Five such exemption clauses were one
after another voted down in the Com
mons by large majoritiess and the
one proposed in the,Senate was rejected
by a PROFESSIONALLY large vote. The
new. act, therefore. with all the Proyin-
cial acts in force in Canada, will apply
to all Municipalities and classes alike.
of course the Railroad companies
used money, and influence to defeat
the bill at every turn, more especially
the $500 fine they were subject to t4'
the working of their mel on Stfday.
This means $500 for each and every
man worked.
Again they realized tbe rapid de-
velopement and the possible extra div
idends that could be paid out OF money
earned running Sunday excursions.
All this was taken from them. Upon
the whole tie people here are fully
satisfied witt this new law and
thoroughly believe they have the best
law governing the observance of the
Sabbath of any country in America. To

The lecture given in Bethel Church
on the 18th by Rev. J.-P. Turkelson, on
his trip last summer to Kliplefs, Den
mark, his native place, was entertain
ing as well as instructive.
He began by saying that many take
pride in tracing their foreiatlers back
to the time when they came from Eng
land. But the fathers of many English
men came from Denmark, Saxony and
Angles land (Engle-land) a province IN
Germany. In fact England derived Its
name from the province OF Angle-land,
SO we may say, that Denmark is the
home of our grand fathers.
