BAPTIST TEA AND MEETING AT WEYMOLTTIL
The friends worthipping at Bank buildings chapel had
their annual tea and meeting on Wednesday evening last. I
At six o'clok they met for tea in the schoolroom and not !
only was the lower room full, but many hail to be accom-
modated in the upper room. A number of flags made the
place gay. After tea the friends adjourned to the chapel, :
where the motor, Rev. J. Bailey, presided, immortal by
the Revs. 13.w:tall and J C. Fowler (Wesleyan), Rev. W.
Isevis (Hope Chapel), Mr. Councillor Roberts, and Mr.
Councillor Lundie.
The Rev. J. BAILCY delivered an a pleasant d practical
introductory '
&darted. He sea all our systems of Church
government are being tested, and the Baptista must
thank God that they have been led to adopt the principles
they have, and their euccese will be in proportion to the
thoroughness with ,which they have lived up to those
principles. During the past year, they had repudiated all
claims of sacerdotalisiu and priestcraft. They had met
for worship, had aimed to extend the Redeemer Ring-
limn by Sunday school teaching, and by distribution of
tracts, and in proportion as they hail used the instru-
mentality rightly and fairly, God had blessed them. He
! believed they had meson for congratulation, and their
re% kw of the past ohould had them to hold their princi-
more tirody, sork more
earnestly
in the Master's
issrvis-e, ui,! lie inure diligent than °vet. in His vineyard.
The Choir then sang: "Arise, shine, for thy light is
come; '
The Rev. W. BESTAI.L, Wtsleyall superintendent
minister, mahl that after the very delightful ineetimpi held
in this chapel last week, lie should have been sorry not to
he pierient here to-night, Ile congratulated the pastor on
being a , youthful pastor, and having ninny youthful
members iireunil lieu, Ile believed the limit:ids were the
legitimate suizarsoons of Cie old Puritino, and lie was
glad there would be a peel ouccesoion of Baptists, for they
hail is very good Sunday sellout. Ile was partly a Baptist
liiinoelf, and had bat between the knees of the late Rev.
Robert Hall, when his father entertained that good min-
ister ; lie hail been amiociatol with the Itaptiete in Is write
of revival services at ther town, and the result Was good
both for the Wwileyans and the Baptiste for there was no
quarrel about the division ; wherever the fi.h went they
were weloume. Ile bail I net( rebaptized by immersion
one of his hical preachers who wished to be immersed,
although he (Mr. Reston) did not get into the water him-
self. He was very glasl they had an organ here, and
instead of the eld strictness of the Particular Baptists, he
was very glad they were moving in a route adapted to the
imam,s sail habits of modern society. Spurgeon, he
believol, to be a great boon to the church, ant he often
wishol he could eut•Spurgeon Spurgeon himself. The
whole church of Christ haul suffered much, and aniong
them the Baptiste had hail they full ohare of suffering and
witnessing for Christ New hard work is wanted and
i hard work for Christ will pay well. If we an: to work
hard for Christ, we most follow the example of some of
the fine old models. Would that we emulated the faith
of old Abraham, and the Purity of Joseph ; and the
rsalma of David, are they not some of the fittest forms of
expression of the Church's worohip throughout all times
Then Luther, Wickliffe, and Carey, let us try to rise to
the height of Hese grand models. He did nut believe the
church is going to the bad, and did net think that
ltomanism and Ritualism are going to have it all their
°WI] way. lie thanked God for Mr. Glailotone's letter—
(applause)- &nil for the rag,., of the times, and believed
that the Pope was going to have a check, and that Neu-
ciinfoniiirits of the present day are going to rise to a
higher point of usefulnessfalffilatisek
The lis inn " Oh likes the Lord, my soul" WAS sung.
The Rev. W. I.Ewte said the t 'ongregatienalist
Independents claimed a little of the honour of being the
dwicendanta of the old Puritans ; but the Baptists and
Independent.' were as closely connected as any two
Ructions of the Chureh could be: the barrier could be
piessol by any one who could swim. Ile had thought
when the Hope Chapel was rebuilt of having a hole dug,
and a baptistry made, in order that he might spare some
, of his people the trouble of coming over here to be Mi-
-1 inerned—(laughter). Ile should not object to do no, and if
he had knoorti of the plan of Mr. Beitall. that might have
' nenoved all the difficulty. Ile considerol himself a
thorough Baptist, and Mr. Bailey also, and if Mr. Bailey
did not think him quite up to the mark be could not help
that—(laughter). He was glad to hear the joyful report of
their minister regarding the church, it was the normal
: condition of the church when every member was doing
just as niuch as he could. We ought to be willing to go
anywhere and do anything for Christ ; sonic members
were very particular as to what they did, they wished
only to do work that there are plenty of people reedy to
do, work that was public and honourable. But we Should
be ready to do whatever work is wanting to be done, work
that no eye but the Maoter's will see—that in the spirit in
which we should work for Christ. If men laugh attic call us
seithekkas, or what not, we should be careful still to
work eaneetly for Christ. Let us not be like the sculptor
who engravol his own UllUe in the rock, while he put his
master sin the plaster outside. Let us notgratify human
nature but seek to advance the glory of Christ alone, let '
the Master write our nausea where He will, or never let
Him write it at all; but let Us write His name everywhere,
in the hearts of men. Christ's work requires the loftiest
faith and the lowliest humility, and if we are to do real
work for Him, we must have thfte two element& Christ's
• dinciples once bad not the faith to work a miracle for the
Master, when lie was not visibly present If we don't
: take care, we shall lie tempted to do work that will cover
, a large area, to look large in the eyes of men. Men in
I these days care more about something novel than about
I truth, and let us nit he tempted to do that., let us work
still for Christ, maintaining a spirit of prayer to God to
• water the seed sown, and to leave it to Him to prosper
• the work. But if it be real work done for God, it must
succeed. Then we want the lowliest humility, to be
ready to wash the disciphi feet if need be, if it is the
r work Christ wants of us. We want to do the work that
will cause no ti hue all esteem with the world, even with
our brethren who du not agll3o with us, so long as it is
r genuine work for Christ And let us leave to Christ Min-
k oelf, what rewards he may please to give; if we honour
• Ilea, we shalll have Him honouring tui --(applause).
The Rev. J. Miter said he had felt very humble at
reading a report of "Modes of work suggested." They
- were euggistol, they were in a newspaper report, and
I there was an end to them. Ile urged then' not to let
r their resolutions go out only in speechte and newopatier
r-purta ; but let every one go forth to do the work that
was before him.

