Snyder was sold on Tuesday to Mr. Menno E. Shautz, of Berlin for the sum of $8060. The farm is an excellent one, lying within the corporation of the town of Waterloo and contains 146 1-5 acres.

By the introduction of this new system telephone subscribers are enabled to conduct long distance conversations with as much ease and distinctness as ifthe distanceiwere but a few feet. The effect,generally speaking, isa material decrease in the price of messages. The rates to Stratford] and Hamilton which were formerly 25 cts., have been reduced to 20 cents. For local service the rate will be 10 cents if within 5 miles and 15 cents if within 15 miles. The rate to Toronto has been increased from 35 to 40 cents. BURNT Orm--We regret to learn that Mr. Valentine Reicherr, formerly of the firm of Reiehert & Co. of this town, was burnt out at Howell, Mich., on Friday night, Nov. 10th. He was carrying on an upholsteriug business on the first flat of a frame building and had his living room above. Thftloeal paper of Howell says : "The family having already retired, were awakened in time to escape with their lives and scant clothing. Their household goods were yet largely in boxes, not having been unpacked. There was time to re- move very little from the sreond floor. Some of the furniture and all the sew- ing machines were carried out below but considerable uniiuLhed material and a good outfit of tools were burnt. The loss of $1000 to $1500 was all Mr. Reichert had and he will he left empty handed. An insurance policy of 8500 Was cancelled on Tuesday before the fire."

