Our s in musical talent, though a few of the old standâ€"byes are absent. It was generally admitted that for raw levies, such as many of them are. they performed their part with conâ€" siderable steadiness and ability, and the coming two weeks will no doubt add largely to the already effective appearance the of men, and at the same time it must be admitted, will test the stamina of some of the young lads who for the first time go ‘"to play at soldiers." the D lengt Regreis are expressed that Jack Saunders is not going this time, his son Charlie is cook, and can cook, but thara i~ aslew ana Toal EarlyTuesday morning the company gathered at the Drillshed and after some preliminary drill marched to the station where a large number includâ€" ing "the girl I left behind me" were assembled to give them a send off. The company lacks oniy one or two of its full strength, and Lieut. Galbraith anticipates they will give a good acâ€" count of themselves. * T, Whalen carries the musical baten to perfection. Very nice and proper it is to see our bovs off, but some steps are being taken to recognize their home coming in a more substantial way than has hitherto been the gasg. We hoge this move will be akccessfal, and that, in line with other localities our ladies may provide a pleasant hour, with reâ€" freshments, for the boys after two weeks of rough camp life. 1€ The Company was added to at Varney by 5 members and the usual pleasantries made the way seem short to Mt. Forest. Here their company got on and rather took the wind out of our sails when we learned their County Council gives them 40cts a day while our penurious body haye taken away even our 25cts! Our boys are in danger of becoming vain owing to the flattery they are getting. Red coats are attractive but x trouble to keep clean. Fascination about train riding even to thoserwho are not on tor the first time! It recalls early memories. To have your tare paid is nice too ! At Palmerston we parted company with the Mt. Forest Company who go to London. They would rather go with us, and some are bound to join Durham next year. They were in charge of Capt Coyne and Lieut. Perry and are stalwart tellows. Crops look well enroute but wild mustard is a terrible plague. Every station has abundance of farming imâ€" plements betokening prosperity. 101 Mr. D.

At the Winnipeg meeting of the Asâ€" sembly in 1887 some radical changes were made in the conduct of Foreign Mission work in India, and these have given rise to serious differences of opinâ€" ion among the missionaries themselves. Communications from them were read taking diverse views and the whole matter was placed in the hands of a special committee. Reports from the Eastern and Westâ€" ern Sections of the Home Mission Comâ€" mittee were read. The Eastern Secâ€" tion is steadily progressing, but the Western Section report as given in a "Dbrilliant and inspiring" address by the Convener Dr. Cochrane was a feaâ€" ture of the meeting. This section inâ€" cludes our own provinee and the great West and Northwest as far as the golâ€" den Klondyke, and the work of followâ€" ing a moving population into new fields seems to have been successfully done. It was pointed out that the churches of the great republic had negâ€" lected to do this, and to the neglect Was attributable the wild and lawless character of some of their western 1C gions. The great lack is trained men, and the expense is always large and needs liberality. A fatal bicycle accident to a youUnf minister named Grant from N. Scotis, gave occasion for some laudatory speeches and & severe condemnation of the Montreal Morgue, The subject of Prohibition was introâ€" duced through the report of the Comâ€" mittee on Church life and work. _ It was seconded by Hon C. W. Ross, in an eloquent speech. His reference to the clause relating to the liquor traffic was as follows : He also approved of the clear and emphatic deliverance upon the liquor traffic. _ It would not do that the Presâ€" byterian Church should be behind, should take low ground on such a quesâ€" tion. Owing tothe plebiscite this is an important year We shall know whether temperance efforts have suffiâ€" ciently ripened the public mind of Canâ€" ada. We need not fear the organized | power of the liquor traffic if we are orâ€". ganized ourselves. It has been said that if prohibition were enacted â€" it would not be practicable. He did not so construe British legislation. A proâ€" hibitory law is an educative law, like other Jaws, and in the meantime the few infractions of it must be endured. It is a serious thing to incur the responâ€" sibility of such a law, but if we are not prepared for such responsibuities we must stand aside. Surely we will not hesitate now to go forward, but we must prepare eurselves for the struggle | by an intelligent discussion of the whole question. i _ Principal MacVicar made an elo%u- ‘ ent reply to the objection raised by I Principal Grant. Principal Grant was at once on his feet and in an energetic speech condemned the prohibition clause. ‘Speaking, he said, with a profound sense of his responsibility, he moved in amendment that the report be referred back with the request that the paraâ€" graph be struck out." GENERAL ASSEMEBLY NOTES His sympathy with temperance was so great that he did not like to eppose even unwise and exploded metgods, and therefore did not Istpeak except when the issue arose. e spoke last at the Assembly of 1885, because the Assembly persisted that the Scott act was the one effectual means. The Senate bad proposed certain amendâ€" ments, which the committee op{)osed, urging that intemrerance would be crushed it they could only get the Sceott act. He had seen several such laws relegated to the realm of exploded superstition and prophesied that such would be the fate of the Scott act. His prophecy had come true, and the fate of the Scott act should teach the Assembly a little moderation. At a later stage Principal Grant obâ€" jected to clause 5 declaring that total legal prohibition is the true goal of all efficient temperance legislation. He meved an amendment emphasizing the evilsof strong drink an(f adding tnat it was one of the worthiest aims of Christian philanthropy to reduce these evils by wise legisiation. Mr. G. F. Johnson of Fredricton seconded the amendment, giving his experience of firohibitory laws in New Brunswick. e said that the eight druggists of Fredricton, who were g‘e- quently fined for selling liquor, were as much thought off as any other busiâ€" ness men in the city and this showed the disastrous effect upon public epinâ€" ion of the failure to enforce such a law. Mr. B. Mullen strongly supported the clause as it stood and claimed that the agitation for the Seott and ether prohibitory laws had lifted the whole country to a higher plane. Prohibition Discussed Mr. Cassils thought they should yote on prohibition as citizens, but not in the Assembly, which had no jurisdicâ€" tion over the question. Mr. Walter Paul made a brief adâ€" dress in favor of prohibition. The vote was then taken, _ Principal Grant‘s amendment was oyerwhelmingly deâ€" feated, only about a dozen voting for it. 8 Hood‘s Is the bestâ€"in fact the One True Blood Purifier, e VBe AEAEVVACEE y N TCO ARCICE p lt ons iy. He proceeded to reply to some of the arguments of Principal MacVicar, when objection was raised that a past debate could not be referred to, and the point was sustained by the moderâ€" MKood‘s Pills ator. Principal Grant then briefly argued that they should not be asked to yote solid on one sde, as if it was a sin to vote on the other. He thought every elector should exercise his frachise on the subject intelligently and conscientâ€" ionsly. Head and Limks Rev. L. H. Jordan seconded the amendment, but it met a similar fate to the other. The remaining clauses were quickly adopted the Assembly adjourned. Tho Council of the Township of Glenelg, met as a Court of Revision on May 28th, all the members present. _ Mr. Staples was voted to the chair.
