A memorial service for ministers who have died daring the year was held from 4.30 to 5.30.

McNair of Dungannon tat he be allowed to take the field as la evangelist. The question was warm- s' discussed. Many spoke in favor of dangelists and a number were against stem. The question was finally settled ce a motion being carried that Mr. Me - oak's request be granted, provided the a:ationing Committee set him aside for 5 ecial work. 1sThe report from the trustees of Stan - 8 J1cscIHair tl • a I have used your Hair Vigor efor five years and am greatly please) with it.

Rev. C. P. Wells, 13, D., delivered the annual lecture before the Theological Union. The subject, "In- spiration," was presented in a way that was uninao and iuterestiug. At 4,30 p.m. a meeting of the Metho- dist Historical Society was held. SrNDAY SERVICES. Sunday last was a day long to be re- meinbered by Wiughamites. There was ay r large crowd in town, many people coming from a long distance to attend the Conference services. Many members of Conference expressed regret that a special train had been run over from Teeswater. Many people failed to find entrance to the morning service, which began at 9.30 with a fellowship service. At 11 o'clock the public service opened, and was followed by ordination service. Tho ordination discourse was preached by Rev. James Henderson, D. D. of Toronto, who ranks first among Methodist ministers as an eloquent preacher. His effort at this time was accompauied by much power. Tho text chosen was Acts, ii., 4: "Anel they were filled with the Holy Ghost." At the close of the public service, George W. Rivers, B. A., and John E. Osterhout, B. A., B. D., were ordained to the full work of the ministry, the president of the conference conducting the service. A mass meeting was held in the town hall in the afternoon conducted by Evangelist Kerr. The. meeting was much disturbed by a violent thunder- storm. Lightning struck the hall, which was filled to overflowing. Whilst the building was slightly „injured, no ono within was hurt, though all were more or less frightened. Rev. Dr. Young, of St. Thomas, preached at the evening service from the words "Looking Unto Jesus." The sermon was thoughtful and appropriate. The communion service that followed was attended by many hundreds. The pulpits in the Presbyterian and Baptist church were occupied by the gentlemen as announced in our last issue. MONDAY The Conference opened on Monday with pentecostal service conducted by Rev. J. McD, Kerr. Tho session was taken up chiefly with reports of com- mittees. A cordial vote of thanks to the Mayor and Town Council was passed. The pastor of the church. and Wingham Methodists were congratulated on the splendid edifice in which the conference was held. The hospitality of tho citi- zens and excellent services of the choir were also remembered with apprecia- tive words The Temperance Committee reported in part as follows : - "Reallzing the importance and value to our youths of being pledged to total abstinence from all intoxicants, we urge that systematic efforts be vigorously pushed in all our schools to secure the signatures of all the scholars, and that a record be kept in our schools." "Recognizing the necessity of a thor- ough organization of the temperance electorate pledged to support only such candidates for parliamentary and muni- cipal honors as will give a thoroughly independent support to prohibition, we would urge our people to co•operate with the Temperance Legislative League in their efforts to secure such organization, giving special attention to the organiz- ing of municipalities and polling subdi- visions." The Sunday School Committee's re- port showed that 1,465 scholars in the various schools in the Conference had made open prefeesion of faith,and 11,000 have pledged themselves to total ab- stinence fr liquor. e © bm quos. Thfs is an increase of -ever two thousand over last year. There was a decrease in membership of the Sanday schools of 1,435. The Bi -centenary Committee brought in a report,in whieli it reeoinnmled that special services he held in all the church- es on June 28th, the service to bo con- ctuetted by the piston or some other minisrcr•, Missionary Secretary Rev. Dr. Henderson spoke on the report, dwelling on the great need for money and mein for Methodist missions. He said there would be no difficulty in get- ting rid of the special fund,. In the evening an enthusiastic I'lis- sioaary meeting was held, addressed by W, J. Ferguson, of Stratford; Mrs. Gordou Wright, of London; Rev, Dr, Henderson, of Toronto.

NOTES AND COMMENTS The finding of the Royal Commissiou which was appointed to investigate the charges of bribery and corruption made by R. R. Gamey, M. P. P., for Mauitou- hn, against Hon. James R. Stratton, Provincial Secretary, was made known Friday, when it was laid on the table of the House. The conclusions of Sir John Boyd and Chief Justice Falconbridge, the commissioners, is that Gamey is a liar; that he was for sale, and tried to set a trap for Stratton, but that the trap failed to work. x.vo Stock :Markets. 'Toronto, Juno 9 -It was a waiting market to -day. Both sides buyers and sellers, were waiting to see which could hold out the longest. To -day's run was 116 cars with 1,882 head of cattle, 1,290 sheep and lambs, 602 hogs and 36 calves. Trade was slow though in the transactions which took place prices were, for butchers' cattle, about the same as last week. The balk of the cattle offering however, were for export, and the quality was decidedly off. On the whole prices to -day wore, for export cattle, 10c to 20e lower than on Thursday last, though the fact must be taken into account that the quality was not quite so good. Rather rough export cattle were sold at from $4.65 to $4.75, A little better cattle fetched $4.80. In the butchers' cattle class nice qual- ity, light butchers' cattle were fully as high as last week. As high as $4.80 was paid for good butchers' cattle of the right kind, not too heavy. Straight loads of good butchers' $4.55 to $4.70; fair to good. $4.35 to $4.55; butchers' cows $3.75 to $4. In the sheep marketexport x ewes p o are steady at $3.75 to $4; butcher sheep a little easier; bucks draggy at $3 to $3.25. Spring lambs,too many offering for sale, with a dull market, at $2.50 to $4 each; calves are firm at $4.50 to $5.05 per cwt., anti $2 to $10 each. The hog market is weaker and the best selected hogs to -day were fetching $5.30; lower grades, 9$5.G0 to $5.75.
