P.

If they are satisfied with Mr Erb, his own par |j,; ty certainly is. He secured a UDaDiâ€" | ec mous nomination and as a Government de cundidate will sweep the riding. | Perâ€" | haps he will go in by acclamation. The Tories being so well satisfied with his record and having the interests of :} the country so much at heart should | p not oppose him. â€" We shall see. ‘That| C Mr Erb exercised an independent spiâ€" t rit, is in no way a aiscredit to him. '[l He differed from his leaders and voted | | accordingly. He was quite within his | L rights. He is not a worse Liberal for having done so. _ If an honest differâ€" : ence of opinion on the part of Mr Erb | | stamps his party as a menace to the| ; country what shall we say of the conâ€" I servative party within whose ranks § there was a bolt of seven cabinet minisâ€" : ters ?

Yet these very men who spent their time in unseemly ' cat and dog wrangling among themâ€"| selves while the country languished, are the same whom the Tories would have us place in power again. . It is a fact easily recollected that Mr E W B Snider, when a member of the Legisâ€" lature, occasionally voted against the Government, and had he been in the Dominion House instead of the present figurehead, might possibly have again exercised his independence. _ Yet Mt Snider has not been culogized by the Tories, nor considered a bad TLiberal by his own party.

INDEPENDENT MEMBERS Since attaining power four years ago ‘ the Government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier has accomplished the following: It settled the Manitoba School Quesâ€" tion which was the subject of so much racial and religious controversy and which seriously threatened the peace and welfare of the Dominion. It adopted a tariif which materially reduced the rate of taxation, promoted domestic aud foreign trade, did no inâ€" justice to any class and has been the means of restoring prosperity to the people. It granted the imports from Great Britain a substantial preference in the Canadian market over the imports from all other countries. This measâ€" ure was described in Great Britain as the most remarkable step yet made towards the unification of the Empirc. ‘Tt secured the denunciation of the German "and Belgain treaties which stood in the way of trade negotiations with Great Britain. It sent contingents of volunteers to help the Motherland in the Transvaal. The aggregate foreign trade of the country has increased in the three years to June 1899, since the Liberals came into power by $82.000,000, which increase is $16,000,000 in excess of the total increase during the period of 18 years when the Conservatives were in power. The reduction is customs taxation sinceo the new Liberal Tariff was adopted, has been not less than $5,â€" 000,000; to put it in other words, if the Conservative Tariff had been in operâ€" ation not less than $5,000,000 more customs taxation would have been imposed upon the people. THE GOVERNMENT‘S WORK Itrlrms fostered and stimulated the export trade particularly of the proâ€" duce of the farm. Within three years after the Liberal Government came into power the ¢zâ€" ports of the farm products of Canada increased by $19,000,000 and the inâ€" crease since has been amazing. _ Durâ€" ing the whole 18 years that the Conâ€" servatives were in power the increase was only $18,000,000. _ 3 _ In the last two fiscal years the surâ€" plus of revenue over ordinary expendiâ€" ture was over $6,000,000.

O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky but can ye not discern the signs of the times" Matt. XVIâ€"3.

But after all, there is a tendency toward Christian union and prayer circles are being revived. The preacher admonished his hearers to stand firm for truth would prevail. Rev. L H. Tafel, who has heen laboring as pastor of the New Jerusaâ€" lem Church in Rerlin and who is about to return to Philadelphia, preached his farexell sormon Sunday evening. He chose as his text the first verse of Psalims 127. â€" The sermon was a most able one. In it he emphasized the fact that the Lord mu-tg/mpur lives if we wish to make th successful. Unregenerate men centre all things in themselves, and try to benefit self first in all things. This is the devil‘s motto. We must acknowledge that God is everywhere and the Alpha and (mega of our very existence and our thought should be "What can I do to perform thé trust given me by the Lord.". The chiefend of man should be to do good. Fight against lusts and evil desires. . Hell rules the world, we must be born again or we cannot see the Kingdom of God. The man who teaches that man is naturally rational is the worst enemy of manâ€" kind. â€"If we surrender our all to the Divine Will we will be forever blessed. At the conclusion of his sermon he said the time spent in Berlin were years of great satisfaction. He thanked the church people for th '{;‘“ kindness they had shown himself and family during all that time and expressed the hope that the Church here would conâ€" tinue to , under the Rev. F. W.
