struck the vessel, throwing her neatly on her beam ends and tossing the unfortunate captain into the raging waters. Owing to the great velocity of the wind and the heavy sea running, it was impossible to bring the vessel about or lower the yawl to render any assistance, and nothing was seen of the captain again. Captain Mitchell was a resident of Colborne township, and leaves a wife and family, The vessel managed to reach shelter under the lee of the Chantry Islands, and eventually ar- rived safely in Southampton harbor. The unfortunate man was a brother- in-law of Mrs. M. Beckwith of Wing - ham, who on receipt of the sad news, left for the bereaved home. The Advisory Council.
