Smith gave a remarkable display of artistic music in his
pianoforte solo on Irish airs (" Killarney"). Whether as
mummer or performer of this pleasing work Mr. Borten
Smith shows that he is an artist of unusual talent and
skill, and he was persistently encored. Ile replied with
I I eller's " Dans les Bois," and again reed i ved much applause.
Mrs. Burnard then sang one of the gems of the coucert ;
it was only Gabriel's smig "When sp trrows build ; " but
the lady has such a rich contralto voice, and threw into it
such intense feeling that she enchanted all. Excellent as
had been the instrumental performances, this one song
glowed how a singer with good voice and who will throw
her heart into singing can charm an audience far more
than the most elaborately concerted and most beautifully
played instrumental pieces. There was a soft touching
wail in Mrs. Burnard's rendering that awoke not merely
sensuous pleasure but the feeling of the soul, and perhaps
this was heightened by the song being. given within sight
awl sound of the moving sea. Toe songstress was
passionately encored, anal when she repeated again she
threw intense expression int. especially the line " When
the sea gives up her dead," and again she received im-
mense applause. The next piece was by Mr. A. Z. Palmer
awl Mr. Boyton Smith, a duo concertante by M. M. de
Beriot "Opera sans paroles," a very artistic and chorus-
ing performance, showing the talent of each musician in
a marked degree. Rev. IK. Brackenbury next gave

found it the earliest. But they also knew his value as a
preacher and pastor, and a pastor of the youngest among
them —fapplause). Ile returned thanks to Mr. Humphreys,

that was good, and that it would lie an illustration of the
text " Behold how earl anal pleasant it is for brethren

Mr. J. W. suLur supported what Mr. liumpreys had
said. fie was glal to hear from Mr. Lundie the good
report concerning the stato of the Baptist church here, anal
as Baptists they rejoiced with them. Mr. Lumina had
referred to the fact that this was probably the last time he

of the Baptist denomination here that they were on good

Rev. W. Lewis (tadependent) and the IZev. S. Bestall

The Rev. W. LEWIS responded. He said that when a
man was perfectly honest, straightforward, and true, he
was apt to be irritable, sometimes. He believed the
Baptist church was happy in its relations, and that Mr.
Bailey was happy in his relations with it, and he hope.l it
would long continue. As to evangelistic efforts, he believed
that God more abundantly prospers such efforts when
Christians put aside their distinctive .lilfereSOOO as

draw near to God, we can yet through Him approach

us, receive the things for which we petition Him.
Christ is • plain, an open way, always open, not
like the Santa l'orta at St. Peter's open now and
then; but always waiting to receive the prodigal. A poor
woman had a daughter who had fallen into sin and misery;
but after years that daughter came back in the night to
her mother's house, found the door unfastened, and came
in. She asked her mother why the door was not fastened,
and the poor woman rejoicing at her daughter's return,
told her the door had not been fastened once since she
went away, lest sometime she should come back, find the
door shut, and go back to her vileness and wretchedness.
Christ is like that mother's door. Meters open to receive
the repentant sinner. "I am the truth, Christ could say,
because in all Ile was the manifestation, the declaration,
the disclosure of God. The awakened heart says " I must

Tenuysou says—
" Our little systems have their day,
They have their day and cease to 1w;
They are but Wykemi lights from Thee,
For Thou, 0 tonl, art more than they."
Christ said also "I am the life." As the first clause is ex-
plained by the atonement and the intercession, and the
second by the incarnation, so the third is explained by the
doctrine of the fact of the union of Christ with Ilia people.
This is dtseribel by Paul as like the union of the head
with the members, and by Christ Minuet( as like the union
,if the root with the branches. Let US learn that our life
as Ctuistian men is Christ's life and not ours, and, there-
fore, spool it not in self .gratification but to Ilia glory. This

us at death, but the eternal life of the future world is

words "No man cometh unto the Father but by Me."
We must accept these words in all thier fulness as

WESTERN ASSOCIATION (BAPTIST).
The annual meetings of the Western Association of
lkiptist Churches have been held in Weymouth this week.
The pastors of the several churches are present with
delegates and friends, and they are accommo-
dated by the kindness of the leading members
of the Baptist congregation and their friends at their
houses. There we know they will be welcomed, and the
weather being tine, we hope they will be able to report •
pleasant and profitable half-week. Most of them arrived
on Monday, and at 3 p.m. the business commenced with a
committee meeting. The following are the names of the
visitors :—Borough Bridge—Rev. Thomas Baker, Mr. Jas.

