GOOD TEMPLAR ANNIVERSARY.

I It wee pleasant on Prida—y to wither the great @Dior-
meat afforded to • goodly number of people. soma of
whom formerly sought their happiness in the public-home.
Good friends of the working climes bad combined to glee
an evening of pleseure that would elevate, and both bene-
factors and those sought to to benofittod mot at the
Templer-room Parketreek whore they first esjoyed •
good tee. The noteworthy foams of the movement is
laeg Mose who have bon Woad sad raised booms In

turn able to give a bend to their poorer neighbours, and
thus the work of making "respectable. people goes on far
more satisfactorily than it could by any levelling.down
process. the Temperance m moment alining at levelling up
and not down. After tee and intervals of chat and clear-
ing away, about 90 young people gathered on the platform
and performed a programme, rather too long, Nit with
soope for all. The chair was filled by Mr. Russell, w o
spoke of the benefit some years of temperance had con-
ferred on him. The choir wing a "Welcome," Miss Gifford
kindly played two piano solos from '' MILS. Pinafore,"
Miss pitmen sweetly sang "The Blue Alsatian Mountable,"
persevering well in spite of the continual influx of the
audience, which laded till the place was crammed full.
Some addresses and recitations were given by solditas Mr.
Baker's "Handy Andy" causing much taut ter. Of the
civilians who recited or spoke, Mr. Tocukins was very
impressive in " The Wreck of the Prince as Alice," Mr.
Goodchild told of his experiences 90 years and more ago,
in Weyrnuith t Imperance work, and spoke most hopefully
of Wareham,. where the movement has made rapid strides
of late, and D.C.T. oltortood invited new candidate+ for
the order. Miss Martin was encored for her song, " See
that my Grave's kept Green," and uther brothers and
sisters favoured with Bones or roottatiolta. sweetly or
correctly given, Kr. 11. Rogers's "Jobs Ploughman at the
Panorama" being meet laughable, and well reed. The
chorures throughout went exceedingly well, and had the
merit of being given with the correct amount of power for
the room. 01 the songs Mr. W. Griffin's " Jolly Young
Waterman," was sung with much Mete, and some art and
posse; it was among the best of the .vaning. Twenty-
six items of the most varied character were successfully
got through, and then they were obliged to leave out three
but the entertainment wet enjoyed to the very end.

BROAD WIT.

&mice or Sotro.—On Wednesday evening last the
Congregational choir gave the service of song entitled
—" Uncle Tom," in the Broschrey Temperance Hall,
on behalf of the " Broadwey" Lodge of Good Templar',
No. 2,495. There was a good attendance, considering
the unsettled state of the weather. The service com-
menced by singing "Beneath the Cross of Jesus,"
which was rendered most creditably by the choir.
The connective readings were given with much effect
by the Rev. J. S. Butcher. Great impression was
caused by the singing of "Turn back Pharoah's
Army,' Mr. Butcher singing the first line of each
verse unaccompanied. "Canaan, sweet Canaan," was
I well rendered and well received. Some of the other
pieces were —"Let them come in," "Over the Jasper
Bea," "Nearer Home," "Sleeps in the Valley," and
others. At the close of the service Mr. Snooks very
cordially moved a vote of thanks to the choir and Mr.
Butcher, seconded by Mr. J. Hodder, and supported
by Mr. Spicer. Mr. Butcher eultably responded,
remarking that the choir as well as himself was ready
and willing to rive the entertainment--aa willing as
they were to receive it. (Applause.) Miss Clapp
very ably presided at the American organ. The
Doxology brought a very pleasant evening to a close.

