It went on to recommend such changes in the clause as would allow more liberty of_actiovn to the members of the church. "Now, we can dance it we like,” re- marked one delegate on hearing the ted changes. A burst of laugh- cusses ter greeted this sally. MR. JUSTICE MACLAREN CAUTIOUS. Mr. Justice Mecl-aren, of Toronto. said that the present was the first attempt to interfere with this por- tion of the church's discipline. _It was an attempt to deal with prin- ciples which had been partly laid down by John Wesley himself and ratified by succeeding conferences- ‘I‘he matter had agitated several con- ferences and was a. theme of grave importance to the church itself.

Mr. Campbell and family returned to their home in Toronto toâ€"dny. The Point will soon be quiet for another season. but next year we will have still a livelier summer re- sort than ever. Dr. Riggs supplied the Point with sky-rockets Saturday night as the boat was coming in. Many Stur- geOn Point friends admired them and expect to see more. Sunday evening a grand song ser- vice was held in the front of Dr. IrVine's cottage. Dr. Irvine had his organ out on the lawn and in he light of about six lanterns and a h light about one hundred peo- ple sang hymns. Several were over from Sturgeon Point and took in the service, which was much appreciated by all. It is thought that this will be continued next season.

Mr. Smith has been proprietor of the Moorish Palace Hotel for the past four years going to Toronto from Orillia to succeed Mr. Phil. Davey as proprietor. He had moved the business to his new hotel at the corner of Queen and Simcoe-st‘s.. but had not taken his home furniture and eflects, when he was seized with an attack of the malady Wednesday at- ternoon. and had gradually grown worse since then, Mr. Smith was an exceptionally heavy man. weighing in the neighborhood of four hundred pounds, and this was. considered as ._ ‘- LIA ‘YESIGH'I‘ SPECIALIST. ‘ S.
