Cameron, of Bloor street Baptist church, Toronto,l who received a call from Calvary Baptist church, New York, at $12,- 000 a year, has declined the of- fer, and, remains with his Toronto congregation at $3,000. Few men would resist such a temptation. It isn’t human, and the Toronto congregation has great reason to rejoice over the decision of a pastor, who.gives his services at such a tremendous sacrifice.

There Was a large.T company of amateur actors, young ‘ ‘ citizens of the town, and all per-11 formed their parts well, to the en- ‘1 ioyment of a good and attentive!‘ audience. The exhibition of theii‘:i evening shows what young people; can do when put on their mettle.’ Mrs. N. W. (‘ampbell had chargei of the program, and we give away; no secret if we say that she feared 1 her performers would not all be‘ “able to carry out their parts prop- erly. The inspiration of numbers had a telling effect and every- ’thing went off without a hitch. Some thought it was too short, "but that, in our opinion, was one of its merits.

At Caledon and Orangeville, there is enough last week between Sau- geen Junction and Toronto to delay the trains. An article in last week’s issue advised young men not to marry clinging vine girls. As we under- stand it, a clinging vine girl is St. Patrick’s Day comes next. a near relation to the girl who leans up to her lover like a sick kitten to a hot brick. Both kinds are said to be great leap year mashera. Two hundred and seventy huh. I gry and shivering men partook of ' the free breakfast last Sundayé morning at the Yonge street Mis- sion in Toronto. The breakfast was given by the Ontario Wind Engine and Pump Co., and an H. Chapman, president of the company. It seems like hard lines, but there’s a reason. i l i Thornbury got a gasoline en-‘ lgine for fire protection, but it ibalked at the first fire, and is {now used for sawing wood. While we have a great liking for gaso- line engines as a motive power in many ways, we would hesitate to recommend it for fire fighting .purposes. They are all liable to balk at times, and just as like as not when they are most needed. In good hands, they are all right for general work. l A horse belonging to liveryman in McDonald got away from the hOSt- ‘ W ler at his livery barn on Monday; morning last.
