The change would give to Boston an im- petus such, perhaps, as she has never be- fore known, for her geographical position is such that she could not fail to be the great receiving and distributing centre of a trade area extending from the Guif of St. Lawrence to Lake Huron. This is nota wild speculation; it is but the logical conciusion to be reached from a study of the causes that have led to the growth of the world’s great centres of population, And this being the case, it is to ve hoped that every influence that can be aroused

Tbe U. S. Secretary of Agriculture in his last report remarks: ‘*No one could forsee that facilities of a would have in- creased so rapidly as to destroy the Huastern ‘farmers’ market by the influx of produce from the West.” But such he states is the case, and every new statistical report shows us the rapidiy declining value of farm pro- “7 in the Eastern States. If, then, the

vod of the Western produce has destroved the agriculture of the Eastern States with their favorable climate and trade relations, what will it do with the agriculture of tiuese northern provinces, buried in snow and ice for half the year? Under Reciprocity, it would simply wipe us out as a colony of , farmers, and leave our land to be held by a few miserable chicken raisers and fishermen. The United States, as has been said by others, is the greatest sgricultural country in the world. It is overburdened with produce, exporting $530,000,000 worthanrually. Toftake our farm produce there is verily ‘‘oarrying salt to the sea shore.”

ment with the States, in 1854, agricultural produce was bigh there. Wheatthen brought $1.40 a bushel, now it is only 70 eents, and

whatever encouragement can be given to Secretary Blaine, or to any other official leader in this undertaking, will be heartily and freely extended.

John Read was called to the chair. Afver singing ‘*Blest be the tie that binds,” Rev. D. Sutherland led in prayer. The chairman then stated in a few well chosen words, that the object of the meeting was to consider the practicability of organizing for joint Bible study and for any other purpose in connection wich improve- ment in Sabbath School work deemed advis- able.

Representatives from the different schools spoke in favor of the project and it was un-
