included among those upon whom eves
reposed the duty of furnishing the pro-
gramme. Mr. Vanatter has been the
right hand man of the McGillicuddy

of the petty annoyances of the office
off the Editor's shoulders.

gether with his gnod wife he spent

state and is right glad to he back again
in this old town which is so rich in
recollections to him. He was the
second resident of Clinton, he tells us,
even preceding that widely -known
pioneer,the late WinrRattenn tn•
f generousnam memory. Mrs. Cole is
now spending a few mouths with mem-
bers of her family in Dakota.
Among the departures for Manitoba
on Tuesday was Mr. Allan Cole who
was on hie way to- join�his brother
William at Hilton. Mr. Cole is yet a
young man, but has been partial-
ly paralyzed for some twelve
years as a result of an accident at a
barn raising in the township of Hal-
lett. He has since then been almost
helpless and can only move about
in an invalid's chair. He has a ruddy,
cheerful countenance and tastes life's
happenings' with greater equanimity
than many a man able to move about
with God-given freedom. But for all
Chit itfilvas rathera sad eight to see his
chair lilted by the train battle and roll-
ed into' the baggage car where he will
spend the wearisome three days which
must elapse before arriving at his des-
tination.

Lecture on Mission Fields.
The London Free Press says :-"At
Uornyn Hall last night Rev. T. 13.
Westgate e0tertained . a fait' -shed
audience with descriptive views of
various mission fields. The views were
thrown npon canvas with the aid of
a magic lantern, niptl wort! very good.
Rev. Canon Slnith presided, Mr.
Westgate is it graduate of Huron, Col-
lege, and goes to the foreign field
under the Huron Auxiliary of the
Canadian (Church Missionary Associa-
tion. He desires to go to the c'entr'e
of South America, and is (iceeyply inter-
ested fn his work. The meeting im-
pressed upon triose present the im-
mense responsibility which rests upon
Christians, in view of their Lord's COM -
Waal (1, "Go ye into all the world and
preach the Gospel to 'very creature.'
The views preeente(1 had to do with a
recent trip male around the world.
In the dark continent pretty churches
were shown erected upon the very
places where once human sacrifices
had been offered to the evil spirit. In
Persia the sight of hospitals maintain-
ed by the Mess' .:. Society told of
the good work beieg done by the medi-
cal missionaries. In South China,
where three years ago eight mission-
aries were cruelly massacred, now the
people are showing a reuhtrkeble
readiness to attend Christian services
and receive Christian teaching. In
Japan, notwithstanding the vigorous
opposition of .Buddhists, Christianity
is steadily widening its sphere. In our
own North-west several views were
shown disclosing the quiet progress
which is being made in mission work
among the Indians. The meeting
throughout was very interesting."
Itev. Mr. Westgate will deliver the
above lecture and exhibit his lime
light views in St. Paul's S.S. Room on
Wednesday, 23rd inst. All at'e wel-
come. Collection to defray expenses.
