Forest Ep- worth League Association was held here in the Methodist church. A fairly good attendance assembled for the afternoon meeting, and a good profitable time was spent in listening to some able talent provided for the occasion. our The devotional exercises were con ducted by Rev Wrey Smith, the pastor here. after which a good prac- tical address was delivered on “ League Evangelism ” by Rev. Jud- son 'l‘ruex. of Holstein. The next speaker was Rev. A. J. Johnston, who gave an earnest able address on “ ForWard Movement. for Missions.” Mr. Johnston is a young man of much energy, earnestness and force. and imbued apparently with a strong spirit. of Missionary enter- prise. The most elaborate address of the alternoon session was delivered by Rev. J. C. Speers, D. D., of Toronto. on the subject “ The Holy Spirit in the Word and Worker.” Until the last few years the sneaker intimated that very little had been said or written about the Holy Ghost, and in the course of his address he gave rea- sons why, in his opinion the theme was avoided. Following this address, the regular work of the Junior League was pre- sented, the little ofiicers discharging in their usual way the various duties devolving upon them. Rev. Mr. Smith took part in the exercis. and once again demonstrated his ability to handle children. As announced on the program, Miss Maud Irwin read the topic. Sandwiched in between the exercis- es a number of choruses were sung as well as a couple of interesung selections by the Monkman Bros., who lot the past three we eeks have been 0 uguged in evangelical woxk in connection with the congregation here. At the night session the church was packed. The meeting opened at 7:30 with song service and Devotion- al exercises, and shortly after 8 o’clock, Rev. Mr. Kettlewell 'wes called on for his subject hearing the lengthy title. “How Can We Beat Mobilize our Forces for the Teinper- “vv-Cuâ€"v ' â€"._ ance Campaign ” The speaker on rising eXpreased his ileasure in see- ing the material prowess the town has made since hm hm. visa. and gave no uncertain sound of regret at hearing reports of Sabbath (it‘s-feral ion which he hoped were not true. and Il true hOped to see ended by enforcing. if necessary, the strong arm of the law.

A man named Chambers undertook for a consideration of $375, which was to be doubled if he proved six charges against Mr. Sutherland, to furnish damaging evidence. His witnesses were selected from the. most hardened criminals in the rid = ' ing. These men appeared in court to ‘ prove bribery in behalf of Mr. Suth. erland. but instead of so doing. they admitted they had been paid by J.
