Hall under the of the Prinee Rupert Liberal As- auspices Anderson, the association’s ener- getic and indefatigitable secre- tary The president, in his opening remarks, dwelt on the work ac- complished by the executive since the annual general meeting, held a short while ago, It had been decided to hold regular monthly meetings under the auspices of the association at which ad- dresses by leading members of the party would be delivered on live political topies of the hour Mr. H. F. MeRae, the chairman of the committee which had the arranging of these meetings, had not been able to give very long who were put notice to the speakers to address them that evening, upon future occasions gentlemet would be given ample opportun- ity to prepare speeches to be de- livered at these monthly meet- ings Dwelling on the necessity and urgency of continually in- fusing new blood into their ranks, the speaker went on to show how the policy advocated and followed by their great leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, had been vindicated and justified in the light of recent events. Whilst giving a measure of eredit to the provincial gov- ernment for having decided discard the old voters’ list, whica to WILL COME AGAIN AS GREAT HARVESTER Interesting Sermon Last Night by Rev. F. W. Kerr on the Second Coming of Christ. During the reading of the Biblical lesson at the Empress Theatre last night Rey y. WW, Kerr announced that his subject for the evening would be “The second Coming of Christ. He had not announced his subject through the press as usual for the reason that he had considered talking upon another subject, but gentler and better counsels had prevailed and he had decided not to speak upon the matter. rhe second coming of Christ, he said, had eome to be looked upon as an unelaimed promise, but it was an absolute certainty that Christ would come again be- fore the final consummation of things Jesus came to. this world as the great sower and he would again come as the great harvester, His coming is just as certain as that harvest follows the chaotie winter, the budding spring and the glowing summer. It would be better, the reverend gentieman said, if people took a keener interest in the time of His coming. The Jewish race had an optimism regarding the long de- laved coming of the Messiah that yesterday afternoon became storm bound just across the har bor and feared that they would have to camp out for the night Rain starting to come down pretty heavily and the wind blowing at 90 miles an hour, there did not seem to be much choice in the matter. However a friendly motor boat hove in sight and noticing their dilemma came to the reseue in the nick of time.

In view of this fact was incumbent upon lthem to act promptly in getting | their own names as well as those|also impressed upon his hearers of their friends on the list before|the importance of realizing that j that date. Reminding his hearers jor the big Liberal convention that | was to take place in May, jthe possibility of another general and of election within the next few months, the speaker concluded by expressions of the highest praise for the wonderfully — effi- cient and capable central organ- ization the Liberal Association had in the provines They had great issues to deal with, some- thing to fight for, in fact, and he had every hope that before very long their party would be swept into power again on the wings of victory Several motions and recom- mendations were made and passed om the most important of which was that made Mr. Howard B. Campbell, that a telegram be sent immediately te Sir Wilfrid Laurier expressing the’ Prince Rupert Liberal Association’s sym- pathy and support, @s well as high admiration, for the magnifi- cent fight he and his followers were putting up in opposition to the Borden naval! bill. This mo- tion, which was seconded by Mr. McPherson, was passed with ex- pressions of the highest approval by all present. Mr. Fred Stork, one of the old warhorses of Liberalism in Brit- ish Columbia, next addressed the DY gathering in one of his well known breezy and = inspiring speeches, Never before in the history of the Dominion was as- sociation with liberalism as im. portant as at the present time. The high cost of living was the curse of present day existence and the policy of the Tory party msible for this was largely resj: state of things That policy was one of interests, tariff and pro- tection for the classes, and not for the masses It was absurd to say thal reciprocity was de- feated at the last general elec- tion. The whole idea had been to draw a herring over the trail and obscure the view of the elector- ate, with the purpose of defeat. ing and crushing Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Coming to the question upper- most in their minds at that mo- ment, the debate on the Borden naval bill, the speaker became enthusiastic the splendid fight being put up by their party over in the House of Commons He himself had been inspired per foree to send a telegram of con gratulation on his own account on learning that the debate had lasted over 80 hours, It read as follows: “To Fred Pardee, House of Commons, Ottawa—Pul on your cork boots, Fred, and stay with it,” In conclusion the speaker re- marked that all that lost then the last election was over conf dence They thought their cause was too good to make defeat a possibility They did not work, resting rather in a fools’ para j dise of false security, They must ever be up and alert in the future land vietory at the polls at the next general election was assured them | OF W. T. Kergin, who has been | absent from the city for some months, was received with great | applause by the large gathering of Liberals. In a few graceful words he thanked them for their cordial reception and congratu- lated them upon the obviously condition of the sociation. He expressed his con- fident and unswerving faith in the course being pursued by their flourishing as- m the Borden naval policy and reciprocity was by no means a dead issue and that the party might yet go into power again on a vole being taken on this great question, Upon sober and ma- ture consideration of the Borden naval policy it must unquestion- ably be acknowledged to be found- ed on wrong principles and of the nature of a makeshift and emer- gency undertaking. The fact that Canada gave money to the Old Country to build ships and would therefore possess the same was a fallacy The speaker was not in sympathy with the modern war eraze but one must perforee realize that the Do m today Was a nati standing amongst others and in the front rank and must be prepared to defend its position by strength of arms if necessary. At the conelusion of Dr Ker- gin’s extremely interesting speech a number of suggestions and re- marks were made by different members of the associut rhe meeting broke up at 10:15, every- one being thoroughly satisfied that they had spent a most en- tertaining and profitable’ even- ing.
