 THE QUEEN QTY OF CANADA 
 
 "I dreamed not then that, ere the rolling year 
 Had tilled itw circle, I should wander here 
 In musing awe ; should tread this wondrous world, 
 See all its store of inland waters hurled 
 In one vast volume down Niagara's steep 
 Or calm behold them in transparent sleep, 
 Where the blue hills of old Toronto shed 
 Their evening shadows o'er Ontario's bed." 
 
 — MoOKK. 
 
 |()R()NT(> is kiK.wn as the "Queen City of CanudH, " and certainly 
 the title is not a misnomer. Montreal is recognized as tlie 
 connuercial metropolis of the Dominion, Ott<iwa is the political 
 centre, Hamilton is noted for its manufacturing interests, hut 
 Toronto is the undouhted educati<ma], social and religious 
 centre, and everything considered, exceeds in interest any of its sister 
 cities. Those who wish to see a typical Canadian city cannot do better 
 than visit Toronto. 
 
 The Queen City is located on Dike Ontario, about two ho.n-s' sail from 
 Niagara, and a little more tlian 2(X) miles from Detroit. It is the capital 
 oi the Province „i Ontario, and has tribubvry to it as tine an agricultural 
 c.initry as the sun shines on. Viewed from the water the city is not seen 
 at Its best, ^he land on which it is built rises consideml)ly t(. the north, 
 but not surticiently to make an imposing Jippearance from the <leck of thJ 
 mcoming .steamer. The visitor will tind it, however, a most charming place 
 with many p..ints of interest. It has a population of about 2()(),(HM) people, 
 as industrious, as upright, and as happy as any in the world.

 CLIMATE OF TORONTO. 
 
 In regard to the cliniHto Dk. A hams says : 
 
 Tho suininer climate of Toronto is icmarkahlv healthful and e(iual)le, 
 and is one of the finest in the world. The days are liritjht and sunny ; 
 there are no niosipiito.s or sand Hies, and no diseases due to climatic 
 iiitiuences, such as nialaiia or hay fever. Sunstroke is almo.st unknown in 
 the re;..{ion.

 Almost every phiiit that requires a hot siinimei' can thrive in Toronto. 
 The jtroximity of such a large hody of fresh water as that of Ijiike Ontjirio 
 undoiiltttHlly assists largely in eijualizing the temperature. The clinuitie 
 conditions of Toronto, such as humidity, temperature aiitl number of clear, 
 sunny days, compare favoralily in summer with those ot the most noted 
 resorts of the world. The average tempc^rature in summer is lietween ten 
 and twenty degrees hotter than that of ihe resorts of (leorgia, Florida and 
 South Carolina in winter, ami between ten and twenty degrees cooler than 
 the tem)»erature of these Stiites in summer, while the elevation above the 
 sea is about the same, and there is little dirt'erence in humidity.

 ture during the summer months of Toronto, Atlantic City and Denver :

 THE STREETS OF,,TORONTO. 
 
 Toiontu has 250 iiiiKs r.f streets, the niaji.nty of them well paved with 
 as|.|ialt, liiiik, and wood, and kept <|iiite elean. The main Inisiness

 Toronto liay and runs directly north, dividing the city into two almost 
 e(jual halves. It continues in almo.st a <lirect line through the country to 
 Lake Simcoe, and is said to he, with the exception of the old Roman roads 
 in England, the longest street in the world. Queen Street is remarkalile 
 for the number of its rebiil .stores, second-hand sho|)s, etc. It has nearly 
 five miles of shop front, and over fifteen hundred .stores. Tniversity 
 Avenue, on which the Head(piarters Buihling is located, is a wide street, 
 with .six rows of luxuriant .shade trees and two drive-ways.

SMHRHOURNE STREET. 
 
 THE PARKS. 
 
