itll? 'v/f-rf-NOT"' _ T GET mm was " FOR YOUR PR0lT0lC? I had planned to return the roll at this meeting and ask the council to authorize me to collect the few stragglers, but on looking into the statute lately I see that levy cannot be authorized after the roll is return- ed. For this cause I ask that you grant a further extension from Janu- uary 15, say for a month. With a. resolution dealing with the list Ttter- redito, I can return the roll to the Treasurer as soon as the money is in, which I wish to do. . Re tax item of $960.79 under dis- cussion at the December council: Fol- lowing that meeting I deemed it emi- nently fitting to deal with the taxpay- ers direct and ignore an intermediary. In fairness to the parties would say that they did not authorize or expeet a request to be made to that council. This sum was paid Jan. 3rd, and I appreciate the courtesy of the persons taxed.. \ Mr. Greenwood, of Maria St., re- sponds to.courtesy with insolent de- fiance, relying on his interview with the December council. I warned him that I wouid get my orders and it to be collected would proceed to do so without further notice. In the ab- sence of instructions from you to the contrary I shall proceed. t ’The items first mentioned above, totalling' $643.61, I think you will Coll- cur in authorizing me to return not collected, when other amounts are in. Some may be paid in the meantime, if promises are good. I ask the favor of a resolution to-might covering all or part of this $643.61, which is llsted in detail on a, separate sheet with a note to each item. Since writing the report, $123.14 of this is in the mail, reducing' the list down to $273.44. A list ot these with notes is attached for reference. This" group will be all paid in shortly.

TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON The best apologetic ot the Gospel, said Mr. Young in his sermon in the \Islington Methodist Church last Sun- day morning, is a live Christian; the I best evidence gt Christianity is to see , it at work. ' n the first century a 'world full of sin and impurity was struck with the beauty and purity and _ fidelity of Christians. Powers arose and tre& to quench Christianity. In the very cradle of the faith, Mahoha- medanism conquered and seemed'to be about to sweep all things also from the face of the earth. Gregory the Great had sent’missionaries to Bri, tain and into the forests of Wj%, Europe and won such converts to the Cross that these checked the advanc- ing hosts of the Farcens. Enemies tried to burn the Bible and deny its power. One modern Society alone has printed and distributed nearly two hundred millions of copies of the Scriptures, And to-day, while Pub- lishers of other books areslow to 4)r'0- duce, the printing _presses of the Bibles are running overtime. To-day the livest faith, warmest love and greatest hopefulness ard found where the Gospel truth is most zealously proclaimed. Perhaps our greatest testimonies. ot its wondrous power come to-day from tht mission fields, where the sharp contrast between pa- gan and Christian life are is most Viv- id and most quickly and convincingly perceived. I Mr. Young told a story of converted Indians being married in a church. The old grandparents were brought in to witness the ceremony. At the close of the Service the minister said to the groom, "Salute your bride," and saw that the bride was properly kissed. As she saw this, the old grandmother leaned over to her griz- zled husband and said, "You never did/hat to me!" ' There is a depth of pathos in that remark. said Mr. Young. Paganism knoWs nothing of the sweetness of love nor anything of the beauty of life that Christianity teaches, calls out and sanctifies. The best sermons preached on the mission fields to-day are preached by Christian men and women living Christian lives and con- ducting Christian homes. The living Gospel is the best of Christian evi- dences. T Mr. w. E.‘Pinchin, of Vancouver, B. C., a member of the General Board of Sunday Schools and Young Peo- ple's Societies. spent last Sunday with his brother on Kipling Ave. At the evening service in the Plirurton Meth- odist Church he brought a cheery message of what the Methodist on the other side of the Rockies are do- ing. This S. S. Board is now in ses- sion at the Book 1toorrr-and deals with a very important‘phase of Chris- tian work. T The Methodists of Islington pup- Dose having a "Friendly Hour" after the Sunday evening service, such as has become so popular in some of the city churches. An interesting debate on “Free Trade for Canada" was held by the Epworth League last Monday even- ing. Miss Fife presided. The debat- ers were Messrs) Stanley Evans and James Moore versus Russell Fife and John Moore. In delivering the de- cision'of the" judges, Mr. Jleamish made an interesting speech and said that the judges thought the negative had made the better of their side. Several musical numbers were enjoy- eds, and a singsong indulged in. Re- freshments were served and a very pleasant hour enjoyed. Next Monday an interesting meeting is promised. The monthly meeting of the TN'onl- en's Institute will be held on Thurs- day of this week at the.home of Mrs. A. B. Jbhnstone. A paper on the work " the Humane Society by Miss V. Evans and a paper on Co-Opera- tion between Home and School, by Mrs. R. H. Tier, will form the pro- gram. A cordial invitation to all. With a view of cementing' a com- munity spirit, a Community Social Service Committee has been formed and meeting of a socal and education-- al feature and to be held in the new school building every two weeks. Every four weeks a lecture in ConneC- tion with the University Extension Course. The introductory meeting will be held this week, on Friday night, vihen it is hoped everyone will turn on , so as. to give the movement a good start and encourage those in charge. An illustrated lecture, by J. A. L. McPherson will‘furnish the pro- gram. On Friday, the letfProf. Chant of Toronto University will g:ive a lecture ‘on astronomy, and on the first Friday in February a Mock Parliament will be put‘on by local friends. It is the intention of the committee to secure speakers from the University, Jack Minor, bird man of Canada, illustrated talks from Can- on Green and Re'v. Young and other high class talent for these community evenings. The following are in the committee in charge: Rev. Canon Green, Rev. C. IV. Holdsworth, Rev. E. R. Young, Mr. Beamish, principal of Scarlett Plains School, "Walter Moorehouse, Mr. Pralt, principal of Islington School and the three assis- tant teachers, Misses Fife, Carr and Elford, Fr also the school trustees, Messrs.

Young whl speak on "The Masters of the Keys.” A surprise party of neighbors and friends arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. IV. McKenzie, Floor St., Is- lington, to see the old year out and the new year in. During the first part of the evening games were play- ed, and at 12 o'clock, asgghe bells and whistles pealed forth farewell to the pasing guest and welcomed the birth of another year, luncheon was served, the toasts proposed being promptly responded to. ‘Dancing was then en- gaged in till the wee small hours of the morning, when farewells were given, accompanied by a hearty vote of thanks to the host and hostess.
