McFarlane, of the lobster boat Old Northumberland. Capt. Tom reports the monster as going at a terriflic rate of speed, with two or three feet of its head out of water. It was going in an easterly direction, and coming up the Straits. About 10 or 15 feet from its head was a large fin out of water. Abcut 30 or 40 feet from its head was a large wave following the aflimal, which Tora thinks was the animal's tail. The part that was out of water was not iarger, 4s Tom described it, than a six inch stovepipe, and he had a good look at the monster, as he was quite close to it.—Miramichi Advance. _--2S>-- — A Batuvurst, N. B., despatch of the 4th inst, says :—‘*Messrs. Hackett, Ogden, Dea- con and Duvar, the commissioners appointed to enquire into the state of the lobster fisher- ies, arrived here to-day and proceeded to Cacaquet. They will interview the principal lobster packers throughout the county, and report as to the best means of protecting this important industry. It is to be hoped that their report will be productive of much good, aa the lobster fishery has been on the wane for the past few years on account of the sea- son being too long. The number of small lobsters taken toward the end of the close season is becoming rather alarming, and the government does well to enquire into the manner in which it has been used or abused.” cine L 0. O. F.— The Grand jLodge of the Lower Provinces of British North America, meets at New Glasgow, N.S., on Wednesday next, 10th int. The local grand officers, Theo. L, Chappelle, Grand Conductor, and Jas. R. McKie, Grand Marshal, with repre- sentatives from Summerside and a portion of the city representation leave on Monday morn- ing. The balance of the delegation go on Wednesday. The committee of management of whom Robert Hockin, ex-M. P. P. for Pictou County, is Secretary, are making extensive preparations to give the visitors a hearty reception. An excursion, together with visits to places of interest, form a part of the excellent programme. It is expected that the attendance at the present session will be the largest in the history of this order in this juri in, portion of scripture and engaged in prayer. | After reading minutes, the report and financial statement of the Executive Co.- mittee of the Maritime Provinces was read by W. H. Wiswell. The report congratu- lated the Conveution on the progress of the work, there being an increase of six Asso- clations. lt dwelt upen the Travelling Secretary's engagement and work, the con- tinued interest manifested by the Interna- tional Comimittee,the great blessing attend- ing the observance of the week of prayer for young men, commended to the dele- gates the publications of the International Executive and the various branches of As- sociation work, and the Watchmen of Chi- cago, as being most helpful in prosecuting the important work we have in hand. The financial report showed that a liberal _pro- vision had been made for the Travelling Secretary, while the orlinary expenses oi i} exe cutive showed considerable deficit. This report was on motion referred to a special committee to report at a future ineeting. After a short season spent in singing and prayer the topic of ** Railway Work ” was taken up by E. D. Ingersoll. He spoke in glowing terms of the great results of the evangelical work of Messrs. Meikle and Gerrior among _ rail- way men, which, he said, taking into con- sideration the number of railway men in the provinces, exceeded anything of the kind within his knowledge. He spoke of the efforts which -had been made by the railway men to extend their work by means of a newspaper and delegates, and of the failure of these owing to want of time and other causes on the part of the men themselves. He referred to the experience of the United States as to the value of union between Y. M.C. A. and railway mien in this work, and instanced the happy results which had followed such a union at Moncton. Reports from several railway delegates followed, from which it appeared Charlottetown had now the most railway work going on. Other points spoke of more or less success. At the close of these reports, Mr. Ingers ll said that the day of union was coming; that union did not mean the annihilation railway work, but on the contrary solidation and increase. The Y. fully recognized the importance § and necessity of work railway men by railway men, and made a separate department of their work. He said that while the full tide of success lasted these organizations stood alone, but when enthusi- asim flagged they would recognize the value of help, and that while the Y. M. C. A. earnestly desired union as more effectually carrying out the work, and realizing the Master's prayer for unity there was no dis- position to press the matter upon those who are unwilling. Wesay God speed their