\u2018 The resolution was unanimously agreed to.THE EXTINCTION OF MISSION DEBT.Dean Evans presented the report of the committee for the extinction of the Mission Fund Debt.In asking to be discharged (their labors having been completed) the committee wished to acknowledge the mercy and goodness of God in moving the hearts of his people to devise generous things, and secondly to thank publicly and with all sincerity, the members of the church throughout the diocese for the kind and liberal response with which the appeal was almost universally received.he committee felt that in very many cases the amounts received were the result of z-al, Christian self-denial on the part of the giv- ers\u2014for it was not from the wealthiest members of the church that the r quired amount was received.The sums contributed, which had not yet been auk- nowledged in the Synod reports, would all be found acknowledged in that which will shortly be forthcoming.The report was signed by the Dean himself and by Archdeacon Ker, Rural Dean Harris, Rural Dean Robinson.Rural Dean Jea- kins, Rural Dean Bell and Rural Dean Carmichael.The Bishop-Coadjutor, in dscharging the committee, expressed the great debt of gratitude which the members of the Svnod owed them, and to the contributors.CONGRESS FALLS THROUGH.The Rev.J A.Doull reported that the suggestion of holding a church congress at Toronto had fallen through.beseemed impossible to arouse any enthusiasm on the matter in the Toronto diocese.He suggested, however that the committee of that Synod tery; Mount Royal Park; City Gardens, Lafontaine Park.should continue in office.The Rev.Dr.Symonds express:d great iniquitous system of money which is: regret that the proposal had fallen through, making it impossible to get full and free discussion of the many great questions of the time.It was of the utmost importance, he thought, \u2018in the real interest of the active, energetic life of the Church of England.that such: topics should from time to time ba dix- cussed at a genéral congress.It was a sign of decadence that there was such a lack of interest in the great diocese of oronto.Hé¢ concurred with the suggestion: that the committee should continue in office, and expressed the hope that a congress might be called on à more limited scale.(Applause.) GRATITUDE TO DR.DAVIDSON.Archdeacon Ker moved a resolution offering hearty congratulations to Dr.Davidson, K.C., the Church advocate, on the decision rendered in the case of the Bishop vs.John Macfarlane and others, and acknowledging his ce.seless and loving labors on behalf of the Church, and the splendid ability which for over forty years he has placed at her disposal.The motion was carried with acclamation, the Bishop Coadjutor remarking that no resolution could express {he great debt of the Uburch to Dr.Davidson for the valued service he had rendered with love and eurnestness to the church of hig vocation THE NEW - EXECUTIVE.The scrutineers reported that the following gentlemen had been elected on the executive committee.Clerical \u2014Rural Dean Carm chael, Dean Evans, Archdeacon Nayior, Canon Longhurst, Rural Dean Robinson, Rural Dean Jeakins, Archdeacon Ker, Rural Dean Dart, Rural Dean Harris, the Rev.Smith, Archdeacon Norton, Archdeacon Davidson, the Rev.G.O.\u2018Lroop, the Rev.N.A.F.Bourne, Canon Chambers, Canon Dixon, Rural Dean Taylor, Rural Dean Senders.Lay \u2014Messrs.H.J.Mudge, R.White, Dr.T.P.Butler, Dr.A.Johnson, Senator Owens, W.H.Robingon, J.M.Fisk, Chancellor Bethune, LK.Buzzell Judge Foster, Thomas Hunter, A.Prid- ham, 8.O.Shorey, G.Durnfard, E.A.Dyer, or pul Davidson, G.F.C.Smith, F.H.thewson, Edgar Judge, E.R.Smith.8 THE HARDSHIP OF MARRIAGE LICENSES.Archdeacon Davidson presented the re- Protestants being charged eight dollars for a marriage license, and that the com- tion and compact with other non-Reman- en of this province, to secufe the removal of a flagrant ineguatity, and.of \"disability affecting the non-Roman population, with final legislative sanotion of the same on the matter.\u2019 out that the fund established by these marriage fees went towards the support of education, and it would be a very ser!