Yours, in Carpets, Brass Beds | Social Attractions Should Not Take Place in Churches During Week of Prayer. i The last "meeting of the week prayer was held in Brock Street | thodist d | evening, the pastor, Rev. John Web- | ster, presiding. | While the meetings helpful to those who attended, Mr. | Webster .. and others deplored the | absence of the children and young | people. Mr. Webster remarked, that he hoped next year counter attrae- tions would be as much as possible Wuspended duribg the week of prayer, land tea meetings and entertainients i should not be inprogress in the base- | ment of the church while a few of the told "cronies" were trying to pray | upstairs, He said the young men of {the Y.M.C.A. should be present at the meetings. | Absence of the children and young { 'of s have been very people at prayer meetings nowadays are apparently not monopolized for the young. Requests for prayer for | defimite persons were asked for at the meeting. tev. J. W, tor of Cooke's church, gave an dress on "Christ in the Home," Mcintosh, the new pas- ad- and inaturally disobedience on the part of thought. The speaker said, though a sad fact to admit, he felt that Christ was absent in mo#t homes, There is madifested a lack of authority, ~ and baturally disobedience on the part of the ch,ldren. The father is God in the eyes of the chiltl, and, is the ex- ample, set on a par with such a position ? We cannot expect. much of the child where the parent does not do his duty. The speaker said the lack of family worship in the homes of to-day are most deplorable, and urged that prayers should be saitl at least once a-day. T. F! Harrison spoke on the sub- ject, 'Christ in the Sabbath School." The speaker said, thought not a pessi- mist in any sense, he believed Christ was not in many schools. He asked, when you consider the fact that eighty per cent. of Sunday school scholars do not join any Christian body, does it look as if Christ was in the schools ? The lack of results was very discour- aging. But perhaps we are looking the wrong way for Christ. The speaker | said the Christian spirit was not mani- fested in the schools as thoroughly as perhaps it should "be. The building and equipment offered by the church to the school was often shameful. The school should have the very best, as it was moulding Christian character. Christ should rhanifest Himself in the person and life of the pastor, the su- perintendent, and the teachers. They should be wise and loving. Mr. Harrison stated that the whole root of the trouble was at home. What. could be. expected of children whose parents are practically opposed to the school, When the church peo- ple give more prayerful thought, sym-' pathy and means, them Christ will Me- owned and church school room, Friday shoemaker, Princess street, on Friday Water Supply Was Children Came From School House Was in Ruins. The fire which broke out in the store occupied by John Green, afternoon, will prove a great loss to him. His place is. simost completely destroyed, and what is left in the line of boots and shoes will not likely be of any use. Mr. Green had insurance on the building' and stock to the amount of about $1,400, but the loss will be a great deal more. The store next door will also sufier a great loss. Water caused the most damage. While the lire was raging next door a num- ber of wen carrietl out the show cases, so they will be ail right, '1he firemen worked on the' building until nearly five o'clock. : lhere is no pleasure for the fire Lri- gade to fight a'fire when the tempera- ture is below zero. The lire had gain- ed good headway, so much so that when the firemen arrived on the scene the flames were shooting out of the front door, and the smoke was uw ful. The firemen not only bad to contend with the fire, but also the cold. 'Lhe firemen bad to 'work on icy ladders with theif cldthds frozen stiff and their hands in about the same state. The men gre very grateful to A. Arthurs, who furnished them with hot drinks during the afternoon. For a while it looked as if the other buildings around were in danger. lhe good water supply shows now that it pays the city {0 have men from the waterworks department go around and test all the hydrants each day in cold weather, Had a fire brok- en out in the city and the hydrants not in working order, great damage would result. The hydrants flowed freely, showing that the waterworks department is_attending to its busi ness. Airs. Green was in the kitchen when the fire broks out, and rushed out into the yard with her baby. When she 1e- turned, the fire was so fierce that she could not get upstairs to get any of the clothes of the children, who had gone to school. When the youngsters arrived batk, they found their home in ruins and all their belongings gone. tie. Collegiate 'Giaduates' "At Home."