Work. Pror. Forrest spoke of the grand resuits which had attended the union of Dalhousie College Association with the Y. M. C. A., and said that the special work for students had been deepened and increased. D. McDonap, Pictou, gave the same testimony as to the work in Pictou Acade- my. The matter wasthen referred to a joint committee of Railway and Association men to draft a resolution on the subject. Mr. McLeop, Travelling Secretary, then presented his report of sever months’ work. His aim had been rather to strengthen existing Associations than to organize new ones. He had aimed to impress upon the members the importance of Bible study, steady work, the larger use of the educa- tional, physical and social advantages of our Associations, to enlist the sympathy and support of pastors and leading men, and on the whole he reported a large mea- sure of success. He urged greater care in the selection of officers, the formation of district committees for conference and visitation, the circulation of the Interna- tional Executive Committee’s publications and the Y. M. C. A. Watchman, aggressive work among young men by young men, aud above all the imperative need of God’s grace. Tie Summerside Association invited the Convention to an excursion on the harbor. Owing tothe amount of work before the Convention, the members, while deeply sensible of the kinduess of the Summerside brethern, felt compelled to decline. The session closed by singing the dox- ology. that t ool successful goi of its con- pe. GA. for it FRIDAY EVENING. Convention met at 7.39, and after half an hours’ devotional exercises the took the chair, and the session opened by singing the hynan ‘* Sing Them Over Again to Me,” after which Rev. Dr. Bruce read John 17., and engaged in prayer. After reading Minutes, a resolution of regret at the absence of John S. McLean, of Hali- fax, sympathizing with him in his affliction, praying tor his restoration to health, and that God's blessing may rest upon This resolution was unanimously adopted by a rising vote, and the meeting sang ‘** Blessed be the Tie that Binds.” The discussion of the topic ** Bible Study an Essential Part of Association Work,” was then opened by Professor Foz1 of Halifax, in a very able address. of what the Bible is—of our relations to it —of God’s object in giving it being our rule of faith and, est, to earnestly studied. He referred to its stated that, ledying the duty of Bible study, Referring to the advancement of evangel- istic work in the last quarter of a century and to the success of the work, he spoke oi the danger of neglecting systematic study of the Scriptures as the great ' Spirit.” Heregretted that Association Bible i Classes were,to such a large extent failures.

He said 310 Associations report 410 Bible Classes for young men only ; 262 report 380 training classes for the study of the Bible. He described a training class at one of the Western Couventions, showing how much ignorance of facts connected w:th the Bible existed, even among those who might be expected to know all aboutit. The leader of the class asked the members to deal with him as if he were an enquirer after truth, showing how unprepared men usually were to deal with such cases. The leader then gave an exhibition of how to deal with an enquirer, referring every doubt to the word of God. The result of the whole was that a large number of ministers and others began to classes for training. Mr. Ingersoll then showed, irom the result of the establishment of such cfasses in one of American Associations, what a blessed and protitable work it was. He illustrated the same thing from the ex- perienc one of the Professors of Prince- ton, wlio was so impressed with the result of training classes that he asked that ke receive such training as to tit him for work among young men. An auimated discussion then followed in which «a number of delegates participated. Kvery one who had attended chose training sé ke ome W ander, f. r vpen sucil , tne ¢ eon classes testified to the value of thein, and urged associations who had not already established them to do so at once. As the outcume of the discussion the desire was expressed to have a sample training class betore the close of convention, con- ducted by E. D. Ingersoll, but owing to the pressure of business before the conven- tion it was found impossible to do so. The interest of the meetings is daily increas- ing. Large and deeply interested audiences gather at all the meetings, and it is evident that the good people of Summerside are determined to enjoy the meetings and profit by the lessens to be learned at the convention. The only drawback seems to be the shortness of time at the disposal of the convention. } Oo. 6 bail DIED. At North River, on the 2nd inst, of enlarge- ment of the heart, John Collins, aged 16 years.