 The ])iiik iiiea of thu city is 1.153 acre's, aiul these resting places are 
 scattered in all sections. Perhaps the most attractive is known as "The 
 Island, " which contnins .'{25 acres, and is situated about a mile and a L,df 
 from the southern limit of the city across a beautiful bay, on which large 
 and conmiodious ferries run back and forth every fifteen minutes. Dr. 
 Adams thus describes the Island : 
 
 "The l.sland, as it is popularly called, has done nuich towaid making 
 Toronto the attractive Sunnner Resort which it is, and has also contribute<l 
 largely to the healthfulness and prosperity of its citizens. The formati<m 
 of the Island is itself souu-what extraordinary, consisting as it does of a 
 sandy strip of land about six miles in length, narrow in places, and widen- 
 ing out at its western extremity to its greatest })readth, which is here about 
 a mile. Originally it f(»rmed a peninsula, what is now the eastern channel 
 being continuous with the mainland. Its wide.st part is curiously inter- 
 sected with miniature ponds and lagoons, in which are to be found beautiful 
 
 U 
 

 l)iilrush(.'s, wliitc iiinl yullow wattT lilies and iU{U!itic jilaiits. uinl which 
 tmcti wort; the eoiitinuul iihidiiii^-plaee nf turtles, frogs and iniiiinierahlu 
 waterfowl. These lagoons now are the delight of the canoeist and boat- 
 man, and are safe and pleasant places for indulgence in a(|iiatic sjMirts of 
 all kinds. The appearance of the Island is very singidar. It lies .so low 
 that Ontario's broad expanse can be seen over it. 
 
 "Centre Island is now covered with niunerous trees, and an even anl 
 well-carpeted lawn, which form a handsome park, and it is a great family 
 resort. On .some portions of the Island there is but a single tree, which 
 adds t(i the j)ecidiarity of its ajipearance. Pretty villas, suunuer cottages 
 and hotels are scattered over its surface. At Centre Island the Royal 
 Canadian Yacht Club have a handsome club ho\ise. 
 
 (>UEKx\S I'.VKK. 
 
 
 " Hiudan's Point, at the western extremity, is the Coney Island of 
 Toronto. Here of an afternoon or evening a tine band discourses sweet 
 music. Here are the hurdy-gurdy, the merry-go-round, etc. The j)ronien- 
 ades are usually thronged with peo|>le, some in ordinary .sunnm-v attire, 
 others in boating jerseys and camping costume or tennis suits. Most 
 have come across from the city on the ferries ; others, with their sweethearts 
 or friends, ha\e crossed the l)ay in canoe, rowboat or yacht, while others 
 who reside in cottages or tents on the Island have strolled to the Point, 
 to join the merry and motley thiong.

 promenade of a sunnner afternoon oi' evening. Here you will .see typical 
 Hpecimens of Canadian j)eople, venerable old age, niiihlle life with its sturdy 
 manhood and womanhood, athlvtic young men and beautiful maidens in all 
 the buoyancy of life, and childhood with the Hush of innocence on the

Another park wortliy of niontion' is High Park, a l»eautiful Htrctch of 
 untliihiting country of 375 acres, conbiining ponds, ravines, In-eezy hills 
 and beautiful picnic spots. At the extreme north of the city is Reservoir 
 Park, one of the most charming little places upon the continent. Here is 
 a reservoir cipahle i>f containing al)out ^45,000.000 gallons of water, sur- 
 r<junde(l by forty-two acres of park land, kept in magniticent condition. 
 The Horticultural (Jardens, a park of ton and a half acres, is a show spot 
 Jiearly in the centre of the city. It contains a l)eautiful jMilm hou.se, with 
 a clioice selection of jtalms, orchids and Howering jilants, in ad<lition to 
 iiandsome grounds laid out with l)rilliant-colored seasonable flowers. The 
 Pavilion, in which some of the large Convention meetings will be held, is 
 located in the Gardens. Seats are provided througli the grounils, which

 PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS. 
 
 Park, on the banks of the D<m, is a very pretty little place. Mount 
 Pleasant Cemetery is a charming sjjot about three miles frc.m Massey Hall. 
 There are other parks that will repay a visit by those who come to the 
 Convention. 
 
 PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 
 
 There are a number of splendid public buildings in Toronto, The new 
 IMty Hall is, with possibly the one in Philadelphia excepted, the hirgest 
 and finest municii)al building in America. Its C(jst will not be far shoit of 
 ^2,000,000. It is to be regretted that it was not completed in time for the 
 Oimvention.

