Shortly‘ after eight o’clock. the audiencej sat down to a tastily prepared; luncheon. after which Mayor Laid- law. acting as chairman; took' charge of the meeting.

Rev. Mr. Warner, Baptist minister : of Walkerton. was called upon as9 the first speaker. ! His address was a very appro-l:1 priate appeal to all Christian Workers. to assist in evangelical i advancement. He pointed out the 3‘ changes that Were taking place in .3 the centre of Christian influence. 3. In early times. the Mediterranean!* Sea constituted the centre of the 5‘ Christian “'orld. The discovery’pf ‘ America broadened the limitations‘ and formed a new centre. It ' took four hundred years to accom- ' plish the work of spreading the‘. gospel to the new world. Now China and Japan, with their mil-l lions of unsaved souls, are to bei reckoned with. and the centre of' religious influence is .now the Pa-fi citic Ocean. i â€"v â€".'.v v â€"v u‘guvuv-J nil‘ “5 Bl‘ Th m ‘f “T“RV‘“ M“ “' 0' home of his daughter in Toronto.

Dealing with the financial aspect Ithe weekly offering system was lproving by all means the simplest ‘and most productive. It not only increased by manyfold the amount ' of the gifts‘ but it made our giving ?a real and regular part of our .worship of God. A committee of menâ€"busy menâ€"who value system and time ‘is urged for every con- Tgregation. Let these men con- lscientiously face the local church ' problem‘ and seek to fix what they believe to be the local responsi- bility. and then in a brotherly way. make a canvas of every at- tendant of the church and solicit their co-operation in meeting that . responsibility. Rev. Mr. Newton‘ of Durham. and Rev. Mr. Start, of Bentin'ck, each made a brief and forceful address and the meeting closed with the Doxology and benediction shortly before eleven o’clock. It was a very successful effort, and will have an influence for good. Under the auspices of the Pres- byterian Guild, a very unique concert and entertainment was prtsented in the town hall on Tuesday ev ening , and the large at- tendance and good attention must have been highlv gratifying to the performers. which consisted of a large number of the ladies of the congregation. to devote time, thought and money to the spread of the gospel as never before. At the great con- gress of men, held in Toronto last April, a Canadian national policy of missions was framed. This pol- icy declares that in view of the universality and finality of the gospel of Jesus, and the need of every human soul. we should seek to give the gospel to every creat- ure. That laymen are equally re- sponsible with clergymen; that the Canadian responsibility invol- ves in addition to our own home problem. forty millions of the heathen World, requiring four and one-half millions of dollars annu- ally. That there should be such coâ€"Operation of all the Christian denominations so as to prevent undue over-lapping and wasting’of energy and money. That this great business presents the su- preme opportunity of a man in his lifetime, and we call upon all men to invest their intelligence, influ- ence, energy and money. three yem agof but its spread and power were akin to the apostolic days. Like all great movements {or the edvance of Christianity. it It ,Was called the Spinster’s Con- vention. the name being consider- ed more euphonious than would be suggested by the more appropriate term of “old maid.” which the younger and older entertainers en- deavored to represent. It was a convention, and the main object was to devise ways and means for the capturing of a man. The gathering of the memâ€" bers the reading of the minutes. 'the presentation of the financial report and the regular routine of business formed a special portion of the program. The glees, chor- uses. solos. and drills, were all rendered in a style that was pleasing. The passionate and pa- thetic appeals to the eligible bach- elors and widowers, was extremely touching. and must have softened the most obdurate hearts. THE OLD MAIDS’ CONVPNI‘ION Miss Laura MacKenzie acted her part well as president, and among others, the names of Miss Hunter, Miss Ireland‘ and Miss Oliver are deserving of special reference for the excellent manner in which they performed their parts. They all did well‘ and if they don’t grow weary in well doing, Dr. Farqu- harson will have a busy time of it and reap a rich harvest in the very near future. We intimated last issue that M: Swallow was seriously ill‘ at the home of his daughter in Toronto. son, Thomas, and cam-u to Canada. He settled first in Peterborough, but subs- quently moved to Mt.
