TOWN, DURHM 64 66 1.25 66 will be found applicable to the political situation of wâ€"dfiy. Mr. Laurier was nevertheless elected by a handsome majority of over 300. In the year of his acceptance of office he delivered a apeech, afpterwanis published in pamphlet form entitled "Political Liberalism." It was a noble defence of modern French Canadian Liberalism. In it he endeavored to show that their op})onenl.s sqought to discredit them by informing the people that they were the lineal descendants of the xedy republicâ€" ans of France and holding the same reâ€" volutionary and irreligious tenets, and liable to end in the same saturnalia of blood. In the course of this address Mr. Laurier used the following words which The session of 1875 was his first in the Dominion house, _ He seconded the rdoption of the address in recly to the speech from the throne. The mover was an equally promising politician from the sister provinceâ€"Thomas Moss, afterwards judge, but who died some few years ago. _ Mr, Lanrier spoke on that oceasion in French and quite electrified his country men who lmfl the opportunity of hearing him. â€" Eyen in that earliest utterance on the wide stage of Domimion affairs we find on his lips the word that has since become the watchword and cry of his partyâ€"recipâ€" rocity in friendship and commerce. Mr, Laurier seems to have at onceleaped inâ€" to importauce in his new sphere of action. _ His eloquence, his moderation and many other statesmanlike qualities marked him out as a worthy successor of Lafontaine and Dorion. | So rapidly did he come to the front that in two years after the date of his first entrance into parliament he was offered and acâ€" cepted a position in the cabinet as Minâ€" ister of inl:-nxl Revetue, _ The Blues: of Lower Carada plainly saw that a powerful leader had suddenly arisen. among their traditional foes, the Rouges It was their bounden duty they thought to clip his wings if possible. â€" Conseâ€" quenl.]y when on hccepting office he apâ€" pealed to his constituents for their enâ€" dorsation, a notable political battle ensued, â€" The Liberals largely trusted to the influence of the distinction which has just be n conferved on the represent ative, while the Conservatives exhaustâ€" ed every device to secure his defeat. In this they were successful, and for the want of 23 more votes Mr. Mackenzie‘s Fovernmeqt and the House seemed likeâ€" y to be deprived of his service. But the young Liberal Tribune was not allowed to go down in the night, hailf a dozen seats were offered him and he chose that of Quebec East, which the Hon. J. Thibaudeau vacated. Here again the opposition was very determined, but a notable career in public life, _ As if to Jjustify these foretellings he became a candidate in the same constituency for the Federal pavrliament and was elected. |law with the Hon. R. Laflamine, Q. C. and was called to the bat of Lower Canâ€" ada in 1865, _ Previous to this however he had taken the degree of B. C. L. at MceGill University, Montreal His health having suifered somewhat from his deâ€" votion to bis books, he left Quebec and | ook up his residence in Ath=basenville lwlwru he engaged in the work of editing the Pe Fr‘cheur newspaper. VUp to this time his Eberalisim had been theeretcal but now he had to put it to the practical test of everyday politics. ‘There was not much field for a newspaper of that stamp among the prinitive populace of Drummond & Athabasca, and after a year or so he gave up the editorship. Nevertheless it cannot be doubted that the experience was a valuable one to the ardent young French Canadian,. _ In no way can a man crossâ€"examine his soul more thoroughly than by sitting down | day in and day out to commit to paper for the perusal of others the opinions he thinks and entertains. In this way unâ€" doubtedly Mr, Laurier‘s political conâ€" victions gained clearness, certainty and strength. He returned to Quebec and resumed the study and practice of law. Had be remained in Journalism making reputations for a lot of brainless posers, who too often get into parliament by having wealth. _ Mr. Lauriee might never have been heard of. In 1868 he married Miss Lafontaine. _ Wth him a public career is not a mere accident, He had contemplated such a course as his life work and had prepared for it accord ingly, When, therefore, in 1871, he was elected to the Quebec Assembly as the Deputy for Drummoad and Athabasca, ' he entered the arena unu ually well equipped, _ Nor was the house long iu( remain in ignorance of the oratorical bliuie which the new member wielGed, It required no greyâ€"bearded polhtical ' seer to prophesy for the young member Wilfred Launrier first saw the light in the village of St. Lin, L/Assomption Quebec, fiftyâ€"one years ago.

