CFIILD OKEFORD.

THE Bishop of Salisbury has recently licensed the
Rev. William John Richard Nearne, clerk, to the
curacy of Child Okeforcl, Dorset.

BLANDFORD.
THE Wesleyan chapel in this place was licensed last
week for the solemnization of marriages, and it was used
on Sunday for that purpose for the first time.
LOCAL BOARD.—The meeting of the Board was held
on Wednesday, when • district rate of 10. in the pound
was ordered to be prepared. An application from Mr.
J. Ridout for leave to erect a house in his garden in
Albert-street was refused, on the ground of insufficient
space in the garden. Mr. Charles Dltennett applied for a'
license for his slaughter-house, which was refused. An
apolication from a local reporter for permission to
attend the meetings of the Board for the purpose of
giving reports of the Caine was refused, on the groundl
that reporters were allowed to inspect the minutes of
ouch meetings. A letter from the town clerk was read,'
stating that the corporation were willing to erect al
pump in the horse-fair field and let it to the Board st'
£4 a year, the Board keeping it in repair. It was,
resolved that the offer be accepted. The reports of the
lighting and nuisance removal committee were predueed
and read.
Cuourse MISSIONARY Soaurrr.-0a Sunday last the
annual sermons on behalf of the Church Miseiontry
Society were preached in Blandford Church, by the
Rev. W. a. Lyon, IL A., notor of Oborise, Sher,
borne, who selected as his morning's text part of the
35th verse of Acts xx,. "Remember the words of the-
Lord Jesus., bow he said, it is more blessed to give thatr
to receive.' In introducing his subjeot, the rev. gentle-
man remarked that though these words were used by
Christ they formed no part of the writings of the four
Evangelista, but were among those sayings to which St.,
John alluded. He then proceeded to show that inde-
pendent of any religious motive, the principle that it
woi more blessed to give than to receive, held good.
There was an elevating effect produced on the mind by
acts of benevolence • a real pleasure, whereas living
upon charity lowered. the dignity of a man, and took.
from him his self-respect. The man who gave liberally
enjoyed one kind of pleasure which the niggard ,or
covetous knew nothing of. On that °occasion his desire
was, however, to raise their minds to a higher principle,
namely, that of giving out of love to Christ. They must
not suppose that giving liberally they could purchase
the favour and love of God. They mu,t not look upon
the promise of everlasting life as a reward or wages
from Christ; but whilst preaching a free Gospel ana
proclaiming that men are to come to Christ just as they
are in their feebleness, infirmity, and sin, it was his
duty, also to point out to true believers their dnty of
proving their love to Christ by feeling for his afflicted
people, by cherishing a spirit of sympathy for them, and
by a lib-ral ministering to their necessities. •Telni've
the power of giving for Christ's sake wee a great blessing,
to have the will to do so was a far greater; many had
the former, but not the latter, and some who bad the
will, had not the means. How great, then, was the
blessing of those to whom both were given. The preacher
then alluded to the many blessings enjoyed in this
world, all coining from God, and especially the
,greatest
blessing—pardon and peace through Chriskand exhorted
all present to set apart for benevolent and,:cltristian
purposes • definite portion of their income systemati-
cally, week by week. He then showed that the best
gift Christians had teeffer was a free Bible and religious
instruction, and concluded' an admirable extempore
sermon by referring to the operations of the Church
Missionary Society, the success which had attended its
labours in Sierra Leone and India, particularly pointing
out that in the former place, through the agency of the
Society, churches had been established, which were now
self-supporting, and that from the commencement
of the cause there the converts had been encouraged to
lay by so much of their means every week as they could
afford, and thus tlir- -are now enabled to support theig
