POWER GOING TO WASTE.
To the Editor of the Advance.
DEAR Sin :-Having noticed your
editorial in your issue of Nov. 14th,
and also the remarks thereon in fol-
lowing issue by "Reader," on "Power
going -to waste," I crave permission to
say a few words on this subject, as it
is a live topic and one which has long
occupied a place in my thoughts.
In the first place, what is the Church
and what is its work on earth ? If tve
read the 1st, 2nd and 3rd chapters of
Revelation, we will get a very good
answer to both questions. Christ,
who is the head of the Church, these
exhorts, commends and rebukes the
then existing Churches in such a man-
ner as to leave little doubt as to what
he expects from them. Also. in Matt.
28:19, 20, we are clearly told what is
the Church's mission on earth. The
writings of the Apostle Paul also get
forth the manner of life and the busi-
ness which should characterize the
ambassador for Christ, and the busi-
ness there set forth should be the
business of everyone who is born of
the spirit, viz., to seek and save the
lost, to preach Christ, to be instant in
season and out of season, to realize
that, as "God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten son that
whosoever believeth in him should
not perish but have everlasting life,"
it is their business to point sinners to
the "Lamb of God which taketh away
the sins of the world" and if necessary
to lay down their life for the truth,
and to "lay aside .every weight and
the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and run with patience the 'race which
is set before us, looking unto Jesns
the author and finisher of our faith."
But instead of this lofty, spiritual
and conunenda,ble state of affairs,
what do we find. The so-called Chris-
tian Church divided into factions and
lines so distinct that in one town the
minister or his wife do not even visit
one of another denomination, even
though they live next door and are in
sickness or trouble. Again, each de-
nomination is divided into clergy and
laity. The clergy says "1 will preach
to you so many sermons a year, if you
promise to pay me so lunch money,"
and thus in that very act denying the
Lord which bought them, not believ-
ing Him when he said "Lo I am with
you alway even unto the end of the
world," and "Are not two sparrows
sold for a farthing," etc. Even the (it
may be) thoughtless farmer displays
more faith than some Heralds of the
cross, for they sow their seed, depend-
ing on God to give them a harvest.
On the other hand. the laity, when
they pay a salary and a hundred and
one other expenses in connection with
theie respective places of worship, feel
that they have discharged their obli-
gation to their Master, and seldom
say a word for Jesus, leaving that foe
the man whom they pay to do it. I
believe that the loss of "Power" is due
to the fact -that the Church to -day is
in a great measure reduced to the
level of a business proposition, and is
conducted on a money basis, just the
same as any worldly enterprise, and
for that reason, pride, that sin which
caused angels to lose their first estate,
creeps in with its blighting, withering
influence. Pride causes a Church to
go into debt and the debt gives them
more concern than the salvation of
souls. Sometimes they Will stoop to
qaestionable means, such as tea -meet-
ings, entertainments, funny stories,
renting of pews, etc., in order to get
money to wipe oft that debt, and all
these things are only playing into the
haeds of the enemy of souls. If a
minister goes after a trian whom he
knows to be unsaved and tries to point
him to the way of life (and this with
the best of intentions on the part of
the minister) the man will probably
say to himself •'Oh he is after my cash
to help run his show," and thus will
turn a deaf ear to the words of life.
In making these statements, I wish to
say. that they are not to be taken as
including all, for I know there are
many to whom this will not apply,
many who are working far Jesus out
of pure, unselfish love. I3n1 in gen-
eta], 1 fear, this is the condition of the
Church to•day, in my estimation, and
accounts for the tremendous loss of
power. Yours very truly,

HURON COUNTY COUNCIL.
Huron County Council is in session
in Wingham, as we go to 'press. The
meeting was to have been held in God
-
elicit, but on account of the small -pox
there, to avoid danger, the place of
meeting was changed to Wingham.
The first session opened on Tuesday
evening, After a brief address from
the Warden, the minutes were read
and approved.
Wingham Town Council then ap-
peared, and Mayor Holism read an
address of welcome, which was suit-
ably acknowledged.
The Directors or Wingham Hos-
pital, and the Chairman of the High
School Board, extended an invitation
to the Councilloes to visit these well-
equipped institutions. The invitations
were accepted, and 2 p.m. Wednesday
fixed for the visits.
A number of accounts were pre-
sented.
The report of the Grand Jury was
read, as to the condition of the House
of Refuge and the County Gaol.
A communication was read asking
co-operation to secure assistance from

