FASZWILL OP THI Rev. C. RAOCLIPFL —The rev.
gentlemen who has officiated at Christchurch as
Perpetual curate, but has recently received a living in
the cut of England, as previously noticed, bale fare-
well to his congregation at Christchurch on Sunday
last Mr. Radcliffe took the whole al the services,
and in the morning preached from 11. Them iii, it—
" The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all."
He pointed out the grace of our Lord Jesus was many
times the subject of the Apostle Paul, showing
how important it was for us all. He also thanked the
congreeation for the attention with which they had
listened to him and their kindness, and expressed his
sorrow at leaving, more especially as he could not tell
them who was to supply his place. He hoped they
would remain faithful t each other and the church,
for nothing was so disheartening to a fresh minister as
to come and find hi* congregation scattered.—ln the
evening Mr. Heidi& preached from 11. Corinthians,
v., I 0—" For we must all appear before the judgment
seat of Christ: that everyone may receive the things
done in the body, according to that he bath done.
whether it be good or bad.' Mr. Radcliffe spoke of
all being judged, and the judge being Christ Himself,
and remarked how terrible it was that people's sins
would remain with them for ever if they died in them.
Every one must stand alone at that hose, and there
sinners mud meet Christ Himself as the judge—Us
repeated his regret at not being able to tell them who
was even temporarily to take charge of the chureh, the
matter Icing in an unsettled state. As he was unable
to call on them all, he should be very pleased to bid
farewell to any who would like to remain. The rev.
gentleman at the close stood in the vestry, shook hands
with those who pseud, and thus was broken the link
between another Church of England congregation and
Its pastor, within a very short time, in this town.
THE Muumuu, Etdeokos attracts but little interest
this year, there being ro contest in the Weymonth
Ward, and only for one seat in the Meloombe Regis
Ward. The nominations were: Weymouth—Mr.
Ayles (C), by Mr. William Symonds and Mr. John
Groves; Mr. Wallis (L), by Mr Charles Beale and
Mr. C. W. Lovell, Melcombe Regis Ward—Me W.
T. Aylesbury be Messrs. Henry Watkins and Charles
Clark; Mr. A. Dennis by Melina John Lundie and
T. R. Charles' Mr. Andrew Graham by Messrs.
Reginald P. Simpson and James Robertson; Mr.
Henry Naugle by Miasma T. B. Groves and James
RoNerteon ; Mr. Webb by Messrs. J. Landis and 'l'.
R Charles. Mr. Graham was first in the field, and his
addrees appears in our advertising columns. Mr.
Graham promises to give earnest attention to all
matters tending to promote the prosperity of the town,
and the welfare of us all; but to do all in his power to
prevent unnecessary expenditure. He has been in the
Council three years, and allows himself to be nomina-
ted at the reque4 nf a large number of fellow towns-
men. Mr. Graham's nominators show that he will
hays the support of the Conservatives. We are next
favoured with the addresses of Mr. Dennis and Mr.
Webb. The former points to' the fa t that for six
pars he has advocated the adoption of measures
likely to promote the interests of this fashionable
watering place, and brought an impartial judgment to
discussion of questions effecting the Port, with a view
to increase the prosperity of the town. Mr. Dennishas
been beyond doubt careful and yetbold in the rumness
advocated. end him public merry has been oonspicuous,
being frankly used on the side he considered to hold
the right, the courage of his conviction" he has always
shown, and, drones ranch occupied in his own busi-
ness, he has ever found time to spare for the service of
the town.—Mr. Webb's services have been continued
for many years, so that be may be looked on a* almost
an indispensable part of the Council, and when be
promises to "continue his beet "odes...cos to promote
• consistent economy of the public fund," we feel that
Mr. Webb will only be holding the same course he has
held all along, and of which proofs have been given
even down to a late data.
CHRISTCHURCH Ramer Tnurteorvtgo.—Thnoday
evening last was rather an unfortunate selection for
the thanksgiving service, for the weather wag stormy,
ani the congregation small. The friends bad made •
beginning by way of decoration, having adorned the
oulpitand readirg desk with Ivy and red berries, and fill•
ing the panels with flowers, eversreeen, and corn, while
a cross of gerannims, wheat and barley, was on the front
panel, and there were flowers and apples, ivy and
berries, around the base. 'Pb, other part of the
decorgions was also effected by ivy leaves, flowers,
wheat, and barley, but indeed of apples, here were
pears, and so far as the decor drone went, they made a
considerable improvement in appearance. The Rev. C.
R. Ratcliffe conducted the whole service, preaching
from Ephesiana v., 20, " Giving thanks always for all
things unto God and the Father in the name
of Our Lord Jesus Client." He said—To give thanks
sometimes WM easy enough—when the oil increased,
when there was an abundant harvest and the dorm
were filled, when the fruit blossomed in the vine, when
in the enjoyment of health and strength, who would

boy who, having eaten a very scanty meal, said after

giving thanks. That was very evident from the text.
for it was giving thanks always, and they could not be
always "ironic with lips, months, and velem. Perhaps
the most beautiful form of giving thanks was by the
actions of their every de, life, to be always /riving
