The \an‘k of the chairman, Mr, John Brown, was light as the order was all that. could be (haired. Mr. lyckmou went. over the usual Church against the anu Govcrument. He said the Government ll‘ltl no cush in the bank as they claimed. They p‘id tho Medical Superimcndcnl of the Toronto Asylum $2,000 8 year, with house rent, provisi ms, 0 ml, etc. free of Cll‘lfgr).

The High Schools should re- ceive less support from the Government, and the Public Schools more. The latter schools slunid have a. fifth class. (A voice) “Rural school teachers would not have time to teach another class.” Mr. Ryck‘annn said, “Then employ two touch ers.” The statement was evidently not received with favor. Mr. Ryckmau then took up Separate Schools. They had not the power to ab- olish them as they were guaranteed at Confeilciation, but. they should be in- spected the sums as Public Schools. The law compelled PubliC‘SullCUl Trustees to be elected by ballot. lu Separate Schools it was optional. Several in the hall said the ballot was Optional in the Public Schools but the speaker wonld not admi' it. No person should got/into ofHCe on account of his religion. Mr. Halty, ii few days ago, was made Minister of Pub lic Works because he was a Catholic. This was wrong. Why was iiotnman like MLDuvis, of North York, appointch 0r Dr. Gilmour, who resigned because Mr. Hart-y got the appointment. (A voice) “Did 'Dr. Gilmour say he re signed in conseuuence of the appoint- ment?" Mr. liyckman continuing said he did not hear the Doctor say so, but such was the report. In concluaion Mr. Ryckman said if elected he was prepared to follow Mr. W.R. Meredith. After thanking the audience for the good order and ,attentiou, the meeting closed with cheers for the Queen and the candidate. __._....___ If you want to buy or sell a farm, ad vertiss in the Toronto Weekly Mail.

In the even lug the oveifl uv was So large that they were compelled to hold an over-flow meeting on the church lawn, addressed by Ilevs. Skinner, “lenders and Shile Miller. In the morning an able communion sermon was preached by RewBE'Shan- er, after which the pastor, Row.) .A.Dun- lap, confirmed seven persons, and admin- istered the Holy S‘icrameni, assisted by all the visiting ministers, too large com- mumon. In the afternoon the Rev.B.E Shaner, assisted by a number of ministers, illus- truted the Christian soldier to a large “138811181”.ng of children. In the evening Rev. \V. J.

Lutheran Church, Vaughan, was given by its pastor, Rev. J. A. Dunlap, Ph. D , which read as fol- lows.-â€"‘ In the year 1806 Messrs. Jacob Fisher, Jacob [{efl‘or, and others, emigrated from Berlin, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, U. S. into Canada. Leaving home they travelled by a. caravan having four horses attached, and after four weeks of hard- ships and difficulties, having crossed the Niagara river in a flat boat and having cut their way through a. dense forest, they finally reached what. is now called Toronto, on the 22nd December. Leav- ing Toronto they proceeded by way of Youge street, stopping here and there, finally reaching the old homtstead, lot 12, 3rd concession, Vaughan, after four days’ journey. Soon after their arrival here they es- tablished a place of worship, where Mr. Jacob Kcfi‘er would read the Scriptures and written sermons, and also taught the children the catechism, until a. minister could be secured to take charge of the pastoral work, and for thirteen years they worshipped in an old school house which stand abnit fifty feet south of the present church. Jacob Keffcr, August 10h, 1811. upon which to erect a place of worship. The corner stone was llld July 22nd, 1819, {and for forty-one. years thuy worshipped in this old log church. In 186] the cor- ner stone of the present brick church was land, the prvsout congregation hiving Worshipped fur thirty-four years. This much scv'ciity~ilvc yours from the time the first church was ClCCf'Jd underlho pastoral care of Ilcv.‘ Mr. Peterson; f" the present, and including the thirteen years of worship in the old school house makes it eighty-eight years. During this time they had been served by thirteen pastors whose names are as follows: Rovs. Peterson, Hittner, Myer hoffer, Hunhnllz, Kugbler, Nunnuuichcr, Allenkirch, Boaslcr, Deihl, Fishburn, Duch, McLaughlin and Dunlap. Rev. Mr. Fishburu served the longest, the time being twenty five years, duringY which time he confirmed one hundred and fifty-two. - Mr. McLaughlin comes next with time ulghf years, and con- firmed seventy one. During the seventy years five hundred have been Confirmed. four hundred and sixty having passed away or rcmuvcfl to other districts, louv- ing the present membership at one hun- dred and forty. Since Rev. Fishburu’s advent four young men have gone out of this congrl‘guthm into the ministry and are serving prominent churches in the United States, and three more are con- lemplutiug entering the ministry, which is Worthy of congratulation, considering its isolation from any other Lutheran Church, in sending so many of her child- ren into the ministry. Since the your 1850 the church has been served by American minish‘rs, and up to this time (1850), the Gernum lan- guage was exclusively used, which was a. great drawback to the progress of the cause of religion in an English speziking country. The church is considered to be one of the wealthiest country churches in tin: se_ti n of cauntry. -â€"â€"oooâ€"â€"â€"- SL013 for tea tonight; I want you to taste the Kulclo Coyhf'n Tea; it is the richest cup of Tea.

(C-JNCLUDED) Between Canada and the States there is a. great deal of smuggling going on all the time. It costs the government a great deal in detectives and other ways, byuo menus c-wuponsated by the few seizures they make. If we look at the long, lmc of frontier that will have to be gu-irdcd from Atlantic to Pacific, when the N. W. is more densely populated, we may f».ch what an army of custom hl-use people will be required. We pity the nations of Europe when we read of the number of men they keep under arms, and the enormous l-xpens': it entarls upon Ihem. It will be the same with us after while, if we still have custom houses and high farm's. To sum up we might say the results of protection are the very reverse of whit was expectt'd of it. With free trzizle there are more manu- factures, and wealth and population more evenly distributed. With protection the tendency is to con- centrate the population in a few largo cities, and to fosfor huge combines where a few men realize enormous fortunes at the expense of all the rest of'tlie com- munhy. Of all the fallacies of protection a high tariff is the greatest. All this 1 submit not as matter of opinion but as facts. It will not influ- ence partizzus, they are too obstinate and blind to see the most palpable facts. Much less will it influence a protectionist ndmlnlsfrafiun, maintained in power by the subventinns of some protected indusâ€" tries who literally buy the elections for them." But I trust a. time will come when the masses having acquired a betler and more general knowledge of politic-3.1 economy will insist on a chuuge of policy. I shall never forget that once In Spain, having occasion in go to a custom home with a friend, as Iadmired the lmndsuiro massive structure, he told me that. it lmd originally b on built for the inquisiliun, “but you kuow.”suidhe, “there is no inquisitiou possible in our advanced slate of civiliZItiun.” 'After a while he said again, “Do you know I bellt'l'e :1 day will come when future generations will say of custom hunses what we say now of the inquiri-ion, that in their advanced state of civilizuiun suali an absurd sys- tem could no longer exist.” Iquite ngioc with him. .
