CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CON-
VENTION.
The *tunnel convention of the Y. P, S.
of Maitland Presbytery was held in
Whitechurch, on Tuesday, Sept. 15th.
From far and near the delegates came
and filled the whole church. The Pres-
bytery met on the same day so that
there was also a large atteiidauoe of
ministers. The meeting was opened by
devotional exercises led by Rev. J. F.
Maxwell, vice-presideut, wbo is the ab -
Bence of the presideut took the chair.
Following this was a selection by the
choir, after which the chairman called
upon Rev. W. 3, West, of Bluevale, for
an address ou "The Open Door of the
West." The speaker had spent some
time in the mission work in the West
and could speak forcibly of its needs.
He outlined in detail the distinctive
features of the country, its magnificent
industries, mining, lumbering, farming,
fishing, etc,, with their untold wealth,
its mixed population of many different
nationalities. He drew a vivid picture
of the crime and misery which abound
is the camps where these industries
are carried on, and appealed to the audi-
ence an behalf of the young men from
Bruce from our own fair

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Ontario health officers, in session
at Peterborough, passed a resolution in
favor of military drill iu' the public
hools.
The school savings bank system is now
in practice in 797 schools of 85 cities of
21 States in the United States, and the
scholars of those schools have saved $2,-
138,747, of which $1,616,789 has been
ithdrawn, leaving a balance of $521,966
due little depositors to January 1, 1903.
The Hensall Observer has entered upon
he tenth year of its existence. In not -
ng the fact Brer. Neelands says: "It
eems but yesterday since the paper was
aunched on. the troubled and uncertain
eters of journalism in a village, yet
he venture has weathered the blast and
hough the proprietor is not a millionaire
et !wen that could be accomplished in
til(next 2000 years."
Why Do We Lag Behind?
The following from The Galt Reporter
worth thinking over by the people of
his county:
What other county in Caned 7 has five
was connected by railways?
Waterloo can boast of being the only
runty in Ontario in possession of a rad -
1 railway system.
No other county can show such live,
ourishing towns.
The two great trunk lines of Canada
averse Waterloo and here rates for
ippon and facilities for shipping are
etter than in any inland county in the
rovince,
Bankers and financial men generally
ok upon Waterloo as built upon a rock.
hey know it le filled with solid, energet-
and orderly people. The wealth of
aterloo could spread itself over two or
ree countiesand enough "salvage"
ould remain to stock a few towns.
Why does Huron lag behind in the
atter of railway facilities?
Huron and ,
Outerio who are to -day in the midst of
these cess -pools of vice and have no re-
ligious instruction. The speaker closed
an inspiring address by saying that we
must reach the foreign element to a large
extent through attention to their bodily
wants by sending medical missionaries
among them. The field also appeals to
us because of: -1. Its largeness. 2.
Its possibilities. 3. What has been
done and what ought to be done.
The second paper was ou "Wituessiug
for Christ" by three members of the
Teeswater Society, Miss Mary Sharp,
Miss Aggie Little, Mr. Hugh lfcNaugh-
ton. The papers were brimful of good
things of which we have only space for
a few.
tion from the choir. The President,
Rev. John Ross, of Brussels, was iu the
chair. The Executive committee's re-
port which was read and adopted gave
the following officers for the neat year:
President, Rev. C. M. Rutherford, Dun-
gaunou; Vice -President, Rey. G. M.
Dunn, Whitechurch; Car.-Seoretary,
Rev, J, J. Hastie, Belgrave; Reo.•Seo..
retary, Mr. R. D. Lane, 1?~inlough;
Treasurer, Rev. W. J. West, Bluevale;
Councillors, Messrs. W. E. Gordon, St.
Helens; G. F. Blair, Brussels; Hugh
McNaughton, Teeswater, and Daniel
Martin, Whitechurch.
The first speaker was Rev. J,S.Hardie,
of Listowel. He spelre ou "Our Great
Northwest." As the speaker had travell-
ed the ground for years he was well
qualified to speak ou this subject. He
first congratulated the Presbytery on
taking an interest in a missionary in the
Northwest. He said Home Missions is
the living issue in the Presbyterian
church to -day. In 10 years the East in-
creased 100,000, the West 310,000. On-
tario loses 5 members and the West gains
5 members. The West will some day
be the great controling influence in Can-
adian polities, hence how important it is
that it be well trained.
That the people to be benefitted are
many and varied natioualities is shown
by the fact that the Presbyterian church
supplies the gospel in 15 languages and
14 dialects.
The work is difficult and pressing. A
great deal of it has been laid to the door
of the Presbyterian church and it
is a case of now or never. Tlie church
is able to fulfill her obligations if she
only will. The speaker showed that the
West was doing well to support itself,
in fact was giving $5.9S per church mem-
ber. while Maitland Presbytery only
$3.67. Mr, Hardie reminded his audi-
ence that if each one of the 4691 mem-
bers of this Presbytery gave 40c a year
more for missions they would raise
$1876.40, or euough to support two mis-
sionaries.
The address of Rev. A. B. 'Winchester
which was the closing feature of a de
lighttul and helpful convention was the
grand event of the day. It was an ad-
dress which cannot be put on paper.
His subject was "Missions"but he treat-
ed it in a manner hitherto unheard of
and unknown in this locality. It was
grand, noble, lofty, inspiring, and as the
audience realized that the oratory was
flowing from the lips of a man who had
tasted of the life of which he spoke i t
was thrilled again and again. There
never was in the history of this church
an address which moved the people
so much, and it was a unanimously ex-
pressed conclusion that if this divinely
inspired and eloquently,fervently deliv-
ered appeal failed to stir the hearts of
the people no human power could do it.
£he usual vote of thanks followed
this after which the convention dis-
missed.
CONVENTION NOTES.
The necessity of witnessing for Christ
is shown by the fact that he is still on
trial before the great mass of the world
at large. We should be witnesses of
what He was while on earth. 2.
His claims to our service. 8. What He
did while on earth. We were not eye-
witnesses of this but we believe the
story of His life and shouldn't be asham-
ed to show it. 4. The validity of His
promises. God has given to each one
something He wants told others -the
fact that He can and does save us. The
light of our lives shines according to the
amount of the Holy Spirit we have in
our hearts.
It was natural for the disciples to wit-
ness for Christ because they were filled
with divine enthusiasm. We sometimes
find it difficult to speak but it would he
as difficult to keep quiet if we were fill-
ed. with God's spirit. These disciples
did not wish to be silent Christians.
They did not say the gospel was out of
harmony with the age but they boldly
witnessed for Christ. This was natural
because of their great admiration for
Him.
Our duty of witnessing for Christ is
so obvious that it needs no argument.
God does not need onr feeble help,honco
we should regard it as a blessed privi-
lege. Our talents may be small but
even then we are given many opportuni-
ties to show to the world that we have
been with Jesus. We should take the
advice given by David to Solomen. "Be
strong therefore and show thyself a
man." We should do the right, not the
profitable or the pleasant, or that which
leads to earthly honor. Any duty well
done is not waste time. This was shown
by Christ as he worked in the carpenter
shop in Nazarith. His work was always
great because it was given to him by
God. It is the same with us.
After singing and discussion Rev. C.
M. Rutherford, of Dungannon, gave his
views of an "Ideal Younfi P eople's
Meeting." He dwelt for a moment on
the importance of young people and,said
his object was to answer the question.
"What kind of society will make the
best. Christians of them." His plan for
the meeting was something as follows:
1st. Have someone to preside. For
this position he thought it better to have
a young man.
tad. Have an organist. Not the
church organist but someone else, have
a new one every month if possible.
3rd. Have a Bible Reading in which
all read together.
4th. Have an essay on a subject and
let the person know in plenty of time,
say six months ahead, that he or she was
to give this essay. Let the pastor give
three or four members each a thought
during the week to be worked out and
given extemporaneously at the meeting.
5th, The Lesson for the evening.
This should always be taken by the
pastor as he has a message for his young
people that none else can give.
Oth. The catechism --in charge of one
of the elders, The pastor then criticizes
the elder and this starts a discussion,
7th. Asking and answering questions.
After Mr. Rntherford'e address the
corresponding Secretary's report was
given by Rev. J.J. Hastie and en motion
adopted. It reported a total of 14
Societies with a membership of (1G7, 430
of whom are church members. The
Presbytery last year raised $237 of mil-
si)nary money, an increase of $206 over
the precious year.
The evening scallion opened by a selec-

