The late reception given to Sir Hector Langevin, by the Conservatives in Mon- treal, was a grand success. The Minister of Public Works had been long sick with a serious illness and his recovery was the cause of much rejoicing on the part of‘his'friends. Mr. Chapleau was also present showing to the country by his joining in the congratulations offered to the Minister of Public Works thatthe rumors about a want of unity and good feeling between the two gentlemen so in-- dustriously circulated by those opposed to them were not true. ’ Sir Hector spoke 'in reply to the addresses presented to him in‘ a happy vein and took occasion to touch uponthe subject of Commercial Union he earnestly deprecated the folly of' bringing forward such a subject to disturb the harmony of the 'Dominion and maintained that we should en-- courage the- policy of self-reliance, of loyalty to Great Britain, of protection to homeindustries, of material development which promotes the growth and progress of the country. Mr Chapleau took oc-o casion to give one of his most brilliant speeches, as usual he was full of keen satire, witty and eloquent. He con- trasted the promises ot'the Quebec'Govn ernment with the manner 1n which those promises were performed, of how dlfi'eru ent were professions when in opposition to the practice when in power. Of their good intentions to avoid deficits by reducing expenditure and the end of their promises by obtaining new loans and imposing new taxation. In fact he asserted without fear of contradiction that the present Government of Qzebec has adopted what they formerly stated as being bad in the Government that they supplanted. The resolutions of the Provincial conference were torn to piccesh’e pronounced them impracticable, inconsistent and reactionary. The speeches will serve to show how the Do.- minion Ministers stand on the new planks so cleverly constructed by Wiman and Butterwbrth and so industriously promulgated by the Mail and Globe of Toronto.

This prejudicerr it is a mere prejudice, has, we are glad to know, to a great extent passed away, and Mr. Howie, as one regularly received by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. is now receiving his full and regular share of appointments. This is as it ought to be, for Mr. Howie, though blind, moves about and does all pastoral work quite as easily and more diligently than a great many who have their sight. It was cruel and unâ€" graeious to seek to create a prejudice against a. man simply because of his blindness, and we are therefore the more glad to know thattlnt prejudice has WANTEDâ€"100 cords pine wood, 3 feet long.

LECTURE,â€"â€"A large audience greeted Rev Mr Howie at his lecture in the Presbyterian Church, on V‘V‘ednesday evening. The subject of his lecture was “ Marriage Customs in the East.” He treated only the Mahomedan' and Christian forms in Palestine, and these, with the scriptural references thereto, secured the eloseattention and unflnqging interest of his audience. The lecturer possesses a vein of quiet humor which permeates his whole address, and keeps his hearers on the alert to catch the double meaning which his words are Frequently intended to convey. After listening to the lecture we are of Opinion that the Women's Rights Societv Should send missionaries to the Holy Land At the close of the lecture. the chairman, Mr A.

FARM FOR SALE BIISSIONARYr~ThC missionary meetâ€" ing in connection with the Methodist Church, held on Monday evening last, was quite successful both in respect to the entertainment provided and the financial results. The attendance, howâ€" ever, was small. lev. G. M. Simpson presided in an able manner and, when occasion offered, favored the audience with interesting statistics of their giving and working last year, Patterson. he said, had last year given $65. and if Richmond Hill members wished to pre- vent outsiders from thinkng that they had retrogaded in the matter of giving, they would have to help maintain the total established by the circuit last year. Rev. T. Campbell, of ll‘hornhill, deliv- ered a very pleasing address on mission work, interspersing his earnest rhetoric with appropriate recitations and amusing anecdotes. Rev. C. A. Simpson, to whom many present had the pleasure of listening on Sunday evening last, was the next speaker called upon. He re- ferred briefly to the whole scope of‘ Methodist missionary workâ€"heme and foreignâ€"and while strongly emphasizing,r the important work yet remaining to be accomplished, he spoke with pride of the great advancement already made. ML. Simpson possesses a full, rich voice that is very pleasing: to belieten to. Rev. Mr. Howie, the blind preacher from the . Holy Land, spoke briefly, in response to an invitation from the chairman. The choir rendered excellent service by sing-- ing a number of beautiful anthems. The collection and subscription taken at the meeting amounted to $77 54.
