Dixon, had been trained in imnnsic and elocution, and the rendition of the proâ€" gram showed me how successful had been the efforts of both teacher and scholars. Quite & number of the oldur‘ people of the section were present, and | vxpressetl their satisfaction with the manner the children preformed â€" their | parts. For two hours the children read, recited and sang their school songs in chorus without any hesitation or nervâ€" | ousness which often overcomes their elders, and at the close Mr. C. Firth, the senior trustee presented the cert.ficates ‘to the successful candidates at the enâ€" i trance examinations of last June. The visitors were then called upon and brief ‘ address were giyen by Messrs. Thos. Mcâ€" \ Comb, A. C,. Beaton, J. McGillivray, G. | Binnie and the trustees,.

COnatswortTtH SBTtacrk REsTORED.â€" Greatly to the delight of a large number in Rocky Saugeen, Domnoch and places near, the new arrangement of mail carrying is to be done away with in a short time and the old system restored. It has been found no doubt that the saving was inconsiderable. Mr,. McFar® lane‘s well known ‘"auy one going north" last Monday morning, sounded quite pleasantly across the way. Now with Merritt restored, everybody would be happy. The Johuston brothers of South Benâ€" tinck, have just finished threshing for the farmers on the Garafraxa Road, north of town, They were introduced by Mr, Jim Watson and the neighbors feel grateful to him for the good work they have done, as they never had a machine or men that gave such excelâ€" lent satisfaction,. _ Their new engine worked like a charm." As the roads were bad on Saturday, Mr, Watson and Mr. Wim. Vassie jr., took their teams and doubled them as far as Allan Park, where they have six week‘s work yet. W.F.M.S8, LeEorun®.â€"Seldo h as a Durhaim audience had such & treat in the way of a lecture as that delivered by Miss (Dr.) McKellar in the Presbyâ€" terian Church last Wednesday night. The lecture was brimful of interesting matter, and when this was told by a clear, atiractive talker, animated withâ€" out being in the least sensational, its interest was greatly added to. Miss Mcâ€" Kollar came home from India last spring by way of the Pacific Qcean. and is spending a part of her furlough in a way for which she is entivrely,fitted. By the aid of a map a clear idea of the geoâ€" graphical situation was obtained, and \gmphw description supplied the rest. The blackest picture of the famine and l the plague was not overdrawn and she read Amos 6, as almost literally describâ€" ing India during the past 10 months. She scored the British Government for ‘ the sips of the opium traffic, maintained i to provide a revenuse whereas if whent ! growing had been followed more would bhave been saved this veur than the opiuin revenue comes to, AIue missionâ€" aries have adopted hundreas of children in the extremity and these may yet be the blessing that comes from the calamâ€" ity. The worship of the Hindoos was shown to be most degrading : to kill a the blessing that comes irom the caulamâ€" ity. The worship of the Hindoos was shown to be most degrading : to kill a cow or a monkey being a greater crime than to kill a woman: to die on a mud floor beside the cows was the pious aim of a trne Hindoo, to die on a bed being a disgrace. â€" The 80000 Brahmin priests, the dirty sacred cities, the holy rivers and horrid rites were all described, and sufferings, even yet, of 25,000,000 widows half of them under 12 yrs., formed a harrowing tale; 40,000,000 women in zenanas who never seea flower or a green thing and the practice of polyâ€" gamy are other instances of the degreâ€" dation of women which curses India, What a foregis caste! The missionaries may educate the children but, when they give them candy a Brahmin must be usad to buy it and give it to them 1 Eveo in the hospitals death would be chosen rather than break the caste. Amongst the difficulties they had was the presence of soldiers whose godless lives told against their work, â€"50.000,000 Mahommedans in India, extremely touchy to Gt. Britain, conceited beyond measure, totally unprogressive. Only 1} milions of Christians to stand against these hosts. She closed by a most pathâ€" etic and effective appeal to women in happier lands to spend and be spent more in the interests of their Master whoce command to preach the gospel to all was of equal foree with the command to "do this in remembrance of _ me." Many forcible appeals were summed up intwo quotations which she emphasized: "The light that shines fartest shines } brightest at home" and in this consecraâ€" tion yerse : "#I Pvill go where you want me to go Over mountains and stream, and sea I will say what you want me to say I will be what you want me to be." | Mr. Allan cceupied the chair, the choir gave some nice selections and a free colâ€" lection amounted to $9.28.

But who shall tell of the flow of wit made by Dutch, Irish English and Seotch enthusiasts? of Tory blowing or Grit boasting ? Serves those who were‘nt there right, for the treat they‘ve missâ€" ed. When the finances were summed up it was found that free offerings, collections, &e., had only«left a debt of £40 on the church, and Mr. Miller with a tacttul persistence succeeded in raising the amount from the audience before going home, and this delightful result was grected with applause.

Mrs. Stewart Belmore gave a reading on "Child wiges and widows of India." A very interesting address was delivâ€" ered by the Pev, Norman Russell, at che afternoon session, > snoke particularly of "Work for women by women." lie says we cannot have any idea of the trials and bardships our lady missionarâ€" ies have to overcome, first and foremost | is the natural aversion to these punrl people, who are lost to every senâ€"e of | virtue and purity. Also the difficulties of mastering the language and the loss of many ccmforts and even necessaries to which they bhave been accustomed, often times having to teach in a hovel which we would not congider large enough for a pig pen,. ln the evening Mr. Russell gave panoramic views of his work in lu«,fi:\. also showing us many samples of the idols which the people worship and as he says when we know that these characters are worshipped for such things as stealing, lying, impunity of life and all such evils, we cannot wonder that the moral life of the people has reached such a low state of degiaâ€" dation.
