Linn other towns we have been stung with the
Spelling Bee. This probably is due to • letter from a
valued contributor which appeared a short time ago
in these columns. We have only one suggestion to
make, and that is that competitors who can Cu
their spelling of words by reference to a recognised
authority, should not be dis-barred because the
Dictionary used on the occasion should happen to give
it different. A friend suggests a novel, and we think
a far more useful variety of the Spelling Bee—Let
the Chairman spell the words and the candidates
pronounce them.
Ova TRZEL—Our readers will remember that at the last
meeting of the Town Council, • proposition was made for
felling the beautiful trees on the south aide of the road
leading to the Great Western Railway Station, in order
that the land might be let for building purposes. But
Dorchester ratepayers and inhabitants as • rule pride
themselves on their beautiful avenues, and they do not
:mar to intend to allow the Council or any majority of
to rob them of that which has for so many
been the great attraction to the town and
admiration of visitors. Probably there will be such
pressure brought to bear on our Local Parliament
as will deter them from carrying out their intentions'
With this object in view, • petition has been going the
round of the town during the past week, and has received
• large number of signatures, and it is gratifying to find
that the inhabitants have so heartily taken up the matter.
We hope that the petition will have the desired effect,
and that the trees which were handed down to us by our
forefathers will be preserved by the present generation.
The following is the petition :
To the Mayor, Aldermen, and Barones of the Borough of
Dorchester.
The humble memorial of the undersigned Inhabitants, Rate-
of the Borough and Others, ebeweth,-
- • That the avenues of tress in and about the borough of 1
Dorchester have for a long aeries of years been the chief orna-
ments of the town, the Nide of the inhabitants, and the
admiration of visitors
"Tem your memorialists have seen in the public prints with
alarm mid dismay the !ointment of your intention to cut down
and destroy the beautiful trees now standing on the side of the
road leading from the end of South-street towards the Great
Western Railway Station, and to let on building leases the land
on which they stand with a view to recoup the eXpellat of pur-
chasing such land.
"That your naentorialists respectfully wit tch. your reconsider-
ation of the matter, and state that they willingly forego any
suppositious benefit derivable from leasing the spot In question
for building purpemes, and earnestly beg that you will not
allow the trees to be destniyed, mid thus save the town from
being despoiled of one of its principal attractions."
RZUCHOWS Taal' SOCIITT.—A meeting in behalf of
this society was held on Tuesday evening at the Town
Hall. The attendance, was not very large. The chair
was taken by Mr. 0. I:urine. and on the clatform were
the Rev. N. Cathcart, D.D. (the deputation Rev. K W.
Pears, Rev. E. Ludlow, Rev. .1. Harrington (Baptist), Rev.
W. C. Osborn, and Rev. H. P. Raikes The meeting was
opened with prayer by the Rev. W. C. Osborn, rafter
which the Rev. H. P. Rallies read the report of the Dor.
cheater auxiliary. It said that during ISia the first year
the depot has been in the hands of Mr. Ilenn• Ling, he
has paid to the parent society very nearly Clin, which
represents in value tho large amount of .CI2ZI within 12
months, for publications of the Religious Tract Society,
the greater part of which has been circulated in interest-
ing and instructive reading books in the numeiliste
neighbourhood of our county town. On account of the
sale of old stock, the committee of the Dorchester
auxiliary were enabled to send to the parent society for
the past year the min of £4B 3a, in free contributions,
leaving • balance at the commencement of the year of
£3 4s. 3d. in the hands of the treasurer. The con 111 l ittee
are happy to report that them have been 60 subscribers to

