Column. Many of the Societies held a mission ary meeting last week and discussed the need of home mission work, The question of forming a Dominion Thion will be considered at the Oltawa convention to be held Oct. 6-9. The young people of Harmony are actively interested in Christian En- d-aver work. They recently invited the Hnadeavorers of a neighboring soviety to con Inet a C, E. prayer meet jug in their chureh. We hope the result will be the organization of a Noung Peoples' Society there. The FE. L. of GE, of the Central Methodist chureh, Stratford, held its semi-annual election on Sept. 13th. The following officers were elected -- Pres,, Alex. Collins; Vice Pres,, Miss Forman; Seey.-Trexs,, Mr. Bushfield; Couveners-of Committers, Miss Read, Miss Addison, Miss Dobson, Miss Feuton, Mr, Osborne: Leader of Sing ins, b. Johustou; Pianist, Miss D ugman. We haye much pleasnre in conyeying 'to the Perth Endeavorers the following messxge from Rey McGregor, Provincial President : Woodstock, Sept. 22nd, 1896.» lam very giad to learn that the Christian Endeavorers of Perth are rallying to the call for more earnest and progressive endeavor, I haye been pleased to see the prominent place giveu to ©. E. information in the local press of the connty, Evidently there are Editors aud Editors or there are press committees and committees, I believe the latter is the true explan- ation. Now then go on and let there be no relaxation of effort. until the goal which we have set before us for the year is reached. In the ancient stadium there was three pillars, one at the starting point, the other at the goal and another at the middle of the course. On the first was inscribed the word "Excel," on the one at the goal "Rest" and on the mid .conrse one "tfusten," The dangeris midway the foremost racer is then tempted to relax his effort. Now that Perth has begun so well may there be all diligence shown in mainiaining the lead in CG. E. #iiterprise, ive very pleasant recollections of my yisit last duly to the County Convention, I trust Perth willsend some of its best to Ottawa "34>, Washing one and all its Christian Ende averers eyery blessing in the Savivar's service.
