ST. PAUL'S HARVKAT THaffeanivi•o.—The little
church which witne•ses for good in the fast-rising
suburb of Washington was very p etttly decorate I an
thanksgiving f,,r harvest. The fon was ths care of the
Misses Warrington., who adorned it with beds of Ino.s.
on which were arranged dahlia. geraniums, roses, and
ether fl men, with maiden hair ferns; on the waits ,
were curtains, bearing the text.—" Thu crow...est the
year with Thygoodness," " L rib ath done great
things for us,, ' Thy mercy, G Lord, endureth for
ever," & A cr. es of row, geraniums, and ferns, was
in front of the pulpit, whith was *is • wreathed with
flowees, corn, alai foliage; the reading de.k bad a pro-
fusion of rants and dahlias, with euonymus and other
leaves; the oommunion rail, were entwined with
wreaths covered with green and red berries, and on the
sill, in the chancel, apples and dahlias on beds of moss,
and wheat and barley were arranged in small sheave..
'• The joy of the bird is our strength'. was over the
chancel arch, and near was the promise," The Lord will
provide." The Rev. F. F aster preached in the morn-
ing and the Rev. H. C. Pigou, recta of Wyke, in the
evening, on Sunday last.
HOLY TIMM HASVCST THANKSGIVING. The
ladies interested in Holy Trinity church, led by Miss
Addis m an 1 Mn. Shuttieworth, very beautifully
decorated the chancel end for thanksgiving services
last week. The font war ales adorned with in ,as
bedded araund the bowl and in the carving thereof. and
maiden hair ferns were uaei as • ground t / sat off the
clernatiii, white roses, white and maiden bush
chrysanthemums. which were arranged as • garland
around the bowl, and a cross springing therefrom.
On the pulpit was a erns, of rose., lilies of choke
kinds, and other flowers, set off with ferns, of grapes
splendid btmehes hung train various points, and
borders of oats, and other corn made a pleasing
and appropriate addition to the many beautiful
flowers. Buxom dahlias were in abundance on the
choir stalls, with border, and wreaths of oats,
autumn berries, rose hips and fame, with alternate
bunches of white and purple grapes, and tipped with
wheat and barley. On the reading-desk were large
sunflowers, prominent among the bouquets of delicate
white anemones and vari-coloured aete,s, the whole set
in foliage. & small sheaf stood on the communion
table surrounded at the bane with fine pears, and above
was the text—" Thou visitest the earth and bleariest
it." Grapes and corn completed& very pretty arrange-
ment. On the communion rails were dahlias,
chrysanthemums, Lc., and on the door • beautiful
Anal cross, composed of asters, geraniums, and ferns;
though the flowers and foliage mentioned are but a few
of the varieties of beauty brought to aid in the charm.
lug deoorations. The services were held on Thursday,
when Holy Communion was celebra•ei at eight,
prayers at 11, and at 7.30 a full choral service, the
prayers being intoned by the 1t.,.. W. S. Shuttleworth,
M. A. The venerable vicar, Be.. J. D. Addison,
preached an excellent sermon, and about £4 was
collected for the Dorset County Hamit.l.
ENTNITAINNISIT AT ST. JAits's Sothohatook.--&
series of winter entertainments was commenced on the
evening of the 29th ult, by the memb Ire of the reading-
room in St. John'. parish, some menib re of the choir,
and ladies and others connected with the neighbour-
hood, with the same success which has attended
similar previous efforts for the amusement of the
public. A full house greeted them with continuous
plaudits, which only owed wh to the Rev. Canon
Stephenson came forward to preside, •:,d open the pro-
needing' with • few words of hearty welcome to all
present. The songs, glees, and other vocal and instru-
mental music were intorno/wand with some short read-
ings, all of which appeared tog ye great satisfaction to
at. appreci stive audience. The tueswars of the reading.
room very well opene I the ,vellin:g with that old and
favourite chorus—" Jenny Juoc.,' which was followed
by the song—" Sympathy," ming with fresh pathos by
Mr. Sydney New. Both of toesi were deservedly
applauded. Then followed • bright little song by Miss
East —"My Brillitht and I," which was succeeded by
a reading from Borrow's Lavengro—" The Robbers'
Haunt, by Mr. W. W. Raveshill l'ho ladies and
choir then sang • chorus—" The Stars that above us
after this came very happily as mg well sung by Mr.
White—" The Lights far out at Sea," and a utheet
effective reading by Mr. Hertfoot —" Darby and the
Rap," which won universal anplau-o, amidst consider-
able laughter. But time and tide, ace' we must aid
—"The Tickling Trio," of Messrs. Macock,
}Bosley and Warren, wait for no morn; hut the fun
gave way to the funeral moldy of "The Dutch-
man's Wee Dog," sung with h-artiness by the
reading-ruoui member.. In the sec ind part of the
entertainment we would mention a very pretty duet—
" Venetian Boat-song," by the SUIPSiII East, and a
spirited piano piece (alas ! too brief) by Mies E.
Stephenson, and what appears I to us, perhaps, the
gem of the evening—" Spring with Fairy Foot," •
glee by the ladies and choir. Lattr there was an
amusing reading by Rev. H. Randall, "Melting
Momenta.," the 'tory of • thief who unenumionaly was
detected concealing some butter in his bat; insidious
talk and the influence of • stove gradually covered him
with the precious compoun I, even to his feet. Nor
must we omit to mention James Wellspring's capital
rendering of " Ring the Bell, Wattlunan," or Mr.
Warren's favourite song, "The Village Blacksmith,"
which deservedly obtained • hearty encore—the only
one of the evenin c. "The Men of Ilarlech" and "God
save the Queen," sung by all, brought this excellent
performsnce to a close. Miss E. Ravenhill presided
at the piano.—Tbe Rev. Can .n Stephenson returned
thanks to a 1 who had so kindly ministered to the
amusement of the audience, Ile believed their labours
were thoroughly appreciated. It should be known
that the proceeds of these entertainments were devoted
tta the maintenance of the tea ling-room, and there a
pleasant evening might be spent by any young man
who chose to join, every night in the week,all_particu-
lan about which would be given by the Rev. IL
Randall, who win always happy t receive additional
members.

