Mu. Logo, M.ff ne CLASS Dtstt merlon& —The
harvest home celebration has jut taken place at
litotighton Giffor I, on lord Brouglaton's domains Mr.
R. P. Long, IL P., as one of the landlotds, made a
speech at the dinner, observing Dud there was no future
he looked forward to with greater anticipation that the
one where farmers were happy and prosperous, and the
gottagers contented, well cared for, and happy, all
bearing towards each other kindly regard, and cultivat-
ing that kindly relationship which is the soul of
Christianity and the soul of English prosperity. He
weld not help thinking that in these days classes were
getting too much apart; the liner of each class of society
were becoming too sharply drawn; society wan not so
closely united as it should he. These good old village
festivals were not no often as they ought to be. In days
gone by their forefathers kept tt,ese festivals up oftener
Man they were kept now-a-diys.when there was feasting
and joy, and dancing round the May-pole. But now
these things were left to the clergy, and the rich had
their pleasures with the rich, and the poor with the
poor. The owners of lend in the country, and the
occupiers of houses in town, were ton much wrapped
up in their own pursuits to care much for those who
laboured in other spheres. But these meetings drew
the various chases together, and lased them in ose
miss; taught them the important lesson that there
was no distinction before God ; that rich and poor alike
could meet in the house of God, and worship God, the
Muter of us all, with one heart and one mind, with one
feeling of joy and gratitude; looking forward together
lon a happier future, each resolving before God, to do
better for the time to come--thus ;Wing in the spread
of social harmony, which was the soul of Christianity.

SALIUMIT DIOCIMAX CHURCH BUH2dxO AROMA-
Von .—Tbe quarterly meeting of this association was
held in the Board-room, in the Close, 011 Thbreday. This
I.erd Bishop of the Diocese presided. The applications
oonaidered were from the parishes of Hinton Martell
sod West !Ashworth. both in the areltdesoonry of Dorset.
In the former ease the perish chard was represented
to be in • dilaptdsted state, and to afford insufficient
aeoonsmodation (155 sittinp) for the population, which
numbers about 367 persona It was therefore propoised
by the incumbent, the Rev. Charles Bridges, to take
down the present bunting, sod to erect in its place a
commodious and suitable edition capable of seating 289
persona Ilse total cost of the new church was estimated
at £1,530, of which £l,OOO had been raised, and as the
number of free and unappropriated sittings will be in-
eree,ed from 109 to 'sW the aconosittse decided on
making • pant of 2100: In the second ease (West
Lulwortb) it was stated by the applicant, Me Rev.
William Gildsa, that the old parish choral bad fallen
into such. state of general decay that it was deemed
advisable to pull it down' and to replace it by en n•
tirely new building more adequate to the wants of the
pariah. The existing edifies, it appeared only aff"rded
seat room for 174 out of a population of 460, and a these
sittings 119 were appropriated. It was therefore decided
in the new stimuli that there should be accommodation
provided for 272 persons, 153 of the meets being free, and
it was to cony out the proposed works that the Preeent
application for • grant ia aid was made. The coot of
the new edifies wan estimated at £l,BOO, and ec it RP-
peored there were very great difficulties in the way of
raising the requisite funds, the Incumbent aft,r mach
exertion having only succeeded in obtaining £750 of the
requited amount, the committee voted • grant el £l5O.
There was another appliaation for aid on the paper,
namely, from the Rev. Egerton Daniel, to build a chapel
of ease at Hinson Heath, in Dorsistaltire, to seat 238 out
of • population of front 500 1. 000 persons at an outlay
of £1,087, but it was withdrawn. Tie remaining

A BRAY' Ltrrtm Femme—A few days ago while
three little children were out blackberrying, one of
them, • little girl named Anne Kite, fell over the low
wall into the pool of water opposite North Bradley
Church, and in all probability would have been drowned,
but for the prewmoe of mind of a little fellow named
Fred Elliot, four years old, who seined old of her dress
and held her above water screaming with all his might,
until a lad who was pawing by rescued them both from
their perilous position.
