Armstrong r Industrial Home Notes P (jSy on InrmiU) As previously aunounced, "Thu Build, itig of the Temple" was the auhject of an abiu, iDstractive and illustrative discourse dulivi'iod by Mr. Uaroess to a large and attentive congrogation iu our service room on Suuday aftecuooD^the 20th inst.

To tbc«a early, indefatigable workers, •aid the speaker, is in a great meitsure due the present substantial condition of the church and their memory should be rever- enced to the end of time. The di6o«>urse was forceful and attentively listened to, throughout. A number of ladii'i and gentlemen formed an impromptu choir Mkd M'ms Sparling in the absence of Mr. Erhkine very ably presided at the organ. Mr. Cook led the singing which was fer- vent, harmonious and auimated. Mr. Eanis took charge of the after meeting, which was of % rooct gratifying nature. Mr E. announced the csncellatiou of the previous Sundays announcement of taking up collection* to meet any little expense* incurred in connection with these meet- iiiga. He said, however, that any person wishing tu support the cause uiay baud their contributions either to Mr.Hames«, Mr. John Ilaiues or himself; the smallect contributions will be thankfully received, an account kept and a statement made of disbursemeiita of the same from time to t'ae. There were abont 65 out- side friends present at the meeting wbioh an evidence that there is no falling off of interest in the itood work emanating from the Sabbath setvioes at the Hoose of Kefuiie Andrew Lennox, aged 84, of Keppel, and John Teosdale, a.;ed 66,of Buremout, were admitted to the home, the former on the 22i<d and the latter on the 29rd ins'. The admissions appear to keep pace with the drparturt-a hy discharge or death*. •The present number of inmate* is, man 86, women 13, total 38, going to give up her situ.«ti<>u in the near future owine to her mother's continued ill health. We trust, however, that such a step may be avoided by her mother's res- toration to good health. Miss Robinson bos been ou the staff since the opening of the home. Her pleasant countenance, atrentiou to duty and amiable qualities have gained the respect aud esteem of the iumates, who will greatly miss her in the â-  event jf her leaving. According lo autioipaiion there was a large influx of visitors to the home on Victoria Day. 135 names were register- ed; to this number may safely be added, including young people not registered, fully lOO. Vinong the visitors your cor. was plesaed to meet a very estimable friend iu the person of Mr.Tho8.ClAylon, of Flesherton, Hismotbercalled on your scribe some months ago and we hope to get a call from bis father in the near fut- ure. Mr. Uenry Holman and sou, Frank of Port Law. and Miss Janie Warling, of Toronto, wore also welcome callers. Your -. I cor. also got on. introduction to Miss " I Huml-erstone, the new teacher of Stone's >1 1 Settlement public scho-)!. The pleasant *~^^ couuteuHnce aud cheerful disposition of this young lady impresses yuur cor, with the conviction that she will become a p<ip- ularand successful teacherin No 6 section. She expresdes a very high opinion of the good people in the section. Your cor. was very much pleased to be remembered by his old friends, and their bright smiles haunt him still. Quito a number of the inmates enjoyed an outing on Thursday afternoon last, all who were able and who desire to do so, were permitted to go up t«wu to see the fun, and we are glad lo state that only in one iiistunce was the privilege abused. The deliuqueiit paid the penalty.

Victjjiia day passed ofif quietly here. A good uiauy went to Markdale; some went fishing (mosquitoes were plenti- ful and there were any amoant of bites). Others stayed at home and worked all day. Don't know who enjoyed themselves the most. Miss Jane Warling of Toronto spent a few days at her parents last week. Mj:. and Mrs. Baker, Master Harry and Otto spent the 24tb in Colling- wood visiting Mr. B's parents. Dr.Caldwell gave a lecture one evening last week in the church.

The brothers provided a treat of ice cream which was tlioionghly appreci- ated as it was a very warm evening. After the treat there was a debate. The affirmative won with W. Culha as captain and it was decided that a young man should marry before twenty-five. The next meeting will be June 6 in place of the itgular night owing to other attractions. i • _ \^^e- , Sheep washing was in order Ust^Dg ^i.^ever before week during the hot days, but some had a cold dip on Saturday as it turned very cold after the rain.

Monday night the oue fellow stole a valuable mare from the stable of Walter Marsboll, at Redick- ville, and mide back east with it. He made the mistake of turning the mare loose in the fielO at Mr. Aberdeen's, near Violet Hill, and retiring to the "oarn for a sleep.
