PHARISEES IN THE NINETEENTH
CENTURY.
To du Editor.

In your last tense my attention wee drawn to •
letter from a correspondent who signed himself " A
Lutheran," and his letter must have been written in a
very much annoyed mood, for he cannot Seem to
forget the absence of the " Minster clergy " at •
meeting at St. John's School-rooms, Wimborne, where
he (your correspondent) wee present to commemorate
the birth of Martin Luther. One of the " religions
hobbles" of late is to hold up some great example,
, which now falls to Martin Luther, and if one does
' not fall in with all the cant of the crowd surronnding
us, we are immediately pounced upon, and j t&ed
accordingly. SO your correspondent, following the
fashion now.a-daye, instantly condemns our " Mineter
clergy" for not, as be says, being Christian-like. Is it
very Christian-like to be so narrow-minded and
uncharitable towards th oe whom opinions may differ
from our own, and no very personally .Irawing
thu
attention of others towards those we c mdemn? Many
are the sects of religion now flourishing in our country,
and I believe we are as Englishmen all allowed to
think freely for one's own benefit. Surely we may
extend that same freedom of thought to our own
Minster clergy. The greatest example, that of the
lowly Jean; Is quite forgotten by professing
Christians; also the example of the Publican. We are
all too much inclined to follow in the steps of the
objectionable Pharisee. There are many such. I fear,
In our times. Pew have the charity which Covers a
multitude of sine, and the meekness which acoompanies
true religion. "Avoid those who cause disputes," a
piece of good advice which your oorrespondeut would
do well to follow. There are those who prefer having
their faith between themselves and God alone, and
whom examples are such as t, defy the faultinder
and loud Christian. It would be sad indeed if only
the followers of Martin Luther were those found
worthy of gaining heaven. Alm, Pharisee, look to
thyself, and judge not so harshly, for there are many
called and few chosen at the last —Yours faithfully,

111WILIFACIL

Thu weekly meeting- in the British Schoolroom on
Monday wee addressed by the her. 0 L. &teasel!, of
Church Know's the room was well filled with a most
respectable audience, and the juveniles at the same
time were enjoying the Ursine of the Seepage band,
which was playing in another part of the town. Most
perfect order was kept throughout, and an exoellent
address wee attentively listened to. Mr. Lou
occupied the chair.
B.R.G.T.U. —Another of these grand meetings
took place on Monday evening in the British School-
room, Mr. J. Lose bang in the chair. After a few
remarks from the Chairman, oomplimeuting them on
again filling the room, he then congratulated them
upon having the pleasure in once more hearing their
ever valued friend, the Ray. Owen I. Mussel,
Rector of Church Kneels!, give an address. He would
not occupy their time, for he was convinced they were
all antionely welting to hew the speaker. After another
melody, he then called upon the Rev. 0. L. Mansell
to address the meeting, who roes, and in his remarks
said he wee afraid they would be getting tired of
hearing him. (No, no.) At any rate be wee not
tired of coming to them—(applause)--for he felt a
pleasure in addressing such an attentive audience.
Ms could recognise several amongst them whom he
had seen on former occasions, and he WM glad to meet
them again. He came to tell them the same old
story; he was never tired of speaking !hoot it; many
could testify to the value of it, and those who were
not abstainers he trusted they would become so. II
they were only moderate drinkers he hoped they
would for the sake of others. They must not mind
being speared at if they oessaidered that the
thing they were doing was right. He appealed
to mothers to show the example to their children, and
to young men and women not to be led into the
customs so prevalent at this time, for the same men
you meet in summer taking a glass because be I. hot,
Zsyou will find, in the winter take one become he
d; another haaajob to do at night and he must bake
one to keep him awake, and when he bee finished he
takes another m a nightcap to pat him to sleep, en that
you may in reality find an opportunity at any time
you like, if you only just want the glass. After
some very humorous anecdotes, and a hearty vote of
thanks accorded him for coming, the evening wee
brought to a does by several joining the union.

TREES PLANTED.
To tAe Editor.

Bir,—The above word.. which headed a note from
"A Visitor to Upwse." may, perhaps—let us hope
soon—becnne a prophecy fulfilled.
Fortunat.ily, there have been no objecitions against
the suggestion which was mode. On the contrary.
much has been written in fas..ur of 'Tree. planted"—
as to their shade cud beauty ani healthful eff via on
the eyes—and reference he. beeu male to the "sunny
onemiries" of the benefits from tree. planted in France
sad Austria.

nes little was said about the water eupply at
Upwry. But it ia, perhaps, enough berm to remark
that trees help to gather water and to shed It. A. to
the ill-regulated energise of street lad., well, as all
men were once boys, there is no need of apologies for
the forerunners of wisdom. A like idea used to be
urged against the admission of children and uncultured
persona to museums and galleries of art; yet the open-
ing of their do us has dispelled the illusion. Let the
ash and the elm and the walnut be planted, then will
boys and men admire and respect them.
It has been thought that you could hardly expect
lords and 'squires to give t•ees. Yet that should form
a good reason why they should be invited to use the
opportunity. It is true that Frith C Alege at Sheffield,
and the Mason College at Birmingham and the
Crossley Park and almshouve at KWh's ,were the gifts.
not of men who were born into money and estates, but
of tho.e to whom God gave honesty and strength to
make both. But why should not a cha,ce be given to
the noble and great? It might to them be the opening
of the Kingdom of Heaven.
It is said—" All that is wanted lea leader In them
things; we are all reedy to help." No doubt; num
are gregarious. Why should not the Viscount Wey-
mouth be the leader —Yours respectfully,

THE APPROACHING FIFTH.

