TEMPERANCE MEETING.
Representatives of Five Young Peo-
pies Societies Discuss Various
Phases OF the Temperance Ques-


A large audience gathered at the M.
E. church last Sunday evening to listen
to the presentation of different aspects
Of the temperance question by young
people from the christian societies OF the
churches and college, After the opening
devotional exercises, j. Christensen OF
talk on "Our Duties as Individuals" in
which he showed that we need more
sympathy with those who are i'll the
clutches of the drink habit and more will
to try to help them. His talk was brief
and right to the point
O. f. Scott of the Y p S. O. E. pre-
sented a very carefully prepared paper
on "The Liquor Power in Politics, y
which was full of historical facts and
statistics showing how energetically this
insidious foe works to gain and keep a
strong hold on politics, and that it must
be repulsed by using its own ammuni-
tion against it. Mr.. Scott's paper was
also of practical nature.
The next on the program was a paper
prepared by Miss Reid of the Y. NJ. c..
A. on the subject, 1.-The Inebriate, How
far is he Responsible?" This paper
treated the subject from psychological
standpoint showing the effects of in
herited tendencies toward indulgence in
strong drink, as we'll as the influence of
environment. AS the illness of Miss
Reid's father prevented her being pres
ent, the paper was read by Miss Adams.
w. F. Knox, of the Y. NJ. G. A. was
the next to discuss the question. He
took for his point of view, Temperance
and Social Reform" MIR. Knox argued
that the work of destroying the saloon
must be accompanied by the providing
of some place where those who would
otherwise frequent the saloon, may meet
for social intercourse and at the same
time be free from the contaminations of
vice.
w. J. Carrel came last and took foI
his subject the significant words, How
to Win the Battle" Mr.. Carrel made
very plain several important things that
must be done in order to win, especially
emphasizing the necessity Of entering
the fight with the determination OF
winning and of keeping everlastingly at
it, This gentleman also has consider
| able power of invective, which he u &c
to advantage on this occasion.
The program was interspersed with
good lively selections Of music. The con
gregation also sang two hymns, StanC
up, stand up for Jesus" at the begin
ming. and America" at the close. The
program was somewhat lengthy but al
felt that it was an evening profitably
spent.

ENTERED INTO THE REST OF PARADISE

The sudden death Of Mrs Adelaide V.
Marchmont on the morning of Monday,
the l4th inst, was shock TO the whole
community.
Mrs Marchmont had been gradually
gaining strength after very severe
attack of illness lasting for number of
weeks Though her ailment was of
such nature as to bar any hope of her
final recovery, her friends were encour-
aged to think, from the progress she had
made, that her life might be spared for
some time longer She was busily en-
gagged in her household duties when she
suddenly fell as the result of heart failure
and breathed no more. She was 43 years
of age.
Service was held on Tuesday morning
at the house, whence the remains were
taken later in the day and conveyed to
Exeter, Ontario the home of her child
hood for interment. Friends brought
many flowers and among thom were
roses from her class of boys in Sunday
School, who keenly feel her loss and will
always hold her memory in loving
regard.
1t can be said Of Mrs. Marchmont that
she was devoted christian and a
womanly woman. She gained the
esteem OF all who came to know her,
by her kindness and geniality. To her,
indeed, might be given the good old
name of gentlewoman, she was such
by all the instincts of her nature.
To her natural gifts and disposition
were added thorough education and
broad culture.
Her earnest effective work, her
thoughtfulness, and wise counsel, will
be greatly missed by St. Johns church,
for to her, especially in its incipiency,
was the enterprise very largely indebted
for its success. All along her interest
has been sustained, She was a thorough
church woman, holding fast the truth
with malice towards none and with
charity for all. 1t is no exaggerated or
empty compliment to say of her that her
place will be hard to fill.
To her son and all members of her
family our sympathy goes out, and
especially to her aged father and mother
in their sore bereavement.