Tliu pHrliameiit liuilding has n tine site in the Queen's Park. Tiii» 
 edifice cost a iiiillii)n and a half, and, wonderful to relate, waH oreeted for 
 almost exactly the amount estimated before it was commenced. A 
 splendid view of the city can he obtained from the tower. [ 
 
 An Kiif^lisli joun.alist who recently visited the city pays the following ' 
 tribute to the Legislative Building : 
 
 " Tlie new Parliament liuilding is a superl) edifice in brown stone, and 
 in what is known as ' Neo-Grecian ' style, and altogether different from any 
 other public building in Canada. The total cost was barely a million and 
 a half dollars, yet tlie effect, both within and without, is infinitely more 
 imjiressive and sumptuous tlian the Capitcd at Albany, which cost upwards 
 of ^2(),()(M(,(MH>. The frescoes and decorations of the interior, particularly 
 that of the legislative chandler, which is fitted up for ninety-fou? mendiers, 
 
 are worth travelling a long way to see. There has been no 'jobbing ' here. 
 The oak carving on every hand is really of oak, and not of papier-mache, 
 and the furniture and appointments, even down to the dinner service of the 
 Speaker- wJiich tjie cliief messenger exhibited to me with a proper pride — 
 are of the most solid and sterling description, selected with an eye both to 
 beauty and durability." 
 
 Toronto is particularly proud of her Educational Institutions w^hich are 
 clustered aroinid Toronto Tniversity in the Queen's Park. The University 
 is a magnificent stone building with (piite extensive ground.s, which are 
 used by the students for j)laying football, baseball and lacrosse. 
 
 Victoria University is an institution in which Torontci Methodism takes 
 great pride. Tt is one of the oldest educational establishments in the

 seen by every delegate to the Convention.

 NORMAL SCHOOL BUILDING.

There are over Hfty Public ScIiooIh in Tonmto, not including <i Itirge- 
 niunber of Se|Mimte Schools. Thero are alwo threo Ctdlugiate Institutes 
 and more than forty Kindergartens. The Public School system of Toronto 
 has no superior anywhere. Education is conipuls iry for all, and as text- 
 books are free the poorest children am attend. 
 
 Osgoode Hall is the seat of the law courts. It is said to be by art critics 
 one of the finest specimens of Grecian architecture on the continent. 
 
 In hospitals, asylums and benevolent institutions of various kinds, the 
 city is well eipUpped, the citizens having jtrovided generously for those 
 upon whom the hand of misfortune has fallen. 
 
 OSGOODE HALL. 
 
 The Educational Department occupies a whole stpiare in the centre of 
 the city, and comprises some interesting exhibits which are always ojien to 
 the public free of charge. 
 
 The Normal School building has a museum which is worth visiting. 
 
 There are three Medical Colleges — Toronto University Medical College, 
 Trinity Medical College, and the Women's Medical College. They are all 
 well conducted and scientifically equipped. 
 
 A QTY OF HOMES. 
 
 " Except on the main business thoroughfares most of the streets have 
 boulevards of well-kept lawns and shade trees. Many of the residential 
 districts present on each side of tlie avenue a regular forest line of chest- 
 nuts, elms and maples. The residential {xirtion of the city is to the 
 stranger one of the most pleasing features of the town, for Toronto is a 
 veritivble ' City of Homes,' and its citizens vie with (me another in the 
 artistic appearance and conveniences ofe their home life. There are no

 owns. Perhaps nowhere else will he found niori! uniijue and artistic 
 architectural desi^im for private residences than alon<{ some of the fashion- 
 ahle resiilential tiiorouj^hfares of Tonmto. I)eli;,'htful glimpses of lawn, 
 flowers and shrubhery are exceedingly common aroun<l thi; homes of tlie 
 hetter classes, and even the poorer people often hoast tlieir little strip of 
 lawn or modest Hower garden. Among the more fashionable residential 
 streets may ho mentioned .larvis, St. (ioorge, Sherbourne and Hloor. " 
 
 THE STREET CARS. 
 
 The city posHOHses a street car system unexcelled on the continent, 
 llapid transit at cheap fares, in the most comfortable cars that can be 
 devised, are the leiuling features of its service. For a four-cent fare one 
 can ride upon this system a disbince of ten miles from the extreme east end 
 to the extreme west end of the city. By this means t<iurists are enabled to 
 visit all the points of interest within the municipality at the chea|»e.st rate 
 and the least possible expenditure of time. 
 
