Laymen's Association Presi- dent Wants Temperance Vote Registered Irrespec- tive of Party Leanings Laymnen of the Bay of Quinte Conference will by resolution make their stand on tbe liquor question on Tbursday afternoon it was de- cided at a laynien's gathering in St. Paul's Churcb an Wednesday a! ter- faon. President C. A. Winters, Brock- ville, was in the chair and was the main speaker on the subject of "The Present Liquor Situation." If I bad mY way I would delete the word prohibition f rom aour or- ganization narne, Mr. Winters said. nat because it is unnecessary but because the very use of the word seerns ta make it a political football. Tbe trouble with tbe present situ- ation and tbe reason wby temper- ance people are making no beadway 15 because aur advocates place party before principle in their vote on the one hand, and the strang action o! tbe liquor interests an the otber. We must be thankful that botb par- ties are standing f ast on the subJect of liquar and not entertaining the beer and wine by the glass praject. We are ail agreed, be added, that too much money is being spent an liquor. Following tbe address a healthy discussion took place and the resuits wiil be embodied in tbe resalution brougbt forward today. .The other speaker at tbis session was James Acton of Toronto wbo spoke on the Canadian Prayer League. tracing its origin and tell- lng of the splendid work it was ac- compiishing. It was an interdenom- Inational organization wbicb stress- ed the value a! intimate contacts witb Ciod each day. The movement was spreading ahl over tbe Domin- Ion and he urged laymen ta start groups in their own churches. The original graup, he stated. was com.- posed o! Presbyterians, Anglicans, Baptists and United Cburcb people, and when tbey had met together there had neyer been anythlng con- troversial, such was the effect of the Prayer League. At the present tirne some 40 churcbes in Toronto have prayer groups. Al that the or- ganization asks is that people will endeavour ta spend 15 minutes each day in prayer. While the laymen's meeting was in progress the ministeriai delegates lstened ta Rev. J. R. P. Sclater. D.D.. give an address an "Haw i prepare my sermons," whicb praved of great lnterest. Rev. J. O.
