" DISCIPLESHIP."
It was the duty of all disciples and true believers in our
Lord Joao. Christ to becom, members idsoine C-trietisti
churth. It would be some•hat discouraging if teey were
obliged to admit that the church members of the differelit
denominations in the county of Dirset represented the
whole number of Christians in tie county. No doubt
then, was • fictiUous element amonget the members of
the Christian church, on the other hand there were some
tueuib- rs iii their congregations who would become mem-
bers, and their numbers wore very taucts greotor than
some would suppose. 11.1111 was it they had thole
people outside? Tbs reply suggested by experienoe was
worthy of coasiderstioe. 8 me of th.se were rather
timid, sensitive. and even shrank from speaking to the
pastor about admission t' the church, and shrank still
mote from some of thorn arrangements adopt id by some
of those churches. Ile referred to the custom of
givlng
the right hand of fellowship in the presence of the whole
church, or the writing of a letter to tbe whole church, or
meeting a deputation of deacons or some members of the
church. To such timid persons he wou:d co, let tht m do
their duty to Christ, seek an interview with their pastor
and ttll him how they felt about there difficulties, and
the way would become plain wh, n they tried to walk in
it. Ile would ask the pastors and deacons if their laws
were not too rigidly entorcvl, amid something else which
their church required. Thera was another class of
disciples who thought Corisiiin fellowship was not
necessary to help Constian life. They looks I at Christian
fellowship from one side only, sod be thought the wrong
side. Tiny thought if they attended the services and
supported the plans of worship there was no need for
association with all claims in the church. Now they
must admit that it was possible for persons
to he disciples without being associated with the
church, but they were not healthy Christians. Such
disciples failed in their duty to Christ. Tears were
two or three kinds of duty to which he wished to call
their attention. There were some who would lay all the
duties on the shoulders of the pastor and other officials of
the Church. and were perfectly satisfied U they attended ,
the House of God once in the week and paid their pew '
rent. But it was all want of thought, and it was not the
duty of any llbristum so to do. It was also the duty of
members to aim at unanimity, oneness of mind; and be
was bound to say as Congregationalists they only differed
on those points which were of small and minor import-
ance. Co-operation was likewise an important duty,
and was one of the problems to be solved by large
Christian communities; it was a difficult problem. which
required self-denial and self-sacrifice. At Um recent
general election they had an example of this 00-operation
given them. The million and a half ef electors of this
country were united in purpose and united th action too.
The small sections of the Liberal platy united for oue
purpose, which they ktpt in view, and hence the result,
the practical 'mutt. Au 4it was also their duty to rim vs
all Impediments to absolute religions freedom and
equality. The number of earnest workers woo small
in proportion to the number in Ceurch fellowship ; and
in this respect there was a great contrast between them-
selves and their Methodist brethren. In the Methooiat
denomination there were 3AO pastors, while the number
of lay Preachers was 35.000, which ems more than nine
lay preachers to one Li/luster. That of coons meant
something more—it meant a greater number itf members
taking pert in the prayer meetings, which be hoped the
members of the Christian Church would more largely
avail themselves of. While some of this respaisibility
fell on the church members, still a part of it lay with
those who had the managemeot of charch affairs. The
weekly evening meetings were far too often • service by
the pastor instead of • prayer meeting; and the Sunday
school, an institution for the training of teachers to ex-
press their thoughts. In short, there was* strong tent
dency to rely upon oue man, the minister, instead of the
manifold ministry under one pastor. Auother aspect of
their duty as members was, they had the elements of
progress and amuse in their constitution. It was the
duty of the minority in the church to co- tperate as grace-

wanted a greater 014111i11081 in the churches, and if that

benefit of this world and that which was to some.
Bev. B. GALT, secretary to the association, said it was
now seven years sine* they last mumbled at Pule, and
since that time their work had greatly extended, and the
Influence of the emaciation was more felt. The oontrihu.
tions he was glad to say had increased 50 per cent, and by
their amalgamation with the Church Aid Society they
had been permitted to do • great deal more than they
otherwise would have been able to do under the old
Home Missionary Society. The Church Aid Society had
ben formed in troublesome times, when the public
ind was continually upon the threats of wars and rumours
of ware and with stagnation of trade. But the times
were again quiet, they were coming again to political
justice and righteousnees—(applause)—and reviving trade
and increasing commercial prosperity. The handsome
collections made at Poole seven years ago gave him an
impetus to Work to increase the funds of the associations
and the result had been in every way satisfactory. He
hoped the contributions on this occasion would be us large.
The meeting WU brought to • close by the singing of
the doxology.
On Wednesday morning • prayer meeting was held in
the vestry of the chapel, after which at half-put Dime
o'clock the various delegates met for the transaction of
church business, which was oi no great importance. The
following is an extract of their report:—" It is the pleasing '
duty of the committee to say in the report that their hopes
(expreased in • previous report) have notbeen disappoint. I.
It was not • large increase that was anticipated; but it
has been realised. The income this year from subscriptiens
and collections, exclusive of special donations, is tin,
£2O more than teat year and £6O more than seven years
ago. AA compared with the lost period the increase is
more than 50 per cent., the amount reported in 1800-70
being only .Cll2. Some of those counties to which the
weaker churches throughout the country were encouraged
to I oh for help have wit yet come forward as it WS4
hoped they would ; and in one instusos help hae
been sought from the society instead of assistance
being rendered to its central fond. It is still,
however, believed, that this is but • temporary difficulty'.
The committee considered that attention has been fairly
directed to the two branches of work. "The report con-
cluded with • summary of the attendance at past
worship, number of church membere, the Sunday School
work, and the fin .ncial condition of the various aided
stations. Much had been done more than any summery
could show, and for all success and progress they desired
to say_—' Net unto U.,. 0 ",rd; not unto us; but unto
N Thy ame give glory.'
At two o'clock luncheon was provided in the British
schoolroom adjoining the chapel, when about 900 rat
down to • splendid cold collation, provided by the ladies
of the congregation. Mr. M. Kemp-Welch, J.P., occupied
the chair, and "The health of the Queen" was loyally
received.
The thrailutur gave the visitors Present • hearty
welcome He could not help °entreating the meetings of
to-day with thou years ago, when transit from one plus
to another was not so easy as it was now.
Rev. B. GUT, on behalf of the ministers and delegates,
thanked them for the kind Way they had been entertained.
Their good friends had modestly called their repast •
luncheon, but he we,sure it might very well have gone
under the more substantial • lotion of dinner. The
floral decorations and the tables were besutiful, and the
motto on the walls, "Success to our association," testified
to the esteem in which they held it, and he hoped that
sympathy would be extended towards their work and
larger contributions to their funds.
Rev. E. EVANS expressed the very great pleasure the
Congregational Church in Poole had had in entertaining
the Dorset Association of Ocagruational Churches to
the friends who had taken an active part in making the
arrangements for their coming, acid it had been a matter
of sincere pleasure to them to look forward to that visit
of the emaciation and prepare for their entertainment.
The matter was placed in the hands of the ladies, and the
result they saw. He was thankful that to early in his
ministerial connection with Poole the Dorset Association
favoured them with • visit. He hoped by the blessing of
God as years rolled by they would find him there ; and
not only that, but he hoped they would find them all as
ready to reeeive them and to help forward the work
that association was carrying on. Of course it was known
to most of them that be WU gaite a new comer. though
the friends of the cherub had recognised him in many

like four or five months, and there had been no suspicion,
no unkind word or look, everything seemed to conspire to
urge them forward, and to promise inrzeasing good. He
had found the ministers of the county ready to extend the
right hand of fellowship sad express good wishes for his
