In the inâ€" troduction they say : ‘"Ten years ago when welaid the foundation of our herd, our object was to secure a better breed of dairy cattle than the other popular breeds in our neighborhood. We wanted a "General Purpose cow," ifsuch there was. In this we succeeded far beyond our expectations, in the Holstein Friesians." Hallman & Co. have been very successful in the variâ€" ous fairs and swept all before them. They show what can be done by the wide awake, enterprising young farmâ€" ers of the present day.

For the CHRONICLE Reply to Messrs. Dickenson and Cathcart. I am glad you have given Mr. Dickâ€" enson full swing in the columns of your paper. The old saying, "Give a man rope enough and he will hang himself" was, perhaps, never more fully verified than it was in your last issue. For pure wrath, yenom, vindictiveâ€" ness and every other evil passion there has not come to my notice a more com:â€" prehensive exhibition of these disposiâ€" tions than Mr. Dickenson has displayed in his last production, and all from a perfectly holy, consciously divinely guided man, the Holy Ghost promptâ€" ing every utterance. Heaven deliver us from such suidance ! I have no intention whatever of atâ€" tempting co follow him in his meanderâ€" ings or to rebut his many vicious statements. _ They need no rebuttal in Wellesley.. They are known by his his own friendy here to be utterly without foundation. Since the opening of this controversy I have shown ever and over again that this truly pious, infallible man had made statements which were so utterly at variance with the truth, that he did not, in fact he dare not, attempt to support them. Hedeclared, in answer to my questions that "he had not deâ€" nied the Divinity of Christ," nor said "that Joseph was his real father." And when I proved beyond all questâ€" ion anud out of his own mouth that he had done so, what did he do 1 Did he like a man own up that he had erred, and departed sadly from the truth ! No he did not ; but simply endeavored to throw dust in the eyes of your readâ€" ers by abusing me, and now, when I have proved by the vote of the Quartâ€" erly Boarf, of this mission that his libellous Globe letter was wholly unâ€" true, he iéborts to the same kind of tactics. PJut I have too good an opinâ€" ion of the common sense of your readâ€" ers to sappose for one moment that they will accept vituperation and abuse for proof of his assertions. Mr. Dickenson endeavors to show that because there was not a unsniâ€" mous vote in favor of my motion conâ€" demning his Globe letter as wholly untrue, that therefore it was true and he has had the audacity in both his last letters to repeat his flibels ‘of the Methodist, church as set out in The (Globe, wherein he declared that the Methodist Church had closed the Crossâ€" hili church through bigotry and spite for the sin of one or two persons hayâ€" ing invited khim and Mr, Truax to conâ€" duct a campâ€"meeting at that place, and that they had been actuated in doing so by the same spirit that brought about the crucifixion of Jesus, that burnt the martyrs, etc., etc. Waterloo County Chronicle, Thursday, Dec. 7, 1893.â€"Page 5. Now as to the vote of the Quarterly Board, I have to say that it was practâ€" ically unanimous, Mr. Cathcart‘s moâ€" tion to shelve it for three months did not receive a seconder,. There were ten persons present beside the chairâ€" man. Six of these by a rising vote declared his Globe letter to be utterly untrue ; then there was the chairman who was wholly in favor of the motion, making seven to three, and when the nays were called for not a man out of the three, not even Cathcart, dare say by rising that the charges this man had sorecklessly madeweretrue. Wasit not then a unanimous vote; and a most unanimous declaration of a respectable boardof men that the charges this man had so made were utterly false? And when the motion was being discussed Mr. Cathcart did say, "I know the letâ€" ter is not right;" and if not right, then it must be wrong. But to show THAT BUSH MEETING B. H. S. Entertainment Personal Mention Free! Freo! spent cuest that every member of the Board voted for the motion let me quote so high an authority as the president of the C.H.A. who, when called upon by me to prove an assertion made by him in his paper, that on one of his visits to Linwood more than oneâ€"half of the members by their open public testiâ€" mony confessed that they were not converted, gives as proof of that fact that when a test was put to a large meeting that not oneâ€"third of the memâ€" bers rose, and in this case when, the nays to my motion were called for, not one rose. So now we have the fact that it was a unanimous vote settled. Now, althouch I have already submitâ€" ted this evidence of the utter falsity of his charges, he had the audacity to reâ€" peat them and to say that in making them he_ was divinely guided. 