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."

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.

her till greater pleasure in welcoming

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,"

followed. The reports of the superinteu-

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.

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

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.

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-

attendance: Mrs. Heyrock, Mrs. Merner,
Miss E. Rennie and Miss Ethel Wil-
liams, Zurich; Mrs, Paulin, Dashwilod;
Mrs. Dunlop and Rev. Mr. Greene,
Clinton; Mrs. Hooper, Exeter; Mrs.
Snell, Eayfleld; Mrs. McTaggart, Hon -

devotional exercises and the billeting of
delegates. The afternoon session open-

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 -
