"Sermons in stones,
Lemons in trees,
And God in all."

The rev. chairman, in proposing the thanks of the
meeting to the lecturer for his able address, made
some practical observations on the mercy and kind-
ness of the Creator, whom love was shown in the
giving his Son to die for man • and whom wisdom
and power in the works of His hands they daily law
around them.

Hearty clleer• were then given for the rev.
lecturer, who suitably acknowledged the same, and
the meeting separated.

TOSII COUNCIL Mr.zrixe.—A meeting of the
Council for the borough of Blandlird Forum was
held at tbeTownhaU on Wednesday morning, March
24th. We are unable to give a report of the pro-
ceed_ jogs, as upon application to the Mayor, we were
informed that reporters were not admitted. Is this
as it should be! Have not the public, whose pre-
rogative it is to elect the members of the Council. a
just right to know, through the medium of the
=what the Council are doing from time to
. !
/lave not these who pay the rates a right to
know bow their money is expended! Surely the
gentlemen who form the Council have no canoe to
fear publicity of their proceedings If they act as
! honest and upright couservators of the trust reposed
in them, they have no cause for any false delicacy in
allowing those proceedings to be made public. We
do not wish to say anything that may offend, but
this we do say, and challenge any one to controvert
it, that a meeting called by a printed notice, and
thus made public, ought not, to have its doors closed
vilnat Aliose who represent the public interests.
Truth all honesty court the light, have no fellow-
ship with darkneem or roomy, and one naturally
feels suspicious of that which shuns publicity. The
Town Council, will, we trust, soon see their way ohm
to open the doors for the representatives of the
per, remembering the old adage, "A word to the
woes is sufficient '

-1-a;r:;---14-irit-yit:ss. —On Wednesday evening,
March 25th, the lice. J. S. Raddsch delivered a
very striking sermon in the parish church to a large
congregation ; the subject being. " Fruits meet for
liepeetanaa" The rev. gentleman, as the ground-
work of his arguments, maintained that the meaning
of the teat was, that the avoiding of that by which
we were most easily tempted, and endeavouring to
act contrary to the peculiar bias of our minds to do
evil, even before repentance, were the fruits spoken
of in the text, which, though they did not supersede
repentance and faith, yet were the beginning of •
better life, and that though an outwtrd life of
morality was no proof of • man being converted,
yell without men did heartily repent of sin, and
avoid it, they could not be Christiana. The argu-
ments of the rev, gentleman were forcible and deer,
and we doubt not that many, though at first some-
what surprised with the doctrine set forth, want
away convinced of its troth and reality. _
