SAVINGS.
IJJA ACCOUNT
May Be Small at first, but the noticeable feature of
Royal Bank Saving Accounts is that they grow.
We are constantly opening accounts for small sums,
but these usually increase to amounts that are very
satisfactory to both Depositor and Banker.
The first deposit acts as a magnet for the add.
amounts that are so apt to be wasted.

WESLEY CITORCIL
The open session of the S. S. last
Sunday was well attended. Short ad-
dresses were given by •tae pastor,
MessrLe A. T. Cooper and H. E.
Rorke, and also Mr. Terme Taylor of
London, a former aetive worker in
this scbooi. Special Christmas music
was rendered by the choir and oth-
ers: .an ending was taken in aid of
the Sick Children's Hospital, and the
primary class did exceedingly . well
in this respect, •contributing nearly
ten dollars.
On Sunday the church coir .gave
a splendid musieal program, the an-
thems 'being well chosen and rendered
with excellent taste and effeee. Piot
BroWn is to be congratulated.' on the
result cif his careful training of the
choir; .The orean 'voluntaries,- mostly
from 'Mee Messiah," were also
greatly appxeciated. ' ' ' . ' i
The pastor's subject .next Sunday
morning will be, "ilelpfuS Service,"
followed by a renewal' of the Covell-.
ant. In •the evening he will giati au
address on 'die - questton of . Local
Option, "What it' ie and hoW- it has
succeeded."
At the regular ineeting of the 'jr,'
League, tlie leaders . had. a surprise
for the ' juniors '. in the shape Of . a
Christmas Tree. • Eaoh Member - re-
ceived a gift, and a nicelittle pro -
grain was rendered so that it was a
happy little :company which wended
their ,wae 'homeward through the
December- dusk. •
WORTHY OF BEST THOUGHT.
• "The question of piOaibition is
Worthy at the • best .thought of ' the
best rainda," said Me: E, W. Metre*,
Superintendent .. ei ehe . Anti -Saloon
'League of Michigan, in the town hall
on Tuesday °veldt's. l'And ...it is oc-
cupying the best :thought of the best
minds an, this country and my own.
There is no place forahe bat in so-
. ciety. and it is but a matter of n
• little time and - of further education
when it .wili be banished. Tae bar-
room is not worthy ' of the preteetion
of municipalities . or of the ,proaiace;
for it is not doing a legitimate lbus-
'
iness, but is a parasite feeding upon
prosperity,and every merchant and
r business man . in your town should
I
.be arrayed oh the. side of 'Local Cp-
1
1 tion, for the bar -room is the compe-
1 titor of every other kind of businees.
As for Local Option hindering busin-
ess i Oa the .contrary it helps every
1 'line of business except the saloon
business'and the time is not fax dis-
tant waen we shall gee business in-
terests as well as church interests
and - ehe interests of moral reform are
tayed on the side of Local Option or
1 prohibition." Mr. Morrow then
l' dealt with the .arginnetit that Local
1 Option increased taxes. "I do /la
blame a man," said he, "for think-
ing upon this phase of the question.
But it is time that Napa!' began
paying their own taxes. If a build-
ing is Worth tea thousand dollars.
'f with a' license to sell liquor attach-
.
, ed, and falls to nve thousand When
1 the license is taken away, that prove
1 es that the latter is the actual value
1 of the property. Liquor selling 3 lads
. such enormous profits that liquor sel-
lers can afiord to pay higher • rents'
than any other line of business, but
the actual value of the property in
• not increased. Let property fall to
its proper • value and pay, if you
must, your sharefoi the increaitel. tax -
alien." The speaker thea took up
•the matter of the revenue dt rived
from license fees and said :"The in-
crease in your tales that will result
from the loss of these will be •no
small that you will • hardly notice
It unless you were looking for and
expecting it. If the value of your
property is one thousand dollars, the
increase to you will probably be a
dollar and twentyeone or twenty-two
cents. If you are only assessed five
hundred dollars, the increase will be
• about pixtsr-two dents. Not a very
1 alarming increase, certainly." Mr.
' Morrow met the argument, which be
said had been used in Michigan ex-
tensively, that • the farmers would
not bo able to sell their grain if • the
breweries were closed, by showing
that only one bushel in sixty-nine
was used by the breWeries of tile
Veiled States. "I think," said • the
speaker, "that We will be able to take,
, care of that one bushel in sixtaaine."
'• Mr. Morrow'a address lasted for an
hour and a quarter and wag reeelNed
with warm applause. •Mr, A. Hoop-
