comprehending that love which eassojzz, among

we should follow out these fanny love and good-
will which would stand the test in the day of
judgment. We causes be holy in heart without
being loving in spirit. We cannot inherit heaven
without holiness, and holiness could not be attained
without true christien love to all It was much to
I be feared that very many in the present day were
'destitute of this love, and the words of the tent
proved that St. Paul considered and taught that
without kindness, forbearance, and love we
were committing an actual an. Jesus Christ
would never present us as üblameable
before the throne of His Father, without
we strive against and conquer all feelings of
envy, malice, and In every neighbour-
hood there must and would be found differmoes of
opinion, and the very opposition we found to our
ideas was sent at to try oar spirits Whether they
were being conformed to God's will or not. What
can we have learnt of real charity if we have not
patience with a brother's faults. Wawa must
needs come, but we should seek to curb in ourselves
thees feelings which would do a nrighb.ew an injury.
It we heard anything against him, we Mould spread
it abroad, but consider how we should wish others
set towards us if we ourselves bad been in Malt. Of
one thing we might he sure, that if we did our weigh-
boar all the good in our power he would not be
disposed to do as any injury, and if we were injured
by Dim we should take Christ for oar sample, who
when be was reviled, reviled not again. The rev.
gladsome particularly urged upon all present to
maintain good order, to be sober, to use good
language, and so to conduct themselves as to give DO
occasion for may word of reproach, so that the
excellent society of which they were members might I
receive no injury. He earnestly hoped that the
arembers of the Loyal Benevolent Lodge might be
• pattern to all around them, and by their unity,
love, and goodwill show that they were indeed par.
takers of that hairier of heart, that parity of spirit,
by which alone they would prove themselves meet
for the eternal rest of heaven. The rev, gentleman
was listened to with marked attention, ad, by
remarks afterwards made by the congregation, we
have no doubt his exoellent and suitable advice will
Mod to do much good..
As soon as the memo was over the procession re-
formed, marched beck to tbe field, and Won after
paraded the town, the three Mods as before, en-
livening the proceedings by discoursing some ex.
Bakal marching toms. Onariving &canaille field
the procesion formed a circle, when three hearty
cheers were given for the Queen, after whisk the
members sat down to dinner. Provishe was made for
upwards of 400 gusset, and more than 300 partook
of the good cheer provided by the worthy Meta the
George Inn.
' In the unavoidable absence of Willett Adye,
Em., who was announced to take the chair, that lei-
, portant post was sued by C. R. Rowe, Req.,
supported by the Rm. H. Good, W. Droitt,
F. 8. Blount, Req., and other gentlemen. The
I dinner, as we have esid,was most excellent, the only
defect observed being the want of waiters, which
neomitated • large number oft),, company to do the
honours to the first toasts in a true teetotal fashion.

piromeing the "Health of the
Queen," remarked that ming • body of Oddfellows,
who ware proverbial for loyalty and attachment to
tin throne, very little was nocemery from him to
Mann them heartily to receive the toast. He was
sere all dewed the Qom& long as and Myriam.
(Loud cliesrs.)
The "Health, of ths Prime and Prime. of
Wake" WM then given 2 the CSAIRMLIE, who re-
marked on the very en asiestic moaner in which
the Prince and Pruirsee bad bean received when-
ever they went, whir* was as greet a proof of the affes-
non the people bore to hie sagest mother, as it was
of their sincere desire for the happinsm of her son
and the primers.
W. Damn, Esq., no proposiag tin "Health of
the Army and Navy sad -the Volunteer.," referred
to the noble aad undulated spirit evinced by our
brave soldiers in the Crimean and balm war ; and
though the services of the navy had sot been called
epos of lote you., yet they bad mall to mention the
ammo of Nelson, and the oirramemoss attending his
death, to prove that when required the navy were
ever reedy to de their duty. Of the veleustems, as
they were an untried body, mush toad not be mid;
bathe WU fully of opinion, that whenever they
might be called upon they would be foetid an
iiset body. With the Mast he would couple the
name of Mr. Rows. (Loud cheers.)
In responding to the toast, Mr. Rowe said that
though it was VW the volunteer form was an
untried one, yet lie was fully pomaded that the
astablielment of each • foros was to be commended.
The best way to ward off an evil was to be prepared
1., it. He believed, as Mr. Drain had said, the
volunteers ribald, whenever called upon, do their
duty; but he trusted the day was far damn when
their sonic. e would be regatta. ((hem )
The CILWIDILLIN then gave the" Health' of the
Bleep and Clergy of the Dneme," coupling with
the Mast the name of his friend who had that day
be entiandeod given them a most excellent mews.
