NORTH HURON LIBER- ALS HAVEFAITH IN SINCIAIR• At a meeting of the Liberal execu- tive of the riding of North Huron, held at i3elgrave, delegates were ap- pointed to tli:e provincial convention to be held at Toronto, December 16 and 17. Those appointed were: H. B. Elliott, of Wingham, and J. J, ,Rob- ertson, of Colborne Township, res- pectively, president and secretary of the riding association; Mrs. Robert: Davidson, Dungannon;. Miss Blyth McLaughlin, Gorrie; 5, R.. Wendt, Wroxeter; J. W. Craigie, Goclerich, and Mrs. A. 'Lamont, Grey Township. Mrs. J. R. Cutt, Blyth, was appointed treasurer of the association to succeed the late A. B. Carr, The meeting went on record endorsing'. W. E. N. Sin- clair, K.C. the present leader of the provincial Liberal party, FATHER OF THE SENA.T 4. Hon. Pascal Poirier Was Appointed ixt 1885. Although the Hon. George Casimir Dessaulles, carrying' his 102 years fairly sprightly, is the oldest man i"' the Senate, he is not the oldest Sen.- ator. The: real "Father of the Sen- ate," • in point of service, is another man of French blood, the Hon. Pascal Poirier. Since 1885 he has sat on the red cushions. He is one of two sur- viving . Senators --the '' other being Hon. 'Hippolyte Montplaisir who owe their appointments to Sir John :Macdonald. Senator Poirier cele- brated his 78th. birthday on February 16 last. About Poirier's appointment to the Renate there is an Ottawa . legend. Poirier, a strong Conservative,was postmaster in the House of Commons. The story goes that Sir John Mac- donald, facing the possibility that ono of his measures would be rejected in the Upper House • (the Mackenzie ad- ministration had resulted in his hav- ing but a precarious majority there) one day suddenly summoned Poirier from his' post office, swore 4im into a Senate vacaney, and saw him vote his measure to success the very next day. Whether this story is a legend and nothing more, it is difficult to say. In any event the appointanent-proveda good one. _Poirier, descended from an. odd Acadian family, was a distin- gtilshed• member of the legal protes- elon (being a member of the . Bar. both in. New Brunswick and Quebec)• and was also distinguished as a writ-. er. Hehas been long couneated with a number of French-Canadian liter- ary societies, and in addition to hav- ing produced a scholarly work al "L'Ot igine des Acadiena"' 'and "Le varier Branco-Aeadien et ses orig- roes," he has been. °an active 'contribu- tor to the newspapers- and reviews.

Referring to tate new alloying metal for the silver : eoinage, Sir Robert gives the composition for the first time—silver 50 per cent., copper 40 per cent., nickel 6 per cent„ and. zinc 6 per cent.

The British Empire owes much to the energetic knights and nobles whom William,' Duke of. Normandy, took with him on his expedition for the conquest of England. Many of our foremost families from whence have come statesmen, clergymen, law- yers,' bankers and agriculturists of note had their origins so far as Eng- land is concerned, in that surprising- ly well-chosen army of 'invasion. For instance, there was the knight Sir Hugh de Gournr.y, to whom the Conqueror granted estates in Norfolk and Suffolk, the progenitor of the noted family of Gurneys, famous as bankers, philanthropists, and men of science.. Very highly esteemed as a philan- thropist, two centuries ago was Jo- seph Gurney, well known as a Quak- er. Elizabeth Fry, renowned for her Christian labors among women, es- pecially among prisoners, was a mem- ber of the family, as was also the well-nigh equally well-known wife of Sir Thomas Powell Buxton. Sir Goldsworth Gurney, a famous chem- ist, was the discoverer of the oxyhy- drogen light, most powerful of lights before electricity became practicable. A hundred years ago, in 1825, the banking house of the Gurneys in Lon- don was known as "the Banker's banker," and materially helped the kingdom through the financially crit- ical times following the close of the Napoleonic wars. Made into a joint stock company and under inferior management, this establishment failed in 1866 with liabilities of over fifty millons of dollars, A scion of this notable family was the Reverend John Hampden Gurney, son of Sir John Gurney, a well known judge, the author of this and many. other hymns including "Fair Waved i the Golden Corn,' 'Great King I,of Nations, Hear Our Prayer," "Lord, as to Thy Dear Cross We Flee," "We saw Thee 'not when Thou Did'st Corrie," which are found 'in many of the hymnbooks: Mr. Gurney was born in London. in. August, 1802, and after a. few years spent in travel following his school education, went to Cambridge Uni- versity, where he graduated, and was ordained as a Church of ,England clergyman in 1827. For some time he was curate at John Wycliffe's old par- ish of L uttleworth, not for from Bir - ave YouPars ses or CaIIo tramps there Are Your Feet Tired and Painful•,at .Night?

Few clergymen were better known or more highly esteemed, and his par- ish was generally considered to be a model for its close organization and spirituality, He was in great request as a lecturer, and many of his lec- tures were afterwards publi'slned, as were many of his sermons, which were greatly admired by such critical 'friends as the famous Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, and Dean Alford of Canter- bury, He compiled two hymnbooks, and wrote a. good deal upon .hymn- ology. He wrote his : hymns 'in• his mo- ments of relaxation; when they were not composed for special occasions. The one prinfed,here*ith was writ- ten for one of ,the first, if not the very frst of the special Harvest Thanksgiving services held, in Eng- land. Lammas Day; the. first Monday in August, the' ancient British Festival of the First Fruits, had .become a pur- ely secular holiday, as it is today, and the setting apart of , a., special day for thanksgiving -excepting for very exceptional occasion—was not then the rule. Some clergymen in the last century started ihe,good custom of "Harvest Horne' in England, and it was at one of ;these services. where IVIr. Gurney was to be the special preacher that our hymn was first earlier composition. Mr. Gurney died in 1862. The tune Surrey suggested for use with this hymn' was the work of Hen- ry Carey, who died, it was feared, by his own hand, in 1743, and who was a natural son of the Marquis of Hali- fax. He was a well-known musician, reputed to be the author of the tune of our National. Anthem. He wrote many ballads, notably "Sally in Our Alley," and several farces, and is still reckoned among our most noted mus- ical composers.
