Praise God for the Filth Annetta Cots*
venbion of the Huron County Christian
Endeavor Union. It was deaidodty the
best of the five . feasts, A gathering of
Power and Promiee,
Goderioh is it model convention town,
, its norm of pleasant homes, its wide
serene and beautiful Court Howe square,
its speaioue churches, its enbhusiastio
Christian young people, these won all
haute and thrilled us with a new pride
in oar County town, The reception of
delegates and their entertainment were
cordial and in every way admirable. The
decorations were numerous Dad In un•
neually good taste, The music under the
batons of Professors lleoker and Belcher
was splendid and all the committees did
their work to universal ac0eptanee.
Especial mention should be made of
the rematkable evenness of the program
and the high emotions' of the addreeees,
for in the language 0f Rev. Johneton,
they would do credit to any of our larger
conventions, The attepclauoe was large,
there being 200 active Endeavorere pree-
ent from all parte of the county, and not
even the beauty of the county town could
attract them from the oonveution.
:Throughout the great gathering there
were countless evidenoee of the fact that
Christian Endeavor is contently grow-
ing in the esteem of the .evangelical de.
nominations.
The weather was excellent and we are
inmost unanimous in thechoice of the
last week in August as the beet time for
these annual gatheriogs to be held.
As the object of these 000ventions is
for inspiration and fellowship, let us try
to keep up our enthusiasm aud spiritual
fervor by working at all times "for Christ
and the Church."
At the Washington Convention Secre-
tary Baer told the story of a sexton up
north who was told by hie pastor one very
cold winter morning, to heat the church
up to 700. Piling high the fuel in the
furnace the sextets worked zealously until
.he had raised the temperature to 720,
thereupon seizing in great glee the ther-
mometer, he rushed aoroae the street to
hie pastor's house, rang the door bell, and
erica as' soon au be entered, "See, sir, the
thermometer is 09 to—to—
The application is obvione—we have
loft the great oonventiou—now let us keep
up its spiritual fervor.
The opening session wan held on
Thursday evening, Rev. Jos, Edge lead.
ing in the devotional exercises and also
presiding during the evening, in the ab-
sence of the President, Dr. Ferguson.
"Why you are needed in the young
people's eooiety," was the subject of the
address given by Rev. Jas. Hnmiltoo, of
Wingham. The excellent combined choirs
of Goderioh, wbioh added so much to the
notes of the oouvention, were well re•
csived and while they sang, the oolieatiou
to defray expenses was taken.
Rev. Wm. Jobnatan,of Wardeville, who
was the guest of the Convention, followed
with an address on "Ohriatiao Citizen-
ship," the eubjeot which received so mnoh
attention at Washington. He dealt with
the probleme of oitizenship in a practical
manner that held the interest of the dele-
gatoe. The man and the eubjeot were
received with hearty acclaim,
The sunrise prayer•meeting on Friday
morning from 6.90 to 7.80 was a glorious
one. At 6.15 some of the delegates were
present and immediately commenced
singing oonventiou hymns, euoh as '500.
eh1ne 10 my Soul" and "Sooner San -
shine." Promptly at 6.30 Rev. Mr. God•
win opened the meeting, there being a
good attendance.
At 9 o'olook Mayor Holmes, of Clinton,
called the oonveution to order and Rev.
W. 6. Kerr, of Hensall, led the devotional
exeraiees.
"The plane of the Holy Spirit in Chris-
tian Endeavor Work," was divided as.
follows ; (a) For Conversion ; (b) for Bible
Study ; (a) foe Prayer, and ably taken by
Mies E. Nott, Tnakeremith ; Mies Dey,
Wingham ; and Mrs. W. C. Landeboro',
Benefield.
"The Associate members, how to win
them for °heist," was the subject of an
0900 parliameut, introduced by A. E.
Thompson, of Goderioh, in a very neat
impromptu address ; following thie was a
lively discussion which impressed several
practical thoughts.

jeot "Consecration," in three divisions.

