Brief History of Bentinck Baptist Church, Mulock Organized in 1875 with 14 Members. Later United with Another Baptist Congregation. A few brethren and sisters in the Township of Bentinck, who had been baptized on the profession of their faith, being desirous of organizing as a church, met for that purpose in Mr. Patrick O‘ Neil‘s house, 2ndâ€"Ap ril 1875, when Elder J. C. Mukish of Mt. Forest preached from Luke 12 : %2, "Fear not little flock, for it is your Father‘s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.‘ After preaching, Elder Mukish made a statement of the Seripture Doctrines believed and held by regular Baptists, also their practice in the observance of the Ordinance of Baptism and the breakâ€" Ing of Bread and church polity, whereupon the brethren and sisters declared those to be the same as held by them. Moved by Bro. Morris Jones, sec onded by Sister Sarah Jones : That Bro. Jonathan O‘Neil be the churen clerk.â€"Carried. Aiter _ which the‘ bretKren and sisters fellowshipped in the breaking of bread and then sang 34 MAKING OUR RAILWAYS PAY A Loaf Big Enough for Two If our foresight had been as good as our hindsight, we would never have built the excessive railway plant we have today. But what is done cannot be undone. There is no use crying over spilt milk. The problem now is to chart for ourselves the course that will most quickly and most surely place the Canadian National Railâ€" ways on a paying basis. Thus far the main effort of its manageâ€" ment has been to get more businessâ€" freight and passengerâ€"for the C.N.R. by taking it away from the C.P.R. By that method, the cost of securing business is greatly increased for both systc’x"n‘_s, with no real advantage to either. They are merely fighting over the division of a loaf, which isn‘t large enough to provide susâ€" tenance for both. The only way our railway problem will ever be solved is for the voters of Canada to see to it that our railways are given a bigger loaf to divideâ€"a loaf of freight and nassenger traffic that will be large enough for both systems to thrive on. We Have the Acorn, We Must Grow the Oak How to increase freight trafficâ€"that is the kernel of our problem! The average Canadian freight train earns $5.00 per mile travelled; the average passenger train cam: CEGVCRLEy ES l m e s only $2.00. So it‘s upon the freight end of the business that we must concentrate. Of course, some kinds of freight are more profitable than others. There is very little margin of profit in carrying grain, first because the rates applicable to it are lower VOTE CONSERVATIVE a bhymn, and after benediction, de parted thence. a A Council was called by the Church io meet on the 2nd day of June, 1875 for the purpose of con)ldorlnx the propriety of organizing the church in Dontinck as Regular Baptist Church. The following churches were repreâ€" soented by their two respective deleâ€" gates, viz : Clesley, Jno. Sluggett, Robt. Atkinson, Donald McGregor : Priceville, Elder R. Mcintyre, Angus Beaton, Archibald Beaton, Donald Beaton: Hanover, Deacon Whiteford, Robt. Whiteford and R.Clement : Paisley, Elder McNeil, together with E.der J. Coutts, evangelist : and Mt. Forest, Elder G.F. Robertson, Deacâ€" 01 Poole and H. H. Stovel and Rev. D. Wright, pastor of the church. These all being assembled within church, it was moved by P. O‘Neill, seconded by H. O‘Neil, that the de} esates from the various churches and th~ other brethren assembled with them be accepted by the church as a council.â€"Carried. Bro. J. Coutts being appointed chairman and Bro. D Wright, clerk. Bro. Coutts having made a full and clear statement of the doctrines and practices of the Regular Baptist Churehes, and the same being assenâ€" ted to and accepted by the church, it was moved by Elder D. McNeil, seeâ€" sure wayâ€"the only wayâ€"that our perplexing railway problem can ever be solved. ; FOR HIGHER TARIFF AND FOR LOWER TAXATION Temporarily our Canadian National Railway system is in a hole. To deny the fact would be rank untruthfulness, to belittle its importance would be sheer folly. But this huge public ownership enterprise CAN and MUST be pulled out of the hole, and it‘s up to the men and women voters of Canada to do it! _ Lower duties throw people out of work. * They just as surely throw railways out of work. We can never save our railways by giving them less work. We must use our brains and our courage to secure them more workâ€"better paid work! Higher tariffs will do it. per ton per mile than the rates on any other commodity, and second because the grain movement is a peakload traffic, calling for an enormous investment in cars that are idle the greater part of the year. But there is a substantial margin of profit in hauling general merchandise. What can we do to ensure our railways getting more of it? Higher Tariff the Cure Increase our populationâ€"start a big immigration movementâ€"and the rest will follow as a matter of course! Easier said than" done? Not at all! All we have to do to start the tide of immigration flowing through our ports is to hold out to the prospective immigrant the assurance of a steady job at good wages, or the chance to engage profitably in farming or some other form of production or service. ! A Tariff policy that allows the Canadian market to be supplied more and more by outside workers, automatically operates to reduce the freight traffic available for our railways. When for instance, due to insufficient tariff protection, the Libbeyâ€" Owens glass factory in Hamilton was forced to surrender the Canadian field to its sister A higher tariff, that will be a real Proâ€" tective Tariff, will give him a guarantee covering every point. And nothing else under Providence will! A Lower Tariff is EI oison EV Wxel EP NGARTUEHE .

