Montreal.The meeting was tiie largest that has been held this season Secretary D.A.Rowland had charge of the meeting and introduced the speaker.Rev.Mr.Magg’s address was entirely different from those which arc usually delivered at these meetings.On introducing Ids subject, the speaker said he wuh not going to take a text, but would speak upon the subject of “Books.” Since coming to Canada he had noticed that our newspapers were filled with advertisements about great bargains which the publishers of books claimed to offer the public.The nature of a people could usually be determined by the kind of reading matter which is found in our newspapers.As there were so many books being advertised throughout Canada to-day, he took it as a good sign that we as a people must be strong intellectually.Regarding the kind of books that should be read with profit, lie said he would hand what lie considered the ten best devotional books of the day : First—He would have the Bible.This book was to be as the sun, to which the other nine were simply (planets to move around the sun.The names of the other nine were : Pilgrim's Progress, Grace Abounding, Imitation of Christ, Holy Living and Dying, Confessions of St.Augustine, Love’s Se rious Call, Baxter Smith’s Rest, The Pride of Devotion of Bishop Andrews,and Geo.Herbert’sPoems.The Principal’s address was very instructive, and was much appreciated.The Secretary announced that he had another intellectual treat in store for those wh > could attend the meeting next Sunday.Mr.A.M.Mackay, editor of Sunshine, Montreal, was secured to address the meeting next Sunday.Mr.Rowland said Mr.Mackay was a bright, instructive and witty speaker.He assured them they would not be disappointed if they could be fortunate enough to hear Mr.Mackay next Sunday.Hi subject will be one of great interest to all men, viz.Twentieth Century Men.ROYAL HUNGARIAN ORCHESTRA TO-MORROW NIGHT.This should be a capital concert.All lovers of this branch of music
