An intereging Debate.
An unusually interesting meeting of
the Youn Wornert's Guild of Willis
church was held last Monday evening,
when all the members of the congre-
gation were invited to listen to a de-
bate on the subject "Resolved, that
motley has snore Influence in the world
than ability." The Offirsnative side of
the argument was taken by Mr, Cran-
ston and Miss Annabel McEwen, while
the riegative side WAS dealt- With by
Mr. Walter Stewart.
Mr. Cranston, leader Of the affirma-
tive, spoke particularly of tbe influence
of wealth on the. 'development of a
country, citing- examples ; of its in-
fluence On moulding the character of
theaSeople ; of the power it wields in
politics, in the liquor traffic, in corpor-
ations, etc., and, lastly, of the oppor.
tunity that lies before the people of
Christendom today' in attempting to
solve questionssuch as the labor ques •
tion, the situations in Russia and Jap-
an, where the power' of • money has
hitherto preaented a successful solution.
Miss Manning, leader of the negative,
then cleverlyand emphatically brought
the other aide of the que'stron before
her hearers. Mise Manniog's strongest
points in favok of ability were : That
money is einiply the servant of ability,
and; as its servant, wields less. infirtenee;
that while money is mortal, ability' is
immortal ; that men .deei.re Money
simply that they may buy the product
of other rhen's ability., .
Miss, ka wen, the second speaker'
for the affirmative, took exception" to
many of her opponent's arguments,
seeking to prove conclusively that abil-
ity. of itself can avail very little ; that:.
in many cages in modern Mines ability
does not enter into consideration to
any extent, while money is of porn-.
mount importance;
also that necessity,
not' ability, is the key to invention.
Miss McEwen endeavored, trio to prove
that anoney is air incentiye to effort,
and gives the p.eWer to eXeteteetitiMy.
Mr. Walter • Stewart, the . second,
speaker for the negative, showed a
great deal of versatility in the way in
which he dealt with his opponents' ma
guments.. In a. very interesting• and
impressive way he spoke mote particu-
larly of the wonderful influence for.
good of ability in the world today, as
shown in the literature and poetry •
that hos been handed down to us from
those, who ..certainly were not in-
fluenced by•money, but whose 'ability
along these lines has hada lasting in-
fluence. ' Money, " he claimed, might
buy many things, but ho. amount of
mon. ey couid buy ability.
Mr. Cranston, in a very concise re-
ply, took exception to some of his op-
ponents' arguments, on the ground
that the instances • cited were not par-
allel, and also emphasized still more,
strongly the fact that necessity, net
ability, was the cause of invention..
Cranston spoke particularly of the
situation in Japan and Russia, proving
that the war was brought to a success-
ful issue not so much on account of the
ability of the ja,paneee, as to the fact
that they had come to the end of their
resources or wealth, and therefore
were conspelled to make peados With
Russia
Ar .carefully .considreeing both
sides of the argument ampaatirdly, Dr.
Gunn, on behalf of the Judges (Dr.
Gunn, Miss Lough and Mr. O. Lindsay)
gave the decision in favor of the affirm-
ative. Possibly the rtrgurnents brought
forward by the negative were more.
conyincing than those brought forth
by the affirmative, but the affirmative
took a broader scope of the subject,
inasmuch as they considered the in.
fluence of money beth for good and
evil, while the negative dealt almost
entirely, with thi
e nfluence .of shifty
for good. However., both sides of the
argument ;tee to be congratulated on
th eir good style arid fluency in speaking.
The addition of some musical num-
bers, in the -form of a solo by Miss Me-
Corvie, and two quartette selections
by Misaes. Coats and Lapine, Messrs.
Jackson and alcIlyeen, aoried the pro
'eeedings of the evening verypleitsantly.
Temperance Conference.

A conference of temperance 'workers
for the eounty of Huron was held in

prominent temperance workers were
present, tehen matters in general af-
fecting the welfare 'of the county Were
discust-sed, more particularly with re-
gard to the proposed amendment to
the license law now before the Legisla-
ture, when, by resolution, it was de-
cided to communicate with the Provin-
cial Secretary, [gating the views of the
convention °ea:what it considered the
unfairness of the. 00% clauses. It was