A pntal• naeothqr was held at the Guildhall on
Wednesday seeming to consider what steps .hoolil be
taken for carrying out a demonstration on the sth of

T. it, Groves occupied the chile and was sup,,orted
by Mr. Caleb Hal (the eneevetic hon, secretary), and
Messrs. Fsirey, Baxter, Berridge,
Mr. George, in opening the meeting, sad they were
met there that eveang as a purely business meeting.
They would remember that their attention had been
called to a proposed demonstration at • meeting held
about this time last year, and decide whether or not
they should carry out • demonstration on the sth of
November. The meeting was held at the Working
Men's Club, and was as well attended as the present
meeting. They then decided to carry out • demon era-
tioo, which they would remember was a great sac-
owe, nothwithstandbet the state of the watthe,,
and be was very pleased to notice what •go prooes.
sion the young men of Weymouth formed. He
sincerely hoped that they would have better weather
this year; it oertaini, Was carried out last year under
most trying circumstances, and it was in all respects,
barring the weather, a great amuses. A few days ago'
the committee who had carried out last year's demos'.
citation met, and, deeming it advisable to ;may out
one this year, called this meeting. They thought it
advisable the procession should take pleas on the 11th
of November, and it was for thews present to decide
whether that was the day on which it should be held.
(This was putt, the meeting, and carried.) It Ica.
necessary that they should proceed to make their

THE MINSTER CHOIR.
To the Editor.

Sir,—Whilst perusing the Wimborne news in your
last week's issue, I was fozcibly struck by a parsgrsph
with the above title, in which it wa• said the
governors (who, I presume, are the rulers f all the
Wheat paid by the poor and rich in this wealthy pariah)
through the new scheme, have in .re freedom se to the
particular manner in which the money for ch ic pur.
poems may be used. I quest .n very much the utility
or arivisa.dlity of the propsied alteration.
It may be thought by some—Setter to pay three
men 1:50 each per annum for solo and v.rs • porpo.er
instead "f six men at L'2.5 each. Pr.shaps it
The query is—Where will you d voluntary al lig.
tees who will for any length r,f time c ,rupare lair-
ably with the services of the " paid sit " in tne years
that are past.
If the choir has been in an unsatisfactory state f
some time past, why tot glee the reasons, if vari ors
reasons are assigned.ao that all might know the secret
as well 55th. governors ?
My opinion I. that our °finalist at the Nlirster ii •
musician of no in an order, and equal to trsi ~0,1810",
provided good voioes cnild be securedl by him ; thee
there would be no need of such apparent humiliation,
as it Is now c msiderol by some t.,1 be. by aplconti94
qualified choir.tra ner, taken from the ranks 11 the
choir, who will have to at in conjuncti n with the
organist.
Time only will prove how these two can emicably
I proceed together ; for my own part, so for as I am
, concerned, I hope they may wr rk well together, for it
' is a well-known fact, the organist is a first clam
instrumentalist, and the (to be) oboir-traioor, a
vocalist of groat value to any body of choristers.

HARVEST THANKSGIVING.

To Oar Editor.
The season hes again come round that, like the
Hospital Saturdays of bon lon, when at a few of the
city corners an I crossing.. ertoin distiuguished ladies
sit at stalls holding collecting boxes for funds for the
London ho.mitals, so in the West of England, for
the purpose of support to local hospitals, eye
infirmariee, or forauch like worthy iostitutiona, sped i .1
sermons are preached sod appeals made, with m
re
or lima response thereto—but it is to be feared a
long way behind the requiremsats of thews cases,
and ale a sadly poor proportion to the fait
acknowledgment of the most bountiful harvest
of corn and vegetables a kind Providers°e has so
graciously bestowed. If the reports current in the
newspapers of these collections be • fair sample of
unreported caws as well as the reported ones, the
smallest of the amounts would appear • very Insult
to God, and not worthy of the name of " Harvest
Thanksgiving" or • "Sacrifice" of praise If Dr.
Gather were alive how would he in his
ivivocacy of
giving away " • With of all," like Jacob and
Abraham the Patriarchs did (Gies. xxviiL, 4,
and Heb. vii., 2), have criticised this miserable
acknowledgment of God's bounties? Why, • sixpence
a head in most cia,es, acoording to population or
church attendants, would come to more than is so realised. Let those "whom it may eonosea" (deer
their comedowns of boapital needs and stabile as
they read over Malachi hi., 12. and John hi, of an
