TILA MIETIIIO.—On Good Friday Ise Wesleyans
of this town embraced the opportunity' of providing
• public tea in the Coro Exchange, soh of esprit&
the serviom of the Rev. Peter fillanhenzie, of
Chippertham, in order to liquidate • debt eif £25 on
their chapel, which some time ego was messaged and
improved. There was a large gathering of People
around the tea tables, both from the trying spa
country, about 300 partaking of the cheering L'uffd
the usual aocompuitnenta. The hall was very pr Oa*
decorated for the «session with evergreens, flow ars,
and mottos of various inscriptions and design's,
The Rev. Peter Mackenzie preached two eloquent'
sermons—one in the afternoon and the other in the
evening—at the latter the chapel being crowded to
excess, in fact many persons were unable to obtain
admission. Collections were made at the close of
each service, and these, together with the profits
arising from the public tea, Were more than
sufficient to pay off the debt upon the chapel. The
tea was generously provided at the expense of some
of the most influential members of the Wealeyan
denomination in this town.

THE RIM. RDWAILD Winn PICAS& —We are indebted
to • Berkshire oontemporary for the following gratifying
paragraph, showing the esteem and regard in which the
Rev. R. W. Pears, who has been appointed to the living
of St. Peter's Church, is held by his parishioners at
Reading:—" Testimonial to the Rev. Edward Ward
Pears. —The members of Trinity Church have subscribed
the soul of £l5O as a testimonial of their esteem and
regard for the Rev. E. W. Pears, who has ministered
In that church for the last eight montha, and is now
shout to relinquish that charge, widish, together with •
silver salver, was presented to the rev, gentleman
on the 18th instant. Our contemporary ad‘, it gives
us much pleasure to learn that the Lord Chancellor bee
presented the rev, gentleman with the liviag of St.
Peter's, Donshester. The living is stated in the Clergy
List to be worth £lOl •-year, but the anicsiat Meted
may fairly be presumed to be considerehly below the
actual value." From the same source we also gather
that the Rev. E. W. Pears delivered a lecture at the
Townhall, Reading, on "Daniel Defoe." one of a series
in °pollution with the Young Men's Christian
Aisocia-
tiou. The chair was taken by 11. H. Lutton. F•q., the
President of the associetton, who,in introducing,the rev.
geotiernan, remarked that although he had only been
amongst them • few months, be had endeared himeelf,
not only to his own congregation, but to all who loved
the truth, and who desired to propagate it in this town
and diocese. He had gained their hearty esteem by the
active part be bad taken in co-operating with all so
engaged. As chairman of the Young Men's Christian
Amociation, he rejoined that that Society was instru-
mental in bringing Mr. Pears before themes a lecturer.
—Dr. Cowan, in the course of proposing a vote of
think, to Mr. Prars for his able and instructive lecture,
said he could only regret that the gentleman who gave
it we. not going to continue among them. During his
(the speaker's) residence in the town it had not been his
good fortune to meet with • 'angle instance in which
any individual had endeared himself in so rapid •
manner to his people, and had gained their attention
and affection to so large an extent as Mr. Pears had
done. It spoke well for them. It showed that there
was something in their hearts responding to the good
and the true, end he hoped the tune would not =me
when that feeling which had been so quickly elicited
would receive confirmation under circumstances which
none of them at present might foresee. Whatever Mr.
P ars might fees as to the shortness of his reddens'
here be must feel this—that hotbed met with warm
hearts end with cordial recognition, and if God in his
Providence should again bring him amongst them at
some future time, he would be confident that he would
meet with the same feeling of affection.—The Rev.
G. I. Tebbe, in seeendiug the resolution, said might he
not be the mouthpiece of this audi nee to express the
deep and heartfelt sympathy alike for the lecturer and
his att iched and devoted but sorrowing people in the
prospect of that painful separation which in Gods
mysterious Providence had bun forced upon
them. Let them remember that He who walketh
among the golden candlesticks had said "What
I do thou knowest now now, but those shalt know
hereafter" He was sure it was the one fervid
prayer of every heart there to night that their
loving Lord would vouchsafe to comfort the
devoted, attedthed, sad sorrowing people in this painful
separation, and that He, in the wonderful werkinp of
his Providence, might cutlass in their midst the
precioes Gospel, and that He 'sight perensinently visit
their brother in that sphere to winch he had bees
assigned, and that he might long be there • burning
and • shining light, and that in the world to come
be might still resplendently shine for ever and ever.
Sore be (the 'orator) was that the response of every
Christian in this anthenal was "Amen and Amen."
