The addresses of wel- come were delivered by Rey. H. Penna and Mr. Norman J. McDonald. They were both excellent and well received. Mr. | McDorald gave a review of the progress of the little town during the last thirty years |and showed wondertul growth aad im- {;rovement. One remark he made, which | wast) the effect that the people had a | very large amount to their credit at the bank, gave room for many a shot from the [The Kev. Mr. speakers who followed. his usual happy, Sutnerland replied ia enthusiastic manner. Ihe Rev. Mr. Geggie has been a grand addition to this convention and his address* es have thrilled thrilled and encouraged | the young people to go forth to grander | work thanever. The Rev. Mr. Wight- man’s address on‘*Soul Winning” wasa good one and well received. Wednesday moruing’s suprise prayer meeting was held at 6.30 to 7.30 in the Methodist Church and was wel! attended. Mellish, of Halifax, led the meeting. At 9 a.m., Miss Marv White, of this city, led the prayer service. Tbe report of the Rev. Mr. McCurdy, Genera! Super- intendent, was an excellent one and showed the socielies to have increased fifty per cent during the year. There are 69 societies and a total of 2,722 members and four junior societies. They are distributed as follows: Presbyterian, 51 societies, 1919 members; Methodist 12 societies, 583 members; Epiecopalian, | society, 30 mem- bers; Disciples, 3 societies, 55 members; Union, 2 societies, 78 members. There had only been 156 added to the church or aa average of 24 per society. The address by Rev. H. K. Parrsboro, on “How does the C. E. Move- ment Cultivats Character,” was an excel- lentone. The nominating committee re- ported the following officers for the year, and the induction of the president took place at once: President—Rev. W. J. Kirby. Vice President fo: Queen’s—Rev, D. Sutherland. Vice President for Prince—Rey. RK. H. Stevenson. Vice President for Kings—Rev. W. H, Warren. Recording Secretary — Rev. T. A. Wightman. Treasurer— J. J. Chappell.

On the introduction of the new Presid- ent, he gave the Convention the Motto Text for the year: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” The other sessions were presided over by the new Presideat and the further proceedings WwW... were very much enjoyed. The papers were all so good it is impossible to make any distinction, ashe Rey. Benjamin Chappell, M. A., Dean of the School of Theology Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan, was very interesting, as he replied to the many questions on various phaces of the Japanese work which had been placed in the question box. Last night’s meeting will not soon be | forgotten. The church was packed to its very utmost capacity and the attention was held tothe end. We regret that s; forbids saying more than that it was al! excellent, and crowned with a most im pres- s ve Consecration service led by Rev. Mr. Geggie. The Convent:ou closed by singing ‘God be with you till we meet again,” and the Mispah Benediction by the President and Convention ia union. The choir rendered some choice music, and the leader, Mr. Hugh McLean, sang one or two solos which were beyond the common. Votes of thanks to railway, steamboats, hosts avd ho-tesses, churches and pastors, brought one of the best Conventions which we have ever attended, to a clove. oS eee Space Royal makes the food pure, wholesome and delicious, — Absolutely Pure ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. of | ; : Saal : i Lt A Saaw, No 6, 82nd, $6, 5d McLean, of before Saturday, ; much to interest them, apart from RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
