When, in 1876, the Centennial Exhibiâ€" tion was held in this city, it was generally conceded that on account of Philadelphia‘s connection with the first conflict for indeâ€" pendance it was entitled to the honor of using the press in defence of the Sabbath, iu romoval of temptations from the path ol the young, and in opposing the materialisâ€" tic and scientific infidelity of the day. The ratio of representation is two minister‘s and two elders for each 100 ministers in the reâ€" spective echurches. with the qualification, that of the churches rise in number the raâ€" tio of representation is somewhat decreasâ€" ed, so that a church of over 4,000 ministers cannot have more than forty representaâ€" tives, no matter how high they may go beâ€" yond the 4,009 memkers. Thd first meetâ€" ing of a Council organized on the above basis was held in Edinburgh, in 1877, and as the meetings are held triennially, tbil! gathering in the Quaker Ci‘y of Bro:herly Love is the second General Council. 4 + HISTORY Of TiE PRESENT COUNCIL. | | _ It was not, however, till 1868 that the ! | idea was revived, and this time by Captain | | James MceGrigor, one of the Professors of | the Free Coliege, Edinburgh,.

In this assembly that met in the dingy chapel there were just forty members, only six of whom were ministers,. From that little chapel in the Cowgate, seods were carried by emigration and by persecution to Ulster, and Philadelâ€" phia, and Australia and Ching, till the six | ministers increased to over ten thousand. What news do the representatives of these ten thousand men bring from their respectâ€" ive churches? "Watchman, what of the night ?" Our lot has happened in perilous times.

If this sum is judiciously distributed over the municipalâ€" f ities interested thore is good reason to beâ€" lieve that the great bulk of it will be votod. , | The feeling against giving the roud a reaâ€" sonable assistance is not so strong now as ;| it was some time ago, and the fact that. it is passing out of the hands of a Company | in which, rightly or wrongly, the people have lost confidence removes one of the |strongest objections to granting it aid. True, the Grand Trunk Co. havs «l the roads rumning into this part of the country, |and as sach tanuot be expocted to conipete | very strongly against tlremselves, but the |t‘act is that competitior #imong railway companies is nowadays out of the question, tor no matter how distinct they may be, they invariably amalgamate as soon as their interests come iato conflict. The Grard Trunk Railway, however, is the strongest and most enterprising rond in Canada, and the people may feel confident that in extending a branch to Owen Sound, the Company mean to maeke it one of the strongest and most flyurishing feeders of the main line. ‘The peoprle of this section have never yet had the benefit of a firstâ€" class railway, and now that one is ofered them it is to be hoped that they will see it in their interst to give it what assistance they can. The T. G. & B. has cost them considerable already, but not as mutelr as if they had to pay for # broad guage road in the first place, and it is ecurcely fair that they should expect such # road for what they voted to the T. G. & B. It is slso to be hoped that the amount asked for will be judiciously distributed over the municiâ€" palities alopg the line, and that those which have heretofore been most benefitted by the road; and which are now most dependâ€" ént on it, will be asked for tlie lurgest amounts. ‘The bonuses to be asked from the different municipalities are not yet fully made known, but so fer as we can learn Sarawak will beâ€"meked for $2,000, Holland for $10,000, Sallivan for $8,000 Derby for $8,000, and Sydenham for $10,â€" A meeting was held in the Town Hall | on Friday evening last to consider matters in convection with the Toronto, Grey and | Bruce Railway, and more particalarly the agreement arrived at between that road |and the Grand Trauk. The agreoment is dated the 18th day of September, 1880, and contains, among others, the following provisions:â€"1st. That the road shall ie landed over to the Grand Trunk Company, to be worked by them, on the first duy of May, 1881. 2nd. Fhat or or before the Blst day of December, 1881, the Grand Trunk Company shall wider the road to the standard guage of four feet cight and a half inches, and otherwise reconstruct and equip it. 3rd. That to enable them to do this the T. G. & B. Company shall, on or before the 1st day of May, 1881, hand over to the Grand Trunk Co. all their right and interest in municipal debeutures granted or to be granted to the amount of $300,000, as well as to pay over to them $700,000 in money. +It is further provided that the Grand Trunk Co. shall not be called on to expend more than this amount, and that, if it is insufficient, the T. G. & B. Co. are to provide the balance. ‘The F, G. & B. Co. have also an option of carrying out certain parts of the improvements, and deâ€" ducting the amount paid for them from the $700,000 ntoresaid. It is also provided that ths Grand Trunk Co. are to hnve the power of fixing the rates for the road ; that they may tnke down, remove, or close an y station, subject to the sanction of thé mnâ€" nicipality interested ythat they shall can y ecordwood on the terms now fixed by Staiâ€" ute for the T. G. & B. Co. ; and that, at the close of the term agreed upon, they shall deliver up the road and its equipments to the T.; G. & B. Co. in as good a state of repair as they took it. A large numberâ€"of other provisions relating to the manageâ€" ment of the debentures and interest are inâ€" sorted but are too lengthy for pmblication. .â€"O. 8. Advertiser. Toronto Grey & Bruce R.