The Choir sang an anthem: "I will lift up mine eyes."
The Rev. J. C. Fowtkit advised, the pastor of the
Baptist cause to "take courage." Ile seemed to have
taken a slightly despondent view of things' but he himself
always stopped outside to listen when he heard them
singing here, for there there was some of the best and
most hearty congregational singing in this tewt of the
county. Where the devil had much to do there was not
likely to be much hearty Congregational singing. But
there hail also been about 33 baptisms in the past year,
and though there might have been, some of them,
baptisms of members et the congregation into the church,
vet it was well to have that consideration of the cause.
111 the tea he was glad to see the absence of any stuck-up-
ishness—Gaughtea Ile did not Imagine that the Church
of England, which arrogated tO itself a mune which did
not belong to it, could get together such a representative
gathering of its ilitierent schools, as was present, of Non-
conformity here to night, lie did not believe that Mr.
Wagner, of Brighton, would he as willing to meet Canon
Neale or the Rev. Talbot Greaves, as cordially ag the
&lien:tit Nonconformists hail to-mght. In the church of
Mr. Wagner he had thought he saw a Romanist chapel,
when lie Maud Mr. Gresves, he thought he Lard a good
Methodist preacher --(laughter). In the unity of Nuncon-
forniists he saw a great deal of hone for the future. The
Wimileyans were gradually slipping away inure from
erclimizuitician, and placing themselves inure heartily in
the Noncenformist ranks. In this Nonconformist unity
lie saw not only the promise of the future liut the fruit of

