THE DAILY WHIG, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2. CITY MISSION. THE REPORT OF REV. R. M. HAMMOND, Work Done During the Year Was Promising--Some Cases Cited --Summary of Visits. Another year of our city mission work having closed, we met to look over' its record and to arrange for futurd work. It it very proper that the friends and supporters of the mis- sion should know what is, being done through their agency. | think that we may well regard it as a hopeful sign of our time that there is such a erowing interest in all Christian missionary work, whether it he home or foreign. A wiissionary convention, lately held in Montreal, strongly emphasized the value of home aflirming that the great "Go ye into all. the world, ete." did not simply mean go into India, into China, South Af- rica--it meant as well, ve into the sorely needed missipn at vour very doors." During the past year, notwithstand- discouragement, I am thank- ful to say we have been cheered by the Master's presence. The thought of being even in a humble sHellow helpers to the truth," workers togeth- er with the Lord of the vineyard, is surely inspiring. We have also had pleasant and helpful fellowship with Christian workers of the different de- nominations. During the year death hos claimed a number of our valued friends and supporters of the mission One of these was the late Principal Grant, whose character and work were so fittingly commemorated, a short time ago, in this city, a man, not oily of great ability, but of broad Christian charity,--ever ready, with a kindly, helping hand, where help was ded. Col. Duff, Mr. Laidlaw, Mcleod, and the Rev. Mr, Rich- who was with us at our last meeting. These have all gone to their reward. We miss their Kindly. interest and help, but they have left the pri legacy of a good name and a cood. example. Their removal calls us to greater diligence in all good work, while the day lasts. Notwithstanding th se and other removals, our have jpeen about made wp by members, and we report an increase in the number of services held, and in the number of calls made.

" The ed to cheer the young soldier, and, is hoped, helped him to see that true life, with such possibilities prospects, "well worth living.' "Returning front my work on Sabbath afternoons, I often met groups of boys at their sports on the common. I gave them some kindly advice on "Sabbath observance," on the dangers of the poisonous cigarette and liquor, the im- portance of attending Sabbath school and church, shunning bad company, and building up pure and noble char acters. They usually listen with at- tention and respect, and seem pleased with the good reading 1 give them. Should not church and state every- where join hands to banish the saloon and the cigarette, and save the boys, who are the nation's most precious possession ? Anyone who doubts whether the sa- loon and the bar should be wiped out, can have his doubts removed by spending a few months in mission work, in any of our cities, witnessing, as I have done scenes like this: ther with an infant in her arms, and a number of half-naked children around her, one of them not merely crying, but screaming from cold and hun no fuel but sonie pieces of broken boards.

I have offered," said, "to support myself apd my four children, with nis own hands, if mv hushand would only cive up the saloon and the drink." Can we wonder, in view of the suffering that some women are so earnest for the richt to vote for the men who are charged with the making and exe cution of laws ?

Hicks 'Has to Say--There Will be .Frequent Changes and Rain and Snow. The centre of a regular Vulcan storm period falls on the 2nd, the moon be- ing in apogee on the same day. As the month comes in the temperature will be changing to warmer in western parts, the barometer will fall first in the same sections, and from the 2nd to the 4th inclusive, cloudiness, with rain and snow, will pass eastwardly across the country. If you find the weather growing warm and bright east of the storm centre, don't be put off your guard. Keep an eye on your barometer and hygrometer and be ready for the approach of the rain and snow chariots, which are pretty sure to arrive, pressed close on the western flanks by some stiff, boreal winds and big drop in temperature. "Any intelli- gent, impartial observer will see that these weather pulsations, which we call storm periods, are uniform in, their periodicity, and that they ° are attended by a uniform class of pheno- mena, all of which may be studied down to the point of certainty, fo far as the practical results ave concerned. If the storms of a given period are a few hours, or a day or ahead of the normal time, or if they are delay- ed beyond their ordinary time, the practical man or woman is not going to be disconcerted by such slight variations. The warm, open weather preceding the storms will not deceive, and the rush of the storm and the cold wave following will not be surprises. Herein is the great value of teaching the industrial millions to familiarize themselves with "the habits of the weather," even though it could be proven that our theory concerning the causes of storm and weather is incor- rect. The cold weather sure to first storm period of the month - will moderate on and touching the 7th and Sth, the barometer will fall, winds will drop around to southerly, and more rain, turning to snow west and north, will pass eastwardly a s the coun On and about the Sth, general with possible lightning and r southward, are probable, on this date the moon passes over the celestial equator, very to its first quarter. The winter solstice period also sets in at this In all reasonable probability, a wide and general cold wave will spread over the country from about the 9th to the 12th. A regular storm period is cent the 14th, covering the {Ith to the 17th. The disturbances of this period will reach a within forty-eight hours of the time of full moon on the 14th, naturally after rather than be- fore that hour. During this period many very decided winter storms will visit the North Atlantic ocean, mak ing navigation perilons and unplea sant. In fact, a long and severe spell of boreal storms and storminess, pecially on the and along north ern coasts, will set in about this time and continue well through the remainder of the month. Very decided blizzards in the north and west will be very natural on and about the 14th and 15th. Behind these storms look for a very hich barometer, with severe 'winter from the north west, and a cold wave that will, be felt in varying degrees the south ern coasts. All through this part of the continued tendency to winter will prevail, but a marked return to storm conditions, with general rain and snow may be expected about the 19thet0 21st." On the 21st these reac tionary storms will culminate in pos sible" winter thunder, wind and rain, especially in the south. but it will be wise to look for a sudden change of now, sleet and freezing, as the centre ofthe low barometer works wel the east.
