The redistribution committee of the House at Commons bald two sessions ou Fri,d y last, and succeeded in arriviug at a decision iu reference to all the counties of Ontario with the exception of Lauark and Hastings. The leader of of the Opposition has, however, in a few instances, reserved the right to move ameudmeuts when the bill conies before the House. Toronto is divided into five constinumeies, each sending a member. The eity of Hamilton is also divided into two constituencies instead of electing; two members at largo, Ottawa being the only constituency in Outarie which ac- cording to the present arrangement, will return two members, and special reasons were on Thursday advanced by the re- presentatives of that city why a division should not be made in that case. The division of the Provinces of Manitoba and Quebec remains to be arranged, but it is understood that au arrangement has been made by which the task will be ac- complished amicably and expeditiously. We give below the ridings in Huron, Perth and Brace as they will be under the new redistribution: The only change in East Heron is that East Wawauosh is taken from West Huron and put in East Huron. The municipalities that were taken froxn South Huron and put into South Perth and North Middlesex under the gerrymander of 1882 are now brought back to South Huron. Ou the Perch's, North Easthope is brought back from North Oxford and put in North i.. -- X Notice of changes most be left at this office not later than Saturday noon.

In the middle ages the Gospel was dethroned and cast down, But God iuterfered, the Reformation took place, 'mei from that hour Popish allegiance was thrown off, and the pure gospel of Jesus Christ resumed its sway. The speaker express- ed his conviction that there is not at the present time amongst those who call themselves Protestants a just appreoia- tion of the enormous privileges, which were fully iissurred and couflrmed to us by the decisive victory of the 12th of July, 1090. Some would say that we should not celebrate the day; that Ro- man Catholics should not be insulted by such public demonstrations, This I deify, said the speaker; each displays are. not inteaded, as an iusult; Roman Catholics are benefited by the vic- tory of 12th July. They,now enjoy bless- ings whioh would have been unknown to them had William never vanquish- ed James at the Boyue. True Orange- men have no hatred whatever towards Roman Catholics. There is nothing in their obligation or principles that would lead then to oppress or persecute their It. C. brethren. The reverend gentle- men then referring to the pages of his- tory, gave reasons why the Protestant religion should be upheld and maintain- ed, and concluded with au earnest exhor- tation to the brethren to livo up to what the Coustitution of the Orange order requires. Ou re -assembling at the hall, a resolu- tion was passed expressing the thanks of the members for the very efficient ser- mon. i e 1 1 a ESTABLISHED is72. TE WIN IIA 1 TIMES. ta. R. ELLIOTT, PIIBLisi1ER AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1903. Of a family to make a. small weekly sac- rifice from his wanes to ensure the pri- vileges whioh our Society affords, It is the duty of the clergy to give their warmest support to such institutions Oar society is founded on Christian principles, and when we consider the so- lemnity of our iustitution. we should re- member that the members should regard themselves as bound to each other by the ties of a holy fellowship 'While you are careful and provident in things per- tatting to this life, are you equally so in those wliicti relate to the hie to come? These latter are, after all, the things of most importance. InproP4rtion as everg member of our Society acknowledges God's claiwg and honors God, will our society prosper, Let ns all remember that the nearer we get to the Great World's Centro, the Lord Jesus Christ, the nearer we get to each other. When. there is discord or bitter feeling, you can trace it all to its original cause, the members are not living in eommenion with Christ. In oouclusion, Rey. Mr, Lowe heartily thanked the members for the privilege of addressing them. At the close of the service the mem- bers returned to the hall,where a cordial vote of thanks was tendered the minist- er, for the very able and appropriate dis- course ;.the church wardens for their kindness in planing the church at the disposal of the Court, and to the choir for the very efficient music•rendered. A number of visiting brethren also spoke in complimentary terms of tho service whioh they had enjoyed. Perth and South Easthope is taken from North Oxford and put in ,South Perth, where it rightly belongs. Wallace township is taken from North Welling- ton and placed in its proper place in North Perth.

The prition of Mr. Blair is apparently connect- ati with the Goveruments's decision to la±iild another Government line from TI:oncton to Quebec. He seemingly mikes the view that such a policy will met be beneficial to the Intercolonial, Dstiich it has been his special pride and haabition to build up and extend. Being reit of harmony with the majority of $2's colleagues, Mr. Blair doubtless felt tatere was only one course open to hien. "The municipal enterprises of the town l Oriliia, Ont., have beenrecently much Wimmented upon, the town having op - in ited its own waterworks since 1883, sulci its own electric lighting plant since tht37.