Slugget, that the Church be recognized as a Regular Daptist Church and be known as the Socond Bentinck Baptist Churchâ€"Carricd. First Members and Officers The Conncil arranged that Deacon Poole read a portion of Scriptureand lead in prayer, that Elder D. MeNeil should preach, that Elder J. Coutts give charge to the church, Elder G. Robertson the right hand of fellowâ€" ship and Elder W. Wright read hymn and pronounce benediction. The Council then adjourned to meet in the schoolbhouse at 6 p. m. The hour of 6 p.m. having arrived the council, church and people met, when the above arrangement was carried out in due order. The names of the members constiâ€" tuting the church are as follows : Henry O‘Neil, Patrick O‘ Neil, Jonaâ€" than O‘Neil, Ann McLean, Elizabeth McLean, Catherine McEcherine, Mary Jones, Sarah O‘Neil, Martha O‘Neil, Margaret McLean, Mary McEcherine, Morris Jones, Alex. McGillivray. Two Churches Unite In January, 1876, a meeting was convened in the schoolhouse on the Tth con., consisiing of four members of the First and Second Baptist Churches in Bentinck, for the purpâ€" ose of considering the propriety of uniting the two churches, also the propriety of building a chapel. The First Bentinck or Gallic Bapâ€" tist Church was in existence for some time before this, but so far as we know, no record of the organizaâ€" tion of that church has been kept. The following members of the 1st Baptist Chureh were present : Archibald McLean, Hector McDonâ€" ald, Jno McGillivray," Rachael Mcâ€" Kinnon, Flora McLean, Flora McDonâ€" ald, Flora McGillivray, Mary McGilâ€" livray.

Elder A. Warren, pastor of the 2nd church, was elected chairman and afâ€" ter some remarks, showing the benâ€" efits thit would arise from the two churches being united, it was moved by Henry O‘Neil of the 2nd Church, and seconded by Archibald McLean of the 1st church, that the 1st and 2nd Bentinck Churches unite and be one churchâ€"Carried unanimously Moved by Henry O‘Neill, seconded‘ by Hector McDonald, that the united church be known as the Regular Baptist Church of Bentinck.â€"Carried THE DURHAM REVIEW we import every year, our railways would have the hauling of another 50,000 carloads per year of raw material freight.

Increasing Imports Mean j Bigger Railway Deficits Every time that low duties take away a portion of the domestic market from a Canadian industry and give it to a foreign industry, our railways suffer in four ways. 1. They lose the hauling of the raw material that such industry would have used. 2. On the finished product, instead of the full local rate, they get only their proportion of. the through import ‘rateâ€"a much lower net. 3. When it results in the Western Canaâ€" dian market being supplied from a dian market being supplied from &A U.S. factory, they lose the long East and West haul, and get only the short haul from the international They lose the hauling of all the merâ€" chandise that would have been conâ€" sumed by the workers who, due to the resultant unemployment, emigrate to the United States. Moved by Henry O‘Neill, seconded by Patrick O‘Neill, that Hector Mcâ€" Donald be deacon. â€"Carried. Moved by Hector McDonald, secâ€" onded by Jno. McGilvray, that Hy. O‘Neill be a deacon.â€"Carried.

Mclntyre, Oct. 14th, 18 members being present. The meeting was opened by singing the Institute ode, followed by the Lord‘s prayer.

MERCER, MARKDALE HOLDS SALE OF SHORTHORNS On Oct: 16th, the entire herd of pure bred Scotch shorthorns, the property of Thos. L. Mercer, Mark dale, was disposed of by public aucâ€" tion at his exceptionally fine farm, two miles from Markdale. The crowd was not large, undoubtedly due to the backward weather which has prevailed, leaving many farmers far behind with their work. 26 animals passed through the auctioneer‘s _ hands, Bidding . was not brisk, the highest price paid by Mr Frank Taylor was $185 for a Stamford cow. Mr. Mercer started with a Stamâ€" ford cow about 30 years ago and has persistently and consistently bred the one family. He still retains one of the same family for old times‘ sake. The sale average exceeded $110.00, which was high considering the few buyers present. The greater number of the animals were sold to local people. The sale was made necessary by the fact that Mr Mercer has purchâ€" ased the Markdale Dairy business and will henceforth stock up with dairy cows. Mr Mercer is one of the veteran shorthorn breeders and imâ€" porters of Canada. Several years ago he engaged in the shorthorn busâ€" iness and hag been one of the largâ€" est importers and real constructive breeders of the red, white and roans in Ontario.
