In Wesley church last Thursday there was great activity from early morning untii'late at night. From each of the fifteen Methodist circuits connected with C1oderich dis- trict, there were a number of repre- sentatives, who sat in session throughout the day and evening, at- tending to the various s P roblems in- troduced the i by leaders r a< e s o the church. Rev. W. I3. Graham of Stratford, who is president this year of London Conference, was one of the chief speakers and he organized the dis- trict to take k an active art in the great inter -church national cam- paign, the object of which is to main- tain the same spirit of brotherhood which was found, when all churches and various peoples united,against a common foe on the battlefield -to in- spire the same spirit ot service, which made our soldiers invincible. In a word to keep the Churches of Canadain the forefront of the new order of living which confronts the world. At the evening session Rev. W. H. Graham was the first ,speaker and he made an impassioned appeal to his hearers to break away from narrow pargchial ideas' and get a world outlook -To gea our duty, toward tho foreigner who dwells in our country and yet is not becoming Canadian -- To insist that ho pass some given test of qualification before being giv- en the franchise. IIe emphasized the danger of our future if we allow these people to take possession of our land without doing our duty toward eitizenizing them, Rev, Dr. Moore gave a short but very insetting address, dwelling on the corollary to President Wilson's fatuous phrase "Making the world safe for Democracy," Dr. 'Moore's challenge was to make "Dinocracy safe for the world," And tie only possible way to do it is to give ev- ery Human being a fair deal mid a chance to develop the very best qualities with which he has been born. Neither poor nor rich have any moral right to tyrranize over the other. A very Dimming umb tt er on the evening program was a male e gtrartetto by Rev. Mr, McCanius, and Messrs. Metwort, Audrows and.Lobb, The ladies of Wesley ohurch eer.vcd beth dinner and ten, to tho visitors tend had about as busy a day as did tiro delegates, Patriotic Society will be held in 'the council chamber on Friday of this week at.3 o'elock, As business of importance has to be dealt with all the members are urged to be present, RECOVERING.
