BAPTIST HOME iilmerauriom SOCIETY.

The friends in and monad this district had for some
time looked forward with earnest expectation to Yds
day last, which was the tension of an onscloor ma
meeting in conneotiou with the above—the first of it.
kind ever held hen Through the kindness of Mrs.
B. B. Sheridan, of Frampton Coort, the tea was held
on the lawn in front of Maokistord Tann House, and
the house itself was thrown open for all oonvenieirdes.
Upwards of 200 persona sat down to • bountiful supply,
the weather being beautifully fins, in fact everything
that could be desired, whioh appeared to arouse the
spirits of all prevent to great thankfulness foe the
mercy thus bestowed upon them. Amongst others we
noticed B. B. /thyroidal', Ml, Norton.
Good (Dorchester), Mr. J. Davis (Piddiethenthide),
Rev. H. Davis (Otter, St. Mary), Rev. H. Moore (Stilt.
water, secretary of the assodstion), Mr. and We.
Mills (Dorchester).
An open-air meeting followed, when a moth larger
number of people assembled to hoer the gentlemen
announced to address the meeting, and we mud my
the greatest atheotion woe given throughout, especially
when Colonel Molesworth delivered his address, he
appearing to rivet the attention of all present. Mr.
F. Mills, of Dorchester. prodded, Iththey's hymns
being occasionally sung. "Stead up, stand up for
Jesse" was the opening hymn, after which the Rev.
H. Moon offered an appropriate prayer.
The Cumuli said, standing then made him look
book for 20 year" last month, when the society woe
first formed to that district He bad more in his bent
than he could give utterance to with his month, for
the gratitude he felt was mwe than ever increased
through the so far success of that day's proceedings.
Be was thankful to be able to see that Mr. Davis
had won so many friends in his district, which was an
extensive one. His friends were not only hone who
belonged to the Baptist Churches, but many of them
belonged to the Established Church. (Hear, hear.)
Be felt he should be out of pans in occupying much
time, considering they had so many good friends come
to address them ; but he could not help praying that
the hinging of High Heaven might red uoon all on
the Frampton Estate, also those who would follow.
(Appian's.)
Colonel 1610LISWOIrra. of Weymouth than delivered
• moat interesting Gospel address, taking for his text
—"The Bread of Life which came down from Heaven,
and man may sot thereof and not die." All the argu-
ment' that gentleman adenoid to bear on his text
were strictly scriptural, he remarking that if man eat
of earthly bread he main hungers ; but if he eat• of the
Broad of Life he hungers no more, because this Breed
of Life is Jesus Christ Himself. The Bible, in speak-
ing of this Bread of Life, lays—" Believe on Him, and
thou shalt be saved—eternally saved." Be then
asked all who had eaten of this Bread of Life to hold
up their right heed, when a peat proportion responded
to the invitation. Men may naturally cognize who
would keep them, and in the language of the Holy
Word, he said—" He shall keep you. He shall keep
you until you land safely on the Banks of Immortality.
(The large concourse began to applaud the speaker at
the dose of his &dirges when he told them to give all
the prides to Him to whom it belonged—not to poor
man.)
The Rev. H. Moon (Bridgwater) said be cern as
• sort of representative of the committee of the Western
Baptist Churches, and was gla 1 to be there on amount
of Mr. J. Davis, who had Lthoured so turd to bring
about this kind of thing. Having asked all present
to bear Mr. Davis up to • throne of gran by their
prayers and faith ; he took three texts on which be
based his remarks, vis., 'I know Him in whom I
have believed •He hoth made us accepted In the
Beloved " • "Re that belleveth on the Lord Jesus
Christ hails everlasting Ida" In the nuns of his
observations be bore grand testimony to the work of
the Salvation and Blue Ribbon Armies.
The Rev. EMT Dam (othery St. Mary) spoke
with past saniestione of the seven attributes of the
blood of Jesus Christ—de redeeming, at 'shag, cleans-
init. Preserving, sanotifylag, pleading, and glorifying
qualities.
Mr. J. DAUB said he had looked forward to that
meeting with not • little anxiety. It had done his
heart goo 4 to liaise to the grand teethoonies given
for their Miner. Woad Molesworth gave teetimosy
of 21 years experience • Mr. Moore, ;Is Oinked
God he had been on the way 40 years, and the God
whom they served was the same now as He was In
the beginning, and still mighty to 'civet even to the

At the and of their golouraing in this wilderness he
hoped the " Well dose " of the Master would be eon-

The meeting closed by prayer by the owaseAs at
