ICLILIOTT, PuBLISKira Ara/ PaoPRI mon THURSDAY. SEPT. 29, 1904. V. NOTES AND COM M ENTS. The election trial judges, Chancellor Boyd and Mr Justice Teetzel, on Thurs- day declared North York vacant by the ,unseating of Hon, E 3, DAVIS, Commis- inouer of Crown Lauds. 40••••00 to these ohauges, if there was a law against cauvasietugpreventing this soli- citation of voterd, it woald be beneficial. Let mien rise superior to this cauveseing for this one or that one, and feel their re- sponsibility of voting as they feel the re. sroueibility. of being jurore. They should cherish as a most highly appreci- ated privilege the casting of their vote in the ballot box What would we think of the juryman who took money to find for or against his fellow? The voter should rise as high. Let him. feel the responsibility of voting and cherish his privilege, not have it bartered away, waiting for people connug round to coax his vote. As men with the privilege of self-goverument, of making their own laws through their representatives, let them exercise their vote. Let them rise to the diguity of meu, of Canadians, end then we shall have a country worthy to live in." , Mr. Little, the Liberal member in North Norfolk was unseated on Tuesday by the election court, and Mr. Dunlop, Conservative member for North Ren- frew has resigned This leaves the Ross Goverumeut with a majority of one (the Speaker,and the North Grey petition yet to be disposed of. The bye•elections will likely be brought on iu the course Of a few weeks. For the year 1896, the last under the Conservatives, there was a loss in the workiug of the postoffice department amouuting to 5781,152, while for the year 1904 there was not only no loss, but a profit of over $304.000, and this after paying all the costs of operating the ex- pensive postal system in the Yukou,Atlin Athabasca and Great Slave Lake District which services were not in force in 1896. Moreover, this magnificent surplus is at- tained, notwithstanding the fact that the Postmaster General has made sub- stantial increases to the salaries of post- masters, postoffieo clerks, railway mail clerks, inspectors, letter carriers, and in feat, the whole clerical staff in the ser- vice. • Has there been any repudiation of Nelson and Itulloy on the part of the Opposition press? Have those who em- ploy -ed the Buffalo perjurers been de- nounced? Has Dr. Beattie .Nesbitt been '• asked for an explanation of his connec- tion with this miserable business? Has responsibility fur it been pressed home . to Mr. Whitney, by whose Workers and to whose interest the thing was done?The attitude of the Opposition newspa- pers, high and low, to this Wright-Nel- son-Mulloy scaudal discounts all their heated clamor about electoral corrup- tion. Plainly, their object is political, not moral, aud until they come to see that the standard of morality cannot be adjusted to partizau exigencies or per- sonal prejudices their agitation can be of no avail. -Toronto Globe.

