Irwin...a graduate of Vicearia College, Toronto, gave the League a most interesting and learned talk Along the line of practical- church work. Mr. Ilowin, during his college career, wan actively engaged in this work in Toronto and thus spoke from experience. He told of a church in the down town district which he laid. "was used on Sunday; and for two bailee during the'week." Senile workers wild have rphemes in, mind asked and obtained permission to use the building. There were a number in the vicinity who 'were not at all attencted 'by the preaching services and others who needed other kinds of help than the preaching service 'gave, so classes were foraned, for boys, for :girls, foes children, reading rooms for men; shower baths, and many other things. The talk was listened to with • exceptional en:forest by the members or the' executive, who after the meeting had a heart to-lieart talk with Mr: Irwin .about the working •out of some of -*he schemes and who shall say. • whether or bot something of, the sort may be tried' in connection with ellelesley. League, • Miss ' Cuningbame occupied the chair and the boys', chair gave a couple of selections which were appreciated as usual. • Rev. R. F. Irwin- of Harrow, preach- ed morning and evening on Sunday last. In. the evening he was assisted in the service, by'Mr. W. H. Irwin, a nephew, and also, . by Rev. Mu neewcondee. Mr. Irwin, preached serong and impressive rennons on each occa- sion. • He also briefly addressee the Sunday school in the afternoon. • A TIE GAME': e The footecell match on Saturday afternoon last between the Wingham S. and the. Clinton'C. I. teams resulted en a score• of 0e-0, which Shows somewhat the calibre of the. their The:Winghani bc,ys came down in their red unifornis and had only 'to be driven to- the grounds, and at a marten to fiVO Referee George Turn- er of Brucefield blew the •whistle. The vieleors ,have a heavy teattn, and with 'two, old timers in the line, the eleven eeds proved, a formidable bunch, as they amply showed iihrolugh- out the game. For the \ first ten minutes it was all red. The boys in blue were at sea, and only the work of Reid prevented a couple Of tallies being Made. Ainslie, the.crack out- side right of the reds, nearly poked in a couple of hot ones, and the centre half back, nearly broke the goal . post. The backs .had plenty to do, but that was 'Cally what they anted, .and- after the half -backs and forwards got the kinks out of their legs, things changed, and the wet- ators saw some football. It certainly was strenuous. Despite the close cheaking, few penalties were handed out, and Stranger still, •tniere were few accidents. First half—no score. Time after time the Wireghain forwards -tided to plant the ball between the sticks, but their shots either went wide or were hand- led by -Reed. Gradually things chang- ed, and during the last of the first half the ball was in centre territory. In the seemed half things were all blue. The blue high -brows had .the Wingham Latin wrestleee peening around like a bunch of wild steers, and why eleven -forty goals weren't scored nobody knovls, The red centre half back started to .play dew tactics and tried -to show how they played ball 'whet.' he was a boy, but a few gentle reminders recalled him, to the present generation and he then played sane ball. ' The C. C. has a. speedy forward line and if they had bad practice, they could have scored time and time again. Copp, Ranee and Musbard eveee all head and feet and showed that they knew the difference between foot- ball and hay -making. The' game see- sawed back and forth, and at full time neither side had adored, After SOW distussion, both aides agreed tri play five minutes each way; still no 'score was made, and as the 'VI/Ingham boys had to hustle for the train, the game was called oft, 4 BEAT CHICAGO MARKET.

No need for spoiled vegetables, roots or old shoes, etc., laying about with one of these eoneeveneee.