On Monday evening there was a large congregation to hear
a sermon by the Rev. John Tetley, of Taunton.
The rev, gentleman preached from Philippians iii. le—
" That I may know . . . . the fellowship of
sufferings." The subject of the discourse was on
" Sharing the sufferings and glory of Christ." Ile showed,
lot, there is a sense in which every Christian knows the
fellowship of the Saviour's Crucifixion. The Apsitle Paul
aays, speaking of the whole body of sin "Our old man is
crucifies! with Him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed." The death—the crucifixion—of Christ is the
great moral anti spiritual force by which alone our evil
nature can he subdued and slain. It is also • striking
symbol of the subjugation and gradual extinction of our
old nature being violent, painful, and protracted. 2nd
There is a sense in which every Christian knows the
fellowship of the Saviour's Passion—that mysterious and
, fathomless swinish of soul which Our Lord endured when
' on earth. The agony of holiness in contact with sin, the
; suffering canoed His love viewing the woes of humanity.
!fri —Every true Christian shares the sufferings of his
; I Saviour's persecutions. We must
Stand like an anvil, when the sound
Of ponderous hammers pains the car:

lth—livery true Christian shares the sufferings of Christ
by resignedly bearing the ordinary afflictions and troubles
a life. The glorious result is the Christian sharing the
glory of the Lord.
On Tuesday the services commenced with • prayer
meeting at seven o'clock in the morning, when there was
a large attendance. The Rev. J. 11. Balmy read several
texts on prayer, and gave a pointed aildreem on the duty
and privilege of prayer, and the special necessity of closet
prayer. About ten of the ministers and delegate. Prayed
within the hour, and tho whole doings were cheerful
and bright.
A meeting of ministers and messengers was held at half'

THE STONE Losiis.—On Wednesday morning a stone
truck loaded with about five tons of stone, and drawn by
Fanner White's team, came down the hill with both
wheels "shoed," and passed the Travellers Rest thus ; but
on taking the curve the load swayed about, and opposite
Mr. George Andrews's, at the top of Fortune's Well, it
capsized, breaking one of the shafts, and smashing Part 01

jacks, and taken on a skid to the railway station. It MY
a mercy that neither horse nor man was killed ; but Mr.
Andrews bad it thus brought close home to him how great
is the danger arising from allowing these great los& to
traverse the public highway. The Portland Merchants'
(Stone) Railway ought to be the road over which these are
conveyed, for we hear that every time the loads go down
they cause the houses in Fortune's Well to tremble, and
will eventually bring some of them down. A funny
instance of this was mentioned, where a house had been

another house. The builder would not pay for joining on

first meeting after the Evangelistic work had lean coin-

labours, and Mr. Miles of Crewkerne. Mr. Davis in his
first report all he could not get access into many of the

he received : but now there was scarcely a door that would
be shut against Ithii. Ile acknowledged the goodness of
God in onitinuing their brethren in health and strength,
although the past winter had been very severe, and the
evangelist; had been much capered, having had an unusual
amount of visiting the sick, who if these evangelists were
not placed in these country district', would be left with-
out the word of eternal life, Mr. Davis mentioned many
instances in which bin visite to the sick room had been
greatly blesseth They had visited also from house to
house, which is one at the most important parts of the
work, and he hoped they would not be tempted to neglect
that for other claims. Mr. Davis has six villages, in
which he holds public services assisted by Dorchester and
Weymouth friends. Ile hail been instrumental in build-
ing chapels at Bradford Peverell and Winterborne Abbae,
and now is trying to erect one at Puddletrenthide, where
there ix a population of about I,Vel, very inadequately pro-

six villages where meetings are hell. In Ilisterton a
larger room has been secured; but numbers are obliged to
go away for want of room ; at Dlostertan also, many have

should thank God for the encouragement awl blessing
bestowed. Mr. Davis hail paid 1,700 visits had distributed

