Tfte I.,ondon Advertiser collies down upon the lawyers with both feet, in deseribing them as ignor- ant of the law, Indeed, it would require a lawyer with four heads to keep traek of and comprehend the many changes made in the statues from year to year, espec. ially those of Ontario. The trouble too, is, judges are disposed to be too multifarious in their opinions. DECIDEDLY contradictory to al- legations and expectations, the Emperor William's speech at the opening of the Reichstag on Satur- day, was full of appeasing element, instead of apathy as to the welfare of Germany. He will follow in the path of his deceased grandfather, being resolved to maintain peace, and will adhere to the alliance with Austria and Italy. The ad- dress was received with the utmost enthusiasm and was a great sur- prise for many. -0-- THE military autholities of Great Britian are still averse to buying horses in Canada for army pur- poses. Although they haye retur- ned this year and purchased a tew they argue chat a proper breeding system isnot practised here. Gen- eral Ravenhill's reports of his ex- perience in Canada says that the Canadian horse is a hardy, clean - legged, good colored, tractable, and trustworthy quadruped, but he is worked too young, and is rarely sound on arriving at maturity. Moyeover, the mares from which Canadian farmers breed are com- *pletely worn out when put to the stud and few of the Canadian stal- lions are put for stock raising pur• poses. A GB.EAT many places through- out Canada, especially in Ontario, have bored for natural gas and found•it in plenty. It costs from •$800 to $r000—eaccording to .dep- th --to bore a well, and should gas be found the investment will be profitable. Mr. Finkbeiner,of0hio, of whom mention was made last • week, say i that natural gas can be found a short distance from Exe- ter at a moderate depth. He says that in Ohio villages much smaller than Exeter have as ma.ny as three • and our natural gas wells and that they prove aboon to the place. The gas is used /or heating, light- inf.; and various other purposes. We think Exeter would lose noth- ing were she to sink a well in •search of natural gas. THE I?.epeblician party of the U. • S. have at last chosen their canch- dates, aod will now open up their • ranks for a big ,.fight. For Presid- ent, Gen. 1-larrison, of Indiana, received the nomination, on the eight ballad, by a yote ot 544. out of 83o ballots cast. And for .Vice - President, Levi Morton, of New York, by a very large vote. Both men are said to be strong indeed, and according to the more enthu• siastic are sure to win. It is for- gotten, however, that President Cleveland, the Democratic ca.ncli- date, is muth stronger and as he is able to marshal at the out set a controlling support his victory will be an easy oee. The struggle will • be watched with great interest in • Canada as the attitude of the 1Dernocratic Government, in many respects, is favorable to the major- ity of Canadians. Tree following extract from a letter fro ri Mr. Jas. Graham, of Kincardine township, now in Da- kota, under date of June 2nd, goes to show that a man who has a farm in Ontario and can hold onto it, had better work diligently and consider himself happy : 4'We11, I am going to tell you something about this country. We had a very cold spring and very dry. No rain since I came out here, u ith frost every night, and last night it froze very hard, there bei..g a quarter of an inch of ice on a bar rel of water at the. stable door. This place is bad off for water ; have to draw it 4 miles. Only (tile barrel a day can be got out Of the wells here. I would neither buy nor take up land here. I was lucky however, in getting employ- ment at fair wa.ges, But for scar city ot water I should like this • section well/, the land being easy • to till. But the water is salty even at a depth of a roe feet, so •much so that stock dislike it. rarmers bete are anxiouS to sell out ancl go west, where water is plentiful. I am going further west myself shortly, Ontario :s the fin- est country I have yet Seen," POST Unfree Inspector, Barker, of Lendell, was in town one day last week and availed himself of a drive over the proposed inailroute, visiting the different villages inter- ested. He also interviewed several of the more prominent boldness men of Exeter; but did not ex. press himself as to whether a change would be effected, or liot, simply stating that the matter would be fully and impartially con- srdered. ParldrillReview is becom- ing more generous in its remarks in this connection, although slightly disposed to misrepresent. His only argument in favor of the pres- ent system is that mail, matter from Toronto will reach Granal Bend three days of each week, a few hours (only) earlier than it would via Exeter, forgetting that there are other important cities (London for instance) in Ontario in which the greater portion of this community do business; and that the people of which can be com. municated with by the proposed system with less delay than is now the case. Under the new system a daily stage and mail will run from Exeter to the Grand Bend, leav- leg Exeter at 9:3o a. m. and re- turning in the evening in time to connect with the trains going north and south. It will therefore be seen that the people at Grand Bend and Dashwood, besides re- ceiving mail matter from London a day earlier than they• do now