DURHAM THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1896. Continued from last week. To be continued, ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO The forenoon and afternoon sessions were held in the Methodist church, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion, It proved altogether too small for the afternoon meeting as from 50 to to 100 never got inside. At one time it was seriously thought of having an overâ€" flow meeting, but this was not done. So the crowd sweltered and fanned themâ€" selves in great good humor all afternoon. The evening meeting was held in the Pres. Church, which was roomier, but et inadequate to accommodate comâ€" gorubly the large gathering, Holstein opened her heart and both her churches to the army of visitors. Some little local differences had existed, but the visitors were shown that Chrisâ€" tiin unity was a genuine thing in Holâ€" stein and that though divided in trivial matters they were a unit in welcoming the crowd of young Christian workets who hounered then: by their presence. For the tirst time all or nearly all, the delegates appeared with badges and the effect was excellent. _ Ayton, Crawford, Varney, Durham, Dromore, Holstein, East Normanby Woodland, Priceville Rocky Saugeen, Ventry and possibly others, were noticed, As will be seen below some of the societies are very strong, and as the Union has a memzfl'ship of over 1400, it miust be looked upon as a force for good not to be despised, especially since its efforts lie along lines intended to stimuâ€" late the work of the churches. In its eve:{y aspect it should be a power for good, as, in practice, it brings the enthusiasm of youth among the " forces that make for righteousness. " Friday last was the occasion of the fourth _ Semiâ€"Annual Convention of South Grey Local Union of Christian Endeavor, â€"According to arrangements made by the executive, Holstein was selected for the meeting, and their choice was agreeably conifzirmed by the largest attendance yet seen at any of the conventions. All these contests and some subseâ€" quent ones were fought on the open voting principle, and while few would wish a return to that old system there is this to be said for it, there was no spoiled votes in those days, and every man knew how his neighbor voted, reâ€" moving all distrust. HOLSTEIN MEETING of the Y. P. S. C. E. 1865. â€"George Jackson was again elccted, for the first time a straight fight taking place between the two parties, the Retorm Standard bearer being Sunider of Owen Sound. July 1861.â€"The general elections were brought on, Geo. Jackson Con., elected by 26. Opponents Messrs. Purdy and Gowan. March 1861.â€"Again a three cornered fight, Mr. Jesse T. Purdy, Ref., being election. _ IHis opponents were Mr. J. Morrison, a Baldwin Refornier but reâ€" cognized by some as a Liberal Conserâ€" vative, and Mr. Nassau Gowan, Con. The all absorbing topic at this and subâ€" sequent slections was "‘ rep. by pop., " which was finally secured by the Brit. North American Act of 1867. A Hot Day, but Enthusiastic Crowds. l 1859 6G0â€"Both years are given, as elections did not take place in one day as now, but extended over weeks someâ€" times. _ Mr. Jackson dropped out of this contest for some reason neither side secming to desire him as a candiâ€" date and when he appears again it is as a conservatiye. ‘This contest was fought on a religious ery and the Ind. Conservative, John Sherdian Hogan was elected by 144 majority, His opâ€" ponents were Mr. Rich. Carney now appearing as a Lib.â€"Conservative and Dr. Hamilton, Liberal. _ The violent death of Mr. Hogan caused a byeâ€" election which was held in 1854.â€"This first contest was a three cornered one and the burning question was the Secularization of the Clergy Reserves. Mr. George Jackson, then a reformer, took the popular view and was elected, his opponent being Mr. Chas Rankin, Conservative, and Richard Carney, Owen Sound, Indeâ€" pendent Conservative. We published last week the Dominâ€" ion elections tor this riding since 1867, and as these have been received with some interest we publish this week the elections previous to that date since the foundation of Grey as a separâ€" ate County. Those who are interested will clip these items out and paste toâ€" gether as a slight memento of the battles fought by a generation fast passing away. We are indebted largeâ€" ly for the information to the kindness: and the memmory of S. L. M. Luke, a jJournalist who took no mean share in ‘ the events of that time : \ County Grey in Canada West.

