CHUBOH BUILDING BOOLITTIIS. —On Sunday, AMID
25th, sermons were preached in our parish church ma
behalf of the Ineorporated Society for Belding
Churches, and the Diocesan Church Building Mau
The morning preacher was the Rev. V. C. Turners
curate of Powerstock, the Rev. Mr. Tomlinson, who
had been announced to preach, being prevented frau
doing so. The rev. gentleman selected as his text St.
Matthew v. 8, "Freely ye have receive* freely give.'
In the course of his sermon he dwelt on the privllegee
the pariehioners of Bridport are in possession of, by
having one of the finest churches in the direr
beautiful services, flourishing schools, • faithful pastor,
Sm., and urged on his hearers the duty of each one to
do all in his power to extend to others those Urgings
which they themselves had so "freely received," and by
supporting these societies to follow out our blessed
Lord's injunction "freely give." The spiritual deritti•
tion which existed in some of our large towns sad sitar
was something dreadful ; though there had been a eery
large number of churches built of late years through*
out the country the increase in church accommodation
had not nearly kept par with the increase in ponds,.
tion, there were many districita in England where the
inhebitants were in a worse state than the heathen.
Thousands had never been in any plays ef worship, and
their children were growing ne unimptised and
uninstructed. The preacher instanced one diarist
In Liverpool which had come under his own especial
notice, as an example of the need there was for rah
societies as these. In the evening the prayer were
reed by the Rev. E. F. Trotmnn, of Buroombe, formerly
curate el Bridport, and the sermon WA preached by
the Rev. R. Hub:things, incumbent of Monition Wy
The subject of his discourse was the event reeorded In
St. Mark xii., 41-44, "the widow casting her mite into
the treasury." Oar Lord, he remarked, though ageing
in His mind's eye at the time the armies romping
round Jeruaalem, and the destruction of the city, and
of its beautiful temple, yet noticed the offering if the
poor widow, but He saw her not is man ices; we hire
from His own lips the manner in which God looks on
our actions. The widow's offering was smell in the
eyes of men, but in His sight it was greet indeed ; she
had cart in, in proportion to her means, more than they
all, their gift vas of their sbundanoe and they would
have plenty left, but she gave all she had, bee poverty
was very great but her love to God was far greeter.
Many people speak of giving " their mite" to soy
object, meaning • small sum, but there was no analogy
between their case and that of the widow's, as her's watt
• large sum, even ell she had. Some have an idea that
almegiving is very proper for those who are rich and
well-to-do but not for the poor ; this was • =intake, the
poorest person in the church could give as mach,
In the eyes of God, as the riebeet ; • umn's
religion was not worth much if he would not make •
, little self-sacrifice. The ease of the widow also shows
that alms for the Rouse of God are acceptable in His
sight. When Mary anointed her Divine Muter with
precious ointment, some had indignation and spoke of
It as a toasts, bat He commended her; and when we
give our offerings to make beautiful ttemZide of the
Lord, they are not wasted, hut are by God.
Sixty or seventy years ago, when so aMen was paid
to grace or rymmetry in our chamber very few were
built; but within the last forty years, trines • different
custom has happily prevailed, more oftereboo loop booa
built in one dirge* also. than in the idiot* of loOiad
for two hundred years before. We leer trees to he
thankful for this state if things, but very mooli yob
remains to be done. In conclusion, the Mr. reatiloset
alluded to the work the two societies, for whisk be was
to plead, were doing, the need they were In of hammed
liberality, and reminded his hearers that as they as.
shied us in the restoration of our own beautiful church
they had an especial claim aeon us.—The golleetions st
both services amounted to Al IL I.
