Rev. j. E. Pierce of Bandesay. Turkey, a
city situated about 60 miles from CONSTANT
nople, will give an Illustrated lecture in High
street church on Wednesday evening. Mr..
Pierce has been % years a missionary in
Turkey and in that time has become familiar
with the manners and customs as we'll as
with the scenery of that country. The Views
which he will throw upon the canvas from
the celebrated photographers. Abdullah
Freres Of Constantinople. are unusually clear
owing. probably. to the peculiar atmosphere
of the Bcsphorus. He will show the Mosque
of St. Sophia, the palaces of the Sultan, the
site Of Robert College, the streets Of the city
and many Of its peculiarities, besides pic
lures of various other towns. cities and peo-
pie of Turkey some 80 or 80 views in all.
The events which all travellers try to wit
ness in Constantinople are the Sultan's 60

guards, the royal harem and the military re-
view OF the Turkish troops. These scenes
will be thrown upon the screen. Those who

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.

CONGRESS ST. METHODIST CHURCH.
Special service was held yesterday after
noon concentrating the death of John
Wesley. the founder of Methodism which oc-
CURED one hundred years ago. on March 2,
1871. Favorite hymns of Mr.. Wesley were
sung and sermon appropriate to the occa-
sion was delivered by the pastor. Rev. j. NJ
Frost. The discourse traced the hand of
God In the origin, doctrines, achievements,
influence and mission of Methodism. 1t was
emphasized that we need not merely to be
well converted. but well born, we'll stocked.
disciplined and reared, and that 1t is too
much to expect of God to do as much for
Methodism in the future as he has In the
past unless we supply him with such homes
as that at Epworth. The experimental
doctrines that were the power of other days
are only reinforced by their adopted by other
denominations, and a merely didactic service
in a Methodist church lacking the JUNCTION of
the Holy Ghost is not a typical Methodist
service now, and does not satisfy Methodist
people.
twas shown that the name. character and
work Of John Wesley had been eulogized
by Rationalists. Romanists and representa-
tive men of all denominations in terms of
higher honor than bad fallen from tongue
or pen concerning any other man since
apostolic days; and that the promise Of the
marked the past lay in the young peoples
organizations so recently formed.
The Influence Of Methodist thought was
traced upon UNCONVENTIONAL, social and ma
tional life as 1t exists today. and it was
claimed that there is as much need Of the
Methodism for the Goth century as there was
sOr the 18th century.

FUTURE WEATHER.
A Cold Spring, Hot Summer and Cold
Winter are Promised.

The pilot chart for March was issued Sat-
urday. The abstract previously published
for the use of the press shows an ordinary
number of storms, including one or two Sc
we're disturbances. The directions OF the
storm tracks, however. are not so nearly from
southwest to northeast as they were iu jan
-uary, but are rather from west-southwest to
east-noitheast This again may be the fore
warning of the coming seasons weather.
The tracks of ocean storms having been very
nearly outhwest-northeast, and some times
rather more from south to north, even, show
ed that the body Of the atmosphere during
the preceding months of December and JAN
uary was actually drifting poleward. A TO
action or return Of the currents promises to
bring cold. rather wet spring. This, in
turn, promises to be followed by hot though
not necessarily dry summer. Next winter
promises to be colder than the passing sea-
son. which, though quite vigorous, especially
in the interior of New England, has been but
an average one, as will be found If COMPARE
son Is made. Snow will be deeper next win
