The congregation of the Main Street Methodist church has every reason to feel greatly pleased andratified over i the success that attended their anni- versary services on Sunday. While i the church was well filled in the morn- ing it was cr.lweled to overflowing in the evening. The afternoon was giv- en to a service to the Sunday school and young people of the congregation. So much was the morning service ap- preciated that the church was well fill- ed again in the afternoon, and judging from the attention paid and hearty in- terest sh.)wn, this could not have been less appreciated than the others. Rev. A. L. Russell, M. A., L. L. B., of Lind- say. 0 former pastor of James Street, had charge of the services and ranking among the first preachers of the Do- minion his discourses were inspiring and intellectually interesting. disclos- ing much deep thought and evincing to his large congregations that he had not lost any of his old-time vigor that characterized bis able efforts of days gone bye. As a tribute to his abilities Asa preacher it may be said many of his old-time hearers were among the conregations and were delighted with not only his able sermons but for the teprivilege of again hearing their es- emed friend. The choir deserves much praise and eulogy for their beau- tiful singing which contributed mach in brightening the services on each occasion. A most charming feature of the serv;ces was the singing by Mr. C. J. Pink, tenor soloist of Askin St. Methodist church. London. Mr. Pink possesses a pure. rich musical tenor voice of good volume and elastic com- pass, clear and pleaaing alike in high and low register, and his enunciation is so clear and distinct that every word is understood. His expression is par- ticularly pleasing and at once wins the admiration of his bearers. Altogether the services were probably the best that the church has ever had. The collections were in keeping with the other features, being the largest in the history of the church and amounted to about $270.

Kindly excuse. School Concert a Success.) The School Concert given under the auspieces of the high School Literary Society iu the Opera House on Friday evening last was a very pleasant suc- cess in every way. The house was fill- ed tocxpaeity with people interested in the welfare of the school from town, cunnt1y and surrounding villages. Financially the result was very pleas- ing, over 880 having been received, the greater part of which will be pro- fit to the society and will be useful in carrying on the good work this organ- ization is doing atunng the older pupils particularly. In the matter of pro- g•'am there was nothing to he desired, every number having been rendered in a pleasing manner and heartily appre- ciated. The chairman's address by Mr. Samuel Martin, one of the trustees of the school, was characteristic of Mr. Martin, bright, cheerful and interest- ing; the choruses by the Glee Club, the solos by Mr. Fleming, Alice Hownrd and Tom Carling, the recitations by Mary Murray, End McPherson and Beatrice Howey, the instrutnentals by Elmet a Senior and Etta Davis (duet) and Flossie Foss were all of a first. class order and were well received by the large audience, while the milk maid drill by sixteen girls was admir- ably performed. Much interest was centered in the debate: "Resolved that Navigiltion has been more beneficial to the World than Railway Traffic." The affirmative was taken by Alvin Brint- nell and Dyer Houston while the nega- tive was upheld by Harvey Ga rliner and Le Roy Coultiee, all of whom read well prepared papers upon thesubject, stating their arguments in *clear. con- cise and often times humorous manner. The subject was a good one, and the points made by the two sides were nianv and must also have been close in number. it was apparent, however, that the affirmative had a little the better of the debate. and such proved to be the decision of the judges,Revds. Perkins. Martin and Godwin, as an- nounced in a bright and brief speech by Rev. Perkins at the close of the debate. At the conclusion of the pro- gram Principal Fleming, on behalf of the society, thanked all for the kindly interest taken in the concert and oth- er sehoul matters by the parents. guardians aad others, after which. led by the Die* Club, the whole audience slang "God Save the Queen" in honor of Her Majesty, Queen Alexandra, it being the occasion of her 61st birthday. The Town's Interests. TO THR EDITOR OF TER ADVOCATE. DEAR SIR.— Much has been said of (fate on this question, and well said, each writer suggesting souse new and good ideas. The former writers have gone fully into the matter of what our town needs. They have shown that our requirements are well taken care of in the educational, professional, mercantile and trading lines. Now, I think we 1111 are agreed that we need manufacturing industries. The vital question is. to my mind, whose tnove Is it next? In this, undoubtedly, there will be at wide difference of opinion, whether it is the duty of the town to hold out an inducement or the pro- moter to lay his proposition before the Council and afterwards the people. History has told us that many propo- sitions hetes been laid before our Coun- cils;for their consideration and approv- al, how many have carried, were they all bad? We twist consider the ruul- tiplicity of detail that the promoter finds it necessary to wade through re- quiring months of hard work and in- volving the expenditure of large sums of money before he can culture a pro- position up to a point where he feels safe and justified in accepting an offer from the town and embarking with his own capital. After he has gone to all this expense and labor it would seem an additiomil loss to recede. Thus we find that promoters of merit do not extend to us the pleasure of turning them down even though it may be from Indifference, short-sight- edness or scepticism. Our position is this. We as a town cannot go where we like, the mann- fact urer can,and usually falls int oopen arms. Let us extend our hand to the promoter of the industry. Let the Council at once take the necessary steps to have a By -Law sshmitted to the ratepayers clothing the incoming Council with power to grant a loan of a certain percentage of the capital necessary to finance the industry, the loan to cover a period of ten years without interest, re -payable during the last five' years in five equal instal- ments without interest. Then elect a Council that will advance as well as siefeguard the interests of the town. This will give every ratepayer that is able to measure up to the standard an opportunity to step up and take the prize. 1 would suggest that the Coun- cil also 1* empowered to exercise sotne latitude in adjusting the details to meet the requirements of the case. My object in suggesting this course is to bring the manufacturer and the town together. Heretofore when the tnanufactnrer was here with all his plans matured and reedy to negotiate * deal, the Council found themselves with the cumbersome task of submit• ting it to the people before closing a contract. This tedious delay, and un- certainty of results. has checked the final step that would bring about the desired results. in conclusion would say, place our interests in the hands Of the Council, clothe them with latitude, stand by their decisions, and encourage them in this way to do their beet. Five in- telligent men should be able to handle any proposition to the beet interests of all concerned, that may come be- fore then, Thanking you for your valuable space.
