night. the 16th lust, • little before nine, I was sitting
in the Sydling vicaumge dining-room. I heard the
front-door bell and went out of the glass side door.
I there saw Josiah Roberts, labourer, standing. I said
'Go off you scoundrel.' I said so because he had been
there In the morning creating a disturbanos. There
was a boo and a reap hook belonging to Roberts lying
on the lawn. Roberts took up the hoe and reap hook,
the reap hook was in Ms right hand. He held up the
reapllhook and said 'I will kill you.' He said this
more than once. Roberta advanced to strike me with
the reap hook still rained. Roberts made a strike at

WT STAJHOZD.

CHURCH biIfiIHORARY SOCIITT. The Stafford
Missionary Meeting is a gathering looked forward to
with affectionate interest and pleasure by many in our
neighbourhood. For forty years it has been main.
tamed, we believe without intermission; for in 1877,
the year marked by the irreparable loss of Mn.
Reginald Smith, the meeting was held, though in
the autumn instead of midsummer. This year again
the honoured family at the Rectory has been sorely
bereaved; but the meeting has been held, and the
welcome both at the house and the church has been as
cordial as ever. The weather, though not fine, was
not positively wet; the little chuck, beautifully
adorned with flowers as usual, was nearly aa full as
possible; and the collection (including gifts from
absent friends) amounted to more than EU. Among the
audience we observed Mr. It. Williams, of Bridebeact.
and Mime Williams, Mrs. Bingham, Sir. E. Pearce,
Mr. R. if. Eliot, Mrs. R. Herne, Colonel Oldfield,
Revs. P. F. Eliot, E. Ludlow, G. E. bioule, and W.
C. Osborn, Gummi Reid and Mrs. Reid, Dr. Hassey,
Mrs. Andrews, Miss Campbell, and many other
residents in and near Dorchester. The meeting opened
with the hymn "From Greenland's icy mountains,"
followed by Canon Smith. The RIM H. C. G. bloats
and P. F. Eliot then successively spoke on the general
subject of missionary work and its claims. Another
hymn was sung, and the rest of the time
was given to the Rev. Arthur Monte, just
returned from China, who spoke of details of work
there within his own recent expert's:Loa His opening
remarks contained an affecting allusion to the deaths
of Mrs. Moats, of Fordington, an/ of Mn. Reginald
Smith, both of whom had taken so intense and
practical an interest in the sacred work of Missions.
Mr. Moule then spoke of individual came in his
minion, both of disappointment and success, especially
dwelling on the peculiar difficulties and trials of
enquirers, and asking earnestly for prayer for those
he named. One of the most interesting examples was
that of a native officer in the garrison of Hangchow,
who, bewming convinced of Christian truth, after
visits to the missionary book•room, where he bad gone
at first to meek for scientific books, actually begged
permission of his superior officer t descend to tAt ranks
that he might "give more time to religion." His
motive was known, and his request sternly refused, in
fact, every effort was made to draw, or drive, him
back to heathenism. He still remsins (by the latest
account) an earnest, though bitterly opposed. Christian
at heart. We are unable to report Mr. Moule's
excellent and, in the main, most cheering address at
the length which it deserves ; it plainly impressed the
bearers with strong and real interest, and we trust it
may bear large fruit in renewed and increasing energy
in missionary work. The meeting dueled with the hymn
(never omitted at the Staff md meeting)—" Thou
whose Almighty Word." The large company of
visitors was afterwards reoeived with the old nof.ilicg
hospitality at the rectory.
