The Students' Missionary confer. ence opened on Friday afternoon, at two o'clock, with a reception and 'luncheon in Grant hall. The college caterers, Messr®.

Grant Hall was well filled for the public meeting of the sudents' mis- sionary conference, held on Friday evening. Dean Coleman presidad, and the devotional exercises were conducted by Dr. Charles A. Web- ster, of Syria. . . W. G.

E. Corbett, B.A. of the Y. M. iC. A., McGill university, replied to {the address of welcome, on bebalt {of the delegates, after which an ad- |journment was 'made to Convoca- ition 'hall, where the sessions of the conference were formally opened. Dean Coleman fntroduced Rev. S. J. M. Compton, pastor of St. drew's church, who took charge ot the service. After the sfiging of a hymn, Rev. Mr. Compton offered prayer and gave the Scriptural read, ing. i Be ell EN Rev. Mr. Compton also addressed the conference on missionary work. He realized that this hour was the most important of the whole confer: ence. He realized also just how im- portant it was for him to give the delegates the right kéynote at the start off. The one thought should be of the risen Christ, and the winning of souls for Him, The one supreme thought of each one attending the conference should be that his life be consecrated to the work of God, Had we awakened to the fact that there was a living Christ Christ had the desire in His heart that all should work for His kingdom. The many opportunities for missioNary work at home and abroad would come before the delegates. They would think just 'how wonderful it would be to have India and China won for Christ. Could we listen to the calls as they 'were presented, and not respond? "The world's needs cannot be met by anybody. The world's needs ean 9 only be met by the men and women who are prepared. 1 believe there is more harm done by people who want to be busy, but who have no definite plan." And what kind of missionaries aro we to have? The only missionaries we can have are those called by Christ, « The speaker's address was a most inspiring one, and was listened to with keen interest throughout. The afternoon session lasted but an hour, an adjournment being made at four o'clock, to give the registration and billeting committees time to do their werk. The following appeared on banners which decorated the, platform at con vocation hall : 5 "The resources of God are promis=d only to those who undertake the pro- gramme of God."

In his opening remarks, he point. ed out that he commenced to preach the gospel Just about Ube time the great missionary, . Dr. Livingstone died, and gome time before the Sal- vation Army came 'into existence. He wished to speak about the change or the enlargement of the missionary idea im his time. There were people who criticized Dr. Liv ingstone, and thought that it would have heen better if he had not gone #0 far in his exploration, but ednfin: ed himself more to preaching the gospel, Livingstone was right, in following his own course the way he did, bringing in medical science and the enlargement of the mission ary field. Missionary meetings in the olden days, attraot- ed a larger attendance than in the present day. There was an elemen. df curiosity and sensation which held full sway, It was a strange thing to see a missionary, and to see ddols and other things brought from far-off lands. The preaching from the. pulpit was far different from that of to-day, . in that it was more' largely to the ine dividual soul. There was a strong ine There was not a sufficient appeal to the soul of each hearer, showing his responsibility in the sight of God. Nowadays, we hear it more about. the future, and just what it held out for the wilful sinner, who would not rye pent. In the olden days everything was made clear and definite." The speaker had read just. recently, in a religious paper, a statement to the effect that social work commenced with the Salvation Army. From the standpoint of British history, this statement was absurb. 'The speaker knew this for a fact. He did not wish to reflect upon the work of the Salva- tion Army as it was doing splendid work. It had been stated that the 19th century was one for foreign missions; he would say that it was for hone missions as well. We could not seper- ate between the two.

At the Aesculapian society meeting, Friday, the executive t committee regret at the recent street trouble, and give their assurance that all would be 'ence to the enlargement of the mis- done to punish offenders, and at the! same time warn all medical students from participating in such rough work {in the city streets or public places. It is needless to. say that the report was adopted unanimously, and a copy will be sent to the Senate and Journal. The society wi * faculty debates, but will shortly have some papers by the students, read at the meetings.

Last year this sum was greatly ex- ceeded, and the consequence was that | the society at the end of the year was badly in debt. This year every effort will be made to prevent a re-occurance of this state of affairs. The "game of the season" amongst the niedical students, was played by medicine '15 vs. médicine "17, on the Union street campus. This game meant the decision of the Dean's Cup series, and both teams worked their hardest to win, but the result was a tie, 5-5. Davidson, a formér science man, now in medicine '17, played gn exceptionally good game, making sev- éral sensational dashes down the field, , while Sweeney did some good kicking. For the juniors, Hagyard, a man who should be out with the first team, way up to his usual form in kicking. The trick playing of the freshmen was a {good exhibition of what this method of playing will do against superior weight. The line up was: '15--Hagyard, Burwell, Murray, Filson, Whytock, Edwards, - Trues dale, Grace, Donovan, Millan, Leeds, Brown, Williams, McKinnon. | '17--Davidson, Black, Rust, Kear sey, Hagyard, Heffner, Page, Slee man, Wade, Sweeney, ..Robinson, Corbett, Rutledge, Woodside. These teams will have to play an- other game, The Naturalists' Club at Queen's has secured Dr. H. T. Gussom, do- mindon botgnist, to lecture cn ""Beonomic pects of Plant Dis- eases." This is a subject that at present is of great interest to people of this locality on account of the recent ravapés amongst po- tatoes and fruits by disease. The lecture is free and will be held in the biology lecture room, the even- ing of Nov. 17th. Notes From Science Hall Things are very quiet in Science perhaps on account of the calm be- fore the storm as the Vigilance com- mittee held a meeting on Friday af- ternoon.

H. Mather, ou {| Syracuse, N.Y., the city's consulting' engineer, and Prof. A. K. Kirkpat- rick, representing the street railway, 'company, with regard to the kind ot , block that should be used between the tracks and eighteen inches out- 'side of them on Princess street. The street railway company is determin- ed on the wood block, while Mr. Mather will not recommend this to the city. Fen days ago, at a conference be- tween a sub-committee of the Board of Works and street railway frepre- sentatives, wood block was agreed .upon. When Mr. Mather was told of the conference and its decision, +he informed AM. Fair, chairman of the Board of Works, that he would not be responsible for the track construction, if wood. block was used, as he claimed it would not {hold when a T Fail was used. He , wants vitrified brick. Now, the Board of Works upholds its consult- ing engineer, who was engaged to "assist City Engineer MeC! lland in preparing the plans and specifica- tions for the street railway roadbed. | Thus the decision will rest with 'the chief engineer of construction of the Montreal Tramways company, wlio may advise that granite block | be used, , instead of wood blocks oF vitrified brick. Granite would be much more expensive than the other two materials. ILS OF CAILDHOOD. Every mother should be able to re 'cognize the symptoms of the little ailments that attack her children.' She should also be in a position . to treat them properly. To do this she {should keep a supply of Baby's Own {l'ablets in the house at all times. The Tablets never fail to he of help to little ones. Mothers who are anx- ious for the welfare of her little ones will receive free for the asking a valuable little book én the care of (infants and young children. Comoern- ing the Tablets, Mrs. G. 1. . Bonham, St. George, Ont., says: "I can re- commend Baby's Own Tablets as ga safe and sure medicine for little ones. I have raised four babies with their aid and would not be without them."
