At the annual gathering of the | membership of Sydenham street | Methodist church held on Monday | evening, three hundred and ninety six slgned their names to a petition {| which will be forwarded to Hon. W. i F. Nickle, attorney-general, inform ing him that they do not think that this an opportune time to take a vote | on the liquor question. The petition | states that the Ontario Temperance Act has not been given a fair trial and until such time as it has been, the vote should be delayed . Elmer Davis, who proposed the resolution, stated that when the mat- was discussed by the trustee and of- ficlal boards it was thought better | to have the congregation as a body | express its views on the matter. | The trustee and official boards, at | a meeting held after the banquet, | instructed Dr. A. P. Chown, record- ing steward, to forward the signed i petitions to Hon. W. F. Nickle with a letter stating that the signatures | which appeared on the petition are | of men and women who will have a | vote when the referendum will be | submitted to the people of the prov- | ince. | It was also decided that Elmer | Davis, Oliver Chown, Prof. C. WwW, Drury and Frank R. Anglin would | go to Toronto next week for the pur- | pose of attending the Temperance Workers' convention venich is to be held in that city on Tuesday, March | 18th. The following is a copy of the | petition which was so largely sign- | ed: 3 | "To the Hon. W. F. Nickle, K.C., Attorney-General of the Province of Ontario: | "We, the members and adherents | of Sydenham street Methodist | church, Kingston, assembled in our { annual congregational meeting, tako | this, our first, opportunity of ex- | pressing to you, as the attorney- | g~neral of the province, our sincere appreciation of the energy and loyalty with which you are seeking to enforce the Ontario Temperancs { Act. { "In view of the present agitation { for another plebiscite on the tem | perance issue, we respectfully urge upon you the following considera- | tions: -- : "¢(1) Whereas it is impossible within thé short space of three or four years to determine the success or failure of so sweeping a reform, we therefore submit that this act should be given further and ample opportunity to demonstrate its grow- ing efficiency in the suppression of the liquor traffic, under your able administration; and "(2) Whereas the policy known as 'government control" is still only an experiment, and go far as we have "observed Its results anything but a satisfactory substitute for the pres- ent Act; and ""(3) Whereas it is our firm con- viction that there is no general pub- lic sentiment demanding another vote on this question but that the present agitation is promoted chiefly by a nolsy and interested minority, whose opposition to the Ontario Temperance Act is due, not so much to the failure of. the act as to (its success, "Therefore, we, the undersigned, respectfully urge that a vote be not taken either now or in the Im- mediate future, but that such vote be deferred till the province has had ample time and opportunity to ob- serve the full results of the policy of government control as it is admin- istered in Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba and Alberta." RESOLUTION PASSED By Queen Street Church Against O.T.A, Referendum. On Sunday the congregation of Queen Street Methodist church with- out a dissenting vote, passed the fol- lowing resolution: Moved by H, E. Law, seconded by Malcolm McDonald, and resolved, that this congregation of Queen Street Methodist church, Kingston, while feeling gratification over the declared purpgse of the government of the pro- vince to retails enforee the On- tario Temperance Act while it remains inscribed among the laws of the prov- ince, desires to express its conviction that the time is not opportune for the submission to the electurate of a re- ferendum concerning possible changes in the act in the direction either of permitting the sale of light wines and peers of larger alcoholic content than are now allowed to be sold, or of the sale of intoxicants under so-called government control. "Furthermore this congregation would register its conviction that any such referendum, if submitted at a later date ought to be preceded by the institution of an unbiased and indepen- dent investigation of the operation and results of the present Ontario Temper- ance Act, and that any such investiga- tion would thoroughly discredit the al- legations made that the act has failed, and would prove, on the contrary, that the act has worked increasingly for the benefit of the people of the province both materially and morally, and that any change in the act design- ed to make the procuring of intoxicants in any form more easy for the people of the grovince would be likely to re sult in a very pronounced increase of drunkenness and of the other evils which follow in its train."

The recipient made a fitting and graceful reply and the little gather- ing rounded i. to a very happy event. CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE CONVENTION OPENS -- In Bethel Church Monday, Evening--Colored Quintette | Render Musical Selections. | Every available seat in Bethel! church was filled on Monday eve- ning at the first session of the | Christian and Missionary Alliance Convenfion, which is being held in Kingston all this week. "The famous alliance colored quintette, who have been filling the | largest auditoriums in Canada, were present, and rendered five selections | during the service. Every member is a consecrated singer, who sings | the gospel out of a full heart, Their | richc harmonies, and spiritual fervor is'an evnression of an experience that is rich = nd deep. Their singing can | certainly drive the message home | with telling effect. The meetings are in charge of | Rev. A. W. Roffe, Toronto, superin- | tendent for Capada. The first speaker was Mis§ Nellle Jones, a returned missionary from China, who | told the story of her life, and how she came to be a missionary. ! The second speaker was Reva Os- | wald J. Smith, pastor of the Alli-| ance Tabernacle, who gave the first talk of the series on Eternal Life, | which he will give during this con- | vention, "Eternal Life," sail the speaker, | "4s important because men are dead | in trespasses and sin. Man is made! up in three parts, body, soul and spirit. We may be alive physically, | and our sculs may be alive, that is, our intellect and emotions, and yet we may be dead unto God, because the spirit is dead within us. There are just two classes of people, those who are dead unto God, and those alive unto God. Eternal Life is im- portant because it is man's eternal destiny. No one can enter heaven who is dead in trespasses and sin. There is no "life apart from birth, and without spiritual birth there is no spiritual life, Except a man be born again he cannot see the King- dom of God. God so loved the world that he gave his only begot- ten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John III:16, and in John II1:36 we find, 'He that be- lieveth in the Son hath everlasting life, but he that believeth not the | Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." These meet' "gs will continue at 3 and 7.45 p..a. each day through- | out the week, and if the crowd that | attended on Monday evening is any indication to go by, a larger hal! will ; have to be secured to accommodate the people. Chateau Taxi Service. With the approach of the . sea- son for weddings, family gatherings, beautiful drives and fuller enjoy ment of the open, the Chateau Taxi Service is getting its house in or- der to meet the usual spring rush. This establishment has proved very popular with the public, and the beautiful closed cars and attentive service have gained many friends.
