Clias. Moffat, Esq., Reeve of Gleu- «lg, has beea chosen as Warden of this County for 1890, and a better choice could not have been made. Mr. MofFat is u man of talent and superior executive ability, a fluent and forcible speaker and commands the confidence and respect of the whole County Council as well as the ratepayers of his own township. We are sure he will fill that position with credit to himself and satisfaction to the county parliament. NOTE AND COMMENT.

Editor Standard Dear Sik, â€" As a branch of the Up- per Canada Bible Society has recently been organized in this place, and a large number of the people in this vicinity are readers of your paper, I have decided to ask yon to give this letter a place in your columns, m the assurance that a better knowledge of the aim and work of the Bible Societj- will work a greater sympathy in that work, and result iu the granting of, more generous aid towards ii.

Its field ex tends not on) y over our own province, ' but also to Manitoba, the North West Territory and British Columbia. j The object of the Society, like that ' of its parent the British and Foreign, is "to facilitate the wide circulation ui\ the Holy Scriptures. It seeks to pro- vide the Word of God for all nations, in such translations, forms and laces, and at such prices as to make it ac- cessible and acceptable to-preaehers and teachers, missionaries and indi- viduals, ricli and poor." The Holy Scriptures are issued in a great variety of editions and bindings and are sold at the lowest possible rates. A number of tbe cheaper edi- tions are sold under cost in order that FOUR BOOKS FREE THE RURAL CANADIAN for 1890, the leading Agricultural Journal of Canada, and your choice of any four of the following books for ONE DOLLAR: Kim1aide7.

But beyond all that is beini^ done at home, the great aid that the Bible Society (jives to loreigu missions en- titles it to our sympathy and help. Missionary Societies do their part. They incur the expense of sending *o«t and maintaining among the heathen, living teachers. The Bible Society supplements this great work by plac ing iu tUe hands ot missionaries, the Word of God in the language of those among whom they are laboring. The Bible, or portions of it, is now circul- ated in 286 different languages. Iu 1804, when the British and Foreign Bible Society took its rise, there were not more than four or five millions of copies of the sacred volume in the world. Since that date, more than one hundred and ninety- seven millions of copies of the Scriptures have been circulated in whole or iu part, by the Society and its auxiliaries. There still remain8}a ^reaC deal to be done, and much pecuniary as- sistance is necessary for the carrying on of the work. The proceeds from sales cover only part of the expense of prepaiing the Bible and circulating them to all parts of the world, and a great deal of the money necessary for the carrying on of this 'work of faith atd labor of love" must be raised by voluntary contribution. The Upper Canada Bible Society sent over fSOOO of free subscriptions to the parent Society, for the year ending 31t;t March, 1889. The Waller's Falls Branch has its share to do in this work. The Society's BiLles Will be kept iu stock at ihe cle- posicoL-y, Bonneli Bros.' store, and catalogues, as well as pamphlets con- taining useful information in regard to the work may be had from the deposi tarv.
