IHE DURHAM BHRUNiBLE METHODIST MINISTER OPPOSED T0 CHURCH UNION]? l Rev. B. Keefer. of Sydenham St.‘ Methodist church, Brantford, is opposed to church union, and has? told his congregation so, giving his reasons. He takes exception to two main clauses of the basis of 4 union. First of these is the removfi al of. the time limit of the :pastoral term. which, Rev. Mr. Keefer {holds destroys the Methodist itineraCY system with all its advantages Consentitng to this is more than: he cant do. .In the second ‘P'lfilcaihei holds that the orthodoxy of the- pulpit is not sufficiently guarded. The only condition a candidate for the ministry has to submit tol is to promise to preach nothing that is not agreeable to the Word of God. In addressing his icon- gregation, Rev. :Mr. Keefer said he thought the time was :not ripe for organic union, and predicted that in a few years there 'would be a more favorable basis arrived at. To force union :now would‘ cause dissemsion and create a‘ fourth church. One great bone of; contention was the property ques-i tion. One vote of gemeral confer: ence would turn over practically: all of the property of tthe Metho-Z dist church to the united body? not so the Presbyterian and lCon-' gregational churches. It would mean a similar situation to the1 “Wee Frees” in Scotlandâ€"a com-2 paratively few members could re- tain possession of the present property. '. He then discussed points submitted by those in favor of union touching on more candi- dates and money to further the work. He was in favor of federa- tion. or co-operation and this would bring about a more peaceâ€" ful and better union. i AND POVERTY. Eau-cation should ~aid men in the acquirement of \property. A course in the Agricultural College ought to do this. But does it? We have been an observer of farmers, of farms, of conditions, of about everything that surrounds the problems of farming here in iWis- cousin. for 54 years. We have seen young men by the hundreds, :farm peasants from Germany, with but little education in German, and none. in English, start in Without $10 in their pockets as hired men on farms. and in ‘20 or 25!, years thev would he the free owner of COLLEGE EDUCATION ‘eq nipped We fail to see the young man the. College sends out do the same. In most instances he is working at a salary in one teapaâ€" city or another. but he is not resolutely facing the problem of commencing at the bottom round of the ladder and in a few years owning a good farm. Now why? We are almostuready to believe that the pluck of poverty and ig- noran-ce is worth a good deal more than that of educationu to l'put a man. in possession of a farm. Does the «education our young :men get make them soft. afraid, and filled with high notions ‘2 We hope not. But nevertheless, we will back a poor German 'farm peasant lad to enter the race for the‘» own- ership of: a farm, unaided, and, in ‘20 years, come out ahead. Should education take away a man’s courage and disposition to make sacrifice ?â€"Hoard’s Dairyman. effect? A simiar question has already been asked by the Sun in regard to what we see here. It is a com- paratively rare thing to find a young man who has taken a four years’ course at the O. A '0. (going back to the farm. These \College men seem afraid to undertake the responsibility and Work attend- ant upon the handling of farms, now all fit for cultivation, which their fathers or grandfathers glad- WHY IS IT? In an article from Hoard’s Dairy- man, the question is raised as: to how it is that a poor German im- and customs can go out bare- handed and in twenty or cw enty- five years stand free of debt as the owner of a farm in the Western States, While American-bred boys, after taking a four years’ course at an Agricultural College, cannot, the coat or soiling the hands. ““7 Hoard-‘3 wants to know it Ian eugriul .N cultural college course, instead of 1118 developing a spirit of ma-nl'izness Y9! on.“ or at ‘least will not, do the. same.

Never lose sight of the inter- ests of your compatriots or of the f atherland. 2. Do not forget than when you buy a. foreign product. no matter if it is only a cent’s worth, you diminish the fatherland’s Wealth by iust so much. 3. Your money should profit only German merchants, and Ger- man workmen. 4. Do not profane German soil, a German house or a German workshop by using foreign ma- chines and tool-s. 5. Never allow to be served at your table forexgn fruits and meat. thus .wronging German growers, and moreovea', comprom- ising your health, as foreign meats 7. You should ‘be clothed only with German goods, and wear only German hats. 8. German flour, German fruits and German beer alone make Ger- man strength. 10.

Preachers are snuch privileged characters about the sick room that their going and coming at the Bruce (County Hospital ca lses little or no concern around the institution, and therefore when a preacher, accompanied by a young lady, visited that establish- ment last week, there was nothing in the! event to excite suspicion of cause an enquiry to be made into their errand. They were conse- quently admitted to the free- ward of the hospital, Where among others was a charity, or non-pay patient from lChesley, who was *un- dergoingfinreatment at the public expense. Making their way to the bedside of the C‘hesleyite, the. lady. the preacher and the patient were soon involved in earnest con- versation, at the end of which, the preacher struck an attitude, drew out his prayer book, and started in to read the sacred Word. The other patients in the room. t'hixnk- !

But the preacher read while they slept-and when he 'had fin- ished. it is said, two hearts ‘had been made one, Such is the story that leaked out some days after the event, and as the alleged bride on that occasion is reported to be a former Walkerton young lady, who has recently been resid- ing in :Chesley, the happening, besides being a unique one, is highly flavored with local interest. â€"Bruce Herald and Times.
