Splendid Exhibits of Live Stock and Fancy Work. e RE CE About 350 delegates from all parts of Canada are attending the quadrennial general general conference of the Methodist Church which opened in Dominion Church, Ottawa, Ottawa, Wednesday Sept. 23. The leader of His Majesty's loyal opposition opposition in the Dominion parliament, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, with Hon. Martin Burrell, minister of agriculture, and Mayor Mayor Me Veit v, joined in welcoming delegates delegates to Ottawa. Mr. Burrill congratulated congratulated the Methodist church on its genius i for preparing citizens for the other world. I He said in doing that the church can't help producing good citizens for this ,oud applause greeted Sir Wilfrid Laurier as he rose to speak. "I regret that the Prime Minister cannot be here to have the same privilege I have myself", he said. "The Prime Minister is a very busy man, and I have the advantage that I can sit by and do nothing. I am keeping keeping silent in a good cause which is^the reverse reverse of what I do usually." Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man in the light of the presept world-struggle. He repeated repeated with pride the sentiments which Mr. Burrill had uttered--that the Empire was not the aggressor. "Our duty now as Canadians is to help the Mother Country with our last man and our last dollar, if need be. She was the last country to go to war, but the sword is not to be put back into the scabbard, until this imperial bully is taught that the "scrap of paper" was a solemn compact entered into by the King and the whole Empire." The singing of "O Canada" in English followed Sir Wilfrid Laurier s speech. The leader of His Majesty's loyal opposition opposition in the Ontario legislature N. W, i Rowell, K.C., one of the leading ists in Canad., replied to tl,e welcome. ... Mayor Hocken, of Toronto, a distinguished distinguished Methodist, spoke of the value of the Methodist Church for young people, and said no movement was so potent good as the Methodist class meeting. Rev. Dr. Carman in his stirring address 1 reply, marvelled that the German sledge hammer had got more power than British common sense, because it took the Method address of Bowmanville Fair has steadily grown from year to year and considering that rain fell heavily Tuesday evening and nearly all day Wednesday the atténdance was good, and the exhibits up to and in some classes better than ever before.

West Durham is famous for its live stock and judging from the animals shown in all classes from the Draft horses down to the poultry all were an honor to the county and the exhibitors exhibitors who owned them.

Bland, of Edmonton, as one which for nobility and power^ had never been surpassed àt ■ any Methodist conference. ' , , In the last four years there has been an increase bf 28,901 in the membership of the church, the total membeiship being 368,412, with the number of ministers at 2,069) and number of probationers 776. There are 3839 Sunday Schools in the Dominion with a membership of 409,632, an increase of 7 5,648 in the quadrenmum, with an increase of 161 in the number 01 schools. The Sunday School force totals 439,037, which includes those attending union schools; increase $1,637- The number number who have signed the pledge from 1910 to 1914 was 127,273- Nearly $1,000,000 was raised in the four years for Sunday School purposes, the actual amount being $961,064; for missionary work $209,836; for all purposes $1,462,428. A new hymn book is being prepared. The new book contains one-third fewer hymns and one-third more tunes. After Dr. Rose's address "Nearer, my God, to Thee" and "Jesus, Lover of my Soul were sung to tunes that had never before been used in Methodist churches. Mr. J. W. Flavelle, of Toronto, speaking speaking on salaries of ministers, said there are not much worse paid positions. The low wages paid to many pastors is not the worst feature; it is the irregularity with which they are paid. Many Methodist preachers are working in the country districts at such a low scale of pay that they cannot afford to buy overcoats, underwear underwear and other necessaries- There was $129,000 less paid in Methodist pas tor's salaries up till two years ago than the general conference prescribed. Mrs. Ellen Wylie, county president of the Women's Christian Temperance Um ion, brought greetings from the . W.C.T.U. members. She repeated the slogan "Abolish the Bar" and said the W.C.T.U. was in no way discouraged. "We do not know what defeat means, but there has come to us a renewed conviction conviction of the admonition in the old book )ur trust in princes, nor the sons of men, in whom there is no help. Two remarkable men present are Rev Dr. Carman and Rev. Dr. to The former is a young man of Si, witn as much vigor às he had when he was 60 yëars younger. He is the head of t church, "the bishop" tho he is not known by that name. Rev. Dr. Briggs, head of the Methodist Book and Publishing House, has been, and is still, the administrator of all the literature and books that the church publishes, and their name is legiprj He was the founder of this concern which will soon be in a new $95°»6oo building in Toronto. Atthe age of 78 he finds himself himself with as much energy as he ever hacu He is an Irishman with a fund of 1rish wit and when he rises_to speak the delegates delegates know that that they are going to get a treat. . . . . .

Chown, who is joint chairman of the Conference, is a magnificent magnificent specimen of physical manhood, a man of tact and moderation, indefatigable in all that pertains to the_welfare of the church.

Bowmanville did nobly in having 40 men volunteer for overseas service which was Canary, four times as many men as this town was entitled to send. ; " . The military review at Taylor's Rink Friday night with its 150 privates, cadets and officers clearly demonstrated the fact that when the call is sent out for men for the next contingent the 46th Regiment will again be well represented, as the local companies are already recruited to nearly full - strength. In the- absence of Col R. W. Smart and Col. John Hughes the men were inspected by Senior Major Wm. Farrell and Major W. C. King, Paymaster, Paymaster, 46th Regt, and 1Brigade-Major A. E.
