-As most of our readers know, war
ie ragiug in southern Europe, between
Montenegro, Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece on one side and Turkey, The
countries first mentioned are known
as the Balkan States, and appear to
have caught Turkey in an unprepared
state, As a result, the Turkish troops
have been driven back with terrible
slaughter, and the Turkish govern-
ment is asking for the intervension of
the great power of Europe. Turkey
has been despotic and cruel, and the
day of reckoning has come, She
richly deserved punishment and
humiliation. What the great Eu-
ropean powers' apparently feared to
do, the plucky little Balkan States
undertook and appear likely to ac-
complish, The danger now however
is, that out of this may grow a fierce,
and Iong-dreaded European war in-
volving all the great powers. The
crisis is apparently approaching.

The Sixteenth Annual Epworth
League Convention Of Wing-
bam District.
The Epworth League convention
held at Gerrie on Tuesday, Oct, 22nd,
was the most successful in its history,
and opened Tuesday morning with
devotional exercises led. by Mr, J. A.
Bassett of Whitechurch. Rev. G. W.
W. Rivers of Ripley, president of the
district executive then took charge
and gave the opening address. He
commended the action of the Execu-
eutive in sending speakers to the
various Leagues a.nd laid special em-
phasis upon systematic givings to
Missions by our Leagues, and the op-
portunities for work given to the Citi-
zenship department.
In the absence of Rev. B. H. Robin-
son of Bervie, Mr. R. May read Mr.
Robinson's thoughtful address on the
subject "The Consecration Meeting, Is
it declining ? If so why ? Causes given
for decline were lack of definiteness.
The subject, "What are the duties
of the Prayer Meeting Committee"
was well taken by Mr. S. R. John-
ston of Pine River, He emphasized
it as an evangelistic agency and the
importance of prayer to prepare
Leaguers for their work. The Prayer
Meeting Committee should be respon-
sible for the devotional exercises of
each meeting and should get the
members to lead in public prayer. He
made the statement that there is no
conscientious reason why any chris-
tian young person, wno prays at home
cannot pray in public.
A helpful discussion was led by Rev,
W. J. Ford of Teeswater. Mr, Ford
found the consecration meeting the
worst attended of any, and many
members who came, did so unprepar-
ed for the testimony services. He
felt that there is less prayer in our
Leagues than formerly. Some
thoughts brought out were -Have a
reception service when taking in new
members, Have prayerful christian
person to lead the devotional exer-
cises. The young people are willing
to be Ted, and the pastor must share
this responsibility.
"The Pocket Testament League"
was spoken upon by Mr. Russell Love,
of Ethel. Mr. Love gave in a clear
way a brief history of the origin and
growth of the movement. The league
has had great success in Australia,
Japan, China and perhaps especially
Corea, One very excellent thing with
the movement is that it does not in-
terfere with any other christian work,
but helps the leaguer to be familiar
with words of Christ and gives him or
her a special opportunity to do per-
sonal work among the unconvertee
Rev. J. E. Cook of Bluevale led the
discussion which followed. He told
how he bad been helped by rest ;ing
the Testament given him by his
mother when a boy and show . d how
essential it is to have a thorough
knowledge of the Bible to meet temp-
tation and to keep up the Christian's
spiritual life.
Report's of the year's work were
then given by delegates from the
various Leagues, One or two Leagues
had a revision of their membership
lists.
Prayer meetings held in the homes
of the members were useful in one
league in leading out young people in
public prayer. Several mission study
classes have been organized.

At 1,30 p.m. the convention met for
half an hour's social intercourse in the
basement, after which the regular
meeting was opened, Rev. J. W. Hib-
bert, Hon, Pres. of the executive pre.
siding,
Mr, C. Wilkinson of Olivet League
spoke helpfully on the Citizenship
Department. He dealt with the
branches of the woek, covered by this
department, separately and in closing
recotttmended variety in the pro-
grani such as Mock Trials, Mock Par-
liaments, and to use originality. Mr.
W. Heid of Belgrave led in the dis-
enesion and bropght of t the greatness
of the work to be done by this com-
mittee a.nd dealt particularly with the
Sabbath Obsexyanco and patriotism.
Variety and originality were sug-
gested. The department being new
has to be worked tip.