'Whez . the work was left to a few the responsibility became very heavy ou them, but respousibility brought with it earnestness and strength. and no one bhould feel discouraged if re- sults failed to reach expectatious. Mre. Hooper, of Exeter, the recording secre- tary, respoudeci. She was glad to he able to attend the convention and felt en- couraged and inspired to go ou speaking and working, and would continue the work till the flag of probibitiou waved' from ocean to ocean. The reports of the corresponding sec- retary, Miss Steinbach, of Zurinh, and of the treasurer. Miss Seale, of Clinton, were considered satisfactory and were adopted. The county president's address follow- ed. She asked the workers to be patient with her as, owing to extra work iu her home, and to having to assist the corres- ponding secretary, she had found it liard to attend meetings. She would endeav- or to do what was possible in educational work during the coming year. This veer two new unions had been formed, one at Bayfield and the other at Hensall, through her iustrumentelity. She had written seventy letters and twenty-two post cards, and giveu information to all the unions. She trusted God would bless the Society the coming year, and hoped they would meet next year in larger nnmhers. After a hymn the su- perintendents of parlor meetings, work among sailors, the press and evangelistic departments reported. Wednesday's session was opened by a Bible reading by Mrs. Davidson, from Acts 11, which she ably explained. The hymn "Sweet Hour of Prayer," was sung aed a short session of prayer followed. The reports of the superinteu- dents of work among lumbermen, prison reforin aud police, anti -narcotics, juven- ile and temperance in Sunday schools. purity and mothers' meetings depart- ments were presented. The department of purity and mothers' meetings is to be made a prominent one iu the next year's work. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: President, Mrs, E. P. Paulin, Dashwood; vice-president, lgrs. Ache- son, Goderich: corresponding secretary, Miss Ella Rennie, Zurich; recording sec- retary, Mrs. Hooper, Exeter; treasurer, Mrs. Holland, Goderich. The plan of work for the coming year, drawn up by Mrs. Acheson, and resolu tions for the coming year, drawn up by Mrs. Brown, were adopted. Rev. Mr. Greene, of Clinton, an honorary member of the W.C.T.U., gave an address, tell- ing of the steps being taken to secure local option in Clinton. The afternoon session opened with a prayer and testimony meeting, after which the reports of committees and general business were taken up. Mre. McKee also gave a brief address. Christian Education." Rev. C. 3. Cameron, of McMaster University, Toronto, gave a very in • structive and praeticel address on " Chris - tiau Education," in the Baptist Chnroh, Wingham, ou Friday evening last. The speaker's remarks were gathered arouud a few questious WHAT Is TRUE EDUCATION? Obtaining information is not getting education. Knowledge is not necessar- ily power; for the mau who knows the right does not always have power to do the right. The development of the mental nature, while the moral nature is allowed to remain depraved, is not true education. Brilliant scholars have committed heinous oriules. True, edu- cation is the unfolding of all the powers of man's being - meutal, .moral aud physical, and their development to the highest degree of possibility. The part of education most generally neglected is the development of the moral nature. CAN THE MORAL NATURE BE TRULY DEVELOPED APART FROM THE TEACH- INO OF RELIGION? No, for without the appeal to religion the moral law would lack enforcing machinery and become a dead letter. IS RELIGION TAUGHT IN OUR PUBLIC) SCHOOLS? .•• w•••••••••0010 AS IT SHOULD BE. Chancellor Boyd at the Soo when de- claring the seat vacant, used some very forcible language, and with nearly all of it we heartily agree. While we would not like to see compulsory voting we would like to see the other suggestions carried out. There is no need of onside help in any of the ridings, and the sooner both political parties are rid of the "hang- ers-on," the better it will be for politics in general. In East Huron, there is a clean record for both parties and we hope it may continue that way. The local Workers are quite able to do all neces- eery work at en election. The Chancel- lor said :--I think if every man, in- stead of being in the position of being coaxecl or pressed to vote or being put in the market to got the highest price for his vote, was compelled to vote or be dis- frauchised for two or three years, it might perhaps work great good. I am Sure it would be of great good if a law was enaoted prohibiting all outside inter- ference with elections. Let municipali- ties be free from the intervention of out- sider's, whoever they may be. Let them der their own election work and have no money to agents from outside, and that would be of much benefit. Both m Muskoka and here there have been out - aide agents coming in -Coates and Ken- nedy here -who were shadows, figures who came and went, whose baneful in- fluence could not be traced and was fol- lowed by hurtful results. In addition •••••••••••••••••••••••••0 • • * • • • * • • 2 • No, for the so called religious exercises with which our schools are opened have little or no educative values. If the Bible is to have such value it mnst be studied with the attention and labor that Arithmetic and Grammar receive. OAN THE BIBLE THEN BECOME A TEXT BOOK IN OUR PUBLIC Souotems? As a Baptist, the speaker would say, never; for the study of the Bible in the Public School -which would mean the teaching of dogma -would violate the first principal for which that denotnina- tion stands: soul liberty, the right for man to worship God after the dictates of his own conscience without hindrance of state or individual. To compel the teaching of the principles of Christianity in our Public Schools when there is a large percentage of scholars who are the children of non-Christian or anti-Christ- ian parents, Agnostics, Jews, etc., would be a denial of religious liberty. WHERE THEN ALLY RELIGION BE TAUGHT AND BY WHOM? By the Christian parents in the home, by the pastor and Sunday School teachers in the church. In addition to these re- ligion may be taught by Christian Schools and Colleges which should be maintained by voluntary contributors -- never by taxation. WHAT HAS A CHRISTIAN CHURCH TO DO WITH A COLLEGE? The authority is the precept of our Lord as given in the Great Commission and also his example, for He went from place to place preaching and teaching and healing. Here is the three fold duty of every Ohristian church. As an example of the local church discharging these obli- gations iu a vast scale the Temple Bap- tist Church was cited. This church maintains a University that has an en- rolled attendance of 4630 students. The religious influences in McMaster University,Moalton and Woodstock Col- leges were then described and the needs and claims of these institutions set forth. The Ministerial Fund for the remuner- ation of students who do labor on Mis- sion fields during seven months of the academic year requires enlarged con- tributions from the churches. The in- stitutions above all require the earnest prayers of every church member. Let the colleges be bound to the throne of God's grace by the golden links of prayer. At the conclusion of the address, a vote of thanks, moved by Messrs. Coseus and Fisher, was tendered Mr. Cameron, for his very able exposition of the sub- ject. ers For coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma, weak throats, weak lungs, consumption, take Aycr's Cherry Pectoral.

The annual convention of Huron county W. C. T. U. was held in the Temperance Hall on Tuesday and Wed- nesday of this week. Several delegates were prevented from attending through sickness or other untoward circumstances but good interest was taken in the nieet- ing. The following delegates were in attendance: Mrs. Heyrock, Mrs. Merner, Miss E. Rennie and Miss Ethel Wil- liams, Zurich; Mrs, Paulin, Dashwilod; Mrs. Dunlop and Rev.

Toronto, Sept. 27 -The total run at the city cattle market to -day was 75 loads, with 1,196 head of cattle, 1,700 sheep and lambs, 400 hogs and 124 calves. The unusually heavy runs of last week perhaps accounts for the lighter ran to- day. Trade was not at all brisk; some of the dealers, in fact, saying that they had not seen a slower market for some time. The quality of cattle coming in is still very poor, choice hatcher cattle being scarce and hard to get. The ex- port trade shows very little life, only about one load of fair quality cattle be- ing in the market to -day. Fxport are quoted at $4.60 to $4.80; extra choice at $6 - The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle- Per'100 lbs. heavy $4 50 $4 60 Light 4 25 4 50 Bulls 3 50 4 00 do., light 2 25 2 75 Feeders light,800 pounds and up- wards 3 60 880 Stockers 2 75 3 80 900 lbs 2 75 3 50 Butchers' - Choice 400 4 30 Medium 8 50 3 75 Picked 4 25 4 30 Bung 1 75 2 50 Rough 200 2 60 Light stock bulls .. 2 25 2 75 Milk cows 60 00 50 00 Hogs - Best... ,, . ... 5 15 Lights 4 85 Sheep - Export 3 75 400 Bucks. 300 8 25 Culls, 250 350 Spring Lambs 400 440 Calves. eaohe 200 10 00 •••••••••••••••••••••••••• • * * • • 2 * • Truly a.......b.briaboo;.••••••bibbobbbfibs...obrbabondibammbearbembobbo A.