- ous thing to in any way limit a fund used for that purpose.The Rev.Dr.Symonds said if people did not like to pay eiglit dollars fee the remedy was easy.They could simply ask the clergy to publish the banns.Dr.Rexford, in reply ta Archdeacon Ker, said that McGill University and other institutions for higher education bere- fited from the fund, In proportion to the amount received.Archdeacon Ker said the charge of eight dollars pressed very hardly on poor people, and it was not right that they rhould have to contribute in this way to keep the doors vf the universitr:s open for those who ought to be able to pay their way independently of such a fund.Meanwhile the papers were full of complaints about the poor siate of elementary education.Valuable money had been going to superior education, and the result wag that primary education was mn exceedingly evil case in the pro vince.Me added that the members oi the Roman Chuch were not penalized to the extent of eight «lollurs.Dr.Alex.Johnson askvd 1f the fact of people having their banns published branded thein as of social infeviority?Bishop Carmichael said his expzrience was that the number of people whose bauns were published was increasing amazingly\u2014and they constituted all classes of society.Fully half of the mar- ringes last year in St.George's Church were by banns.The Rev.Frank Charters remarked that tire tax resulted in mauy peovle going over the border, where the marnage laws were more lax, to be married.The Rev.A.I.Boune sud in every other province of tlre Dominion only two dollars were charges.Young people ought not to be \u2018axed cight dollars, especially remembering that when > young man determine d to become married he way doing one of the grandest things he could for his country.Dr.Davidson said he hod always urged, even to those dear to him, that marriages should be made according to the law of the Church\u2014by publication of banus.But he could understand why some young people felt a delicocy in having their names called out in church, and he should continually protest against the imposition of this unjust, psclal-class tux- The Roman Catholic bishops bad o right to grant marriage licenses; why sheuld the Protestant episcopate be robbed of it?Simply because of the power of the state.Je characterized the tax as mean and contemntible.If education was wortir the while, let them stand up for it like men ond pay for :t straightforwardly.(Applause) Don't let them tax the young man\u2014who was doing a service to the state by getting married-\u2014in order that they might pay for the education of the rich.\u2019 Dr.Rexiord said if this money were withdrawn the academies would be -rip- pled and their status destroyed.The Synod then cdjourned, F.Charters the Rev.J.H.Bell, Canon \u2018 port of a committee protesting agamst mittee, with authormation, by consul\u2018a- | The Rev.Principal Rexford pointed !

THE Unt- VERSITY., Dean Moyse denies the statement made in Wednesday's debate on education in the Provincial Legislature that in consequence of the close affiliation of the Normal School to McGill University, \u2018the school is being used as a feeder Lo the university rather than a source pt supply of teachers.\u201d It was, he said, a comparatively rare thing for a stur dent to come to the University from.phe Normal Secnool, and he questioned very much whether there were more than two or three \u2018at the university at the present time.The Normal School bursaries bad recently been revived to encourage Normal School students\u2019 to take at least a part of the Arts course, which would unquestionably give them a better equipment for their future work as teachers.Dean Moyse felt that so long as teachers\u2019 salaries remained at their present low standard there would be a scarcity of male teachers in this province.It could hardly be assigned as the university\u2019s fault that a young mau, in making a choice of his life's work, should turn aside from teaching for a more lucrative profession.$47,000 FOR A HORSE.Chicago, Feb.9.\u2014John I.Madden paid $47,000 for

5,487 females employed in mining in Great Britain and Ireland, ] presume, in coal mining.As I have long understood that female labor in coal mines was abolished by act of! parliament will you please say in what capecity those 5,487 females were employed?Ans.\u2014The law prevents the employment of females underground.The pit laeses,\u201d as they are called, work at the surface of the mines, principally In tending the screens which separate the coal after it is dumped at the pits\u2019 mouth.THE LIFE-LINE.M.W.\u2014WI1ll you please describe how the lifedine ie used?Aps.