What I did eat canie up as soon as it went clown. [ Life became a burden to me. I was told that I had a cancer in the stomach, and that it would take a. long time o mire me. You can well judge when told; this that I concluded I could not be cured. I began to swell so much and not getting relief I thought my case hopeless. I was advised not to eat anything for two' weeks—this was unneces- sary as I could not eat anyway. I was not in good shape to leave home in cold and stormy weather, but I had confidence in you—knowing so many cases that you 'cured in Orig. neighborhood, among whom are some of my own friends. I got a friend to drive ine to Croderich last November. I could not rest till I was takenthere. I remained five days at the Union hotel, where they treated me kindly and well, till I gpt the flannel harness you made for me fitted on. I was taking your System Renovator. Im- proved all the time, and the first aPplica- Dion of E. A. McLennan's Liniment relieved me greatly. I was free from all pain and eating well the day I left Goderich. I was gaining daily. I continued till I took three bottles of. the Renovator and used two of the Liniment. I felt' that I was cured and well long before I finished this, but was auxious to gain strength and weight, which 1 have. I began to work al- most as soon as I came home.

The sixth annual convention of the Huron Anglican Lay Workers' Association open- ed at Clinton, on Thursday of lat. week. The Bishop of Huron presided, having as- sociated with him , Principal Dymond, Chancellor Cronyn, and Rev. J. Downie. The Rev. Canon Sweeney, of Toronto, also occupied a seat on the platform. A large number of clergymen, laymen and ladies were present. Messrs. McWhinney and fiansford were appointed secretaries. After opening servioes the Bishop gave an address of welcome, setting forth the objects of the meeting to be the development of lay help and of Sunday -school work. The great want of the church in the past, was that she had not used the forces at her com- mand as she should. There was much to be done at home and in the missionary fields. More consecrated laymen and women were wanted for the work. Mr. Thomas Sculle.rd, barrister, of Chat- ham, contributed an excellent paper " The teaching of elder scholars," showing the difficulties in the scholar's way • and point- ing out some very common stumbling blocks that the learner had to encounter. These were, ignorance of the text oi Scripture,and of the manners and customs of the people at Bible times.

Discussion followed, in which Rev.Messrs. Hedley and Downie, and Messrs. Woods, _Harrison, and others took part. Principal Dymond spoke of the testimony borne by the prophets of Christ, and of the necessity for spiritual teaching. He also urged the importance ,of siniple preaching that children could easily comprehend. - The Bishop, in summing up, showed the necessity for exalting Christ in the pulpit, and of using simple language that young and old could understand. The Bishop used many apt illustrations to enforce his words. In the evening divine service vas held in St. Paul's church, the lessons b ink read by two laymen, Professor Harrison, of London, and Mr. Genett, of Brantford. The Bishop preached the sermon in his u ual earnest and eloquent style. • Canada. —A hairpin, imbedded in the stomach of a valuable cow belonging to a farmer near Picton, caused its death. — An unknown woman threatened to thrash the mayor of Galt because he refused , her a railway pass. — The farewell appearance of "Ian Mac- laren" is announced for Monday, November 9th, in Cook's church, Toronto. . — Upwards of $2,900 was received in cash and pledges during the Provincial Sabbath school convention in London last week. . —The Messrs.
