Prominent amongst them are the churches. Out of the flames they rise 3 “more beautiful and vaster.” Last winter the Presbyterian church at Bobcaygeon was burned. With the energy that marks all congregations and, perhaps, especially those in which the Scotch predominate, the adherents of that church have set about it to build another. The foundation is already complete. (9n Thursday last the corner stone was laid. . 1 The old church' was on the south- ern extreme edge of the island; the site of the new one is north of the bridges and across the square to the northWest of the town hall. The foundation is of dressed stone and stands high enough to provide a fine basement: It. is 30X50 and built by Harper Bros. under Contracâ€" \tor Peter Grant. The weather W Thursday and a. lar sat about in the '- vice's in connection corner stone were Esturion made a dc V Dinner was provided under church A very auspices in the town hall. large number were served. At 2.30 the services began. Rev. Bryce In- nis, pastor of the church. officiated. On the platform were: Revs. Creighâ€" ton, Connors and Horton, the Angli- can, Baptist and Methodist pastors in the village. :eo. lIcHugh M.P.. J. H. Carnegie, M.P.P., Col. Hughes M.P., Inspector Knight and Dr. Vrooman. Mrs. (‘01. Hughes, Miss Burke and Mrs. John Anderson of town were on the p,a.tforn1 with Mrs. (Rev.) Bryce Innis. The exercises began by singing the ,74th psalm, “Thou shalt arise and fextend mercy to Mount Zion, etc., 1Then followed the scripture lessons: ‘Ezra. 310â€"13 and Rev. :21. These passages are descriptive of the dedi- cation of the second temple at Jeru- --1~M A“: n; Hm vision of the seer of The weather was beautiful on Thursday and a. large crowd stood or' sat about, in the nun while the ser- vices in connection with laying the corner stone were in progress. The Esturion made a double trip but. beâ€" cause it was not generally known that she would very few took. advanâ€" tage of it. In behalf of his wife Mr. Innes thanked the congregation for the kindness shown Mrs. Innes by the presentation. Mr. Moore also dis»- played the articles that were to be deposited beneath the stone. They were: The coins and stamps of Cana- (h.; copies of the Bobcaygeon Indeâ€" pendent, Mail and Empire, Globe,and Westminster, the rules of the church- and a copy of the subscription list to the building fund. This document was decorated by the names of the political gentlemen 0n the platform before being deposited. An Historic Sketch Mr. W. Hickson, late principal of the village schools, gave a brief out- line of the history of Presbyterianism in Bobcaygeon. He said: Our denom- ination here seems to date back to 1856. Rev. John Ewing, in that and the two following years, came over occasionally from Mt. Pleasant aad Omemee. He preachedin the school- house in 1859. Rev. Mr. Clarke was here for six or seven months. He was followed by Rev. Mr. Patterson who was an honored and useful pas- tor until 1875. He first helped to build the church recently burned. It was built in 1866.'It cost $486.12. Rev. A. F. Tully followed till 1879, when he resigned and Rev. Alex. Mo- Farlane became pastor till 1882. In 1883 Mr. Craigie came and seven years later he was followed by Mr. Anderson who four years ago was succeeded by Mr. Innes our present pastor, whom we hope will long be spared to us. The “corner stone" was then laid. It was not at a corner but suspended at the centre of the front wall. By chain tackle it was lowered to its place and by a stroke of the silver trowel Mrs. Innes performed the cor. emony dround which all the exercises centred. A Number of Addresses The gentlemen on the platform were ashes . next called upon. The pastor said 15 he took great pleasure in having d them there. The rapid progress in c the church building during the past three weeks led him to hope that the keys would be handed over by the contract timeâ€"Feb. lst 1901. He thanked the members of the various port and sympathy during the past ] few months. He then read a letter i from J. C. Patterson (2.0., of Tor- onto, regretting that he could not be present. Mr. Patterson is a son of a former minister of the church. Rev. M. Creighton extended his con- ; gratulations, regretted there were so many denominations, but declared that while they did exist it was everyone’s duty ‘to encourage the ut- most good will. Many of the older members of Knox church might never be able to love the new church as they had the old, but to the young people it would soon become ahome to which they would be greatly at- tached. The corner stone was the sign of the foundation. In churches and in human life foundations were the important things; Child-training meant much for the future. The great foundation for all is Jesus1 Christ. llr. Vroomanâ€"I am glad to come to Bobcaygeon toâ€"day. The oftener I come the better impression of the place and people do I get. For pur- poses of my own I have been trying to get acquainted'with the people of Victoria county and I‘find in no part of it people whom I respect more highly or enjoy meeting frequently than the people of Bobcaygeon and the surrounding country. I am not surprised to hear that you live in harmony. I will speak briefly for there are others to come and I know you are waiting to hear the Lion of Africa who is here to-day. (Applause) It was only by an accident that I escaped being a Presbyterian and I S feel just about as warm toward them ’f as I do toward the Methodists.

