JAN. 17, 1901 The Awakening of Ontario. Ontario is just about to wake up and find herself famous. The news of the vast wealth of our north land is just being voiced abroad, and American and n capitalists realiziug the possibilities of our vast stretches of timber, mineral and agricultural lands are flocking in to invest their nioney, the Clergue Company with their tweaty millions invested around Sault Ste.

Editor of the OBSERVER: When 1 undertook a slight crit. icism of your Prince Albert corves- | pondent's reference to the Port | Perry union meetings I did not ex- pect him to readily agree with either my inferences or conclusions-- neither did 1 expect him to beat so undignified a retreat nor sec! such a refure as contained in his last in his flight. Had he not asked me a b very pointed ques tions in what he assures us is his "last article on the subject" I should have allowed it to go altogether un answered as I think his position is very clearly defined. But the gist of his questions 1 will, with your kindly permission, seek to answer. My reference to "spectacles" was pointing to the various schools (or sects) which have arisen since the days of The Christ and His Apostles. Many are inclined to look at the teachings of Christ through the teaching of the school in which they have been drilled, regarding the latter as an aid to their mental vision just as some recognise "'spec- tacles" as an aid to their physical eyesight. We thus have Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, Lutheran. Russian, Greek, &c., &c., spiritual "speclac- les," all of which are used in loo tates ite pine ti still larger wealth of pulp ti 3 splendid water power scattered all thi the country plenty .of good mineral land and hundreds of square miles of agricultural lands as good | as can be found any where in the province. Half a dozen other ex ploration parties are sending in similar reports. And yet few people in Ontario have any adequate appreciation of our almost inexhaustible wealth of timber, mineral and agricultural lands. We are waiting for foreign capitalists to come and exploit our resources for us, achieve wealth for themselves and then wake us up to show us just how great a counlry we have ri -- Majuba Day. The days between the 18th and 20th of February, 1900, will be memorable in the history of the South Atrican war. The part taken "| sample they would by the Canadian troops on that day when the "lion of the north" --Gen- eral Cronje--was forced to surrender will be spoken of as a work worthy of any regiment. The position they | occupied is clearly depicted in the | picture which The Weekly Globe is giving free to its yearly subscribers. A sample copy can be seen at this office. Itis certainly worthy ofa place in every Canadian home. Dirtribution ot Samples of Seed Grain and Potatoes Editor of the OBSERVER, During the past twelve years samples of those varieties of grain, &c, which have succeeded best on Experimental to farme: x inion. The object in > in this distribution has been to add to the productivness and improve the quality of these important agricult- ural products throughout the coun- try, by placing within reach of every farmer, pure seed of the most and productive sorts. This work has met with much ap- preciation, and a large measure of success. Under instruction of the Hon. Minister of iculture another distribution will be made this season Owing to the very large number of applications annually received, it is not practicable to send more than one sample to each applicant,-- hence if an individual receives a sample of oats, he cannot also re- ceive one of wheat, barley or pota- toes, and applications for more than one sample for one household can- not be entertained. These samples will be Sent only je hose who apply personally, lists names i . individuals cannot be considered. The distribution will consist as heretofore of samples of oats, spring wheat, field peas, Indian corn and potatoes. Applications should be addressed to the Director of Experimental Farms, Ottawa, and may sent any time before the 1st of March, 1901, after which date the lists will be closed, so that the samples ask- ed for may all be sent out in go time for sowing. writin, will please mention the sort prefer nami 3 e Dom- your cor dent are Sermons and Christian Perfection both of which I decline to put on-- just as your correspondent would decline to put on Roman Catholic spectacles.

He | is also inaccurate when he either; charges or insinuates that I have; referred to the "sects" which I see| as either deceivers, anti-christ, or| the mother of harlots and abomina- | tions of the earth. Any suchinsin | uations originate in his own mind. He, himself, said that some within | these "sects" had no part in the, matter of Christian life their hearts | not being right with God. I did not | say so, and would not say so. I know that men and women within these "sects" think differently of the docttine: A who believe that few will be brought to heaven and to God, while others believe that the ultimatum will be that all shall be turned to God and to righteousness--that God will be all and in all. All that I am anxious to know is, Who has the doctrine of Christ ? Your correspondent asks me, Did not Christ say "upon this rock will I build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it?" 1 answer, He certainly did. He asks me, Have the gates of hell pre: vailed against it? I answer, cer- tainly not--not against the church of Christ. He then asks and I echo the questions, Where is the true church of Christ to-day? Where may we who are anxiQus to belong to it find it? He then undertakes to answer the questions he propounds for me and more than hints that the true church is found in the followers of Whitfield, Spurgeon, and Wesley. He says that we shall know them b: their fruits, and then undertakestot me what their fruits are, al id Perry Council for 1gor--except M Clemes--met on Monday last, ps suant to Statute.