he had more important business to attend bit" and then
my sister said, "I shall go over to Dr. Phileota." I went
down to see my aunt sometimes twice a day, while she
was ill. Saw her soon after nine on the Timolsy morning;
she was in lent, and her little girl wa with her. Dr.
Philmit's Dalai, had not been mentioned to me previously
in connection with the case. Na one has called on me
since my aunt's death in regard to this ease. I am the
daughter of Mr. John lYiliben. I had no inesaage through
my father to go anywhere relative to this cue. Had nut
seen Mr. Hamilton • nor have not been to his shop for the

and Mrs. Brown. We were all told to go to Mr. Curtis
my sister, myself, and Mrs. Coward. We went to him
from my aunt's house, I think the next day (Wednesday);
it wo, before I made my statement to the Board of
Guardians. Saw Mr. Curtis, and told him what had taken
place. Went once only.
Mr. Stone would wish to know who told her to go to Mr.
Curtis I

-B7 Mr. Curtis: The reason we went to anybody about
it—was that we thought my aunt was lit properly attended
to.
Mr. Pearce said it was because her father told her to.
By Mr. Curtis: Didn't think her aunt fell out of bed on
the morning of her death—thought she got out. Went
with her sister to Mr. Turner's about half-past nine ; and
they went directly to Dr. Philpota and he came within

died. I was there shortly after.
By Mr. Hayman . The reason we went to Dr. Philpots
was because Mr. Turner would not say at all if he would
COMO. We did net think of going to Dr. Philpote, but
thought we must have some one.
By Mr. Luff : I told Mr. Turner my aunt was very iIL

I did not tell Mr. .Turner that we should go for Dr.
Philpota.
By Mr. Pearce : I didn't know who we should go for: I
don t know who gave the certificate of death.
By the Inspector: Dr. Philpote only attended once, and
he said it was a dangerous case.
Mr. Travers asked that means should be taken to
prevent the witnesses being prompted by those leaving the
room.
Mr. Curtis had no doubt the same vigilance would he
used on the other side.
Mr. E. P. Philpota said: I am a medical officer of this
Union. Attended deceased because I was asked. Two
women, named Brown and Manuel requested me to du ea.
Attended her immediately after they came to Inc. Did
not remember which 'eked Mut Mrs. Dilden had been

said "No. she had removed from there." Asked what
WM the matter, and they said she had something the
matter with her chest. She had been ill some days.
Asked why they had not sent for him before: and they
said they had had another doctor, mentioning Mr.
Turner. I said "Under these circumstances I ifs not care
to have anything to do with the case." They remonstrated
with me for being unkind; and said. " if you don't crime,
we must get some one else. as we think she is dying." I
said then I would go, if they had told him all that they
had told Mr. Turner. They said they had. They said
when they went in in the morning they found deemed
lying en the floor and not able to get into bed again, and
had been there some part of the night. It was chiefly
through that he went to see her. When I went she was
in bet I thought she heel pueurnouia supervening on

and said so iiumieliately. I did not give the certificate of

Charles Glillingleans of Parkstone, tax collecawr, snit' :
On the morning ”f Tues.day. Uctol.el. 1., I was in Mr.
Turner's aurgery a little I.elure ten o'clock. I was having
a tooth extracted. Two women came to the surgery
while I was there. t Inc of them asked Mr. Turner if he
would go and use Mrs. Wavle. Mr. Turner replied.
"Very well" lie asked whether Mrs. Oiliben was worse.
and the answer was, "She is very ill." t Inc..t
women asked him what time he would call and use her,
and he said, "1 marmot telL" I did not hear Mr. Turner

By Mr. Stone: Mr. Turner said something about a lid
—something to the effect that he had a list to make out.
I understood lie meant the list of his patients.

By the Inspector: I could not repeat the whole oitiver
