The Baptists have a large and well conducted school, which I also addressed. I preached on the subject in both churches to large congregations. At Inverhuron, the school waa re-organized and over 914 raised heartily to furnish the library and requisites. TWo men passpg out of my meeting there thanked me for my "excellent sermon." Intenaper- ance is sdockingly prevalent in that region.

My second service consisted of a sermon, and then an address on the duty of parents, the place was crowded, over S25 were raised to furnish the school. My next meeting was at Centre Bruce.