The Builder says:—On the 29th ult. the parish
church of Chideock was re-opened, after restoration,
which appears to have been much needed, the building
having been allowed by neglect to get into a very
dilapidated condition. Several of the heavy timbers
in the south aisle roof were found to be completely
rotton at the ends, and as soon as the lead was
removed fell in of their own weight, showing that
instead of supportint; they were actually supported by
the lead rouffing, which, happily, was deeply embedded
In the walls. The east and west walls ot the transept
were also very much decayed and out of the perpen-
dicular, and an unsightly beam had been
substituted for the transeptal arch. The restoration
has included the removal of the gllle7, the complete
reparation of the belfry, the rebuilding of the north
wall of the nave, and east and west walls of the
transept, the insertion in the former of two new
perpendicular windows, the re-roofing, re-flooring, and
re-glazing of the entire church, covering the south
aisle roof with new lead, laying a six-inch bed of
concrete beneath the new wooden floor and pro-
viding for ventilation between the concrete and the
wood, the building of the new transeptal, chancel, and
side arches, with supporting buttress outside the south
wall, fresh mortaring of the interior, and pointing and
renewing the decayed stonework of the exterior, at a
total cost of "bout £l,lOO. The work has been done
under the direction of Mr. G. R. Crickmay, of Wey-
mouth, the diocesan surveyor. One of Porritt's stoves
has been adopted for heating purposes. Mr. Jno. Beer,
of Wareham, has carried out the works. The stained-
glass windows are by Masers. Lavers, Barraud, and
Westlake.

W&SLEYAN CHAPEL, MAIDEN STREET.

CHAPEL ASPITILIZAT.

On Sunday, the 24 la, the Rev. G.ore Hack preached
morning and evening tot no good c ingregations.
On Monday Mr. !toxic di 1 ...red his p mul ar lecture to
an &pee-Medea aodience on "Whitfield. the Rlcquant and
Suceessful preacher.' During the course of the lecture be
pictured the low is.da of relielola life in Method in the
preceding century as needing some special evangelisimt
agency to infuse into it new energy, and to rouse ministers
and people from thiir stritht and iennrasthe Into stronger
faith in Christianity and into loftier conceptions of ata
principles, and he averred that u Paul was specially called
of God for his work, and Luther for his, so the Rev.
Messrs, Wesley and Whitfield were specially appointed of
God to produce the great revival of the put and present
century. The lecturer paid an eloquent tribute to the
character and SUMO!. of Mr. Wesley. remarking that hie
followers all over the world number nearly twenty
million of pe irate. He th-n sketched Mr. Whitdirs
career, declaring how immense multitudes everywhere
flocked to listen to him, how he wielded marvellwia power
over ewer diversity of audience from the rude Kinperood
colliers to the &riot sexacy whir assembled in Lady Hunt-
ingdoe's drawing-room. He mentioned that in one week
be received &thousand letters from as many pimple thank-
ing him for the spiritual bstai-fits received from his
ministry. The lecturer then humourously referred to his
courtship and marriage, and mentioning that neither the
marriage of Whitfield nor Wesley turned out to be com-
fortable, contended that they either should have remained
unmarried or else have obtained women of extraordinary
piety, who would have been prepared to have sympathised
with them in the unusual character of their work. He
said that the true philosophy of marriage is to get • twin
soul that will leg all lovingly with your own, that will
delight to share your joys and heroically bear your
sorrows, and be at one with you at all times and under all
circemstanega The lecturer then dwelt on his °retorts'
pewee giving illustrations of how irresistibly he carried
away the feelings and imagination of his audience. The
secret of his success, however. lay not in this, but In his
profound belief in the Bible, in the holiness of his life, and
much pedal'.
The lecture taok nearly an hour and a-half in dsliverfa
and the lath nation of the congregation was tinkled to the
end.

AN IMPOSTER.

To as tater.

Sir,—Allow me to explain that in, intention in writing
to you warn not to raise • controversy, but to call the
attention of the public to the fact that an imposter was at
lame. No damaging reflection on the Good Templar
Order WM intended by me, and although I conidder "A
Good Templar's" letter somewhat contradictory, I can
are him that I do not for • moment think that Good
Ternplarism and Good Citizenship are Inc ,mpatibbi with
each other, for I know many, ionic in Weymouth and •
few in the county town, whose good citizenship date from
the night on which they were linked to the Good Templar
Order.
I hops you will excuse the late date of this letter, but
It has been canoed by press of business and absence from
town. —Your's faithfully,