via Parkhill, would receive commune cations froth Toronto but a few hours later than do the people of Exeter; and we suffer no serious delay. To give our readers an idea of the serious delay to be ex- perienced by the change, three let- ters posted at Grand Bend on three consecutive• days can have three answers from Toronto, in one week. Not much delay and in- convenience m such an order of things, we imagine. And, besides giviog the communities along the line a good mail service, there will be a considerable saving of money in mail con veyence throughout the townslaips, as several of the smaller routes will be dispensed with. Parklull would like the whole earth but they must be satisfied with a portion of it. at once if possible, immediately at the close of the preceding lesson. Study the lesson in the family during the week, thereby storing the mind of the eeholar for the lesson on Sunday, We should have a reserved list of teaeliers. Rave a training class for preparing teachers for the S, S. The teachers need sympathy and help from the parents of the children. Mr. Geo. Tedford, Clinton, apeaking on the same enbject, said the z e is always a difficulty in securing teachers forthe S. S. The parent should be converted, and then he would be willing to work in the school, We should be glad to impart what know- ledge we have; as Christ has „imparted his love to us, we should extend the knowledge of that love to others. We should not be too quick to use harsh means with the scholars, but be constant in prayer for their salvation. God will certainly hear and answer the prayers of an earnest teacher. Normal classes were specially regain - mended for the benefit of reserved teach- ers, so that they would be prepared at a moment's notice to take charge of a class whose teacher was absent. It is the positive duty of the teacher, when absent to secure a suitable supply. Under the head of "Queries and Ans- wers," the first topic of tlie morning was further discussed, yiz, ."Sundox, School Discipline." A letter by Mr. Grigg, . was read by Mr. Clarice, containing suggest- ions with reference to thie topic, The Nominating Committee reported the following officers ; -President W J Clarke, Exeter; vice-president, W If. Kerr, Brussels, Rev. C. Staebler, W. }f. R. W. McKenzie, Goderich; George Tedford and Rev. W. Craig, Clinton. General secretaries, J, C. Stevenson and A. Pr. Manning, Clinton. Exe'entive Committee, Rev. O. 11. Bridgeman, len- sall; W. M. Gray, ' Seaforth; 1. P. Miss, Exeter; Hugh MeQuarrie, Blyth; D. D. Wilson, Seaforth, and the ministers and superintendents of the next place of meeting. The report was unanimously adopted. TirinD SESSION. , The President, in a short address intro- duced the President elect, Mr. W. J. Clarke, who, in a Very pleasant manner, addressed the convention, and took his seat as President for the current year. "The Sabbath, what should the school do to preserve its sanctity," was introduced by Rev. D. M. Kennedy, Crediton. The Sabbath is as old as creation. God: rest- ed on the sevenths day, after' his -labors in creating the world. The Sabbath shows man's dependence and obligation to God. It is a day specially appointecl for the worship of God. The Sabbath is correct- ly terzned the first day of the week, as Christ rose from the grave on that clay, and finished the atonement of mankind. The school should teach these facts. The more intelligent a Christian is, the more perfectly he serve Christ. We Should give the scholar all the necessary infor- mation in connection with scripture doctrines, so that they may be able to combat successfully with the atheism of the present day. The school should -be taught the sanctity of the Sabbath, as taughtin the Bible: 'There is no law Huron County S. S. Convention, broken so much as the fourth command- ._ (Oontinned 'from last week) SECOND SEsstoN: After opening exercises the 3rcl topic "Sunday School Missionary Work" was taken up. Mrs. James Graham, Exeter, read a very interesting paper on the subject. The first duty of the church and Sunday School is to lead the world to Christ. The scholars should start now a life of self-sacrifice, for the good of the heathen. It is easy to win the scholars, if the teacher is in earnest.--Gi them something to do for others.. Bring ourselves and the Sunday Schools into the great haryest field of the Lord. There is enough work for all to do. Devise liber- al things for God and He will devise liber- al things for ns, remembering the prom- ise, "Lo, I am with you always." Miss Gunn, Clinton, also read a paper on the missionary work of the school. - Christ commands every one to go into the field and work. Childhood is the best time to receive impressions of the need of the mission work. The teacher must be thoroughly in sympathy with mission work, and full of zeal, so as to make the scholars enthusiastic in the same work. lt is a,glorious privilege to help carry the gospel to thcse who have it not. The children should have proper books and papers setting forth the claims of the great work of missions .