\u2014When a shipwreck occurs off the shore where the surf ie too heavy for a lifeboat to reach the veesel, a line is thrown out from the fife- saving station on shore over the wreck by méans of rockets.When this has been secured, it ie drawn in by people on the wreck; ty» the first line is attached a etropger line, and to this again a hawser, along which the shipwrecked persous can wake their way or be brought from the vessel to the ehore.Lifeboats also carry iife-lines, and similarly lines are attached to !Wfe-buoys, to enable one in the water more easily to reach the boat or buoy.The ; term \u2018life-line\u2019 is also applied to the rope stretched about the deck, or from the Last.for the safety of the sailors tn heavy weather,or when they are among the yards.BECOMING ACQUAINTED.| X.Y Z\u2014A gentleman met a lady at a, party, at the house of a mutual friend.1.: Would !L be permiselble for him to visit her without receiving an invitation from her, or any other member of her family?2.Would it be a breach of etiquette for him to write to her with the object of im- prcving the acquaintance?Ans.\u20141.He could hardly call on the lady, offhand, merely oh the strength of having met Ler at a party.In cities and large towns, where society is neceesarily more complex tran in smaller places, it is quite understood tbat a person to wbom one is intro- dveed at a party is an acquaintance for that occasion, and need not be so considered afterwards unless one chooses.In smaller communities where everybody practically either knows, or knows about, everybody else, less formality is needed, and less is observed.In any case, it the man wishes to call, he has the privilege of asking if he may do so.2.Tt would be very inadvieable, apart from any question of \u2018etiquette,\u2019 to begin a correspondence on so slight an acquaintance.It js difficult for one to pronounce finally who does not know all the circumetances.General principles sometimes fall to meet particular instances.| TEACHING WITHOUT DIPLOMA.F.S., Toronto \u2014i.ls there any part of Ontario, or of Canada, where one could teach on a permit, and is the time for granting such a permit

CANADIAN MINISTRY.Toronto.Feb.8\u2014The news that the Rev.Dr.George Jackson, of Edinburgh, is to cross the Atlantic and become paz- tor of Sherbourne Street Methodist Church next July, in succession to the Pev.R.R.Bowles, is the cause of considerable talk in Methodist circles.The fact that Dr.Jackson has been invited to take the pastorate was not generally known until the cable to-day told of his acceptance of the call.For the past two mouths the famous preacher has been away from his Wesleyan mission in Edin- burg on account of ill-health, brought \u2018n by over-work, and it is asserted that his decision to come to Canada is influ- .niced by the hope that the Canadian climate may prove beneficial to his health.It is said there may be some opposition to the new move.This is the first instance of a Canadian Conference calling 4 preacher across the Atlantic since the formation of the Methodist Church of Canada.and some prominent Methodists think it is a slight on the ability of the \u2018Canadian ministry, and are of the opinion that the move is an unwise one.Jackson is yet a comparatively voung man.Twn vears ago he visited Toronto and preached in Sherbourne Street Church and the Metropolitan Church.At that time he made a most favorable impression.MINERS ON STRIKE MEN AT PUNXSUTAWNEY CLAIM THAT ALTOONA SCALE HAS AGAIN BEEN VIOLATED.Punxsutawney, Pa, Feb.8 At a mass meeting

the President's views.ce FROZEN TO DEATH.Saskatoon, Feb.9.\u2014John H.Humphrey.a settler, living forty miles north of here, was frozen to death on Saturday morning.He was going home with à load of

APPEAL FOR THE BAL LOT THAT WOMEN MAY - FIGHT THE LIQUOR INTERESTS.Baltimore, Md., Feb.8.\u2014At the second day's session of the annual convention of the Woman's National Suffrage Association the report of the treasurer was read by Mrs.Harriet Taylor Upton, of which the following is an extract: \u2014 Receipts, including last year's balance, $28,333; disbursements, $16,564; ba ance, $11,769.The five states standing at the head : in point of membership are:\u2014New York, | Massachusetts, California, Nebraska and lowa.The five states contributing the largest | amount of money to the treasury are: \u2014 Pennsylvania, Oregon, California, Mas sachusetts and New York.The five associations making the greatest percentage of gain in membership are:\u2014Washington, Oregon, West Virginia, Maryland.Oklahoma and Indian