When tlie adherents of Methodism, were numerous, it was noticeable tint a line of 'Cleavage ran jhrough Uu\ community because of h;- footnote in the Methodist rules of faith and conduct, which named some recreations as questionable amusements. "Methodists, if they professed faith at all, could not dunce, or play game of cards or go to theatres. In the amusement of the community they were a section iiving apart .having ho influence on the other members of T.h.e community which their strong re'igi.ous practices and belief and conduct might have leavened for better things. The footnote added to .the genera! rules in 1888 and printed in the Discipline was the stumbling block for many. It spec ifiod the acts that made for damnation in the Methodist view. Neglect of duty, imprudent conduct wilful tomper, the use of intoxi- .can'ts, dancing, playing, games of, -'lnnce, going to theatres and circuses,- or going to dancing school The Methodist who thought for himself, who-,had the sense of a modern citizen, .had 'to deny the, elders unless he shut himself off from harmless amusements. The, thing did not make -for ��������� robust Christianity. ; ' 'Thai'Methodist conference of 1910 has proved itself greater'than that of"l888 and the footnote onV'ques't- tionabLe " amusements" has been ' eliminated. '-Remarking on the obnoxious rule and the significance of its abolition, the Toronto News I says; " -; ' The note was mediaeval in tone and in spirit ��������� It was monastic in its atmosphere. It predicated the existance in .a free Protestant church o( a man.or a-, body of men who .presumed to act as official consck-nce for, every member. In some cases the prohibitions were made,without knowledge, other iiian that based.upon rumor, and in le.very respect it smacked of the arrogance of virulent- ecclesias ticism. So foreign was it to-the genius of Methodist freedom that progressive and Logical men in the church fought constantly to have removed, not1 that they might rush- to intemperance in amusement without danger of a church trial but that individual consciences might be unhampered by clerical prohibitions. The general conference how in session has been brought to see the incroguity of fetters and freedom. The footnote has been abol ished. In its place the members are advised to guard with great care their refutation and not to engage in amusements that might prove injurious to their spiritual life or incompatible with their church connections. The burden of choice is upon the member. He is not to be weakened by listening with superstitious awe for a declaration ex-cathedra He is not to have his path ithro life hedged with the iron spikes of prohibition, but he is free to tiavel the way that his own honest conscience marks for.him, remembering .his responsibilty to jutitify -ids 'acts to the incorruptible tribunal of right and wrong that ,-iolds court within his soul. The Canadian Methodist church mellows with age and in consideration of its noble experience and its .tiro men dons opportunities for good. ' SHOOTING NOTICES can be secured at this office.

BE WISE FARMERS Bring your stock and chickens to ihe market, tell the man who visits your door that he can enter into competition with others there. As you will sure obtain their market value, the dealers value is the most he can make out of it for himself. You do the work and.he takes the profits. ��������� I established your Abbotsfcrd Market. I asked ��������� you to bring stock, chickens, etc. I advertised for you but my requests were always met with tlie reply BUYTHEM YOURSELF Now take this to heart and digest it well, because I know the farmers will not like to hear it, but never the less its true. fl tTttmmmt* ^���������aa.JMMmr.-OTri.|nrf. y ^imti.^w^^Hjj , A Record cf My Purchases ^nd Resa.'es at the Yards And don't, forget it was not moie than 24 hours after I made the purchase either: Bought 13 steers for $300, sold them-for-$418, profit'$1 18; bought 5 pigs for $12 ,eacn, sold them for 98, profit $38', bought 2 sows and a boar for $90,. sold them for 120, profit 30; bought .line of 22 .head of cattle for 25 each;'sold them at, prices averaging 38, profit 286; bought 1 team'of horses for" 450, sold them for 735, profit 285, and sundry other things, ��������� Now look at my commission it would have been $1 1 0.35 and look at my profit $733. Now the wise farmers who thought they were, gcttiug good prices from the fool of an -auctioneer just lost $646.45 by their want of knowledge of RULING MARKET RATES But still they say the farmer will never get out of his lax and slovenly ways, But he will find he will have to, if he desires to keep pace with the modern ways of the world. Be Advised frcm Headquarters Sell at the places where there must be competition. Be satisfied when you are getting a good price: And -if you are not satisfied to sell at the Marlct t Yards now, then I am still prepared to trade, deal or buy from you, and will probably give you better value than you can get from any- one else, but mind this I am not out for the good of my health, - but only for one purpose, and that is " .
