-One standard of morals for both
male and female" was the sentiment of
an address given to young people by
Mr Crossley on Friday evening.
Messrs Crossley and Hunter visited
Thursday and
' efn e
last rho a
sot R
the Hou Y
8 g
held a service with the old people. They
were more than delighted with the
home and s.
the never visited a Sim-
ilar institution, that was better kept.
Mr and Mrs French are certainly in
their right place.
The meetings have been largely at-
tended during the week,
so much so
f
' his here has not even
that some nig
been standing room; Tuesday night,,
notwithstanding the downpour of rain,
saw Willis church tilted. Many anxi-
ous inquirershave presented themselves
for salvation, and the interest is deep-
ening. Those who expect to hear these
brethren in their masterly and convin-
cing presentation of truth, must conte
to the services early, and mast attend
soon, as they will only be here for a
short time.
There has never before been an aud-
ience in the town hall like the one that
gathered theie on Sunday afternoon,
It was composed entirely of the male
sex, and was packed from platform to
landing. The address of Mr Hunter
was one that could have been given in
any mixed audience, but that of lir
('I ossley was for men only,and in very
plain terms lie dealt with three forms
of prevailing sin. It was the opinion of
many competent to judge, that the ad-
dress was a masterly and timely one,
without the slightest impropriety.
On Sunday morning next Mr Hunter
will preach in Willis Presbyterian
church,and Mr Crossley in the Ontario
St. Methodist, Rev, Mr Stewart will
preach in Rattenbury St, church, and
Rev. Mr Clement in the Baptist
church. In the afternoon a meet-
ing for men only will be held in
the town hall at 3.30. In the evening
"double-headers" will be held in Rat-
tenbury St. church and the Presbyter-
ian
ter-
ian church, to he addressed in both
churches by both evangelists, and the
services in Ontario St. church and the
Baptist church will be withdrawn for
the evening. The meetings during the
week will be held in Rattenbury St.
chureb.

A Scotehman's View of a Aero.
(To the Editor of the Nnw EnA.)
SIR, Wbile in Scotland recently and
seated in th9 Empire Music Hall, in Glas•
gow, I noticed Piper Findlater was hissed
by some in the audience. Being a visitor
from this side of the Atlantio, seeking for
information, I turned to my next neighbor,
a remarkably stolid -looking specimen of
the genus Soot, and said to him, "Why do
they hiss him?" He ro p,lied, "Beoadae
they don't want him." "But," a id I, "he
is a hero, is he not "whet "whet did he ever

and then eat down." "Couldna help it,"
he answered. "But," I urged, in extenua-
tion of the hero idea, "he went on playing
the pipes," "Recond nature," said he. I
stared in blank astonishment at this view
of the whole affair, when my friend, obser-
ving my look, said : ,,I'll jest tell ye. This
man did nothing unusual ! Take the first
tan Highland pipers you meet with. btart
them playing; shoot them through both
legs; down they'll sit, and keep on playing."
Thus did a practical Soot shiver in a few
words the glamour surrounding the hero of
Dargai. Hitherto, we on this Side had
thought it grand to think of a man shot
through both legs sitting down and keeping
up the tune. I now See to the Scotch mind,
at any rate, it was but a natural sequence
of events I Yours,

The Stavely Hall
To the Editor of the New Era.
Six -Now that the Stavely building is
approaching completion, and its appearance
can be properly judged, I think the wisdom
of the committee in selecting 'this' site is
more than ever apparent, and for their dis-
interested work in connection with this
building should receive the thanks of the
ratepayers. Yours, A CITIZEN,

Sin -Occasionally something is seen worth
reading in the Newe Record. Under the
above heading "Ratepayer" mentions cer-
tain names that commend themdelveg to
him as suitable persons for the once of
Mayor of the town. But his list is small;
it is incomplete! What about such names

STRONG COMPLAINTS. -The people in
this vicinity are making very strong
verbal protests against the delay in
connection with the bridge. It was to
have been started in June and com-
pleted by the 15th of Sept. It was not
started until August, and goodness
only knows when it will be completed.
The hill is now almost impassable for
horses, and it is really too t.ad that
some one, whose duty it is to look af.
ter the matter, does not see that the
work is more rapidly pushed forward,
