Mr. POPO proposed 'The health of the Bishop end
Clergy of the Dim...a" and mid be always felt tie
greet privilege to do to. The Bishop took great interest
In his diocese, sod devoted all his time to the exercise
of his duty. They had the advsntage of clergymen re-
siding In different ports of it, who, If they me:eroded In
obtaining the confidence of their parishioner., were
rumbled to do their datiss with great sasisfectioe. He
thought the present parochial system a very good one.
Their thanks were dee to the Rector and those awry-
men who bad taken part in the services of the church
that day. He hardly liked nothing a gentleman to his
face, but he weld not help saying that he bad been
much plumed by the able, interestiwa end instructive
eerm,n which the Bee. W. Austin Gourley bad de-
livered to them.
Reed—Homr, sweet home.
Rev. W. B. Ausrifi•Gouscia returned thanks, end

have done so, toeing oomparatieely • stranger in the
diocese and in that neighbourhood; however, be bad
been requested to do to by their chairman. He was
sure the great cordiality with which 'ha toast We.
always received at these meeting, was very gratifying to
the clergy ; it showed tiny dad a fast hold on the peopk
of Ragland. With regard to the bishop, it would be
very difficult to find • man filling his high station who
adapted himself no well to his clergy, end every
one with whom he was brought in contact. He
took a greet interest in the wrUare of his diocese sad
watched over it eon spiritual father should do. To show
the popularity of thin toast he had had to return thanks
for it twice within two days, having had to do so at
Broad winsor on the previous day.
Rev. H. RAWLUMOII then propoled the betel "the
Army, Nary, and Volunteers.' He said he was •
peaceable man himself, presiding over a peaceable pariah
es their rector, but be believed the efficiency of three
forces helped to maintain that state of tUngs. He
believed no one In the army and navy Wa6 preseat, &AA
was afraid if they had been, some of the young damseb
in the parish would tate& the scarlet fewfir, or go deep
into the blues—(laughter). He bad a very high
opinion of the vollinteer for., and considered it his
greatest honour to be chaplain of the Bridport Artillery
Corp.. It was through the volunteers that the wmintry
woo so respected by foreign nations, end that there was
so little for the regular army to do. He ceepled with
the taint th• mime of Lieut. Legg.