All of these were practical, Mrs, Brown‘s Perhaps the most popular feature of the day, was the * 8y.r.r:rmium " in which under different heads it was shown how the work for the coml,? }m could hbe made more effcient.

McInuis, Yeovil, takes an active interest in every gcod work and the society is indebted to him for an exâ€" cellent contribution in a paper on *«*What should be the aims and the ohâ€" jects of the Society." He divided his topic into 5 heads : our aim should fbe, 1. To cultivate the grace of Christianity among ourselves. 2. Give a knowledge of Scripture to our children, 8. Simmd the Gos«pel among the Heathen. 4. We should be instruments in God‘s hands to Save Souls,. 5, To live eonsiltentlfy with our professionsfin the sight of God. In the development of these heads. in themselves suweutive. Mr. â€"Mcelons gave much sound advice. Amos has 54 members, Hopeville 58, Holstein Meth. 73, Pres. 97, Hampden 61, Swinton Park, Meth,. 55, Pres. 52, Priceville Pres. 110, Yeovil Meth. 60, Fairbain, Pres. 94 and Woodland, Pres. last but greatest with 144. Two minute reports were then roadl from a large number of the branches, | most of themflmking very hopefully of ; their work and a few noting discourageâ€" | ments. This is one of the most helplnll parts of the meetings as comparison of | methods can be made and the good ones adopted. Did space permit some of these as our reporter jotted down would | be interesting but no doubt they were ; duly noted, l Secretary Miss Isanrc then gave the offcial report, She opened by stating the difficulty she has in receiving reports from some societies, though written to frequently and hoped for better returns in future. Some to whom blank forms had been sent were asked to fill them up and retuin. We quote verbatim a part of the report. “1 am pleased to report that since our last Conyvention in Hanover, three Societies have unâ€" ited, Fairbain, Holstein Presbyterian, and Cedarville Epworth League. Our: Union is now composed of 28 Societies, 0 Method‘st and 19 Presbyterians, The statistics of Membership are as follows : Methodist Active, 200; Associate 247. Pres, Active, 8l1; Associate, 352, makâ€" ing a total of 1419 members, All of Societies as far as I have been able to ascertain have been organized since 1891. Now in regard to Missions I hayn‘t heard from all ug the Societies but what I have heard from have contributed $169." | She closed a nice report by an a apâ€" peal for a continued increase of workers * For Christ and the Church. " C, E. Society was to cultivate a unity of Spirit, if not of organization, The unity of an urmr with many divisions but a common object, Tuese meetings were useful to sharpen their weapons and have their zeuf:nd enthu:ia m quickâ€" Miss Eetor, Rocky Saugeen, gave a carefully prepared Euperun *"*The Work and the Life." *Showing how one was affected by the other and luying down rhe principle that our Sayiout‘s light should be reflected ny us. Rev. Mr. Isarc, the pastor of the Churen gave the address of welcome in a heauttyfmanner, their reception was as warin as the weather which was sayin a great deal. HMe spoke at some l»ng(fi on ** Unity " and other Christian princiâ€" \)le, and was fertile in illustration,. Rev. Mr, McVicar, Dromore, gave the formal reply on behalf of the society, thanking them warmly, both for their hospitality and kind words, He said the aim of the was " Young people at work to save the young." Mr, Cooper finished a model address by reminding them that there was no standing still but they must choose eyery day for good,. In the afternoon Pres. Cooper read hiy iddress in which he emphasized that the motive of endeavorers should be to exalt Christ, they were there, not for a picnic, but to witness for a leader worthy of their loyalty. He looked upon the pledging of members asa business prinâ€" ciple, and peinted cut the case w th which spiritual duties were neglected, as a reagon for plet!ging. "The society n ds on e ies P is C TL 12 A hu}zer number met about 10 a, m. and held a typical prayer meeting and transaced _ some _ routine business The hand shakings and the reâ€" unions, be sure were not forgotten, A quartete from Hampden and some others fnve- musical selections with great feeling and ability.
