has been a chorus of thanksgiving and
appreciation, and now, as Crowning
testimonial, comes the message of graft

having used Vim Mariani found it sus-
tanning and health giving. Not satisfied
with merely expressing thanks to Mon

pleased to graciously confer most beau
tiful Gold Medal upon the scientific pro-
ducer of the alth-giving Vim Mariani.
What charm there is in the name
Win Mariani! For three decades IT has
brought health and happiness to cottager
and king. Her Majesty the empress of
Russia takes It regularly as g. tonic, and
the London Court journal is authority
for the statement that the Princess of
Wales uses It with best results.
Health is certainly the desire Of all

tonic that will rejuvenate the spirit and

the claim still entirely fails TO ac-
count for liberal spilling this year at
lower prices. Contradictory guesses
and hopes continue. but this year is
very hard for predictions. Corn ex-

Scarcity and higher prices OF iron
and its products can no longer be
reckoned evidence of good time. In
the Chenango valley six furnaces have
been stopped by strike for a 20 per
cent more wages and minor strikes
are reported at various iron works
the tin plate strike being yet unset
tied. New orders reported continue
large, being evidently reported week
after week at different cities, because
not taken, but new orders accumu-
late do not equal the output of the
works. Predictions Of great scarcity
Of pig iron have lifted the price still

Homer d. Pease, of the Penn Avenue

the lines of work necessary to accom-

paper was dispensed with. >
Rev. w. II. Sewell referred to the

for distinct principles of truth-the BIZ
BILE, as a divine revelation, is our basis.
There must be a rigid fidelity to prin-
ciple and an unflinchlng loyalty to the
church. For the victory of principle
and truth men are wanted. There are
multitudes Of grand principles and
grand creeds in the world but they
meet with little or no success because
of the weak personality behind them.
DR. Beddoe responded briefly in well
chosen words. Rev ]. r. Ellis, Of
Blakely. who was on the programme to
read a paper on How to Win the AS
sOciate Members" made an apology
for not preparing his paper, but opened
the discussion with a few remarks. He
thought the best way to win them was
to present to them a religion which
could be admired. Rev. Spalding
thought sociability would win the as
sociate members. +. r. Griffiths also
I spoke. He said there are two classes
in the b. Y. p. u. Those who are
Christians and thosew no are not, and
the dividing line is unbelief. Associate
members should become active and
live up to the pledge.
MIR. MATTHEW'S REMARKS.
Rev. F. S. Mathews also spoke on
the subject. He thought that the d.
Viding line was almost obliteratcd, and
that it was almost impossible to keep
| the active members in line. Homer D.
Pease, Of Penn avenue church, coin
Cided with Rev. Mathews views and
| Rev. de Gruchy thought it better tC
| have a society with ten active mem
| bers than a hundred who cannot win
| souls. Rev. Pierce thought that the
young people might be encouraged
more, perhaps, and maybe the minis
ters are to blame in some respects foi
| the negligence of some of the young
| people.
| David II. Williams read a paper or
| How to Keep the Union Going" He
| offered many timely suggestions foi
