Later, Mr. Lowe resigned, and Mr, Armstrong was elected by acclamation, * 4* —Dr, W. P. Coon of Haledon, N. J., went to Paterson, N. S., the other day and spent a night in jail to gather im- pressions for a sermon on prison life. Queer "coon" isn't be ? * * —As an evidence of the progress of medical science, it is reported that a surgeon has succeeded in removing a needle two and a half inches long which an X-ray examination showed transfixed in the heart of a ten year- old girl. The heart was stitched up and the girl is recovering, * 4* —Amid the excitement of the Presi- dential election, the fact seem to have been overlooked, that in five States at least, there was a proposal to make Woman Suffrage the law of that State. In Kansas, Arizona, Michigan and Oregon, it was carried, but de- feated in Wisconsin. To succeed in four States, out of five ought to be en- couraging to advocates of the mea- sure. * * * —With thirty-nine applications for divorce to come before Parliament, it looks as if Canada was following far too nearly the example set by the Republic to the south of us. Fourteen of the 39 applications come from To- ronto. Possibly if two cannot agree, in some cases at least, they are better apart. The trouble often is too much haste, and not enough care in choos- ing life partners. * ** —Canada's finances are buoyant. For October the consolidated revenue aggregated $14,758,9A0, an increase of two million dollars over October 1911. The indications are that the year's income will eclipse all past records. The debt decreased duiing October over four million dollars. We look in vain for the calamity that was to befall the country if a Conservative Government replaced the Laurier ad- ministration. * * —The Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. has signed a contract with the Canadian Government for the opera- tion and maintenance of nine ad- ditional stations on the great lakes of Canada. When the stations are completed the company will receive an additional subsidy from the Gov- ernment of $31,500 per annum. The \agreement is for nineteen years. Wireless telegraphy bas proved a boon and a life-saver on ocean and lake. * * —So far, the Balkan war may be set down as the swiftest military s.uc- cess of the age. Though the war has only been in progress a few weeks, the allies are almost at thegates of Constantinople, and appear prepared to drive the wretched Turk out of Europe. Apparently the other nations are desirous of avoiding a general European war, but complications may arise, that will cause that long -dread- ed and awful calamity. The general activity in military circles throughout Europe is indicative of the unrest and danger. —With Supply, the the and * diminishing of the wood g cost of coal, of heating houses and of becomes more a problem. Some are looking to electri- eity as a flotation of the difficulty. tienpe the development of Canada's waterpowers becomes a matter of great importance. Electrical energy alone, it in claimed, utilizes 750,000 horse -power. From the comparative- ly small portion of Canada where estimates have been made, twenty million horse -power is claimed to be obtainable, and this does not touch the large water -powers in the north- ern parts of the provinces. The Georgian thy proposed waterway will, it is claimed, develop a million horse -power, The HydroAtectric 15 E!.n evidenee of what ratty be done with waterpowere, when harnessed to work for the peat:het t ---Ma(113 has been said about the proposed Georgian Bay Canal. Among the advantages claimed for it are the following :—It will bring Nova Scotia coal to Ontario; cut the cost of freight from the bead of the lakes to the sea in two ; furnish a million horsepower of energy for in- dustries; solve the transportation problems of Canada; open up for settlement twenty-five million acres of fertile land in the clay belt of new qntaria.