I have a great sympathy for all efforts to build Places in. fhfcli to worship and practise religion, I believe it will make very little 'dlfi‘erâ€" ence after all, when the church lwery We wore is laid aside, by what name we called ourselves so long as we do the best we know. This church ap- pears 'to me in some respects like the first church on earthâ€"4t is founded on a rock and built by Peter (Laugh-1 ter). So it should last to the end of time. I hope those that seek the Lord here will find him. I hope we shall all be here again in February when your church is opened. I am glad to hear of the good will 1lmt exists here. And why should it not? If our ministers all preach good will we shall have it. Then Canada Will go ahead as no other na- tion on earth. Let us stand up for fellowship among the races and the creeds in this country and stamp out every attempt to set one against the _ other. Your church is founded on a rock and I trust it will not be roofed . with a mortgage. ,_ A: Rev. Mr. Connors spoke congratulation. Bob: knOWn as the City of B it might be called the Cit J.H. Carnegie M.P.P. urged mutual concessions, co-opa'ation and loyalty to the minister as three essentials to church success. These were illustrat- ed by appropriate anecdotes. Col. Hughes was given a hearty re- oeption when he rose. He said in part: I am glad to meet this big crowd of the people of Victoria. couno ty. I have been referred to by one speaker as The Lion of Africa. New I am not going to pose as a lion nor am I going to play the part of the animal who wore the lion‘s skin and came to grief. (Laughter) Before I got ashore at Quebec I received your pastor’s invitation to be present here toâ€"day. I told Mrs. Hughes to tell Mr. Innes that-I would try and be here and since then I have cut my cloth to get here. I was charmed to hear these two speakers, Mr. Mo- Hugh and Dr. Vrooman. plead so earnestly for peace and goodwill. They have missed their callings; they should be wearing the cloth. But wait; an election is at hand; wait for a, few days till they get their sleeves rolled up, and you will see where their peace and goodwill goes to '(Laughter). Toâ€"day they are sitting here side by side preaching peace but watch them then (Laughâ€" ter). If I could be even as good as they look, I should be happy; but you will hear a, different story in a couple of weeks. They talk about both being back at your churchâ€"openâ€" ing in February.

(Applause) With regard to South Africa, it is said this is a. war of conquest, but m L With regard to South Africa, it is said this is. a war of conquest, but you must remember that the Dutch in South Africa years ago withdrew from place to place before the Britâ€" ish simply to get a chance to hold slaves. They set at nought the teaching of the Master we all pro- ‘fess to follow. While the Reformed church of South Africa has not played the Christian part in this War, yet to give me valuable assistance and he was only one of many. Our ene- mies there are descendants of the Dutch and Hugenots two fine races, but degenerated; and when a great people degenerate, they sink lower than any other. Both these peoples have done much for civil and religi- ous liberty, but the Dutch even opâ€", pressed the Huguenots in Africa by denying them their language and cusâ€" toms. Still because Britain asks that her subjects shall be treated the same as Boer citizens they go to war. But the war is over and a. settlement will I believe, be made on the same broad liberal lines that for 350 years has marked the policy of Britain. (Ap- plause). Inspector Knight said that. misfor- tunes often bring good results. They had done so in this case. The fire had led to a. better church. Educa- tion was two-fold: secular and religi- ous. These two should go together, for neither can succeed alone. The school and church are hand in hand.

It’s dreadfully annoying when you wake up not to be really cer- tain whether you ought to put on your business suit or your evening clothes.” Close inbreeding softens and weakens the whole organic structure. The early molting hens are the best winter layers. Give them especial at- tuition. There is better health among the rov- ing rowls because. they get the food whichJs best for digestion and the grit to help the gizzard to do its work. For keeping fowls in good health in small runs their quarters should be kept clean and be occasionally disinfected; es- pecially should they be kept free from vermin. nk Red pepper is.a stimulant temporarily and increases the appetite for a short time only.