Every useful wheel must have its hub
—every hub bo bo useful must have its
wheel. Figuratively speaking the Huron
County 0. E. Union is a useful wheel.
As to the hub there may bo some differ.
once of opinion, however, as Goderieh is
tate Comity Town aud now privileged bo
have the Fifth Annual Convention, we
will mint the hub. As we are in the
hub let us turn the wheel upon its axis
and from the hub view its revolutions.
Its oirautnforence ie the county boundary
line and its spokes (which aro the local
sot:edit e) are yearly increasing, Let us
loop for a moment to see how our wheel
has been'strengthened during the last five
ysars. At the first annnal convention
held 111 Wingham in 1802 there wore 16

soaietlos with a total membership of 4,-
508 ; of these 0 are limier 580155150 with
to membership of 457. With the oxoep•
tion of the third yilar this is the largest
BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 18981
inorcase sinal the wllool commenced re-
volving five years ago. In addition to the
bowl societies there are also 'los local
Unions—Goderioh, Clinton, Seaforth,
Blyth and Wingbam ; the Blyth Union
bas boon organized during the 9881 year
and Wingbam has been re.argenized.
Now that we have mounted the spokee we
come to the folly of this wheal, which le
made up of five denominations. One
thing has been made clean during the lash
five yoare, and that is God's design to
bring the young people of tell evangelical
denominations together ; nob for the sake
of denouncing denomination or decrying
creeds, but in a common fellowship that
rsspeots difforel:me and believes m di-
voretty. Oar army makes the young
people more loyal to their own denomin-
ation while at the same time it makes
them more generous towards others.
Stop the wheel and the differentdivisious
of otic folly are easily marked, bearing
different colors as they do. Of the Senior
Societies 46 are Methodist ; 80 are Pros.
byterian ; 4 Episcopalian ; 2 Baptist and
9 Congregational, and though there are
five different oolors, turn the wheel again
and the folly shelve no divisions though
they are aotnally there. The various
colors se they revolve have blended into
one so that onr folly shows but one color
-the Blood of the Lamb that was slain
for the sins of the World. Now for the
loom societies. The societies whose
momberehip is 100 and over are as fol.
lords :—Knox Pres, church 0. E., Gods -

Exeter, Maio St., Meth., 50. And now
while wohave five different denomina-
tions in our Union, I believe that you
will agree with me that the Chrisbian
Endeavor makes a Presbyterian a better
Presbyterian ; a Methodist a better
Methodist ; an Episcopalian a bettor
Episcopalian ; a Baptist a better Baptist ;
a Congregationalist abetter Congregation-
alist, and while dist is true it at the came
time demonstrates that the Drown of the
movement is our blessed inter -denomina-
tional fellowship, The Pledge demands
loyalty to your own church, and, we re.
joke to know that this great movement
is a broad, fraternal, interdenomination-
al, interstate, international, interacted
Society. One ie your Master even. Christ
aud all ye are brethren. And now let me
close by mentioning the best of all—the
very best. • You will agree with me, of
course, bbat the growth of the local so-
cieties is marvellous in oar eyes, but
what of the large number that have taken
Moo next step, and have joined the various
nburahes. T am sorry I cannot toll yon
just the number as far as the County is
concerned, but from statistics gathered
from reliable sources, over 300,000 have
joined the various churches of America
thronglrtho infinencs of the Y. P. So-
cieties during the last year. 'iVhat a
ransomed host, and truly we aro able to
say, Praise God from Whom all blessings
flow.
The nominating comtnittee which had
been appointed an hour previous and cow
sisted of J'. Herr, Wingham ; J. S. Mc.
Elution, Blyth ; Miss Wilson, Clinton ;
Rev. Joseph Edge, Goderioh ; Wm.
Elder, Hensel', now made their report of
the conference with the Sunday school
aaooniation committee concerning the
amalgamation of'tbe county S. S. and
county C. E. associations. ' The report
was not adopted, however, but au 81-
rangomonb was agreed to whereby the
executives of the two associations will
meet together to arrange for a two day
convention in 1897. The first clay to be
devoted to S. S. work, the amend to C.
E. work—this we believe to be a sp)„endid
arrangement and a grand oonvontion in
1807 is assured.
The afternoon session commenced at 2
o'clock, Rev. J. S. Henderson, of Hensall,
nuc of the ex-Preeidenb'e, presiding in his
usual good manner. Rev. W. J. Ford, of
Clinton, took charge of the devotional
580001ses.
F. H. Elford, of Ilolmesville, intro -
deiced the subject "For what purpose
should bhe Society raise money," and was
followed by a lively and profitable dis-
cussion. ,
Then Dame the splendidly prepared
report of the Washington Convention, by
Dr. Mary H. Irwin, of Clinton. We are
sorry that it cannot bore bo printed in
full.
"How shall'we bring our forces into
line for more united eiforb"—(a) for
Missions' ; (13) for Tsmperanco—wero
subjects taen by J. S. Mckinnon, of
Blyth, and Miss L 0. McKenzie, of Sow
forth.
Ono hour of the afternoon was devoted
to bhp "Junior Society," The first
address was given by Miss Minnie Moore,
of Benesols, on the "Method and Possi-
bilities of Junior Workl"
Thou followed an excellent exorcise in
which nine of the Goderioh Juniors,
tmder.bhe dirocbiou of their onthusiastio
superiubondont, Frank Hale, gave the
convention wino illustrated addresses of
the work clone in the Junior Sooioty.
Mrs. W. J. Ford, of Clinton, followed
with a splendid address on the rospon-
sibility of the Seniors to the Juniors.
We trust her remarks have sunk deep
into the hearts of the delegates, and that
as an ouboome of this junior flour many
Junior societies Will be formed during the
year.
The question drawer which followed
was made exceedingly interesting by the
pointed and practical remarks of Rev,
jos. Edge, who has a great love for
young people and thou work