Mr. Snider denies that he, had any thought of leaving the Grand Trunk and devoting his time entirely to evangelistic work, as was reported “‘”"'“o"* _ _ vceently. He feelstlmt it would inju 1'0 his influence for good were he to leave the company and go out as an evangel- ist. Besides the Grand Trunk has been very kind to him, never having refused him leave of absence for the purpose of preaching. The Rev. Geo. Richardson of Berlin whose pastorate of Trinity Church ends in June next, has received three calls, says the News, to important churches. He has been Invited to the Center nial Church, London; the Methodist church, Milton, and Mount Forest church. He has, we understand, ac- cepbed the latter, subject to the approv- al of the stationing committee and will thus remain within the bounds of his own conference. Miss Lizzie Woods of De Pere, Wis- oomsin, is the guest, of Mr. and Mrs. Sol. Be2ty of town. Mr. Henry Ziegler of Morriston, New Jersey, formerly of Wellesley, gave the CHRONICLE otliee a friendly call last Friday. Mrs. Kerren of A1genac, Michigan, is spending a few weeks in town, the guest. of Mrs. SOL Beaty. Mr. John Beaty, of the firm of J. IL Snider, went on a business trip to Forest. for a, few days this week. A Thanksgiving sermon will be preached in the Methodist church by the pastor at 11 a.m. to-day. The anniversary services in connec- tion with the Waterloo Methodist church will be held on Sunday Decem- ber 3rd. The Rev. Geo. F. Salton of Stratford,the former pastor, will preach both morning and evening. The services in Dublin st., church, Guelph, are still continued and great religious interest is manifested. Under the Children's Protection Act of 1893 special encouragement is given by the Ontario Legislature for. the formation of Children's Aid Societies to look after: the interests of ill treated, neglected or orphan children, thereby seeking to stay the cause of evil which is so often perpetuated by the failure to apply simple remedial measures in the period of childhood. Benevolently disposed persons could not engage in a grander work than this. To rescue children frbrn wretched and vicious surroundings and place them in well ordered homes with opportunities for development and usefulness is the highest kind of philanthrophy. -ID" __ V A A " Provision is made in the Act for the appointment of a "Cuildren's Visiting Committee" in every electoral district, the duty of which shall be to make in- quiry regarding available homes and to act as local guardians or friends of children placed out. The appointment of these committees is placed in the hands of the County Judge, the Sheriff and the Warden. The above gentle- men have met and appointed the fol- lowing ladies and gentlemen as a Visit- ing Committee for North Waterloo '.-- For the CHRONICLE. Watepkx) County Chronicle, Thursday, Nov. 23, le9a,---Page S. Lug uummwuw FN,FN “my” .. .ee.eHe__ie_ _ Mrs. Fred. Colquhoun, Mrs, Hugo Kranz, Mrs. John Motz, Mrs. (Dr.) Lackner, E. W. B. Snider M. P. P., (Chairman), Alex. Millar Q. C., and Fredk. Colquhoun (Secretary). Let me collate a. few of the samples of choice billingsgate Mr. Boomer throws at my benighted head in his last letter:-"Vile slanderer," "most un- truthful man," "Paragon of parity," "insane," "unmsnly," "I made false and malicious charges," "I villify and abuse the Methdist church,” "I make pretensions of purity, ke." . ,.,.,H,,A,A7 I" ___-_---- . _ . All these charges are made because I placed Mr. Boomer's letter to Mr. Fetch wherein he states "the last minister has been placed on the Crossbill mission" alongside of the action of himself and others in closing the Crosshill chulch. Now it certainly is a. Get that he wrote said letter and it is as certainly a fact that the Crosshill church is closed. Shrewd people generally have a habit of putting this and that together. This - . ' . , . xr__'____, 11L-.. is 51m is being done in this case. They are not anxious about the details of how much wire pulling was done, or on what ground the act. was consummated or even on whom Mr. Boomer Wishes to saddle the responsibility. Ecclesiastical 'as well as political manipulators can hide their handiwork and often cause black to appear almost white. The Methodist Church is certainly responsible for the acts of its officials in just the same Way as it held Mr. Truax responsible for his teaching. Mr, Truax was suspended because the Methodist church considered his teaching unmethodistic. In just the same way as Mr, Truax represented The Protection of Children, EEAT BUSH MEETING. Personal Mientlon Uhurcngtems It was unrighteous on the part of Mr. B, to try and'prevenc freedom of Ponscience and speech by the threat that he made to Mr, Petch and it was at least a strange coincidence that the Cvosshill church was closed so soon after that threat was made. As the Globe refused Mr. Boomer space to cuntinue this discussion, he has concluded to further test your patience. nnd that of your renders by replying through your paper. . However, vituperatiron will newer take the place of argument and it, will require more of the latter commodity than Mr, B. brought out in his last let- ter to convince the intelligence of WMerloo that a righteous thing has hePn done, Rmently I attended another Metho- dist church meeting in my own county where. it was proposed to close another church the same Way and for simi’ar reasons. The method taken there was to discuss the necessity for repairs, the. They did not, as Mr. B. did not, intro- duce a straight resolution to close the church. Their des1gn was frustrated by the people offering to erect a new church if given the right to worship as they conscientiously helievpd Was in harmony with the genius of Method» ism. Methodism, Mr. Boomer represents ir, and by a vote of G to 5 in his Quarter»; ly Board he has succeeded in placing, on i rpcord that, he is a worthy represcntn g tive. Well I congratulate him, At 1 the same, time he will bear watc_hing.,) I replied to his letter to Mr. Patch' publicly at the"Bush meeting."I replied I to his letter in your paper and then; in the Globe, and have attacked no-l body. l Since the Crosshill Camp Meeting Mr. Truax and I held another series of meetings in South Cayuga where a Capt. Robinson, Superintendent of the Methodist S. s., in that place, declared that. he not only like Mr. B. had joined the Canada Holiness Association but that he belonged to it still, but that the Association had backslidden just what Mr. B. is trying to prove. They did not possess enough of a certain commo- dity which he called "love" he said, and a few weeks after said meeting this same doughty S. S Superintendent gave a. practical "exhibition of his alan- ner of loving" by tweaking the nose of his Bible class teacher. He had requested the said Bible class teacher to refrain from teaching as his conscience dictated. Calling hard names, closing churches, or tweaking noses, won’t advance the causes of either Methodism or Christ- ianity. And in the event of any of the hard names which Mr. B. calls me not being true, how will he stand in the reckoning day. Jesus said "blessed are ye when men shall say all manner of evil against. you falsely." Among the possibilities are that M r. B's curses will prove bless- Ings. _ The honor of the Methodist church has been vindicated Mr. B. says by the passing of avote negativing certain imaginary charges said to have been made by me against the Methodist church. All I have said against the Methodist church I reiterate above. The 62 who voted for the suspension of Mr. Truax doubtless also imagined they had vindicated the honor of the Methodist church. The judicial com- mlttee who have replaced bis name on the chureh's list of ministers took a different view. The eruci6ers of Jesus doubtless thought they had vindicated the honor of the Jewish church. The demoralized condition of Jewry to-day tells a different story. H. DICKENSON. P. S.--Sinee above was written we have received a. letter from Mr. Cath- cart the recording steward of the offi- cial Board of the Linwood circuit in which he states that Mr. Boomer is in error when he says that the 5 who re- trained from voting expressed them. selves adversely to myself at their re cent meeting. He says they rather wished to suspend judgment till all the facts were before them. This the val- iant majority refused. And like in Mr. Trunx’s case they preferred to do an unjust thing in order to score ll tem- porary verdict rather: than examine pro- perly both sides of a. question. H. D. In the late controversy over “That! Bush Meeting" Mr, Dickenson inti- mated that I would be likely to ward the last word; but he was then only too correctly voicing his own disposition, for, when the matter had been com- pletely threshed out, he still had some. thing more to say; and when I gener- ously permitted him to have the last word in your paper, he then had rtV course to the columns of that great daily, The Globe. At this juncture of affairs, the Rev, N. Burns, presi- dent of the so called. Canada Holiness Association took up the cndgels and devoted no less than seven and a half columns of the organ of that associa- tion, the"Expositor otHolisss" with a most personal attack upon my religious character, in which article he also was pleased to make some statements concerning the condition in which he found the membership of the church here on one of his visits, which was not only ungenerous but untrue.

However, I determined to take the bull by the horns and fight it out, and at once sent my reply tothe "Expositor" and demanded as a matter of fairness that it should be published verbatim, and at once got an answer that my request would be complied with. I also intimated to the publisher of that paper that I regarded the flood- ing of the community here with so l damaging an article as nothing short of l mrslieioasrtess, and on this being brought ‘to the notice of my said (esteemed) ( friend he with that magnanimity char- l acteristic of himself has ordered a whole _ half thousand additional copies of the ( magazine containing my defence to be lstruck " and distributed, for which l maguanimity I take the earliest oppor- l tnnity of tendering him my sincere thanks.