Oz Friday evening last, that excel- lent institution, Wingliata General Hospital, gave another evidence of ite usefulness, not only as a place where the sick are cared for, but as a Train- ing School for Nurses. Notwithstand- ing the pouring rain, there was a large and interested audience. ,Mr. H. Musgrove, M. L, A., presided, and on the platform were the resident ministers, physicians, the Hospital Board, and staff. After an appropriate prayer by Rev. Dr. Rutledge, a solo was rendered by Mr, R. G. Willis. This was followed by a practical address by Rev. D. Perrie, who pointed out to the gradu- ating class, the necessity in their pro- fession for Sympathy, Cheerfulness, Reverence, and accommodation to circumstances. Mies Miriam Wood then delivered a well-prepared Valedictory, which was listened to with much interest and at- tention. Then followed an address by Dr. Kennedy. As might be expected, this was pointed, practical and appro- priate, coming from a physician of ex-, tensive practice, and one so closely identified with the Hospital from the earliest inception of the scheme. "Larboard Watch" was then sung by Messrs. Hill and Wilford. Rev. G. Victor Collins then in an impreesive manner administered the "Nightingale Pledge" to the young ladies of the graduating class, Miss Myrtle Imlay, Miss Eunice Peddle and Miss Miriam Wood. Mr. R. Clegg, President of the Hospital Board, pre- sented them with their diplomas, and Dr. Redmond with very suitable re- marks, decorated each of the young ladies with a Medal, the badge of their profession. Rev. E. H. Croly was next speaker ; his remarks were brief but ap- propriate. liVinghatn's veteran physician was) then called on for an address. He responded with a song, and received a rousing encore. Wingham and the surrounding country has kindly recol- lections of the faithful services render- ed by Dr. Tamlyn iu the early days. when travel was difficult, and the settlers, many of them in poor circum- stances, Dr, Tamlyn was always found responsive to the call of duty, and is yet active and. his valuable services in demand. In well-chosen words, Rev, Father Blair felicited the young lady gradu- ates, tendering very appropriate and practical advice. Mr. A. 0. Chapman then rendered a solo in good style, was recalled and responded. Mr, Musgrove then gaate the Chair- man's address, referring to the Hospi- tale of the province, and pointing out what Wingham Hospital had ac- complished, its financial condition, and the necessities it now faced, if the good work was to be continued with success. He commended the manage. ment, the efficient Superintender Miss Mathews, and the excelle at method of accounting. The valu .ble assistance rendered the Hospi. il by the Women'e Auxiliary wag also gratefully acknowledged, Dr. Tamlyn's response to the encore was then given. He sang "Rule Brit- tania" with vigor, the audience hearti- ly joining in the chorus. The interesting exercises closed, with the National anthem. ARE YOU ONE ?

If the attendance at the Bible So- ciety meeting on Sunday evening, was an evidence of the reverence felt in this community for the Bible, and in- tereot in the work of the Society, then Wingham is a Bible -revering com- munity and the income of Wingham branch of the society will thie year break the record. The meeting was held in the Pres- byterian church, and services in the other churches having been with- drawn, the church was well-filled be- fore the hour, Still the people came, until every available seat was occu- pied, and some could not be accom- modated, Mr. John Kerr, president of Wing - ham branch, presided, and after a hymn had been sung, Rev. Dr, Rut- ledge Ied in prayer ; then the Scrip- ture lesson was read by Rev. G. V, Collins, Rev, D. Perri° was the first speaker and gave an excellent address on "Why I love and study the Bible." After another hymn, Capt. Pugmire, gave a suitable address, The report of the Executive was read by the Secretary, Mr. Ritchie, in- cluding the names of the officers re- commended, viz.: — President, Dr, Irwin ; Vice -President, Dr. Redmond ; Secretary, J. Ritchie; Treas., A. Cosens, Representatives—Methodists, J, Kerr, F. Buchanan ; Presbyterian, W. A. Campbell, H. Percy ; Baptist, P, Fisher, A. Kelly ; Anglican, A. Alderson, C. G. VanStone ; Sal. Army, R. Mooney, G. Walton. This report was adopted, and the newly -elected President took the chair, acknowledging the valued ser- vices rendered the Society by Mr. Kerr, the retiring President, to whose energy and enthusiasm, the success of the work here is due. The union choir rendered suitable music and Mr. . C. Chapman of Toronto an appre- ciated solo. The offering in 1911 was $32 02 ; on Sunday evening, it was $30,02, Last year the collectors secured $20731; the balance after deduction of ex- penses, was $192.00 which was remit- ted to the Society's Treasurer. It is hoped that this year the contributions will exceed those of last year. .11! Provincial Winter Pale.