l'erritory.Eighteen states, includ ng New York, made gains in membership.A new association, \u2018The Colleg: Wo-! man\u2019s Equal Suffrage League,\u2019 was admitted to membership.The membership was never so large or the financial showing so good, but with an active woman suffrage campaign In progress in Oregon, to be terminated by the vofers at the election in June.1906, there never was so much need for maney.Every believer is urged to show his or her belief in a practical way.Reports were also submitted by the auditors and by the standing commit- tes on presidential suffrage, enrollment, press and church work.The address of Mrs.Mary E.Craigie was a lengthy appeal, including numerous statistics to ccntinue Whe effort to secure the ballot in order that an end may be put to the liquor business, the most hostile and dangerous foe which society has to enceunter.She ma/ntain- ed that this evil could not be sucess fully met until women had been clothed with the right to vote.\u2018It is a well- known fact,\u201d she said, \u2018that in most of the State Legiclatures to-day the liquor element controls, and reform legislation is almost always defeated.The power of the hallot was seen recently in one of the western states, where for several ges- sions of the Legislature, reform meas\u201d ures had all been defeated.The anti-: saloon league began an agitation, and, twentv-five members who had voted against their measures, and who were up for re-election.were defeated at the voll.and twenty-five men nominated through their influence and pledged to support temperance measures, were e'ect- ed.\u2019 ) In conclusion.Mrs.Craigie said-\u2014 We beg of women to pause and consider the work that our Jenders have carried on | so patientJy, so untiringly.so .unselfift- .Iv.for the last fifty vears, the visilleP effects of which have been better ecdh-! ditions for our sex than the world has ever sern before in the history of women.You accept all these benefits, you enjoy all these privileges without thought of the long years of laborious planning and working.amid prejudiced and disappointments that would have utterly discouraged women of less exalted purpose and less self-sacrificing endurance.\u2019 mes A TRUE ROMANCE OF THE.HAREM.Sir Frederick St.John, who for so long represented (Great Britain as envoy in various parts of Central and South America, has followed the example of Sir Horace Humboldt.formerly ambassador at Vienna, in publishing his reminiscences, comments \u2018T.À.T (\u2018Tales and Talk\u2019).; One of Sir Frederick\u2019s\u2019 most curious adventures occurred at Constantinople, where an odalisque of the harem of the ceposed Sultan Murad escaped and took refuge in the British Embassy, threatening to stab herself if any attempts were made to expel her.She was, ac vording to Sir Frederick, \u2018a very beautiful, delicate-looking, young Circassian,\u2019 and it fell to the lot of Sir Frederick, under instructions to the ambassader, Tord Goschen, to conduct her in masculine disguise to the launch of the British guardship, which took her up the Bos- phorus to the Embassy's summer home at Therapia, where she was to remain until the embarrassing question what to do with her could be decided.The Sultan, Abdul Hamed, demanded her surrender.but Lord Goschen declined to give her up, and she was eventually returned Lo her parents.Backache Is From the Kidneys \u2014 Kidney disease\u2014marked by backache, pains in the limbs, scanty, dark colored urine, puffiness about the eyes, dropsi- i cal swelling and gradual loss of flesh\u2014's always to be dreaded both on account of the suffering it entails and because | of its fatality.{The kidneys and liver share alike the i responsibility of filtering poisons {rom the blood, and it is therefore necessary to regulate both these organs in order to effect a cure of kidney disease.This fact accounts for the extraordinary success of Dr.Chase\u2019s Kidney: Liver Pills, which is the only treatment obtainable having a direct and combined action on the liver and kidneys.For years evidence has been piling up which goes to prove that Dr.Chase\u2019 i Kidney-Liver Pills have positively cured ! obstinate and complicated cases of kid- nev disease which defied physicians and ordinary kidney medicines.Dr.Chase\u2019s Kidnev-Liver Pills, one pill a dose, 25 cents a box, at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto.DOMINION LINE TEAMSHIPS PORTLAND TO LIVERPOOL Weekly Saflings,