1t seems necessary for succinctness briefly to review the facts. At the August meeting of our church board 1t wns} found necessary to curtail the number of preaching places and as the repreâ€" sentatives from the places proposed to be closed j would not make the necâ€" essary motion, Wm. Gillespie of Crossâ€" hill, seconde1 by Jno. Richards of that pace also, moved that the Crosshiil church be c‘osed, and the board was so taken by surprise by the proposition that Messrs. Petch and Pogson, the other two representatives were at once asked if they concurred therein and they replied that they did. The moâ€" tion was then concurred in by the board, Mr. Cathcart supporting it as well as others. Now let Messrs. Petch, Richards, Pogson and Gillespis stand up and hear what this divinely guided man says of your conduct. He says that "you closed this church through bigotry and spite for the sin of this same Win. Petch having invited bhim and Mr. ‘ Truax to conduct a campâ€"meeting, etc., etc.," and that in so doing "you were actuated by the same spirit that brought about the crucifixion of Jesus and burat the martyrs av the stake, etc., etc.," and much more of that kind of indictment. And bear in mind that this man is infallible and was divinely guided to make this assault upon me. Now what do you think of yourselves? A nice lot of Christians, are you not ? But this divine guidance theory of this dear man has been a little spoiled from the fact that he was first divinely guided to charge the closing of this church upon the writer, and when this failed he had another revelation, that the Methodist church had done it. And, although the evidence is of the most indisputable character, that the statementsâ€"all the statementsâ€"made by this man are utterly untrue, yet the chances are that, rather than admit his infallibility, he will persist in it until the day of judgment, for it is a settled principlewith this class of people never to admit an error. _ But now to end this most unpleasant controversy it will be in order for Mr. D. to offer some proof of his libellous statements or stand convicted of having made such a malicious and unfounded stab at his friends, Mr. Petch, Mr. Cathcart and others, and let Mr. D. understand right here that it is evidence that is now wanted and not divine guidance of the kind by which he seems to have been moved since this controversy comâ€" menced. Mr. D. has not shown that I have swerved from the truth in any essenâ€" tial particular. _ It is true that in ex: pressing myself to Mr. Petch on & post card concerning: this Globe letter 1 exceeded the privileges of a post card, and on my attention being called thereâ€" to and without such pressure as he asâ€" serts, I withdrew the offensive stateâ€" ment and expressed regret for making it. This affords an opportunity to poke a little fun at the possibility of sinning and repeoting. No, no, he doesn‘t do that, and we are willing to admit that one of these things he does not do, but the other we have clearly shown he has done. It may here be in order to ask Mr. D. whether it was the Publican or Pharisee that went down tohis house justified. Let me point out just one more failâ€" ure in this man‘s professed divine guidâ€" ance. He says The Globe refused to publish my letter, and this was eviâ€" dently written after my letter appeared in The Globe and was published withâ€" out pressure whatever. Verily, we live in strange times! I have now proved most conclasively that this man published a most untruthful slander against the Methodist Church â€" Will he withdraw it and like a man express regret for making it. We await his decision. [ We think it best in the interests of ali concerned that this controversy should now be brought to an end. There has been a great deal of repitiâ€" tion, necessarily so, perhaps, that was positively wearying to the general reader. _ Both controversialists wield a ready pen, but the little incident of the closing of the Crosshill appointment has been magnified out of all proporâ€" tion to its importance. â€" It appeared from the coriespondence that the apâ€" pointment was closed on the motion of the representatives themselves of that appointment. As far as opening our columns for the discussion of theologâ€" ical subjects is concerned, it is plainly outside of the province of a local newsâ€" paper.