 The rates of fare, with free transfers to or from any part of city, are: 
 Cash, 5 cents ; night (after 12 p.m.), 10 cents ; tickets, (> for 25 cents, or 
 25 for Sl.W. Limited tickets, good from 5.IJ0 to 8 a.m., and from 5 to ()..'iO 
 in the\'vening, 8 for 25 cents.

 HOW TO SEE THE QTY. 
 
 Many ploaHiint trips can bu uiiulc by Ntruut car, a few of which aro 
 sugguHtcd : 
 
 1. Take the Helt Line, whiclj nins on King, Sherl)ourn«', Bloor Streets 
 and Spadina Avenue, making a complete circle. For one fare paHsengerH 
 can ride seven miles and get ott'at the very place from whence they st»irtetl.

 way Tabernacle Methodist Churches, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, 
 McMaster University, and other interesting places. 
 
 2. To reach High l*ark, take either King or Queen Street cars west to 
 the end of tho line, then walk a few steps to the entrance of Park. If

 3. Queen's Park is nearly in the centre of the city. Take C«»llege and 
 Yonge or Carlton and College Street cars, and ask to be put ott" at the 
 Parliament Buildings. A walk stmight up Cniversity Avenue will lead to 
 the Parliament Buildings. The Park is in the rear. 
 
 4. For Toronto Island, fen-y boats leave wharf at foot of Yonge Street 
 every fifteen minutes. A fine trip is to take boat to Island Park and walk 
 around the lake shore to Hanlan's Point (about two miles), and bike boat 
 from there to the city. If there is not time for this, and a chcjice has t<.> be

 Content, whatever lot I see, 
 Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.

 When, by thy grace, the victory's won, 
 E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, 
 Since God through Jon^an leadeth me

 A Charge to Keep I Have. (S.M.— Tune No. 131.) 
 
 1 A charge to keep I have, 
 
 A God to glorif}', 
 A never-dying soul to save. 
 And fit it for the sky. 
 
 2 To soivc the present ago. 
 
 My calling to fidfil ; 
 Oh, may it all my pow'rs engage 
 To do my Master's will ! 
 
 3 Arm me with jealous care, 
 
 As in thy sight to live ; 
 And oh, thy servant, Lord, prci-iue, 
 A strict account to give ! 
 
 4 Help me to watch and pray, 
 
 And on thyself rely ; 
 Assured, if I my trust betray, 
 I shall for ever die.

 1 Lord, if at thy command 
 
 The word of life %\ e sow, 
 Watered by thy almighty hand, 
 The seed shall surely grow.

 A large increase shall give. 
 And multiply the faithful race 
 Who to thy glory live.

 Of gospel blessings seiul. 
 And let the soul-converting power

 And by the joy of grace prepare 
 For fuller joys above.

 S JesuB conquered when he fell, 
 Met and vanquished earth and hell ; 
 Now he leads you on to swell 
 
 The triumphs of his cross. 
 Though all earth and hell appear, 
 Who will doubt, or who can fear ? 
 God, our strength and shield, is near; 
 We cannot lose our cause.

 Soon you'll join that glorious train 
 
 Who shout their Saviour's praise.

 TORONTO'S BUSIEST CORNER 
 
 ^ 
 
 * 
 
 >HE great stores of a large 
 city always command 
 the interest of visitors. 
 While Toronto has many fine 
 stores, that of the ROBERT 
 SIMPSON CO., Limited, 
 stands out exceptional, and is 
 withoutcomparison in Canada. 
 It is a splendid specimen of 
 modeiii architecture ; its struc- 
 tural metal work, fire-proofed 
 in terra cotta, making it an 
 absolutely fire-proof building. 
 With high ceilings and broad 
 aisles, it is one of the most 
 comfortable stores in the hot- 
 test summer days. Symmetry, 
 system and science mark its 
 construction from basement to 
 dome, from north to south, 
 from east to west. 
 
 There is hardly anything the shopper will want that cannot 
 be found within its walls. Primarily and essentially a great dry 
 goods store, the finest in Dress Goods, Silks, Trimmings, Mantles, 
 Millinery, Gloves and Smallwares, Men's and Boys' Clothing are 
 on sale in its several departments. 
 