Also a claim of $203 for loss of a

After other nnimportant routine,
the Council adjourned to meet at
10 a. m. on Wednesday.
The rest of the report must be held
over till next issue.
LOCAL OPTION NOTES.
(By the Local Option Committee.)-'
Of all the childish nonsense to
emanate from a body of otherwise
reasonable men, the petition of the
Commercial Travellers' Association to
the Government re Local Option, as
reported in the Wingham Advance
last week, bangs 13anagher. The peti-
tion is said to be, that after a Local
Option By -Law has been carried by
the required three-fifths majority, the
Government shall- nutke enquiries,
and if proper accommodation for the
travelling public (which means prin-
cipally the commercial travellers) will
not be provided, that the Government
either provide such accommodation or
else disregard the expressed will! of
the people, and grant licenses to those
hotels that will. Talk aboat class
legislation! We had been taught
fondly to believe that the object of
legislation was the greatest good to
the greatest number, and the govern-
ment of this country was by a majori-
ty vote of those voting. Bub here is a
body of men forming an infinitesimal
fraction of the population demanding
that the expressed will of the majori-
ty, even when that majority consists
of three-fifths of a polled vote, shall be
set on one side so that they can get 8.
better dinner and a more comfortable
bed. We do not want our boys de-
stroyed by whiskey, but we aro to be
compelled, against our will, to have
open, public places of temptation
where 'Med of principle" (+-ittve the
inarkl) will sell them all the whiskey
they went so as to enable some coin••
mercial travellers to feed a little more
daintily, and sleep a little more softly
than they might otherwise do. One
m
thing is certain the Comercial 'Tea
-
yellers' Association and those who
support them in this demand still have
thew nerve with them. No fear of
nervone prostration for them.
Then we are told the limier licenses
are in the hands of "men of principle"
10 Wingharo. A prominent business
man who has a store on Josephine
street, pnblicly stated not long ago
that he was entering a Wingham hotel
with a commercial traveller. In the
hall a woman was talking with the
proprietor. The tears were running
down her face as she pleaded with him
not to sell any nore liquor to her boy.
The human fiend, who we are assured
is a "man of prineiple," laughed in her
fete, and. said, "I'll sell him all the
liquor he wants as long n: he has five
cents to pay for it." God save this
Lown from any Mete snch "men of
principle."
If ALL the 11001 XeeperS ere "men
of principle," why is there any need ef
itt "indian List" for any Winghatn
reSident ?

W. R. GIIEEN'S OPFER.
W. H. Green submitted an offer in
writing, for the purchase of the Elec-
tric Light plant, which the Town
bought from him a few years ago.
The offer was, in substance, as fol-
lows :-
He would take over the plant in its
present condition, n,nd pay .the deben-
tures for which the Town Is liable, as
they fall clue. He would assume the
indebtedness for the new alternator
recently installed, and pay for the
repairs now being made on the engine
in Galt, on condition that the Town
would grant him a franchise for ten
years. He would bind himself not to
increase the cost of electricity during
that term of ten years, and he would
,on acceptance of his offer and con-
veyance of the plant to him, give an
all-night service, for at least s.ix
months in the year, commencing
forthwith. The offer to rermtin open
one week.
The offer seemed to be regarded
favorably by the Council, and Mr,
Green was called for by phone for fur-
ther explanation. He then gave his
reasons for the offer. He had sold the
,plant in good faith, and considered
that the Town got good value. Since
then, however, it had been said, that
he had "done" the Town. To free him-
self from this accusation, he now
made this ()dee in eqiiall y good
faith,
As the Council wished 8. few days
to consider the offer, and it would
have to be submitted to the electors
for their approval, Mr. Green was
asked to extend the time to eight
weeks. To this he agreed.
It was then moved by Coons. Kerr
and Gordon -That the offer of W. H.
Green be referred to the Executive
Coinmittee, to look into, and report at
an early date -carried.
By-law No. 570, to provide for the
election of Councillors and School
Trustees passed its several stages.
The nomination will be bold Dec. 30,
and the election, on January 6111, as
follows :-
Ward I. -At J. B. Cume•
mins'; 11. B.
Elliott, D. R. 0., J. FrAgle, poll
clerk.
Ward 2. --At the Advance office; Jas.

clerk.
Ward 3. -At the Town Hall; S. B.
Ferguson, D. R. 0., A. Dulmage,
poll clerk.
Ward 4. -At John Lougheed's ; D.
Lougheed, D. R. 0., John Elder,
poll clerk.
Aelast session of the Legislature, it
was previded that Councillors might
be elected for two years, on the pass-
ing of a By-law to that effect by the
Council, and approved by vote of the
electors. On motion of Coitus. Nic-
holson and Gordon, the By-law was
read first and secood time, but died a
premature death, no one supporting it
but the mover and seconder.
On motion of Couns. Bell and Gre-
gory, the grant of $310 to the Public
Library was paid.

