The Eastertide,
In all the churches special attention
is givetz to Easter MerttorieS. Uttitce
publie thought is generally drew!' in
that alrectIon, and it is well that this
Is the ease. The oecaslon is one of
euch special signifleance, hotvever,
that a word or two in the secutar
press is in keeping with the impor-
tance of the subject.
The recurrence of the Eastertide
causes in the mind of the thoughtful
tningled feelings of sadness
and joy.
One who fully understeods' and ap-
preciates all that is meant and com-
prehended in the sacrifice of Christfor
a fallen world, is not likely to pass• the
anniversary of this crucifixion, with-
out feelings of Sadness, for two rea-
sons i-1st—Because humanity had
fallen from so great a height, and
se/1k so low in the abyss of guilt, that
nothing less than the sacrifice of a
Divine Savior could provide a means
of rescue from man's fallen condition.
and—Because of the intensity of the
physical and mental suffering borne
by an innocent Savior for the guilt of
others, for "Surely Heewas wounded
for our trangression, He was bruised
for our iniquities; the claastisement of
our peace was upon Him, and with
His etripes we are healed."—Isaiah
53: 5.
But any feelings of sadness caused
by the thoughts of man's fall, the hu-
miliation of Christ, his sufferings in
Getlasemene and on Calvary, are dis-
pelled by the extiberance of joy be-
cause of the dawn of the Easter morn,
and the fact of the empty sepulehre.
No facts of secular history rest on
more solid foundation, than do the
great fundamental doctrines, of the
death of Christ for the sins of this
guilty world, and his resurrection
from the dead. One legal mind (a
Judge) has said that the eVidence pn
these basal truths when weighed by
the strict laws of evidence, is so over-
whelming, that it must be admitted as
satisfactory, if presented in the high.
estOourts in the land. It is well that
so important a matter as man's salva-
tion,. stands on so solid a foundation.
The fortress of Christianity is impreg-
nable. .. •
The Eastertide may then have its
tinge of sadness, but the joy is greater
than the sorrow. The vacant tomb,
the risen Savior, the assurance by the
resurrection that His sacrifice was suf-
ficient, and further, the ascension of
Christ to the right hand of the Fath-
er, where "He ever leveth to intercede
for us"—all tend to confirm our faith,
strengthen our hopes, and increase our
joy. Let us then rejoice because of
the Easter morn, and the assurances
that it brings.
We cannot close this brief reference
to the approaching festival better
than. by quoting the words of the
poet
The rising God forsakes the tomb,
The tomb in vain forbids him rise;
Cherubic legions guard him home,
And shout Isins welcome through the
skies.
Break off your tears, ye saints and
tell, [reigns;
How high your great deliverer
Sing how he spoiled the hosts of
hell,
And led the monster death in
chains.
Say, "live for ever, wondrous King,”
Born to redeem wed strong to save;
Then ask the Monster, "where's thy
sting,"
And, "where's thy victory boasting
grave ?"

Storms." These subjects are saturat-
ed with the Easter spirit, Strangers
always welcome.
Rev. T. S. Boyle delivered on Sun-
day evening the last of his addresses
to young men. The text for the
oceasion was Ephes. 4 :13, After jus-
tifying the choice of subject, ."Makang
the most of life," by stating that
christianity was for the present world
and for every day, he proceeded to
treat the development of true man-
hood along foto, lines. A man should
care first for his physical well being,
for that was the foundation. Next,
he should cultivate his mental gifts,
be they large or small. Then he
shonld strive to learn the science of
living -with men for this was a awls-
tian daty. Lastly, he shoeld develop
his spiritual side, his soul. No man
should be ashamed to take Christ for
his ideal, and every man should devote
his best talents to the service of God
and his fellowman, There was a large
congregation present.
Anaiversary Services.,
Last Sunday was Epworth League
anniversary day in Wingham 'Metho-
dist Onurch, and the speaker was Rev.
R. Hobbs, of Toronto. His morning
sermon was based on the text—
"What will thou have ale to do ?"
Acts 9:6. He began by saying that
this question confronted every person
at the entrance of the christian life.
He submitted four propositions: 1—
Every man has a mission according to
the will of God. 2—He may know
that mission. 3—He may fulfill that
mission. 4 --The equipment for ful-
fillment of that mission was available.'
In the evening, Mr. Hobbs took for
bis text, I Cots 14:8—"For if the-
trumeet give an uncertain sound, who
shall prepare himself to the battle,"
The warlike natore of the christian
life was referred to, and the existence
of enemies was pre -supposed. Somee
of the enemies of the Church to -day
were named—lst, Undue or extreme.
worldliness ; 2nd, Undue attention to
the amusements and sports 'of the
dot 3rd, Unsettled tonvictioxts on
Christian doctrine; 4th—The numer-
ous fads of the present day. Some of
these were handled "without gloves."
Mr. Hobbs has lost none e. his earn-
estnessor vigor, and was listenecl to
with great interest. In the morning,
the church was fell, and in the even
ing every seat was occupied, and a
hundred or snore chairs had to be
brought up from the lecture -room.
Miss Laura Homuth, soloist, -of Toron-
to, added interest to the occasion by
assisting the chola and by excellently
rendered solos. In the morning she
meg "The Publican," and in the even-
ing "My Redeemer and Lord." Miss
Homuth's many friends in her native
town were delighted with her singing
and are pleased to hear of the progress
she is making in the use of her vocal
abilities. On Monday evening an
interesting program was rendered,
consisting Of recitations by Mrs. J.
Pattison of East Wawanosh, cornet
solos by Mr. Jas. Duncan, vocal selec-
tions by Miss Laura. Honauth and Mr.
Frank Hill, selections by the League
choir, and an address by Rev. Mr.
Hobbs. Dr. Price °copied the oheir.
There was a good attendance, and
every itein on the program was well-
rebdered and thoroughly _enjoyed.
This brought to a close the most suc-
cessful anniversary services the
League has ever held,
A .11INT TO THE FARMERS.
To the Editor:
Dear Sits—With year kind permis-
sion, I veould like to say, through
your columns, a few words to the
farmers of this neighborbood. t have
no personal interest in the result of
this appeal. It is written solely in
the interests of the farmers them-
selves and the town in which we live.
In conversation with one Of the lead-
ing rnerehttnts of Wingham, I was
surprised to find how the farmers
hereabouts are letting the opportnei-
ties of making money slip through
their flitgers. The merchant referred
to complained that it was almost im-
possible to get fresh eggs in winter
when prices were up to U5' or 40 cents
a dozen. That poultry for the table
was difficult to obtain the year round,
except perhaps about Thanksgiving
and Christmas. That even such farm
products as ohions (that bring very
renratierative prices), carrots, pars-
nips and other vegetables Were s0.