A Hustling Young Veterinary Surgeon will

r. E. Hunt, who graduated last
spring from the veterinary department
of the Detroit College of Medicine. has
cone to Alma with the intention Of
permanently locating here and will do
all kinds OF veterinary work on domes.
ticated animals.
On inquiry we learned that Mr.. Hunt
Is not only graduate Of the college
above mentioned but that he also spent
two years III the veterinary department
of the University of Pennsylvania and
is graduate of the U. Of M. school of
Bacteriology. In all Of these institutions
he ranked high as student, always
standing at the head Of his classes. But
the greatest honors were won by Mr..
Hunt at the Detroit college. 1t is the
custom of this institution to grant gold
medal each year to the graduate who
has the highest standings in all his
studies. Mr.. Hunt won this medal last
year thus demonstrating his superiority
as student, not only over all the
others in his department, but over
those who graduated from all de.
partments Of the college. At the final
examinations there last spring Mr..
Hunt did what no other student had
done before him, passing an oral test by
answering l60 questions without a
mistake.
He has also had good deal Of practice
in his line of work. Eight years ago he
was veterinary surgeon at the Viadet
stock farm in Mercer county, ILL.,, and
he has also practiced in Three Rivers
and Jackson. Those desiring any
further recommendation before employ.
ing this gentlemen are referred to J. w.
Holmes and DR.. Bagley, the former of
whom was Mr.. Hunts teacher when he
was boy in Horton and the latter the
family physician of his fathers family.

A FINE ENTERTAINMENT

In spite of the storm and other him
drances last Saturday evening fair
sized audience assembled at the Presby-
terian church to listen TO the entertain
ment given by Miss Hill under the aus
pices of the Y. p S. c. +. Miss Hill
was perfectly at ease on the platform
and master of the situation, as she al
ways is. She gave several recitations
and in them all delighted her hearers by
her freedom and naturalness of move
ment, her excellent Interpretation of
the thought contained in each selection
and by her splended impersonations of
each character represented. Among the
selections that she gave are king
Robert of Sicily" Peggy" Trial
Scene from Henry VIII" Nanny S
Lii Baby Boy" "Magdalena, or the
Spanish Duel, !" Kentucky Bell, &" 1.-The
Courtin', " by James Russell Lowell and
when the Teacher GIFTS Cross" Two
pieces of music, a selection by the
students quartet, ana one by the
college quartet added interest to the
occasion. More music was arranged for,
but the absence of some of the singers
made it necessary to omit it.

The Class Of 1900 Cover Themselves with
Glory.
The annual sophomore exhibition
occurred in college chapel Tuesday even
ing of this week. The members of the
class this year are Misses Plum and
Webster and Messrs. Foote, Randels
and Magaw.
The first number on the program was
a piano solo, Spring Song" from
Mendelssohn, by Miss Velma Sharp, who
played with expression and the musi-
clans Interpretation.
After the invocation by DR.. Bruske, j..
9. Foote gave An Grafton on MANS A.
B. Cs, )" showing that in spite Of the
great attainments of mankind along
many lines there is still very much
undiscovered knowledge in those lines.
Whatever branch of human knowledge
we may consider, man has only learned
his A. b. Cs. in that branch.
Miss Plum took for the subject of her
essay, THE Legend Of the Holy Grail. J"
manner she told of the origin of the
legend and its probable causes and
significance, and traced its development,
showing how Tennyson and our own
Lowell have written poems about. IL and
referred to it in various ways.
At this point the literary part Of the
program was relieved by piano duet,
Fra Diavola'' from Auber by Misses
Lancashire and Bruske. The young
ladies captivated the audience and won
loud applause.
The next was an Grafton on Home
Rule for Ireland" by d. II. Magaw. He
took the three main reasons why Ireland
should have home rule, as Gladstone
gave them and discussed them quite
thoroughly. 1t was an able effort and
Mr.. Magaw in accordance with his
nature interspersed some wit and humor
Miss Webster gave biographical
essay, taking Elizabeth Fry" for her
subject. She gave short sketch OF
this noble woman's life, setting forth
her great earnestness Of purpose and
continual devotion to the interests OF
suffering humanity. Miss Webster's
delivery WAS free and easy, showing
perfect self control.
The last Grafton was by G. B. Randels
His subject was, 1.-The Farmer as q
Thinking Man." and he refer red to the
historical truth that the majority Of the
great men Of our country have come
from the farm. Mr.. Randels claimed
that the farmers environment is such as
to engender habits of thought, and fur.
nished sufficient evidence to prove his
point. In our judgement the honors OF
the evening belong to him.
The gentlemens double quartet closed
the program by singing tom Tom the
Piper's Son" They were loudly encored
but did not respond.
