The sixth annual convention of Huron Couuty Women's Christina Temperruce Union was held in the village of Zurich on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 25.2G. The meeting opened ou Tuesday after. noon with a. eouseoratioti service, con- ducted by Mrs. G. Acheson, provincial secretary, of Goderich, and Mrs. (Rev.) Greece, Clinton. At 2,20 the convention was called to order by the president, Mrs. E. P. Paulin, of Dashwood. The roll of officers and supertutendeuts be- ing called, the corresponding secretary and treasurer presented their reports, the latter showiug a balance of $1.5.88 after meeting all demands of the year. Next came the president's address, which was brimful of eucourageuient regarding the past, and full of hope for the future. The election of officers was then proceeded with, resulting as fol- lows:—President, Mrs. E. P. Paulin, re- elected by au overwhelmiug majority; vice president, Mrs. G. Achesou, Gode;r• ieh; recordiug secretary, Mrs. H.Hooper, Exeter; corresponding secretary, Miss B. M. Steinbach, Zurich; treasurer, Mrs. J. G. Seale, Clinton. The public nieeting on Tuesday even- ing was one et very great interest; the pastor of the church, Rev. W. J.Yeagor, occupied the chair and expressed his great pleasure in meeting with the W. 0. T. U. workers, welcoming them cor- dially to the village and ohurch. One of the trustees read a very suitable and touching address of welcome whish was responded to in a most comprehen- sive address by Mrs. Hooper, of Exeter. Then came a solo, entitled "Won't you sign our pledge," by Master Percy Pau- lin, after which the address of the even- ing was given by Rev. R. Hobbs, of Strathroy. Rev. Mr. Henderson, of Heusall, was advertised for the occasion, but at a late hour toned that it was im- possible for him to be present. Mr. Hobbs on very short notice came to the rescue and delivered one of his telling lectures. He gave the testimony of the jail inspector for Ontario to the effect that of all the male prisoners,nine-tenths, and of the females nineteen -twentieths, were there through drink. He also gave statistics to show that 4,000 go down to death annually in Canada alone, and in the United States 70,000 through drunk- enness. He closed his address with a stirring temperance solo, entitled, "Let Canada be free," after which Mrs.Baid- win, of Seaforth, sang a solo. At nine o'clock on Wednesday morning the convention opened with devotional exercises, conducted by Mrs.J.P.BrOwu, of Goderich. The principal part of the forenoon was taken up with reports by the county superiuteudeuts of the work done iu the different departments. These reports elicited considerable discussion and brought out many features of im- portant work being carried on. Encour- aging reference was made to the W. C. T. U. missionaries, Mr. Leckie and Miss Sproale, who are laboring among the lumbermen and scattered settlors in Algoma and Muskoka. These haye not been forgotten, comfort bags and liter- ature to a considerable extent having been set through the year,and douatious 'of money towards the payment of salar- ies. The juvenile departmeut is being vigorously pushed, and many Sunday School scholars are reported as having signed the pledge. The pulpit of the Methodist Church was acceptably filled on Sunday last by Rev. C. P. Wells, B. A., B. D., of Ethel, who preached both morning and evening. Rev. Mr, Wells is one of the younger ministers who has a promising future be- fore him in his chosen calling. Rev. Dr. Gundy was preaching anniversary mo s on the Ethel circuit. t 1„a ERSONALS. atice of changes must be left at t p office not later than Saturday noon. ti The copy for changes must be left n ` not later than Monday evening. o.

Mrs. Aches- on presented the report of the committee on recommendations and resolutions, as follows: That the year's work be open- ed with earnest prayer iu all the Unions for deeper spirituality among the mem- bers, and that greater efforts be made to increase the membership. 2, That officers in the different departments pay particular attention to all correspon- dence from county officers, and endeavor to reply promptly to all communications. 3, That we heartily express our grati- tude to the proprietors of newspapers who have kindly placed a column at our disposal. and request that all press sup- erintendents avail themselves of the privilege thus offered. 4, That to view with anxiety the growing tendency throughout the land towards the desecra- tiou of too Sabbath, and to depreciate the more public violation of the law re- specting the day, we are especially pain- ed to know that so many connected with the churches are implicated. The habit of driving to, and spending hours of the Sabbath at different points on the lake and elsewhere, involving in many cases hiring of rigs, etc, thus neglecting the services of God's house, we deeply de- plore. We desire also to express our sincere sympathy with the Lord's Day Alliance in their blessed work, and call upon our sisters everywhere to unite with us in prayer that God may prosper more and more. These recommenda- tions were enthusiastically endorsed by the convention. •t A peculiarity of this business is its absolute regard for the truth n advertising.