in older to Supply his customers. It
is surely a strange* anomaly that we
have to send to the city for farm pro -
duets. The getitlernen above referred
to, said to ine, that he had suggested
to the farmers doing business in his
store that they should endeavor to
Meet this demencl for such produets.
but he could get from them no intelli-
gent revert:3o, nor even the promise
of tonsideretion. Ite said the fartnets
contcl make potketfois of money in
these lines, if they would, as the de-
mited is SO innate goatee than the
supply. It is It well known fact that
petal, when given proper Attention,
will bring in far move profit than
either wheat or stock, in proportion
to money invested. But farmers will

Candidates In North Huron.
Since the article on North Huron,
in last issue was written, the political
outlook has broadened, and a number
of candidates are likely to be in the
field. A Convention of delegates has
been called, for Thursday, April 23rd,
and will be held in the town of
Wingiaam.
Last week, we announce that Mr.
Musgrove would be a candidate. He
was the only person of which (at that
time) we had any definite information,
On Thursday last, Mr. Jas. Bowman
was in town and announced himself as
in the field. He is a welaraformed
man, of coosiderable ability, a good
platform speaker, of excellent moral
character, and will no doubt have cote
eiderable support in the Convention:
If elected, he would make a good rep-
resentative.
The name of Mr. Dudley Holmes
has also been mentioned, and what
has been said regarding the suitability
of other aspirants will also apply to
Mr. Holmes. In orie respect, the
three mentioned, stand on equal foot-
ing. Each has run the gauntlet of a
campaign, and was not successful. If
this constitutes a claine (told to a cer-
tain extent it does) their claims are
equal in this respect. Had it not been
for a side issue, Mr. Holmes would
have been member for West Huron
for the term ram closing, arid some of
those whose votes defeated hint, have
perhaps since regretted it.
Another name likely to he submit-
ted to the Convention is that of Mr.
McQuillan of West Wasvanosh, with
whom we have very slight acquaira
ranee, Those who know hitn, how-
ever, speak highly of him, and there
is no doubt he stands high in the esti-
'nation of the conmsunity, for he was
County Commissioner for this district
for two years, and exercises quite an
influence in the Western part of the
riding.
The name of Mr, M. Lockhart has
also beets motioned, but whether he
will allow bis retro to go before the
Convention, We have not lame.
With so many good teen to Selett
from, North Huron Conservatives
should have no diffictilty choosing an
exeellent candidate for the coining
election.
There May be rivalry for the notni-
nation, but the men that receives the
cell of ehe delegated convention will
no doubt receive the nutted support of
the Conseteatives of Notth Huron.

Death Of Mrs. Ball.
Less than five months have passed
since the death of Mr. H. Bali, and on
Friday last, Mrs. Ball passed to eter-
nal rest. She had not been in good
health for some time, but nevertheless
bore bravely and with Christian resige
nation the bereavement caused by the
death ef her husband. But for the
last few weeks prior to her death, it
was evident that the end was
approaching, and on Friday afternoon,.
her spirit took its flight. Deceased
was born in the township of Picker-
ing, April 28t1:, 1836. She spent the
greater part of her life in Uxbridge
and Reach townships. In 1876, Mr.
and. Mrs. Ball and family removed
to Grey township, where they' resided
until Mr. Ball retired from farm life
and came to reside in Wingham,
about eight years ago. Mrs, Ball was
a faithful member of the Methodist
Church, and for twenty -'three yews
was active in church work in the
Bruseels Methodist Church. On cons-
ing to Winghain, she manifested the
same interest in the prosperity of the
Church, and when health permitted
was seldom absent from the public or
social means of grace. Her consistent
christian character will be remember-
ed by all her associates. As ft wife,
she was true and companionable; as a
mother, ever faithful to the best and
highest interests of her children, who'
are comforted with the clear testi-
many she has left. The funeral took
place on Monday, Rev. R. Hobbs con-
ducting the service (in the absence of
her pastor.) The floral tributes were
handsome, among thens three sheaves
were very noticeable, one from the
children, inscribed "Mother," another
from the W. M. F. Society, with
flowers in the form of O. sickle, and a
third from the Epworth . League.
Mrs. Ball leaves four sons and tour
daughters, who have sincere sym-
path), in the loss of both parents with-

hon, Messrs. Mooney and McCracken

awake from her sleep in the tomb,
and come forth to immortal yonth arid
bloom, to live where no sickness or
sorroty shall ever come. She was
