Mr. Wallace’s morning text was 2 Cor-.1 : 2-1. “Not for that we have dominion (lordship. R.\7.) over your faith. but are helpers of your joy: for ‘0); faith ye stand.” The glory of a man is not so much his strength as Ms power to direct that strength Power should be unhamperod by weakness of will in him who posses- 565 it. or restraints imposed by those about him. Freedom is manfs glory. and freedom comes as much by the overthrow of tyrannies in a man as outside of him. Ignorance, nar- rowness and passion bring a. man more into serldom than can any dos- potism of his fellows.

Methodist church on Sunday. The'pastor was preaching for Mr. Lanceley in Port Hope, and of the services the Guide says: Rev. G. W. Henderson, of Lindsay, occuâ€" pied the pulpit of the Methodist church here and delivered two grand sermons. The lesson read in the morning service was the third of Ephesians; "the text was Romans 15:16. That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gen- tiles, ministering the gospel of God. that the suffering of the Gentiles might be acceptable. being sanctified by the Holy Ghost." The subject of the discourse was the “Necessity of an Educated, Consecrated and Converted Ministry.” The collec- tions and subscriptions were in aid of the Educational Society of the Methodist church.

Rev. Harvey Strike preachvd. Before the sermon proper he delivered an appreciative address on the or- der, which was that day celebrating the 84th anniversary of its establish- ment in America. The sermon was based on Ept. 5 : 27. “That He might presmrt it to himself a glori- ous church, etc.” Mrs. Strike and Mrs. M. Fee sang ......... Next Sunday morning the service will begin at 10.30. After the Love Feast and a short address the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be administered. At night the text will be : “ Sufâ€" ficient unto the 'day is the evil there- of." The anthems were very choice. In the" first “Pilgrims of the Night” the contralto solo was rendered by Miss Skinner, who though not accustomed to solo work, sang with admirable precision, expression and sweetness. Miss Gross rendered the soprano solo with even more than her accus- tomed animation and skill. The anthem was given a. capital interpre- tation, as was also the one given after the sermon.

I At night Mr. Wallace discussed the lparable of the man who hired some workmen in the morning and others glater, but paid them all alike fat night. The preacher believed :that by giving the late-comers full lpay, the employer was simply doing a generous act against which the complaints of the other werkmen were, without force. His view of the teaching of the parable, was, how- ever, that length of service or ’amount of work done, or even its quality, did not determine its rc- ‘reward ; this must be determined by the spirit in which it was done. Some single act of intelligence done in half an hour, and from an unsel- fish motive, may be of greater value than a life time of calculating achie» vements. The ' first employee bars gained at a 'price; they got the price. The later-comers were toldl they would get what was right, but demanded no fixed~price ; they got as much as the first. Here the preaâ€" cher laid down the somewhat novel proposition that workmen should not be particular about having a bargain as to wages. They would get what they were worth anyway. He had enough cOnfidenceiin human nature to believe that in most cases employers would pay a fair wage without any bargain. tréatmentfi of his original proposition, the preaCher turned to the text and declared that no clergyman had the right to control the faith of his flock.

Obviously each tribe of Indians had a certain Way of doing and making things. more of less distinct from that of other tribes, according to the difference of environment and separation decreed by natural conditions. When shell heaps had been piled up, therefore, each heap contained the relics of its own tribe or tribes, and five hund- red or a thousand years later, it remaining for so long a period, told its distinctive story of habits and skill and means or sulsfstenoe and desire for the beautiful. “In one case which came under Mr. Smith's notice over four hundred an- nual rings were counted in a tree trunk four feet in diameter. cut from above the site of a. shell heap nine feet deep; and experience in the ra- pidity with which such heaps accum- ulate among Indians now led to the almost sure conclusion that the heap in question Was nearly five hundred year. old. On another heap Was the stump of a tree which measured 28 feet in circumference, and al- though the hollow log which had fallen from it precluded any count of rings. its diameter of 6 feet 7 inches indicated great age. is not an uncommon thing to find shell heaps under the roots or stumps of great trees. and in fact, in many eases the accumulations have been detected through the cut- ting down or uprooting of one of these giants of the northwestern fon- est. The record of the rings of the trees has been taken in various in- stances, and from this it has been determined that at ‘lealt four or five hundred years must have elapsed since the last bit or rubbish was thrOWn away. vww, uv-wmâ€"o v----_._ lune tribe or tribee inhabited both. or.“ different tribes the degree of their ir termixture and relative pre-' dominance. In the present case. he proposes to begin work in the south- erly and southeasterly part of Washington, picking over shell heaps. u the term is applied gener- ally to refuse accumulations of the Indian villages, and to push north- ward to the point as a goal at which his British Columbia. investi- gations were stopped. Thus he will be able to compare the tribes inhabâ€" lting 500 or 600 years ago what is now Washington and Oregon with those then living in the Canadian country, and will find out further the virtual limits of each. Two questions are natural at this ointâ€"on'e, 'how is it. known thnt the dians,=' studied by means of the shell heaps, lived 500 years ago, more or less, and the other, how one can tell from the heaps, the one- time presence of s mi‘lar tribes. or mixture of dissimilu' ones. In the first respect Nature has come to the aid of the scientist and has furnished information, the ver- acity of which is beyond question.
