JOINT ECPWORTH â€" LEAGUE MEETING, The Epworth Leagues of Berlin and Waterlco Methodist cburches joined forees 25th inst and held a splendid meeting â€" in â€" the Waterloo church. After the usual Bible lesson : had been gone thiough with the programme was proceeded with and consisted of the following numbers. The subject of Dr Williamson‘s adâ€" dress was: "Powerful and Powerless Christians". He said some people who profess christianity possess the Holy Spirit but many do not. ‘This can be recognized in prayers. Some are clothed in sublime language which is pleasnt to the ears of the hearers Lat lacks the power of some which are uttered incoâ€" herently. He said he had noted a great dilicrence in the prayers of peoâ€" ple Dbefore and after recciving the blessing of the Holy Spirit though they said almost the same thing in their prayers. The â€" loly Spirit brings power to prayer, faith, speech and love. It greatly increases the power of utterance enabling many to speak readily who before thought it next to impossible for them to do so. The power of love needs increasing in all of us. There is altogether too much seliish love instead of s.'xéhficc. The love of God‘s work will take Christians into the slums and dark places of the earth to do his will and more powerfal \Christians are needed to do this.

UFFEL M A NN, Waterloo Home Journal, saye that ‘although the work of enumeration will be comâ€" pleted by the first of July, it will probâ€" ably be two or even three months later before the last of the schedules are reâ€" ceived at the Census Office; for not ouly muct they all be first examined by the supervisors, but in many cases they will probably require revision beâ€" cause of some error or informality. The actual counting of the people will not be done until the schedules are turned into the Census Office. The enumerators simply gather the facts, and the office foree in Washington does the counting and the compiling, which is done by electricity.
