I once- thought I had a message to oppose. this scheme and when I came to the County Council I met my honored, faiend, W. J. McFarland. He was at one time opposed to the scheme, but he was appointed a member of a committee to make enquiry respect- ing the working oi Houses of Refuge generally, and as the result of his; enquiry he completely changed his: mind.

His Free System of Treatment has arrested the hand of death in the cases of thousands of consumptives and has pre- vented the disease in countless instances.

It was only | on ’l‘uesday night. while he was atw tending to his duties at Ottawa that ’ he receivul a telegram from tl.e. Warden, inviting him to be present.. The night before at ten o’clock he was in the Chamber of the House of= Commons at Ottawa, and such was the excellent facilities for travel that he was able to be present on the oc- eaeicn. not having missed a meal or an hour’s sleep in the interval of. leaving Ottawa and reaching Mark-i 1 dale. Mr. Richardson said: We are; the favored with heautilul weather forl wit] this event, and we are all pleasedl whi that this enterprise is near comple-l 30" tion.

He was glad to see approach- ing: to its consummation the great work which as County Councillors they had undertaken. 0n the first inception of the question of building a House of Refuge he was only a “ boy member." and was Opposed to the undertaking. In the interval be- tween the sessions he had thought the matter over and had come to think it to be the duty of a christian nation to make comfortable pro- vision for the less fortunate and old peOple. He noticed that some of the members of the County Council who had in the earlier days opposed, with himself, the erection of a House of Refuge. were now among its most ardent supporters. He would not take up more of their time as he had quite a number of names on the pro- gramme which he had placed in his hands. and would call upon the Rev. Mr. Hunter for the opening prayer. Rev. Mr. Hunter stepped forward and offered up an earnest prayer for the success of the undertaking. Esq” ex-‘Varden of the County, take the chair, which was agreed to en thusiastically by the large audience. Mr. Gordon must have felt flattered indeed by the hearty manner in which his name was received. In taking the chair be thanked the mov- er of the resolution, and the audi- ence also. for calling him to the chair. He was very pleased to be At two o’clock the County Council assembled at the Markdale House corner, and headed by the Markdale Silver Band and also by the inspiring strains of the “ great Highland Pipes" under the control of a splen- did sample of the genus homo from the thriving village of Priceville in the person of Mr. Peter F. McAr- thur-son of John McArthur. county councillor of No. 5 Divisionâ€"and followed also by the scholars of the Markdale Public School in charge of Principal Rowe, quite a large pro- cession was formed and a start was made for the site of the House of Refuge. A platform had been erect- ed at the north-east corner of the building where the stone was laid, and upon the platform the members of the County Council were seated, together with several other promin- ent gentlemen: Dr. Hamill, Mayor of Meafuiwl; C. R. Sing; Matthew Richardson, .\i. P. for South Grey; W. Irwin. of the Durham Chronicle; C, \V, Rutledge, of the Markdale Standard; W. ll. Thurston, of the, Flesherton Advance ; Rev.

By Its timely Ilse thousands of apparently hopeless casefimve been peymangntlycured. 7 ' The Emfilsion of Cod Liver Oil is needed by some, the Tonic by House, and I gave him all the op. position I could. I then had not the information which I now have; when it came up again I was on the other side, the result of investi- gation and of information. It now seems to me to be the duty of the County Council to make provision for the aged and unfortunate peeple. When the vote was taken by plebis- cite I was not with them. The County Council has not made a mis- take in what they have done in the erection of a House of Refuge. I look upon this as a beautiful spot, and this House of Refuge will be a monument to the sympathy and gen- erosity of the people of this county. We will no longer have the disgrace of sending our old people to the mounty gaol. We are recognizing the fact of a Divine Father, which brings to us the though of the Brotherhood of Manâ€"we are coming to learn the value of this fact. When this progressive idea is ac- cepted it will be found underlying all the right thought and feeling of the day. No man can live separate or single; no people can make pro- gress unless they acknowledge that we must help our fellow men. In India and China they have caste, and they have not made as much progress in the last 4000 years as christian countries have made in one hundred years. This House will be a monument not only to the County of Grey, but a monument of the sympathy of the people of this country, and their place among the “brotherhood of men.” There are pessimistic views held by some peo- ple, but I do not believe there ever was an age or a peOple where there was a more generous feeling than with the Anglo-Saxon race. I have no feeling that “the days are getting worse on our little planet,” nor am I anxious to get off it. I had a let ter on this line from a cooeditor of an old country Review. \Ve often hear sermons on " preparing to die." I say, Prepare to Live.~â€" (Applause.)

