Methodist church held a sup- per on Thursday evening to whieh I! they Invited representatives from | the other clubs of the sister Metho- before dist churches. A sumptuous sup- per was served at 7 o'clock, and by the young ladies of the Sunday }l school, who received a warm trib- ute from J. Stagg, the representa- tive from Brock street Methodist church club. After supper a fine programme was given which includ- ed speeches from R. Meek, J. M. Far- rell, T. P. Maxwell, representative of Sydenham Methodist club, J. Stagg, J. Lockett, Rev. J. Webster, F. C. Anderson, Rev. G. J. Campbell, and R. Crawford. The duties of chair- man were carried out by A. J. | Struthers, president of Queen street club. After a short jntroductory address, | Mr. Siruthers called upon Mr. Meek, who spoke chiefly upon "The objects of all studied men." The speaker: said the busy man is the best man, and he should always use his talents to the best advantage. MY. Meek went on to describe the difference between the types of men to be met with. He took as an illustration i dreadful catastrophe which oe- ed at Chicago several years ago, -- the Iroquois theatre was burn- | ed and so many lives were lost. One man escaped, but in doing so he had to trample over women and chil- dren. This man was a large ro- bust fellow and instead of giving a helping hand- to rescue some of the! poor unfortunates, he continued on his rash for safety thinking nothing about the hundreds whem he helped to trample down to death. This same man was afterwards congratu- | lated upon his escape, but neverthe- less he realized the error he had made, and stated to those who wish- ed to have congratulated him, that it would have been better for him to have perished than have such a {blot rest upon his life. This was | the one type which Mr. Meek de- geribed, and the other was a young (athlete, the son of a noted doctor of Chicago, who while passing the game theatre when the catastrophe happened dnd hearing the cries for help rushed in and amid the flames and was instrumental in saying nine- teen lives. Not being obntent, he continued to save others, but before long the plank on which he was standing broke, and he crashed down into the flames. The young athlete was taken to the hospital, but he had received fatal burns, and expired in a few hours. When dy- ing the young athlete repeated a short passage of Scripture, "For thig cause came I into the world." Nr. Meek's address carried with it the keynote "Service." J.-M. Farrell corroborated Mr. Meek in his point pertaining to ser- vie. Mr, Maxwell told of the many Jd = ecial Values in [Sheetings ¢ & Cot- fine Quality E nglish Sheeting, pure bleached, free * from all filling and dressing in twill and plain, all widths.

In many instances they are left out of the question when they should be consulted about some of the enter- prises which their children undertake. F. G. Lockett told how on several occasions he had been tempted to go to {hicago and start up in the hard- ware business, but fortunately = the great firc of that place broke out and thns detained him from going." In a few year he came to the conclusion that he 'could do just as well at home. Phi Mr. Lockett did and finally came to be ue of the successiul business men of , the ety. Revs. J. Webster und G. I.

The un- derwriters association has not given anything definite on the matter vet. 'Thé matter of the risk on the fire apparatus, horses and men, should the brigade respond to a fire at the | Royal Military College, will be taken fe again with Col. T. R. Carleton, the commandant. The militia. department is willing to stand for the indemnity ion the apparatus when crossing the (bridge, but the committee wants this agreement while the temporary brid is in uso to cover not only the outfit and horses, but Ald. Nickle held that the men should be included. The militia department should ss- sume the risk on the whole. from the time it leaves the stations until it returns. .