Dist-IRON IN FlSH.—Willitto Bennett Ford was
summoned by John Cole, master of the ketch
Harlequin, for obtaining by false pretences a quantity
of fish, with intent to defrsud.—Plaintiff stated that
he came into It srlxiur on the 22nd of last month, and
sold a quantity of skate and gurnet to defendant, who
gave him an order in writing that the fish were for Mr.
John 00x. Hint the plaintiff bad seen, and after that
saw defendant, and toll him no authority was given
him; but defendant persisted that the person named
had given him the order, and be hat witnes.os
to prove it. Defendant also gave plaintiff 15.. ; the
value of the fish was £2 4e., and plaintiff swore he would
, not have trusted &fondant, had be not toll him the
, fish were for Mr. Cox.— %fr. George appeared for
defendant, aid said he had b 'tight fish for him for a
long time, and WIN under the impression that be had
a general auth..rity t, buy limb for Mr. Cox.—He
cross-examined C ,I;nwito denied that F. r I com-
plained that • quentWy of fish was bad.—John Cox
said prisoner had bought fish for him up to the 21st
of hat month; but on this 22n i witness never gave
him any "privilege" to buy any. Defendant came
over to his house and told him • 1.4 id skate wa. come
in, but witness returned he had to take some things to
Portland for • gentleman, and could not stop abort it
today. He did not authorise him to enter into any
agreement in writing for flI,, nor to par-lase any for
ham. Ford came over afterwards, and told him he
had brought the flab; but witness said he could not
help it ; he shouldn't have anythioi to do with them.
—Mr. George urged this was a case which might be
settled if the Bench would give defendant a week to
p iy the bal U 1 Ca in.—The Mayor said th. ss who sold
fish ought to be vary osreful to whom they sold them,
the superintendent wars very frequently appealed to
about thew sales, and it seemed as if the C net was
to be used as machinery to settle these Cases. But
he reminded Mr. George it WM a very serious matter
for his client. If defendant wished to assert the fish
were bed, as was implied by the cross.examinstanu,
that would, be thou,tbk have very little weight with
the Bench. and cerainly very little on his mind,
because defendant being a regular buyer of fish, would
be careful what he bought,—Mr, George said some
of the fish were In boxes. But the Mayor still believed
that Ford, as a buyer, would he able to judge what be
bought. Mr. Geo.ge bad difficulties to contend with,
and the Bench would consent to the case being

Recto is the political current of our times.
Since the words were spoken, event- here abundantly

their power is making itself largely felt. This is still the

of the world I Surely when those who possess knowledge
of Christian truth fail to take part in public life, the salt
wit have lost its savour, and the light will have been put
tinier a bushel. Its mom. . cam the savourless salt of
Cnristianity will be Cali out and it diem under foot of
men, and thews who are in the hoses ot the world will be

Let us not I orret that we ore el ovens as well as Christians

that we have duties to perform *nettle oat of each relotion

we are for the pertormauce of religioos work, for Vie

Cotietian troth. The importancs of these things may
differ, hot our duty in each case rest, upon the moue
basis of fidelity to Christ and love to our fellow MOO. Our
pswers and opportunities in relation to, public aff•irs may
be great or swell; but in any cafe we are bound to use
them for the puhlic good, and as a mean, for promoting
Christ.anAirteciples in the life and government of the
people. We may do well to keep clear of mere party strife
an troy world of pont 0; ; but to be indifferent about
political principles or political action will be to ignore the
claims of duty and the cause of Christ in one special and
very important direction. And toe Mater has sail, "He
that is faithful in that which is least is fMthtul woo in

