TOPICS OF THE WEEK The pait veek hu been one of cold raiu and chill; wirather, aud vegeta- tion is thereby rendered very baok- ward. An immense quantity of raiu liai fallen, and grkin on low lying lands is badly drowned out. What is death to one township, however, is life to another. The township of Frotou is the greatest sufferer in this respect, while GUnelg and some of the other rolling and sandy towueiiips are largely benefited. With wbrm weather from this on, growth would be reuiarkablly rapid aud luxuriant .throughont the count}. The most important event in the Dominion Parliament duriug the past week was the loyal address to tlic Queen introdactid in the Senate and concurred iu by thcHoasc of Commons. Both leaders in the commons viod in ihcir efforts to heap eulogy npon hor majesty, and at the conclusion all members rose to their feet, and led by Col. Prior, made the "welkin"ring with Ood Have the Queen. It was an inspiring moment. There are such things as genuine and spurious loyalty, and tiicro wore members present, who joined' in that ovation, wlio, judging by Iheir past deeds, would wish the Queen and her dominions at the very antipodes of heaven â€" or at least that she aud they might become part and parcel of the ^reat American republic â€" and these gentlemen shouted with the rest. But (hen there is bcuod to be a lot of epurious enthnsiaam worked off with the genuine thing during the prcnent month. It cannot bo otherwise and it is not worth trying to prevent, and possibly not worth referring to. Juno is the month of convenlions and coufercucca. The Toronto Con- ference is in session at Toronto this week. In this connection we notice that an effort is being made to stum the tide of new recruits offering fur the ministry. The profession is bn- coming overcrowded. Tliia word "profeseioii" may be taken txcepliou to, but should it not now suporcede the word "calling?" This latter word came into use from the fact that every candidate who tutercd the ministry believed himself to have been directly called of God, ami still has to submit evidence of such call- ing, when, if the evidence isgnfticient, he is admitted. The great difficulty which confeience will have to face iu stopping the supply is the sifting of this evidence aud deciding who arc and who are not called. If the word "profeasion" and « standard of ability were adopted^the diffioulty would bo overcome in a trice. The word "calling" misleads no one in these days, for the people are as just jiidgca in inch mattera as the clergy, aud they recognize the fact that great abuses have been worked through misoonoeptioD and erratic jndgiuent on the pirt of those who have kept the gates. The ohuich has been aad- Ij bampered bjr incompeteut people who liare, no doobt honestly, mis- ||ikea their ambitioa for a call. •sprey Conncil The council of Osprey met as a Ci<urt iif Ruvisiim in Mnxwell un Muy Slxt last.
