character and honour ; nor does it come= me how his
wife was dragged (as lie terms it) into the affair. but I
feel it dim to my family and friends that I should con-
tradiat the bass, lyleg aimertioas he has made in refer-
ence to myself. lie gays that the girl would never
have been in her present position if I had done my
duty by her, and n t refused her shelter when she left
bar situation and be says that I stated that I would
see her stern first. That, be slays, was the reason
why he and his wile took her in, fed, and clothed her.
He goes on to my that neither I nor any of her frieods
had ever been round to his boom to make the least
enquiry as to her condition, and he doube very much

of the ground already gained. A means of gaining ground
wee by having persons regularly engaged is promoting the

THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER.
To ilte

Sir,—During the past few years, as the fifth of
November approaches, it has been usual for rumours
to get about to the effect that a torchlight procNision,
etc., is c ntemplated. How, or why, thee. rumours
become current is a mystery, for we had nothing here
to show that they have any foundation.
Th's year we are again troubled with the news that
a " cr oi I firework demonstrati n " is being organized.
New, sit a young mac, I s'‘ouhl very much like to 5.•
an affair here on the 4th or th of November (t• the
Fifth happens to be on a Sudsy), but I should also
like to remind these who are starting the idea that no
time remsins to be lost. If it is to come to anything
there jet, be an amount of work done by someb,dy,
and, as I hear of n holy as yet being appointed to
as c mamittre men, I think it is time ti begin.
My idea in troubling you to insert these few remarks
is that perhaps some of the gentlemen who have under-
taken t) try and stir Weymout'i op ler once (not by
any way an easy task) might let us know something
definite as to their plans. Enclosing my address, I
am, Sir, yours truly,

HARVZIT FISIIVAL.—Harvest thankegiviog services
were held at the village church on Tuesday evening
last. Great tute was displayed by the ladies who
undertook the work of adorning the sacred edifice.
The decorations were not profuse, but beautiful and
choice flowers were displayed to the best advantage.
The beautifully caved font was most tastef ally adorned
with dshlias, ferns. marigolds, and the curiously.
pretty 'Prince. Plume." the latter adding in no
small measure to the general effect. tin the altar was
a beautiful floral cross, the work of Miss Williams
(Herringstone), and two miniature sheaves, composed
of barley. The chancel Noreen, lectern, and pulpit
were each pleasingly decorated, and on the latter
was a chaste cross of white dahlias. To the Kisses
Symonds la due almost the entire proles for the work.
There was a fairly numerous oongregation, the
majority of whom were labouring m.o. The service
was conducted by the Rector (Rev. W. Miles Barnes)
the musical portion a the service being led by an
efficient choir, assisted by friends from Dorchester.
The Psalms and Lessons were very appropriate, and
the hymns and anthem were taken fr.mn the set form
much in use in this and other diocesee. Calloott's
"Thou Viaiteat the Earth" was the anthem. and it
was very creditably rendered. The Rev. W. Miles
Barnes preached an able sermon from M.tt. xxv., 40.
He apologised for the unexplained ab,enoe of the
clergyman who wari to have preached the sermon.
The collection W6l in behalf of the Dorset County

Corresponnence.

To At &Nor.

_
Dear Sir,—At a time of national rejoicing at the
success of our arms in Egypt, it is perhaps inopportune
to criticise adversely the way In which a part of that
rejoicing is carried out. The fireworks and bonfires of
the rude past are no more, and we indulge in the more
respectable and ec n,mical mode of thanking God in
our churches!, not indkidtial:y and spontaneously, but
by certain psalms and prayers, according to the feeling
of some dignitary of more or less eminence, and by
certain hymns and sermons, according to the taste of
our own particular sa.tor and master. It la against
this mode I would enter any feeble protest, taking my
argument from the very doctrine preached In the
English Church, an I laid down by its Head. Tile
God of the E.tablished Church Is not a god of battles,
not • Roman Mars. He rules over all sorts and con-
ditions of men, Egyptian and English, bond or free.
Without touching politics, I may say that this is
neither a religion; war, nor one to preserve our hearths
and homes, but one undertaken to treserve (as is on all
sides admitted) a useful, sucomeful monetary specula-
tion in the East, and the Goi—who lays down that
he who bath his coat taken from him, should give his
cloak; he who Is 'mitten on the cheek, should turn
the other—will hardly reverse His teaching for the
sake of • war, which may or may not be a worldly
neasesity. The line of conduct laid down for the
individual will not be annulled by molter for the
nation.
A great orator has said—" Let us be sure, If we ro
to war, first of all that it is a necessary and just war;
secondly, if now necessary, whether it might not have
been prevented by more skilful management." These
points answered astisfactorily may recommend war to
man; but surely tbe God of the New Teetaroont would
need something more.
If "craving credulity" should lead us to pray to
God for help in • Isar be may condemn, do not let us
forget that valuable auxiliary, • penny, or so, on
the Income Tax, or our soldiers will fare poorly
Indeed.
Yours faithfully,
Qusattcs.