There are some points which, if duly considered, will
deepen one interest in this matter and help to enforce our
responsitsility as Christian men cod ettisena. Let us
notice one or two of these particulars, and make them a
ground of appeal.
The first point to be considered is tke power for good
taloa godly MOM Alum often ewereieed In tAe water of aril
government.
Religious character has been grandly manifest In public
life; piety has been conspicuously maintained in conjunc-
tion with political activity; the claim. of virtue end god-
liness have been honoured amidst the affairs of State, in
the courts of upsuarchs, and in the parliaments of nations.
And to the influence of g "sod men in political life. the
world is indebted for the most beneficent aud honourable
en ,tments of the governing avithority.
We cannot forget that Mows, the servant of God, was
the greatest statesman and law-giver of the Jewish nation

It by soch men that the great reforms have been
'Rotted for the public ford, and the political lite of the
notion preserved front otter c.rruption and decay. What
etniting instance of this we hove in the abolition of the
slave trade I We all know hoe that great result was
encored by the ...tiring effort sod un•wervin.: fidelity of
men who, like Clarks en and IVilliwriorce, carried the
p •wet tif Chl4l.nety into political life. England's
ststuteh mk gives ample liii striations of the triumph. of
Christ ion ptinciple, and we pray that ita unwritten pages
may beer yet brighter records.
We see no incongruity between Chri•tianity and politica.
between the service of the State and the service of Cod.
We see no inroucst• ncy to a follo•er of Christ dee t ng
hinnwif to print,. tine goori of the people by civil Irgida•
tion or the adobe cry of sound political principiro. Nay.
we rather urge this as a duly up in Christian men who
hove the power lind opportunity, Wu to serve the people
of their day and generation, sin it. God's name we bid
them 'peed.
. . . . . . .

Another and more Imporant point for consideration is
this--that preesesinenes belongs to Christ in all thumps
Jesus is the King of mmi. tio rh .11 have dominions fr..in

not in the S mate f in the limes of Prayer and not in the
Parliament of the pe tole! By the subject multitude and
not hy the governing few!
Brethren, I have no fear an to the answer you would
give to these questions, and feel well assured that we
must go elsewhere to find thee who, br sepia ition of
Chrivianity from polities, would revent the triumph of
truth on one of Its great battlefields, and leave the food's&
wisdom .if the world alone to ord-r the vital interests of
the people. There are etyma who say we must wait for
the kingdom unril Child the king shall come Personally
to ref n. that there can he no subjection of the nations

Hi. c mine, and anal glory : but le not Christ already and

mountains, and the I ruit thereof shall s ske like Lebanon."
" Hl.l name shall en lure for ever, an I men shall be blessed
In Him ; all nations shall call him blessed." The King I
Emmanuel I

We urge, then, the import slice of maintaining Christian
principles in public life as a means of advancing the
Kingdom of Christ amongst men. Hi,tovy shove thst
there his been too mach of ecclesiasticism and too little
Christianity in the Government of the peoples, too many
religious dignitaries and too few rdigious men, too sager a
zeal for the claims of churches, and too little concern for
the honour of Christ. We therefore cuntend for a more
outspoken Christianity in the sphere of politics. L'it the
principles of Christ's kingdom be maintained as boldly in
the Parliament ars in the pulpit, in the Council Chamber
as the Church, by the Chri.tioz citizen as by the minister
of Cbri.t. Let liberty, jusVcs, brotherhood, the fear of
God, and the rights of all men, be mores eadfestiv upheld
in the Government of nations, and we hare no fear but
that ihrestsned evils will be averted from the State, and
the Kingdom of Christ become supreme amongst the
people. While we pray—" Thy kingdom come," let good
men and true seek its advancement by maintaining
Chris•ian truth in public life, 90 shall the Muter be
glorified, and the people come to understand that " He is
the freeman whom the truth makes free, and all are slaves
beeide."

"Cont. then, 0 King O'er all thy works rejoice.
Come, then, and finiah thy sublime designs
Corn then, and beni.h from the waiting earth

restrain the passions of the multitude and order the
counre's of statesmen, that wrong shall be put to shame,
and virtue reign supreme. Then it shall be seen that
while righteousness exalteth the nation, such exaltation
is but a step toward the greater kingdom and glory of
Jesus Christ. "Then a king 'hail reign in righteousness,
and Kluft, shall rule in judgment; the heart also of the
rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the
stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. Then judg-
ment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness
remain in the fruitful geld. And the work of righteousness shal be peace, and the effect of righteousness quiet-
ness and aouranee for ever."

there be no bowing in the house of Rimmoo, no coot.
Promise of princinle, no neglect of duty, no betrayal of the
Master's cause with a kiss of seeming friendship, no
secrifice of Christ to plisse either Caw or the crowd, the
mighty or the mean.
. .

;I—us.may the truth be precious, and the
conflict for it bravely carried on. We cannot fail, if true
to Him we serve, the Christ.

Come, cheer thee to the toil and fight ;

In Him los strong.
So r nod thy brow the wreath shall twine,
So shall the victory be thine,
And thine the song."
And if you ask me for my text. I give it you at the
clo-e of ruy address—" Ye are the 'alto( the earth; hot if the
salt hevelott his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is
iholcuforth good frr nothing, but to be cult nut, and to