Shortill, Reeve of Markdale, made a brief address. He thought the County Council had been wise in selecting \larkdale for the site of the House of Refugeâ€"it was very cent- ral. The people of Markdale will manifest their sympathy and good will to the old people who may come Mr. McColman was sorry that he had the misfortune to be introduced as ”one of the oldest men in the county.” He was very glad that their efiort to erect a House of Refuge as a home for the aged and infirm, was being brought to a suc- cessful issue. If appealed to. the ladies present would recOgnize the necessity of taking care of the child- remâ€"There is an old saying. “ Once a man. Twice a Child.” The County Council has come to realize the fact that it is really necessary to provide for the old people. and'when this building is completed it will be a monument to the generosity of the people of the County of Grey. Warden Preston was next intro- duced. He said he would not take up much time. He was accustomed to earn his bread " by the sweat of his brow,” but he could not do it by the sweat of his jaw. He recognized that institutions of this kind marked the difierence between heathen lands and Christian lands. In Christian lands there are many who are willing to give their means, and their lives even, to help the needy and the dis- tressed. In this home the old and infirm will be received and carefully provided for by a Christian commun~ ity. ‘I trust that those who come here to be cared for, will not come feeling that they are getting charity, but that they will come as a matter of right. Mr. McKinnon. ex-Werden. felt proud that he hud turned from the "error of his ways.”â€"For lack of informetion he had opposed the erec- tion of uHouee of Refu go, but on further information he had chunged his mind, and was now pleased that a structure so creditable was being erected, and he believed when it we. completed we would all be proud of the structure.

We bed short notice to get up the demon- etretionâ€"hnd we had time. the crowd would have been increased four-fold â€"yet we ere'gretified to see so many present. In the cavity in the corner stone was placed a copper box, in which were placed a large number of copies of the minutes of County Council, dating from 1854 (the first year in which the county had a separate automony) and coming down to the present date. There was also a re- cent cOpy of each of the neWSpapers published in the county; one each of silver coins of the Dominion issued in the reign of Queen Victoria. and of the silver coins issued since the beginning of the reigin of Edward VII; list of the names of the present members of the County Council. the County and Government oflicials of the county, names of members of the House of Commons and of the Local Assembly of Ontario. Mr. Peter McArthur pleyed o. selec- tion on the pipes. Dr. Ego spoke briefly but eloquent- ly in reference to the erection of this House of Refuge. He felt honored that the building hed been erected in Merkdsle. He felt the building being erected would reflect honor upon the County Council. Nevertheless he hoped they would ell retsin their vigor of mind and body so thst it will not be necessary for eny of them to heve e home in this House. Rev. Mr. Hunter weepleeeed thet we are to have euch en inetitution in this County, end that the disgrace will be wiped out, of our old people being placed in geol with criminele. Thie building will be a credit to thie County, and to us all. to have an in- etitution of this kind in our midet. The Warden then proceeded to the laying of the corner stone. The con- tractor had a supply of mortar to hand. and on the mortar being placed on the bed, the Warden spread the mortar, and on the stone being low- ered to its place the Warden tried the stone with the level and plumb rule and declared the stone ” well and truly laid in the name of the Father. the Son, and the Holy Ghost.” The audience joined in singing “ God Save the King.” and the work of lay- ing the corner stone was an accomp- lished fact.
