Toronto, April i. -According to the observatory, Hallery's comet arose this morning fifty minutes ahead of the sun, and as the light was then pretty strong it was not visible to the naked eye. On the 1.6th of the month it will rise an hour and a half before it, on the 24th an hour and 55 minutes before it, on May 6th two hours and ten minutes before it, and on May 10th two hours and 20 min- • es before it Up to this point the comet has been swinging away from the sun; now it turns and rushes back at it, On May 14th it rises just two hours a- head of the sun, and on May 16th one hour and a half ahead. By this time it is getting hard to see again. Then it swings ever to the eVening .or wes- tern sky and the average citizen gets his chance. • On May 22nd it will set two hours and 45 minutes after the sui sets; on•May 24th three hours and 20 min- utes after it, on May 26th three hours and 50 min'utes, and on May 28.th four hours and five minutes after sun- set. By this time the sky will be totally d.ark, and the comet should stand. out brightly. After that it be- gins another dash at the sun, setting on May 30th only three hours and 50 minutes after it.

The annual vestry meeting in con- nection with St. James' church, Mid- dieton, was held on Monday of last week, with Rev. W. It Denhar in the chair, who, after opening the meet- ing with prayer, made the following remarks : Dear Brethren, -By the mercy of God we have been, permitt- ed to meet once again at our annual vestry meeting. As we look hack on the time since we last met here we acknowledge the loving kindness, the goodness and tender mercies of our God. The year has been a very suecessful one. The attendance on the whole has been good ; I think a little above the average 01 last year. Mr. John Middleton, Minister's Warden, and Mr. W. H. Elliott, People's War- den, are deserving of the greatest credit for all the noble efforts they have made on behalf of the church this year. Especially has their work been visible in connection with our new shed, and I would take this op- portunity of thanking all those who • assisted us in the building of the same, not only by your means but by the time you spent in connection •with it. I believe it has proved a benefft, and will prove a lasting ben- efit to our parishioners here. And I think it is very creditable to the members or the parish generally that, considering our extra expenses this year, we are free of debt. There are some repairs which the church stands in need of at the present time but, I feel sure that the means will be. forthcoming for that purpose too. The A.Y.P.A. has .experienced an- other very Successful season. with Mr. Fred. Middletoa as president and Mr, D. Wyse as vice-president. We are al - 1 ways confident of success in our meet- ings and many a bright evening has been given to the surrounding -dis- trict by the members of the A.Y.P. A. We owe themour hearty thanks for loaning us their proceeds of last year to assist in the building of the shed, and I think it is our day to encourage the young people in every possible way to take an interest • in the work of our church. Some day they will be the leading members and if they. are induced to work now what a blessing it will to the church hereafter. Since we last met here the Young Ladies' Guild has been organized un- der the able leadership ot Miss Hattie Middleton, their :object being to work entirely for the church here. Already their work ih• proving, and I am. sure will continue to prove, a great assistance in the parish. Lastly, but by no means the least, I Wish to say 'a word on behalf of the W. A. The president, IVIrs. Geo, Middleton, is deeerving of the .great- est credit, as indeed are all the members, .for their noble and self- sacrificing efforts on behalf of those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. We might have many more members in. connection With this noble work.• :it is zny earn- eSt wish that others may yet be led to assist' in • the glorious: work of spreading abroad the koWledge of Jesus our. Lord. NOW, brethren, may the Lord indeed further us with his continued help so that all we may do or say this evening may be done and said with a single eye te NiS Mr. J. Middleton jr., was appoint ed Minister's Warden, and Mr. W. H. Elliott, People's Warden. Mr. John Middleton Sr. was appointed delegate te the Synod.
