5 e e e e——e —e — A Kind Word to All. We closed onr meeting at the Island last Sunday evening with 62 accessions to the church; 15 of them came from other churches and 47 of them were new members. I have now com menced a revival meeting in town and I have this kind word to say to all These meetings shall be nunion in spirit. 1 am not here to simply “build up my own church but to earnestly labor for the moral welfare of Walkerton and vicinity. The Methodist clinreh will begin » meeting next week, the Adventists are already holding and the Pres- - f'?{'“..-;“ ,l —." " Ao vazan - s 2 EGa TR B g TR these nnited services in. So let ns each do all we ean in our own sphere to help this good work on. A good - revival here will Dbuild np all the‘ churches, will help the business men, will help the poor and in fact will bring thrift and industry to every depart ment of howorable pursuit. Besides we want an inviting place for those who may come to build homes in the fn—{ ture prosperity of our town. We ask the business men as far as is possible to close their places of bnsiness and attend and influence this, the greatest work ecommitted to man—the brightening of human destiny. T'his is the \ foundation work of all maferial and national prosperity. Let us remember that “History repeats itself.” How many races of men, cities, kingdoms, nations and empires have been overthrown becanse of moral corruption, The greatest that earth ever produced have fallen. So has it been in all the past, so will it be in the fature. Education and religious morals and virtnes must go hand in hand.