t.ive Stock Markets.
'Toronto, Sept, 15. --The run at the
pity cattle market to -day comprised, all
told, 62 loads, consisting of 838 head of
cattle, 1,551 sheep and lambs, 519 hogs
and 38 calves. Basiuess was fair all
round, though a better alms of cattle,
were wanted, all would have brought
better prices. This applies particularly
to export cattle, comparatively few in
this class offering, and none of first
class offering, and none of first class
quality. There were plenty of enquiries
for good catty. There was a fairly
good market at the Union Stock Yards,
Toronto Junction, yesterday,and to -day.
Thirty-four car -loads of Sunday arrivals
changed hands yesterday, the prices be-
ing practically same as at the close of
last week's market. Butchers' cattle
maintained a stiff price,aud were slightly
higher than last week, while there was
a noticeable drop in the price of export-
ers. The quality of cattle to -day was
fairly good, and the stook was all quick-
ly disposed of.
There were 95 carloads handled since
Sunday, the number of cattle being 1,-
895, sheep 310, hogs 80 and 15 calves.

The delegates and friends were enter-
tained to tea after the afternoon session.
The grace of hospitality is still abun-
dantly prosperous in Whitechurch.
Teeswater Society should feel proud
of there members who were on the
program.
A great deal of the success of the con-
vention was due to the hard work of
Rev. G. M. Dann and his managers.
The music by the Wingham Choir,
led. by Prof. Cline added very much to
the enjoyment of the whole day.. This
in itself was a rare treat.

Fruit Growers and Shippers.
The Fruit Division of the Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa, has recently
issued two timely bulletins, copies of
which have been received at this office.
The first is entitled "Export Apple
Trade" and in a large measure a review
of the generally accepted principles
which form the broad basis of success
in the growing and exporting of Cana-
dian apples for European markets. The
bulletin deals in the most concise and
practical manner with such subjects as,
varieties to plant, care sof the orchard,
selling the crop, picking, grading, pack-
ing, the package, handling, shipping and
storage. The other bulletin, as its
name implies, deals in a similar way
with the igrowing and marketing of
pears. Each bulletin also containa the
text of the Fruit Marks Act in its
amended form, and explantory notes for
inspectors, growers, ownees and packers
of fruit. Everyone interested iu the
fruit business should write Mr. W. A.
MacKinnon, chief of the Fruit Division,
Ottawa, for copies of these bulletins,
which will sent free to any address.
Letters addressed as above do not re-
quire postage.
The Times and Weekly Globo sent to
any address until January 1st, 1904 for
35 cents.