Of receiving half the aniount of their subscriptions in
tracts, advantages which need no comment. The secre-
taries beg to invite the clergy of the neighbouring pariahes
to follow ths good example of the Rector of West
Stafford, and not only to form associations in connection
with the Dorchester auxiliary, hut also to have ...moons
in order to advocate the clalme of the Religious Tract
Society. In conclusion they desire to say that it
will afford them great pleasure to receive the muses of
new subscribers, and earnestly hope that at the clam of
the meeting some will come forward for that purpose.—
The Rev. R. W. Pears moved the re-appointment of the
committee of last year, substituting for the Rev. J.
Duffill and Rev. J. E. Brett, who had left the town, the
names of the Rev. W. Allen and the Rev. I. Harrington.
IC doing so he spoke of the importance of the work
carried on by this society— endeavouring to counteract the
evil influences of the ungodly literature which was dr.
culated through our land. He urged them to do God's
work in a prayful spirit, flaking His blaming on it. They
must not be diacouraged as to the smallness of their
numbers. They had always been • little flock, and he
supposed they always would be; but they must not fear
because of that. He moved the appointment of the com-
mittee and the adoption of the report This was iteconded
by the Rev. E. Ludlow, and carried—The Rev. N.
Cathcart then addressed the meeting in an able and in-
teresting speech. He was pleased with the report which
had just been read, as it was a much better one than that
read when he was here three years ago. Reference had
been made of the ungodly literature which was being
circulated in our Land; and he mentioned the case of •
young man in Liverpool who embezzled money, fled the
country, was followed to Paris, where one morning the
detective found him outside an hotel, mounted and
spurred, dressed in highwayman's apparel, and ready
to start on an expedition. Its tapped him on
the shoulder, told him that he wanted to speak
to him, and taking him inside charged him with the
off which he admitted, and was searched, on him
vered a couple of well mounted piatols, a copy
obftiek Turpin" and ' Jack Shepherd." and other such
literature, with only a few coins of French money.
That young man was brought back to England, ant was
now undergoing his sentence of punishment But this
society was uoing much to counteract the evil influences
of thn literature. And the speaker told of 16 infidels
who had been converted through the reading of one of
the society's tracts, "Saved," The speaker then re-
ferred to the labours of Mr. James Francis in behalf of
this society. During 45 years that gentleman wrote 649
publications, and these had been translated into about 30
different languages, and had had a circulation of about
81.000,000—50 that they could see how much had been
done by one man. Although that gentleman was re-
moved from them by death he had left something behind
him which would tell of Christ's love for many yews.
The Deputation then spoke of the efforts which were
being made all over the country by the various denomina-
tions—in fact, the whole Church of Christ had been
holding mission serviosa. This society had Published •
tract entitled "Expect" They ought to expect God's
blessing when they prayed for it. David had said "I will
my unto the Lord and will look up." Another tract was
"Draw them in'—an invitation to sinners to come to
Jesus. And then they had another publication, "Wel-
come." There was another called "Bring them in"—•
call to Christians to go out and bring in sinners to hear
the impel news. It was too much the practice among the
ChrWtians of the present day to conic to the front mate at
relieous meetings, whilst their poorer neighbours had to
At behind. But this should not be, they should
take them by the hand and lead them forward,
and thus they would be doing much good. Another
publication was "Only Trust Him"—not ourselves, bat
His who died on Calvary for our sins, rove again for our
justification, and who had ascended into Heaven, and now
=led for us. During the past year the society had
470 new publications, amongst them being "Entire
Consecration," which he commended to their careful
reading, as it would teach them to consecrate all they had
to Coil. Also " Christian Perfection," a 'imam publication
to the lasts and another "Shall I go to Confession," which
were in opposition to the doctrine of Auricular Confession
and Transubstantiation, and another on the wont "is,"—
this (+my body. The speaker then dwelt on the revival meet-
ings which had been held, and the work of the inquiry
rooms. He did not deprecate these rooms, as he had seen
much work thee,; but it was not enough to ask sinners
If the tiered in Christ as a Saviour, there mast he repent-
anoelV
or their ains. It was not faith only that would save.
St. Peter on the day of Pentecost preached repentance,
and they were elsewhere told by St. Paul to " repent and
be converted.' "Full Salvation " was another work the
society was anxious should have • good circulation. 167
new tract, were issued last year, and they were thankful
that after 76 years they were able to do so much. The
deputation then spoke of the engravings for cottares and
schools, which were being issued by the society, and
remarked on the amount of good which these things were
doing, as pictures mold be "read " by all, and were often
of iuuch assistance to those who were uneducated.
Illuminated card, and book.marks were also being homed
fnint the society's office,, arid in this way the Phan of
salvation was being taught the childrea. Their pictorial
series were also a great success, and the books on Swiss,
SMinifsh. end Italian scene*, and also of the" Holy Fields,"
&DO 'The Land of the Iliarsolis," were beautiful works,
beautiful in everything, and above all as they told of the
beautiful Jesu., who once travelled those "lily Fields,"
so that in this way the society was providing literature of
a good order for those in higher life. He St: deputation)
e
utationt
then spoke of the good those living in the higher k f
life were enabled to do. Ile mentioned Lo Sloss „
a good kind old gentleman, who was do • noble wart 1

(most= had been given to Christian work, and the society
haa recently sent £l.OOO worth of its works for distribution
there. filseekblef the religious discussions which ere
now so prevalent, theilautation said he did not believe
they were doing any their one great sir should
be to „wood the simple truths of the gospel, and
to tell of the love of the dear Saviour they bad
found, endeavouring to lead others to Him, and then
we should all he "Safe in the arms of Jesus" and He
had promised that no one should be able to pluck us
out of His hands, The Sys:aft at Hones was another
at their publications which had been much circulated,
and although sans had said it was not tinily read-
s g, it was profits*,
_sad there was a corner given In it
0 r Invalid/ and dr=. The Leinws Hour was not

looked upon by some prime as • religious publication,
but it was intended, if he might use the expression, for
our hard-beaded and hard-hearted artisans, that by read-
ing it they might be led to study others, and be the means
of leading them to the House of God, and to Christ Jesus.
Other publications were referred to and the work they
were accomplishing shown. The society was doing all
they could for Italy and for Rome, and they were anxious '
to keep up the work in Spain. At Madrid and Barcelona
the society W 11.4 particularly active. In Germany, India,
China., die., a glorious cause was being carried on, and they
must persevere in it. When in Liverpool recently be
saw two ladies who were going out as missionaries to
China, and he asked why should not our sisters go out as
such? lie then showed the progress id the work of the
society during the last quarter of a century, and remarked
that last veer it circulated 57,000,U0U publication' at a cost
of .CIP.OOO, and after paying expenses handed over
.C. 5.0.57 for religious work. No ship need sail without a