An excellent papery was read by Mies

WING-1AM, ONT., TIIUJRSOAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1912.
Thurso Gerry on the junior League
work. The Junior work is growing,
First Convention of Junior Leaguee of
Ontario held in Chatham last July, A
suitable superintendent must be cons
secreted, patient and optimistic, one
who will use simple language. No
Superintendent can succeed without
support from Senior League. Rev,
D. Wren of Ethel led the discussion,
He believed it to be the work of the
Church, namely, working with the
Juniors.
Taking China as his theme, Rev. W.
E, Sibley, of West China, gave an
most educative address on that won-
derful country which is now so much
in the limelight of the world. He
spoke of the mighty movement along
educational, commercial, and indus-
trial lines. She is one of the most
independent and self sustained nations
of the world. In one province it is
estimated that there is coal enough to
supply the world for one thousand
years. Gold, silver, copper, tin, lead,
salt and petroleum are also found. At
this time changing China presents to
the Christian World tremendous
privileges, and tremendous responsi-
bilities.
Afrer the session was dismissed, the
delegates went again to the basement,
where Miss Wellwood showed her
curiosities of that country.
EVENING SESSION.
The session opened at 7.30, The
officers elect were introduced :-Hon.
Pres., Rev, J. W. Hibbert ; Pres., A.
J. Langford ; lst Vice, Rev. W. J.
Ford ; 2nd Vice, Mr. M. Slemmon ;
3rd Vice, Mr. F. Linn ; 4th Vice, Mr.
W. Reid ; 5th Vice, Mr. J. Ferguson ;
Repres. to Conference, Rev, I. Kil-
patrick ; Sec.-Treas., Mr. John Kerr,
Wingham.
Several resolutions were passed
among others were :-
1st -That the Convention was de-
lighted with the presence of two Mis-
sionaries.
2nd -That we raise enough to sup-
port two Missionaries, which would
just require an increase of one tenth,
in our Missionary givings.
Miss Wellwood of West China was
then introduced. She spoke on the
womanhood of China. Customs in
China have made women suffer. Foot -
binding is rapidly dying out. Life of
the Chinese women is labor from the
cradle to the grave. She is kept un-
educated, and has after her marriage
(which is usually quite young) two to
serve, first her mother-in-law, and
second her husband. She is her hus-
band's purchased property, and can be
sold when ever he wishes. Buying
and selling of girls for slaves is com-
mon among the upper classes. Mil-
lions of Chinese, women can say as
one did "I cannot read a word, and
nobody ever told me (of Jesus) so how
could I know." At the close of her
addreso, Miss Wellwood sang in
Chinese.
The closing address was given by
Rer. W. E. Sibley and the phase of
('Lina taken up was the religious life
e the Chinese. There are two main
:lasses of religious life among them.
First, Ancestral Worship, and 2nd,
Denton Worship. They believe that
all have three souls, one stays with
the body, one enters the Ancestral
Tablet, and one goes to the spirit
world. They do not dintinguish be-
tween spiritual and material, and so
provide food for the hungry spirits.
Six thousand pilgrims have : been
counted in one day travelling to Mt.
Omei, a heathen shrine. One man set
out to travel on his hands and knees
1200 miles. They do this from a
Bence of their guilt, and in a desire to
find peace, hoping by these arduous
duties to lay up for themselves merit
in the day of reckoning. The Chinese
when converted make good earnest
Christians.
A vote of thanks was given to Gorrie
Epworth League for their kind hospi-
tality to the delegates, and this most
helpful and inspiring convention was
brought to a close.
Be Careful Boys.
Boys should be careful even in their
play. The Mildmay Gazette reports
that a boy, Harry Schmidt, received a
hard blow. A number of boys were
throwing stones at a pumpkin when
when by a misdirected throw Harry
was bit On the head by a swiftly
thrown stone, The boy was knocked
insensible, and continued in that con-
dition until the arrival of the doctor,
and several stitehes were necessary to
close the wognd. No fun in such play

The members of the A,Y.P.A. of St.

Orchard Care Pays. ,.
The St. Thomas Times editorially
says :-"The apple orchards of many
farmers in this section will yield their
owners all the way from $500 to
$1,200 this season. All growers are
taking greater care of their orchards
in the matter of systematically spray-
ing and pruning, and are realizing
that it is a profitable. investment."
This is additional testimony of the
benefit of scientific cultivation and
care of the orchard,

Town at the county Connell.

Be Courteous Boys.
Boys, be courteous and gentleman-
ly ; it pays a hundredfold. Some one
has said that "with a hat in` hand,"
one gets on in the world. Emerson
said --"Give a boy a pleasing manner,
and accomplishment and you give
him the mastery of place and fortunes
wherever he goes." When Charles
Dickens entered the room, his pleasing
address warmed everyone to him like
the kindling of a big fire. A fine
courtesy is a fortune in itself -all
doors fly open to him' who has it. A
boy of good manners is as welcome as
a spring day, or as the sunshine. Cul-
tivate a kindly and courteous dis-
position, boys. It is not a heavy
burden to carry, and will brighten
your pathway in life, and be a bless-
ing to those with whom you come in
contact.