The annual confirmation service was held in St. Paul's Church on Sunday, Nov. 10th. There were ten candidates and the service which was very im- pressive, was attended by a large congregation. The sermon was preach- ed by the very Rev. Dr. Williams, Bishop of 'Huron, from Heb. 2 : 1— "Therr fore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip," or in the Revised V talon, "lest we Should drift away Loin them." There is a difference, he said, be- tween lettiug a thing slip and drifting away. The shock, which follows on letting a thing slip, makes one con- scious of the loss. But we can only discover that we are drifting by hay- ing our eyes centred on something fixecl and constant either in the heavens or on the earth. It is agaiust drifting that the Apostle warns the Christians. The 'Christians would doubtless be firm in times of persecu- tion, but, like all men, they are in- fluenced by their surroundings. So the Christians in Palestine would be influenced by the Roman politics, the religion of the Pharisees and the philosophy of the, Greeks, Let them pay heed to what they had heard and to their fidelity to Christ. There are two remedies against drifting. We must pay heed to the Bible and to Jesus Christ our Lord, the Word, and the Lord ascended into heaven. There are three kinds of currents or tendencies to be warned against, 1— Beware of the drift of the age. Each age has some particular drift away from Christ. The gross immorality Of the Restoration w, as followed by a philoso,phieal tendency called Deism and this in teen by Agnosticism which has resulted in our day in a conceti- tratien on material well-being, 2 Beware of the tendency of the place where yoti do well, Bring every ten- dency of the place into comparison with the teaching of the Bible. 8-. Beware of the tendency of your own heart, We all begin with a prominent weakness. We should take tip our lives periodically and bring there into examination in the light of the Scrip. tore. The hymns and the anthem by the choir were well chosen for the , - occasion, Ity it PO 40! The geotorth Etspoiltor reports this —Mr. B. fl. Scott of Seafortle.

Over A Will. A case of local interest was heard in Goderich on Monday concerning the Will of the late Mies A, J.

Wilson Geddes, proved a great succese, At the meeting of the Society, the student body, by a popular vote, showed themselves heartily in favour of the plan for a concert to be given by the W. H. S.. The public are again reminded that, as in former years, they are cordially invited to be present at the meetings of the Liter- ary Society held fortnightly in the Assembly Hall. Your Will. Have a will of your own, but be sure your will is right. No one has much use for the wavering, faint-hearted, undecided individual who cannot make up his mind to a thing and then put it through. To count in the right way, however, the way best for him- self and everybody else concerned— a boy's will must be trained to un- selfishness, to consideration, to kind- ness, to aiming at the noblest things of life, and to rest satisfied with nothing less. Married In Toronto. A quiet marriage took place in Toronto, Nov, Oth, the bride being Miss Elsie M. Clark, daughter of Mrs. William Clark of Waskada, Man„ formerly of Wingham, and the groom, Mr. William R. Isbisrer, second son of Mr, and Mrs. William Isbister of Wingham.

Smith son of Mr. and. Mrs. John Smith of Turnberry. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. Perrie. To the strains of Lohegrin wedding march rendered by Miss Mae Davidson of Wroxeter, the bride en- tered the parlor leaning on the arm of her brother, Alexander Davidson, wearing a charming gown of white paillette silk with pearl and silver trimmings and carrying a bouquet of roses. After the csretnony was per- formed, a supper was served. Only the iramediate relatives were present. Later in the evening, the young cou- ple left for their.home in Turnberry. Mr. Geo. Wade bcceased. On Wednesday, Oth inst, there pass- ed away at his home in this town, one of the pioneers of Turnberry town- ship, Mr. Geo. Wade, in his 74th year.

Winter Predictions, A commercial traveller at Hensall recently offered to bet $25 that during the eoming winter there would not be a week of continuous sleighing. He hued his estimate on the condition of the fur -bearing animale and the scar. city of nuts.

Caskey, secretary of the Layman's Missionary movement, re- ports as follows :--"The record of Ca- nadian offerings for mission work for 1911-12 showed a total of $2,499,815. The Methodists lead, with $870,408 to their credit ; Presbyterians, $808,637 ; Anglicans, $353,762 ; Baptists, $292,- 842; Congregationalists, $52,001, and other denominations lesser amounts, This is an increase of 06g per cent. its the five years, and is considered very creditable. And yet, while for every person in Canada an average of thirty- one cents was spent in home, foreign and city mission work in 1911, while in the same year an average of $11,30 was paid by the people of Canada for liquor."
