Dr. Car- man and Rev, Dr, Potts, were tender. ed a big banquet in the school -room of ' the Metropolitan church, Toronto, on Tuesday, Lith inst. In St, Paul's church, Rev, T. S.

Radford of Bel - more presided. The attendance was encouraging, and several spirited de- bates added interest to the occasion. The discussion on the report on Chtu•eh life and work was especially interesting, and several of the minis- tersav their g e t herr views on special or re- vival services. The need of more earnest and consecrated living among the membership was emphasized. A report on Sabbath schools was read, and will be discussed at the May Meet- ing, in Luekuow. Delegates were elected to attend the General Assem- bly, which meets in June, in Montreal. In the evening a lively, discussion on Church Union was opened by Rev, L. Perrin, and those present expressed their opinions. The Presbytery was divided in opinion on the question, , and it was not thought that organic union was desirable at present. • 1 Advertiser would purchase military land grant in New Ontario; must be located.

The Gorrie Vidette and the Ford wich Record feel very sore because Howick Council declined to accept either of their tenders for the town- ship printing and offered it to the Wingham Advance. Mr. Sharpin, of the Vidette, lays the blame on the Council, and it -blame there is, that is the place to put it. As he does not impugn our motives, or cast any nasty insinuations, nothing need be said in reply. We presume the Council can defend its own action. Me. Watters, however, is not so brave ; he apparently hesitates to at- tack the Council, and lays all the blame on the Advance, and twice in one paragraph accuses the editor of ,Ahis paper of not being "square." This ',alis for a reply, and a few words in self-defence. ' In 1906, members of the Howick Council called on both offices in Wing - ham, asking them to tender for the printing. They did so, and although the tender of the Advance was the lowest (complete), the work went to Mr. Watters at a higher price. No one heard us grumble; rather, we said it was all right to t give git to the home office. This year the Reeve and Depu- ty -reeve called on us and asked the Advance to tender again. We de- clined to do so, and Ieft the matter en- tirely between the Council and the Howick offices. Was there anything "not square" in that? However, the Connell refused all the tenders receiv- ed, and, later, the Reeve waited on the Advance, and in our own officecom- missioned by the Council, neil, he co ntru ct- ed with us for the work at a price agreedon. Was there anything "not square" in that? We think not, and we challenge Mr. Watters to point out where the crookedness lies. Last year Mr., Watters did the work Wr $70, and then sublet part of it. ith our superior facilities we can do it all ourselves, and do not expect to lose money either. Does Mr, Watters refuse work brought to his office? Not likely, Would we be justified in saying he was "not square" if he accepted work offered him? Certainly not. In conclusion, we did not ask for the printing; we did not even tender for it. It was offered us, and we accepted it. We intend to be "square," to do the work well, and use good material. Neither do we expect to have to send part of it to Listowel either. We aro not to blame for any action of Howick Council. If honestly dealing with a customer from :Howick, behind our own counter, is in Mr. Watters opinion "not square," his standard must be too high for this mundane sphere. He should don angelic wings and fly away to some eelesti-al sphere, where wicked Wingham chaps cease from troubling, and where a sorer tried o Eek prin. ter may rest, When Women Stiller Look out for weakness or disease.