the centre of the churah in readiness for
the consecration service whioll was to
follow.
The newly eleabbod president, W. H,
Herr, of Brussels, was introduced by the
presiding officer, Rev. J. 5. Henderson,
tend WO are assured from his enthusiasm
that ho. will bo a valuable °MTucer during
the coming year. He referred to the
present high standing of the Huron C.
E. Union and asked the co-operation of
every loosl aoeiety in assisting the new
exeontive to fulfil their duties.
Expreesioue of thanks were tendered to
Dr. Irwin, Rev. Wm, Johnston, the choir,
the aburoh authorities ; the Goderioh
societies for their efforts in making the
fifth convention tbo best that has yet
been held, and the Secretary.
Rev. Stephen Bond, of Seaforth, gave
animpressive address on Interdenomin-
ational Fellowship and was folloveed by
Rev. Wm. Johnson, whose subject was
"The Spirituality of Christian Endeav-
or." Rev. Mr. Johnston also conducted
the cansearation service. There were
upwards of 1000 people in the church and
bo every Endeavorer this closing service
will be remembered as the most sacred of
all the sessions. After the prayer and
benediction, the multitude passed out in-
to the night praising God for such an
hour of blessing.

ing about 60 in all, attended service in
the Methodist church. Rev. S. J. Allis,
the pastor, preached a very practical dis-
course, out of the weal line on occasions
of tbie kind, from Acts, 0th chapter, 94d
and 8rd verses. The speaker, after Wel.
coming the brethren, referred to the
fortunate oircumetanee in the choice of
their name "Canadian Order of Forest-
ers," and pointed out the duty of every
man to aid in .building up a etrons,

members and following out their Con-
stitution and obligations they should be a
large contributory foroe in this' respect.

year in death clonus and relieving the
distressed. To the dollars WO must add
our sympathy, as the latter is beyond
computation, The 6477,000 reserve fund
gives a stability to the C. 0. F. and every
man who has not made provision for bis
family in Society or Company insurance
should do so. We should guard against
benevolent societies consuming too much
of our time, to the detriment of other
claims the church or State may bane ou
us. Don't make them the ground of
trust for salvation. Don't be in0onsiet-
ent, but live up to your obligations. The
danger is that belonging to a Society may
cause us to have too limited charity.
The people outside of our respeotive
Orders have claims upon us. The first
attempt at the organization of a similar
Society to the 0. 0. F. was oublined in
the text and there were two leading
thoughts that it would be well to remem-
ber, 1st, Without Christ and his presence
there could be no euoh Society. The
religions of ancient Greece, Confucians,
Buddha did not teach the cars of the
sick, the aged, the widow and fatherless.

very generous boats.—The time and
place of the next Convection were left in
the hands of the executives of the En-
deavor and Co. Sabbath Sobool Associ-
ation, as it will be a join gathering next
year. Either Brussels, Seaforth or
Exeter will probably be the place chosen.