-Ask them to pray for the success of the cause ; send to outiyin,g mission stations books, &c., thus interesting the scholars in some special place needing help. Let all the children haye mission boxes,, and teach them the principles of self denial, so that they an give their money to carry on the work. Train them thoroughly to the claims of missions, and bring to their minds the claims of Christ upon them, Airs. J. Ross' paper on the same sub- ject was read by Miss, Anderson, Sea. forth. The sehool is a drill shed where recruits are being prepared for the field of toil. As soon as we hear the call of the church we want to forward the call to others. Christ is a commander as well as a Saviour. He calls the the scholar to work for him, so that they may become the fishers of men. Care should be taken to place thens in their proper sphere of • Work. The missionary Cause is that for which the church and Sabbath SO11001 exist Interest in anything is roused by giving interesting facts. -We cannot be interested in anything we know nothing about. We must have :knowledge of the miserable state of the heathen world to rouse the true missionary spirit, If Inter- est is fairlyaroused, liberality will nat- urally spring of itself. Teach children that mosey is not all that is wanted of them Their sympathy, their prayers, their tine, their influence, and above all themselves. If these are gained the money will come. A tumber of illustra- tions were given of individual eases of raising money for the great work of "How to maintain a full staff of effi- cient teachers, both regular ised reserved," was introditeed. by Bev. 1. B. Walwin, of Coderieh, who said that successful Sun- day 8011001 work depends very largely upon the work in the horne.—There is an avenue into every child'a heart which we an only reach by love. The first quail - &Mimi the teacher should have is can - version ; they who engage in S S.work should do so for their love to God, as well as their love to their seholais The duty of the teacher is to tetteh the scholar its personal relation to God, and he cannot do this unless he knows his own relation to God as his father, The prayer meet- ing of the teachers is very beneficial to the successtal carrying on of the work. C.tieful preparation is absolutely noose. ary on the part of the teacher. The age demands thoroughly efficient teachers in the S. S. OR the scholars ale advancing so ranidly in the l'ublic Schools. Commence the study of the leSSOli early in tile week, merit, hence instruction is all the more necessary, as the law is the direct com- mand of -God. There is no license to do any kind of work on the Sabbath, except - works of mercy and necessity. The Sab- bath school should teach that God's curse rests on :those who break his laws. If there is one thing more than anotherthat will bring the curse of God down, it is. Sabbath- desecration. The address was instructive and well receiyed. Foutair SEsstoN. "Sunday school music" was introduced by Rev. Wm. Craig, Clinton, in the form of a paper readby him. All realize the importance of music in the Sabbath school The praise and glory of God shmild be the first element of song; teaching second; and interesting the children, important as it is, occupying the third place. There should be in all Sabbath school music elements of strength, something that will last.. Tunes that are easily learned are not always the best, as they are often the • mosteasy to get tired ot. Our hymns would be more of adoration to God, and not so much of ourselves. A goocl instru- ment is very necessary to successful sing- ing. Give sbigipg a large place in the Sabbath school. Make the session an hour long, and give half of it to singing, not all at once, but interspersed through the service. There should be different music in the Sabbath school than what is in the church, but we should 'keep to the standard, hymns and tunes, that do not wear out with age: . Discussion was taken part in by several of thessdelep,ates, the points brought out being11ot we 'cannot be too careful who the leader of•song is. The style Of anthem singing should be countenanced in the Sabbath school. We should have more of the hymns of the church in the school, so that the scholars would be better acquaint- ed with them when in the public services. The principal ,suggestion was, that there should be more singing in the Sabbath school. Mr. A. H. Manning, Clinton, taught a very interesting and profitable Bible class lesson, John 21, lst to 14th verse, which proved to be one of the most instructive sessions of the convention. PIETA SEsSrox The different Sabbath Schools of the' town met together in the James Street Methodist church. 'Rev. W. Craig was the first speaker to address the children. Ile said every babtized child is a child of God. There is no necessity for serving the devil at all. • The child shoidd be careful to keepall the oominandtnents of God. First, honor father and mother. Second, not to bear false witness against each other, " Be sure to tell. the truth, and also he very careful what kind of lan- guage we use. Christ is our example, and we should follow in his footstepe in every- thinem gV. Mr. Siraebler made a h Rumorous address, part of it being in German, which pleased the children very much. ' Rev. J. Hs Simpson, Brucefield said boys should not be.sulky. How disagree- able and unpleasant a Sulky boY or girl is, They should also learn to restrain passion." Parents should never punish their children when in angertbe, should always Wait, long enough to let passion cool off. toys should idso be very careful net to give way to idlenees, Everything ia nature reminds ns of activity and 'nothing can he aecomplished without labor.