Par On Sunday afternoon at 3.45 o'clock a large number of the members of Court Maitland, No. 25, C. 0. F., together with visiting brethren, attended St. Paul's churoh in a body, A special form of service had been printed for use in the church, and the service throughout could not but prove a benefit to those who attended. Taking as the basis of his remarks the words found in the 1st verse of the 15th chapter of Romans, "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves," the rentor, Rev. Wm. Lowe, delivered a very earnest and prac- tical sermon, of which we have space for only a synopsis. The words of the text teach us that God has established a principle of universal dependence. One peculiarity of the Christian religion is that it inculcates regard to the feelings and circumstances of others. My breth- ren of the C. 0. F., said the speaker, your name is pleasantly suggestive. It seems to say that, like the trees of the forest, you stand together. • There is a function in the economy of a tree which every member must perform. If any part should refuse to exercise its func- tion and to bear the burdens of the others itself must pass away. "The branch cannot bear fruit of itself." When it formed part of' the tree it shared the glory and the freshness of its life and all its bloom and beauty, bat when it re- fused to bear the burden of others, nei- ther -could it bear its own. The same principle which is thus exemplified in the true is seen also in the human frame. ,While each individual member has its part to play, its harden to bear, there is a life of the organic structure to which it must contribute. The members are not independent of each other, but link- ed together and mutual and helpful. In these and many other instances we see the law of Christ exemplified. That law declares and teaches ns to realize that we are not indiyiduals living in the sel- fish isolation of our own interests, but are members of that great family of which part is in heaven and part upon earth. God requires that the strong shall help the weak, the joyful to glad- den the sad, and the youth to be the pil- Iar upon which age may rest. This law was recognized by the infant church, in that they sold their possessions, and goods and parted them to all men, as every man had need. The early Christ- ian,Church was the first friendly society of which we read, and the feeling which actuated those early Christians, viz., brotherly love is the same which is the vital principle of onr own beloved asso- ciation now. Consider the similarity which exists between our Society and the original institnti.nn. Brotherly love is the foundation of both. We have seen that this affection exhibited itself in the unreserved generosity of the early Christians, and is not brotherly love the bond of onion in this great society of ours? There are those who would ans- wer xa o to this question. Yon are a mutual assurance society," they say; "every member complying with certain conditions is entitled to certain benefit." True, but this is not alt. Some courts are in the habit of making considerable grants Out of their funds to members in was of pecetliar distress, by which many effectually emancipating us from most have received needed assistance beyond fearful civil, ecclesiastical and spiritual what what they could claim. Another dut Way in which the real existence of oro- et�nstlookism tto Him aloe b he world has ever whom Bat fleetly love is manifested is the nnmur- y monarch was raised up, and by: whom muting and ungrudging spirit of those alone he accomplished all the good that who have been paying for years their he did. The speaker outlined the bond- quota to the funds, but have never re - age ander which our forefathers groan- ceived anything out of them, and re- ed before and during the period of the joked that what they' had not required Reformation.

It is announced that the floating debt on the St. James Methodist church had been reduced from $175,000 to $3,000, and the bh,nket mortgage on the Temple building from $450,000 to $50,000, all of which will be wiped off shortly. The jubilee of the establishment of a Presbyterian congregation in Kincardine and the semi -jubilee of Dr. Murray's pastorate was celebrated on Sunday last. Rev. Dr. Johnston, of London preached special sermons on the occasion. On Sunday Crossley and Hunter com- pleted the ninteenth year of their work together as evangelists. In that time they have hold 210 series of services in Canada and the United States, and it is said that about 100,000 people have pro- fessed conversion under them. Rev- Wm Lowe, Rector of' St. Paul's Church, Delivers Appropriate Sermons to Orangemen and Canadian Foresters. On Sunday morning last the members of the local ledge of Orangemen and visiting brethren, to the number of over one hundred, attended divine service in St. Paul's church, where the rector,Rev. Wm. Lowe, preached a practical and appropriate sermon. Rev. Mr. Lowe chose as his text the words found in Exodus 12: 14 -"This day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an. ordinance forever." When God, my brethren, said the speaker, delivered Israel from the bondage of Pharaoh, He gave the command Contained in the text. That command has been kept and ob- served by God's ancient people. When we turn to that page of English history which speaks to us of the happy deliver- ance of our forefathers from the bondage of Roman tyranny, he felt confident that God wonidhave as ever to commemorate that deliverance. No one who believes in the inspired word of God can doubt that the great event which we commem- orate to -day was wrought by God. Ile reminded the brethren that they were assembled to express hearty thanks to iGod for raising up the immortal William, Prince of Orange.
