Twentieth Century Fund This service was conducted in the Tem- perance Sunday, Presbyterian church, Lucknow, on Sabbath by the Rev. Dr. Murray of Kincardine, who took for the basis of his discourse, Nehemiah 4, 6. The Doctor'spoke of the conditions under which the walls of Jerusalem were built and the combined elements necessary to success. These were, 1st —watchfulness and prayer; 2nd— warfare and work: 3rd—unanimity and heartiness. The preacher clearly set forth the object and claims of the trimming. velvet hats, Toques, Turbans, etc. Twentieth Century Fund, of a million Bargains in ends of ribbons. Snaps dollars.

The sermon throughout was most instructive and inspiring and was listened to by the congregdtion with marked attention and appreciation. The Psalms selected were most ap- propriate and sung with heartiness by the choir and congregation. The Rev* R.

Messrs D. Agnew and the Pastor further discussed the subject. AFTERNOON SESSION. The pastor presided over the after- noon session. The meeting opened !)y devotional exercises by Messrs J. F. Andrew and Michael Alton. The report of the four Sunday Schools on the circuit were presented and showed satisifactory progress during the year. There seemed to be a falling off of the attendence of the adult classes. Mr. W. T. Gardner in a very inter- esting manner spoke to a mass meeting of the children on keeping their lives pure, illustrating his remarks by show- ing the effects of impurities mixed with water. Life should be full of good deeds. We should aim at help. ing others heavenward. He reminded that it was easier to pull down than to lift up spiritually. Mr. S.

Just what the Boys Wail for Winter— a abort OverM neatly made, with high comer truths. The subject, "The converst.)u of children," was ably introduced l►yMr. D. Agnew. He said hs fully believed in the conversion of children. He also believed that children before they commit wilful sin are saved, The teacher should aim in leading the children to Christ. It is possible to surround a child with good influences so that its conversion can be easily brought to the Savior. There is a possibility of counteracting the bad in- fluences in their lives by urging them to give their hearts to the Saviour. Parents should'not be two faced before their children. If we want the con- version of children we must start at a very early age. lie reminded par- ents that their example had a tendency to lead or to hinder their conversion. Mr. S. Murchison addressed the audience cn the same subject. He aFlied the children what they went to school for'? To gain knowledge day by day. There is another teacher we can have to teach us—the great teacher. A discussion followed by Messrs. J. Taylor, W. T. Gardner and the pas tor. EVENING SESSION Mr. W. Hunter acted as chairman very efficiently. Mr. Jos. Taylor con- ducted devotional exercises. The need and advantages of the catechisom in the S. S. was addressed by Mr. L Andrew, He said the cat- echism was too much neglected in c.ur schools. He thought the teaching of the catechism was a necessity. He said it bore the same relation to sacred truths a.s definnitions to geography. The first thing to be learned in music was its catechism. He said if the church does not give the school a catechism the pupils will construct ope of their own with wrong definatiops, Mr. Jas. Stothers addressed the aud- ience on the same subject. The object of teaching the pupils the catechism is to teach them about God. The desire of every parent should be to bring the children to Christ. He said it should be taught in our schools because it is founded on the word of God. Mr. W. P. Reid spoke very forcibly on the subject, 'Hindrances to S. S. work." He said that parents should take a great interest is the spiritual welfare of their children; regular at- tendence of pupils is a great help to the S. S. He thought more adult scholars should attend the School. The teacher should endeavor to make the study of the lessons interesting so that it will attract pupils to the school. gr. W. Stothers addressed the con- gregation on the tame subject. He said the ob ►ject of the S. S. is for the Falvation of the children. It is a ser- ious matter to hinder the children in coming to Christ. He said among the hundreds of S. S. were influences to which children ,were exposed during the week that have a tendency to counteract the S. S. teaching. He spoke of the needless employment of bicycles and horses to desecrate the Sabbath. The subject was discussed by Messrs Brown, Bowles, Taylor r►nd the pastor. The Pastor gave an interesting and instructive address on the Sabbath. He said : l at, We are requested by S. S.

The 19th annual S. S. Convention of the Ashfield circuit of the Metho- dist chur. h was held at liackett's church, Nov. 15th, 1899. The morning session was presided over by Mr. S. Sherwood very ably. The Convention opened with devotion- al exercises by Mr. James Taylor. The A Slanderous Report minutes of last convention were read We have been requested by Mr. e)nd confirmed. John Boyd of this village to state that he will pay a liberal reward to anyone w10 will furnish him with information as to the party or parties who circul- ated the slanderous reports against him to the effect that he had changed his name, and that his name was not on the passenger list of the Steamship Dominion, on his recent trip to the Old Country. It was also reported that Mr. Boyd had run away with the insurance money belonging to the Caledunian Society, but there is not the slightest particle of truth in the statement. One by One We are again called on to chronicle the decease of another pioneer of the township of Ashfield, in the person of the late Henry Peers, who had been ill for about twelve months from a combination of diseases, to the effects of which he succumbed last Saturday. His remains were interred 'in the Dungannon cemetery, being escorted frorn his late residence by sorrowing relatives and friends. The deceased was sixty -;ix years of age.

Gardner gave an excell- ent address on the subject, "Claims of S. S. on parents." Parents can assist the teachers by seeing that the child- ren have their. S. S. lessons prepared at home; by seeing that the children are punctual and regularly at S. S.; by visiting the school; by praying with and for their children. Parents should respect the officers and teachers of the school before their children. Messrs W. T. Gardner, D. Agnew, and the pastor further discussed the subject. The subject, "How can we secure the help of the Holy Spirit." was ably presented by Mr. James Taylor. Ile said that the teacher is often trying to accomplish a task which he was not able to perform himself. The task of the Sabbath School worker is to lead the children to Christ. The teacher should aim at two things; l st, to en- lighten the minds of the pupils on the teachings of the scriptures; 2nd, to seek to impress them with the truths. The teacher cannot do this without the aid of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is accomplishing the same taut. God is willing to give the Spirit to help us and there is no hindrance on Loss on Lambs The market for lambs has taken a tumble and dealers have been losing money. The Oheslie Enterprize says that a buyer from that village recently shipped 188 lambs from that station to Buffalo.1 He lost exactly $26.51. The cost per cwt. for freight and other expenses from there to Buffalo is $1.62. As lambs weigh about 90 lbs each, it cost about $1.50 to ship one lamb from there to Buffalo.

He showed the first day of the week was thus to be employed, and there he reminded the audience that they should look upon the Sabbath as one of God's greatest gifts to mankind, and illustrating this thought by referring to the physical, moral and spiritual benefits of the Sabbath. 2nd, They should look upon it as the Lord's day and not our own to be employed as He directs and not as we think. are, They should look upon it as a type of •Heaven.
