afterwards for doing so. Said he to an acquaintance
"After all I lost nothing btiiiiii,for when I canes from the

"Tesre Is • solemn teaching for you you gave that

who had decorated the church with flowers. The church

P. rhaps not another parish clergyman could say he had •

A high dignity has bra most worthily conferred on our

of his diocese from that point of view.
Rev. Mr. BUTLEK, of Broadmayne, once beard • speech
about missions by • NMI Who carried the plate in church.
It was—" I don't like to re these poor people asked to
give their money to tbese poor blocks. Who knows any-
thing about the poor blocks r He warned them ageinet
such a spirit as that. It eat Cain's reply—" Am I my
brother's keeper r The anti-missionary spirit is the spirit
of Cain and of Judas; but let as have the spirit of Christ,
who said—" Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold,
them also I must bring, and there shall be one fold and
one shepherd." The anti-missionary spirit is unreasonable,
because It does not take cogoleance of things as they are.
The child who looked out on houses, treed, and the hills
beyond, faceted he saw the end of the world. and we shall
be as narrow if we only look at our own country.
Supposing the merchant said—" I will have nothing to do
with cotton, silks, and tea; home produoe Ls enough for
me," commerce would o,llapee, and we should be at •
standout. The anti-missionary spirit is unjust; the Lord
Jesus taught his disciples—" Freely have ye received;
freely give."
The Rev. ROMMT Feartunansos, of Ltngtoo, regretted
that the first interest in missionary societies is passing
away; but felt it quite refreshing that there, in • rather
remote place, it was still kept up, and perhaps the
blessed influent)e of her who hid most to do with these
gatherings will never paes away from this parish. God

WOOL.
ODDFELLOWS DEMONSTRATION.

On Thera&ly last was • red-letter day in the quilt
village of Waal. The eventful Oa:argon was the annual
demonstration of the Yellows, and, es thit weather in
the early morn wai all that could be dubs& the villagers
were early at work in making the external appearance of
the place as gay is possible with the limited resources they
had at command. The result was very pleasing, and in
the two principal roadways triumplud arches were erected,
and, with • good display of bunting at the most conspicuous
parts of the village, made the whole *casein harmony with
the festive
. . . . . .

, iralf.pasT;n o'clock the members of the lodge
met at the Slack Bear Inn, and, heeded by the local brasi
band marched to church. where • sermon was preached by
the Rev. A. Huller, It A., from the words-v" Bear ye one
anotber's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." They
, had all come there that day to worship God, and by doing
so they acknowledged there waa • happier and immortal
sphere, to which, If thy wished, they might all go. Some
of them were denizens of that place, and others he could
I see were strangers. There was one motive which brought
them there that day, and that was the celebration of
the objrchi of their benefit society, and benefit societies
In general. But, besides that, he hoped they bad
come there for the worship of the Almighty, that God
from whom we expect everything in this world and in
that which is to come. They had muse there that day to
hear what the minister of Christ had to my to them. Now
what state did they end themselves in this country and
at this time I Long, long ages ago the Apostle Paul wrote
to the Galatians that they should bier one another s
burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ, and those
words were just as applicable to them to-Ur.
There was no child in this world, rich or poor,
who was content with his state, and so long as he was a
creature of this world, he should always feel a inswing for
something more. Let them remember the Christian
sentiment, having food and raiment, let u* be content.
We live in a fallen world, and we are fallen creatures,
and le our short sojourn here, we ought to hole one
another and make life • little more tolerable than It
otherwise would be. By auch institutions as these, they
carried out the law of God, in helping to beer one another's
burdens. He hoped they would do nothing that day
which would be displeasing to God. He did not for s moment
say they were going to do so, but it was the duty of the
Christian minister to bold out the red flag, let them
remember that it was their paramount duty to love the
Lord their God, and to honour Him first in
ve
and their brethren second. If they carried ouetthratthir'ilito

His Honour sesta reforred to the question into whether
the bores woe good in harness, when Mr. Join.% touching
such interrutitt,nr, stai t it wee the us.ast unseemly thing
be Nil over witncese I.
One of the J try said if they talk-rt for six weeks they
(the Jury) c mid not alwr their vtrdict.
He Honour reproached them for giving a verdict con-
trary to their oath.
Mr. Jails, continued to pruteAt ag unit this courw,
when the Judge said " fluid yo ir tongue, sir; be quiet,
or 11l hove you r.:m vo.i."
A warm disruesi en etiona suLl was continued fur elm°

Mr: (Landry sold th buy hid taken upon themselves to
Interpret the last, and Mr. Jelliffe again protest,d.
His Honour told him g) go sal finish his .perch in the
otrr.t,• but he replied he should stay and interpose as long I
AI be thaught it neces4sry.
The Jud.ze again adverted to the jurr finding a verdict
not in arconlancs with the evidence, and continued to mg
tho' two witntowes had setorn the mare was represented
t , be good 'n harness. and
Mr. Joine again pointed out that that was contradicted
by two witnesses, and there c.tuld be more evidence if
nee. ssary.
His Honour: Will you go await
Mr. Jollff 11l not go away ;I won't hays ths,igry
Improperly leterfered with.
His Honour said the jury had made a mlstoke, and
Mr. Jolliffa argued they had not, and that all his (the
judge's) talk would not induce the jury to stultify them-

The Judge again threatened to have Ur. lola'
removed.
The jury slid they could nat alter their verdict. (Ap-
plause.)
His honour said they had found it not in accordance
with the evidence and military to law.
Mr. Jolliffe Paid the Jury thought with himself and the
public and His !Linear the reverse.
Mr. Gundry observed that if that verdict was recorded
he abou:d bane to apply for. new trial.
Hit Honour toll the jury if they obstinately persisted
it could otiose a new trial.
Mr. Jolliffe said he didn't care for that, and in the
meantime the Lend Chancellor might have something to
say about it.
His Honour; "Go away, you public nuisance," and
added he should not allow effect It be given to the
verdict.
Mr. Id I iff said he should compel it by essedrusaus.
The Jury ag tin said they thought there wet no wet rant,.
and nothing of the port repnwented.
His Honour thought they were perversely obetinat.:—Se
had n heard such a thing, and if they gave a verdict
not in accordance with law, he would have it entered
another way.
Mr. Julliffe said be hoped. his Honour would commit
himself to that, as he knew what course would be open to
The Judge asks I the jury to alter the verdict; but they
ref used, when he said it they were obstinate they would
cause a deal of trouble.
Mr. Jolliffe again objected to the judge intimidating the
jury, and asked his Honour where was a single note he
(the Judge) had taken of the easel
His Honour replied with "Go away, be quiet, be quiet,
be quiet." The verdict being not in accordance with law
and the evidence he should direct it to be entered the other

ir. Jolliffe said he was glad his client had the Prudenco
to summon a jury. and he had no doubt that now the
public would be benefited.
The jury, in the course of proceeding; said they had
given a verdict itooording to conscience, but whether
according to law they didn't know.
Ms Honour again laid Own the point of law, but
Mr. Jolliff • said it was no such thing, disputed the
ruling of the Judas, and bad more than a down witimeme
to cell if the case bad gone further.
The Judge remarked he wished perorate would exercise a
little common sense, and
Mr. Jolliffe replied that he wished other people were
governed by • little.
Thu l kind of bantering continued and eventually the
Judge entered for the plaintiff a verdict in cootradistine-
-1 tion to the finding of the jury.