A Good Move.
All over Ontario the tightness of
the money market has caused consid-
erable commotion with the merchants
and business men at large. Meetings
are being held among merchants in
various towns with the view to adopt-
ing Lite cash system. What the out-
come of their efforts will be remains
to be seen. One thing is certain, the
move is a proper one and should be
supported by the business men and
merchants generally.

matt SCHOOL NOTES.
The Week's Doings, as Recorded by
the H. S. Press Reporters.
We are pleased to note that 14.
Green has returned to school after
his illness.
The boys held a meeting last week
for the purpose of organizing a hockey
team. A committee of three was
appointed to interview the manager of
the rink. J. G. Workman, B.A., was
made manager. If satisfactory ar-
rangements cannot be made, it is pro-
posed to flood part of the school -
grounds and use as a rink. The girls
heartily endorse the last arrangement,
Our Literary of last week was one
of the most interesting meetings we
have had. Mr. A. H. Musgrove gave
us a very interesting address on
"Books." He pointed out the benefits
derived from reading the works of our
standard authors, such as Dickens,
Scott and Elliott, and Alcoved us the
harm of reading light novels, which
so often contain nothing of real value.
This week's edition of the High
School Journal was exceptionally
good. One of the editorials suggested,
that as the debaters in the recent de-
bate had affirmed that the Japs were
such excellent; mathematicians, they
might be engaged to add up the rows
upon rows of figures, given as a pen-
ance to late -comers, by our unfeeling
niathematical teacher.
Some of our students are evidently
etudying too late at night, for even
the excitement of "Macbeth" failed to
keep one of the students in econd
form awake recently, during the liter-
ature period.

evening, the barn
belonging to William Cook, .5th
line of Morris, near Sunshine,
was burned with all its contents
Mr. Cook lives some distance from
his barn, and was feeding his
cattle, that were running around
loose. He placed the lantern on the
mower, and the cattle knocked it
over, with the result that the barn,
with all the feed it contained was
btirned.
United States Subscribers.
Subscribem to The Advance, who
reside in the United States, will please
renew their subscriptions promptly.
Most of these terminate Dec. 31s1, and
on account of the heavy postage tax,
we must enforce the rule of payment
in advance. The postage on one copy
of the Advance weeirly.for a year is
52 cents, so that we have had to place
the subscription at $1.50. We do not
want to lose any of our U. S. readers,
but we really cannot afford to pay
the exorbitant postage rate.

chase the Electric Light plant. The

Mrs. McKibbon, relict of the late
Phillip McKibbon, passed away on
Monday afternoon, after an illness of
several months. Deceased was an ex-
ceptionally fine woman, most highly
esteemed by all who enjoyed the pleas-
ure of her acquaintance. For thirty-
five years, she has been a resident of
Wingham. Her husband died about
sixteen years ago. Mrs. McKibbon
was a member of Wingham Methodist
()hutch, and while health permitted,
was seldom absent from the services
of the Lord's Day. She leaves one son,

ham. The remains were taken on

Death.
At Home.
The Adult Bible Class of Wingham
Methodist Church, held an enjoyable
"At Home" on Thursday evening last.
There was a large number present,
who much enjoyed an hour of social
intercourse. The ladies sang a chorus,
and Mr. Beckwith gave an original
production, "The Modern Van
Winkle," which was well received.
Numerous small articles were distrib-
uted, and the receivers were asked to
write a few lines on the one they re-
ceived. The responses in nutny cases
were amusing. This part of the even-
ing's entertainment closed with a
chorus by the male members of the
class. The curtains were then drawn
aside, revealing tastily arranged
tables, with appetizing ref veshmen ts.
As usual, these were <much enjoyed.
The whole evening was a success from
a social standpoint, which was the
object in view.