 Outside of these and many other staple lines, the store-planning 
 includes a thoroughly equipped drug store, under the management 
 of graduated pharmacists ; one of the best grocery stores in the city, 
 and a basement, unique in construction, wliere Household Goods 
 and Novelties of al! kinds will be found. 
 
 The management are always glad to have those who come as 
 strangers to the city make themselves at home within the store, and 
 wander through its many acres of floor-space at their own sweet 
 will and pleasure.

 The I.O.F. is doing business in ttie Dominion of Canada, in the 
 United States, and in Great Britain and Ireland. 
 
"TEMPLE BUILDING." 
 
 CHK ILLUS'IM^ATION on the opjKKsitc pagt' represents the maprnificent Temple 
 at tile corner of Kichniond and Bay Stre(!ts, Toronto, the home of the 
 INDKPKNDKNT ORDKR OF FOFiKSTKKS. The building, which 
 is one of the "objects of interest" that ever* visitor to 'IVjronto should see, has 
 V)een erected under the special sujierintendence of Dr. Oronhyatekha, Sui)reme Chief 
 Hanger of the Order, and will be, if not the best, certainly among the best and most 
 comi)lete of its kind in the Dominion. The erection of this handsome edifice was 
 commenced in the si)ring of 1W)5, the corner-stone being laid })v His Kxcellency the 
 Karl of Aberdeen, (jrovernor-Cieneral of Canada, on the 30th of May in that year. 
 
 The first two stories are built of Credit Valley brown stone, and the remaining 
 eight stories of brownish red brick, trimmed throughout with Credit Valley and 
 C(jnnecticut brown stone. The whole structure is lined with, and the steel therein 
 is protected by, fire-i)roof iM)rouH terra cotta of superior manufactiire. As a matter 
 of fact, the whole building will be as thoroughly fire-i)roof as modern science can 
 make it, there being nothing to bin'u except the window-frames and sashes. 
 
 The building will contain two thoroughly fire-proof elevator shafts, in which 
 will l)e three of the largest and finest elevators in the city, liesides the stairs, which 
 will be of steel, slate and marble. 
 
 The roof also, will be of absolutely fire-proof material, on which bonfires might 
 be built without injury to it or the building. 
 
 There are four tiers of fire-proof vaults in the Iniilding, extending from the 
 basement to the ninth story. To guard against any possible danger of fire, within 
 or without, two standing water pi[)es have been placed in the building with steam 
 liuni)) to make pressure and hose connections on every floor. 
 
 The Temi>le will be heated by steam and lighted by electricity i)roduced on the 
 liremises by the latest and most ai)i)roved machinery. Ventilation has received 
 special attention, and the sanitary arrangements are in every way up to date. 
 
 The Temple is intended as an office Vmilding, but a portion of it will be devoted 
 to other purposes. A bank will occui)V i)art of the main floor, while near it will be 
 another large monetary institution, and a publishing house will occupy rooms (m 
 three floors. In the fourth and fifth stories of the western section will be magnifi- 
 cent Court Rooms iind necessary adjuncts for Forestric and other society meetings. 
 A magnificent assembly room will be immediately above these, occupying the sixth 
 and seventh stories. The eighth story will be wholly occupied by the .Su])reme 
 Court offices and staff. The ninth and tenth stories will be handsomely fitted up 
 for the use of the Ma.sonic fraternity, by which they will be occupied. 
 
 The Temi>le has been erected under the professional sujiervision of Mr. (Jeorge 
 W. (louinlock, who has certainly succeeded in i)roducing an excellently planned 
 and ornate building, and so well proportioned that few would realize when looking 
 at it that it is the Jiighest building yet erected in Canada. As a matter of fact, it 
 is 140 feet high, exclusive of the tower, which iulds 45 feet, making a total height of 
 185 feet from sidewalk to tlu^ top of the tower. From the roof of this eminence an 
 extensive view may be enjoyeti of the city and surroimding country, and even 
 Niagara Falls may be seen. 'I'he observatiijii tower will be open to the public. 
 
 The Vmilding is most conveniently located, iM'ing only half a block from the new 
 City Hall, less than 2()0 feet from the City Registry Office, a block distant from 
 Osgoode Hall, and the same distance from several lines of electric cars.
