itinerant preachers and 57.031 members,
This leads a total of 184,549 :nembers
the year before Wesley's decease. In

churches, and the federation of those
clubs into a league, is a movement
which promisee to have a good influence
pn Canadian youth, 'Phe boys are under
gocd auspices, and the healthy rivalry
excited by the league debates erimuletes
1) study. Moreover, many of our best
ppeakers got their facility in expressing
their thoughts in just such clubs. It is
a good way to help to develop the boys,
and if from these clubs only two or
three fine speakers are Rent out let no-
body think that ie all the gain. 'there
isnot one of the active members whose
papecity to think is not enlarged, or
W11080 perceptives are not sharpened,
It has been well said that the great
lack of the des is thought, and when so
many short-sighted people are crying
out for the extinction of culture in our
educational syetetlr and the substitution
of 'what they choose to call " bread and
butter" subjects, itis pleasant to find a
movement like these unions have begun
to develop the higher side of the young
]nen. Success to them.
—From last week's Goderich Star we
take the following account of the death
of a sister of Mrs, James Sims: "On

beloved wife of Mr, John Stewart, of
Goderich township, passed to the world
beyond after a .bort illness from an
attaekof pneumonia. She wasa daugh-
ter of ex -Reeve Graham, of Stanley,
and had hosts of friends in the two
townships, by whom she will be much
missed, as she was of an exceedingly
loveable disposition. Until the sickness
that ended in death the deceased lady
was in good health, and her almost
Budden demiee wait a sorrowful surprise
to the residents of the Bayfield litre.
Besides her husband„ she learee to
mourn her two eons, aged 12 and eight
restsetively, a bahy 11 months old, and
many relatives. The funeral took place
on Monday from the family reeidence,
the old Stonehouse farm, to Stanley
cemetery, Rev. A. Stewart, of Clinton,
being the officiating minister, and six
neighbors the pallbearers. The deceas-
ed's casket was almost hidden by the
many beautiful floral eine leme placed
on it by relatives and friends. The

large, 90 carriages being in the proces-
sion when it amassed the line between
the townships. bfany relatives and
friends from a distance were present
among them being her cousins, Mr. and
Mrs. Charlie Tweedy, of Goderich."

Here's a puzzle that puzzles everybody.
Take the number of your living broth-

number of living sisters, multiply the
result by ten, add to it the number of

time will be the number of deaths, the
middle figure the number of living sis-
ters, and the left figure the number of
living brothers,

Huron farmers' institute was held at
the beautiful home of Mr. R. M. Young,