The Rev. G. Ilionit, St .-hi-weber, read a paper on
•• Ole ore x wing convert..." Mr. iims, ionsiderwl
the increasing devotion of children and young people as
one of the most hopeful signs of the times Like the
Sibyl's Issas, if the earlier yews were not secured for
Christ, the second portion of human life is almwt sure to
be burned up in the Names of worldliness and then there
would be nothing left but the shreds of life, like the last
three books. How important it is to have young converts.
And that little boy uttered a remark of sound philosophy
when he said "I like Runyan's Christiana far better than
his Christian, because Chnstian went to heaven alone, but
Christiana took the children with him. It is most
important for the church to show motherly care and
re.gard for the children. Ow Lord took little children in
His arms, and instruetwl his disciples to feed the lambs,
and in addition the apostle Paul said " Min that is weak
in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations."
Children are essentially weak, awl it requires practical
wisdom to deal with their inanifwtations, which may
sometimes seem to show evidences of fatal error. Young
converts are of ten liable to be unstable ; but since Peter
time, bow many an unstable disciple has been transformed
into an unthinking martyr. If the weakness be scepticism,
this should In 'net by a studious avoidance of vituperation.
Who could have scolded Job when he cried "Oh ! that I
knew where I could find hint r Who could have sneered
at Mary, when, blinded with tears, she cried "If thou
have borne him hence, tell me where thou host laid Him."
The Saviour met the scepticism of Thomas by more
evidence, as if he would saz "Take any evidence ; only he
not faithless but believing. And whatever we do for the
weak disciples, according to His own promises, we do for
Christ Himself. As to the strong, they aornetitues have
their Moments of weakness, like Luther, and, lest we
should think that misplaced contidenee should dishonour
the Master, He admitted among His disciples even Judas
Iscariot A young student had just preachwl, for the first
time, and was asked how he had got on, when he replied
" I hope I did not disgrare may Master." But the lady
who asked hint said "0l1! you need not be anxious about
that: take care you don't dishonour yourself." Referring
to the Cases of Saul afterwards called PAW, and C. R.
Spurgeon, the lecturer said these young giants need care
lust their very strength become a source of weakness.
Self-seeking ambition will turn a tower of strength into
a ruinous heap. The old nations had this principle—
that the weak were created for the benefit of the strong;
but the principle enunciated by Paul Was "We that are
strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not
to please ourselves." Self-preservation is indeed required;
but self-sacrillee will be found the truest aelf-preservation,
ant instead of lecturing the young on their deficiencies,
we should net them a worthy example. Young converts
must follow its up to that point when they become
stronger and wiser than we. How shall we obtain the
needful strength (hid is our refuge and strength. When
Mimes needed strength, he pitched the tabernacle afar off
from the camp, and the pitiful Father comforted his child
by sa.ying "My presence shall go with thee, awl give thee
rest.. The presence of God is with us through all the ages,
not only amid the golden lamp-stands of the sanctuary;
Cut amid ruined empires, from mission stations, in
l:hristian holm., teaching us everywhere that Jesus Christ
is Lord of all After .1 welling on the value of the example
and presence of Christ, he said it was by that we should
learn the means of dealing with young converts, and should
acknowledge—
!' The gentleness bath nude me great."
The. Rev. Mr. Him), of Chard, said they hail in his
church a number of young converts who had been
brought up in connection with the factories, and they
could not expect the same manifestations of spiritual
culture from them, as from their children brought up at
home under religious influences. But they hail just as
teuch love for Christ as others, and he urged older
I .hristians not to look a ith scepticism on such professions.
We are living in the days of Moody and Sankey, of Mr.
and Mrs. Pearsall Smith, and we must be prepared for new
things, prepared to work for the Lord In his own way.
The Rev. Mr. YOLNG said there should lie very great
care in the intrwinetion of young persons into the church
(now that new, and questionable, and unexpected opera-
tions are in action) that they should be really converts,
and then that they should be carefully looked after.
Mr. WIIITIIV. of Bri•Mwater, said in his neighbourhood
the recent conversions hail been the work of previous
labour by teachers in the Sabbath school. He thought the
new operations spoken of should not he called " question-
able "-but re 'Weed in.
Tho Rev. J. Tertnv, of Taunton, noticed that nothing
was sail about any organisation for taking care of young
converts. Ile urged great rare in the conduct and example
of older Christians, and some special organisation should
be formed. Senior teachers should regard their scholars
as their care, and try to he pastors to them. A catechism
class or experience meeting should be formed for them for
the first twelvenionths after they became members of the
church.
. . . . . .

The Rev. J. 1111/KR, in reply, said he had meant by Bible
classes all such means as might be used for training and
bringing on young converts.
Itev. G. W. 111.7111`11RETS (Wellington) introduced the
subject of "Evangelistic Work," with suggestions for
such work by all Cluistians. Evangelistic work was like
that of Andrew, who found his own brother Simon, toll
bins '' We have found the Messiah, which is called Christ,"
and he brought him to Jesus. We must tied Christ, tell
of Hint, and bring others to Him. Those who are qualified
to engage in it are believers; they moot speak of Christ,
Mid not only KO, iuust use all possible means to bring
others to Jesus. F.very Christian ought to be an evan-
gelist, a witness for Jesus. Are we all living, acting
witnesses for Christ I Our churches ought also to recog-
nise it as part of their obligation. Let us spread, make
known, the knowledge of Christ. Many members would
be better etuployeil in the evening if, instead of listening
to the unient, they were to go out and preach to others.
Evangelistic work is the highest honour conferred by
Christ ; but it must be the work of believers onli• In
proportion to the strength of our life in Christ will be the
power with which we witneu to others. We must have
intense sympathy with our sinful fellow-creatures, deep
tenderness of heart, and such compassion as there was in
Christ; we must remember what we ourselves have felt
and done, and must have a full and clear knowledge of
the way 14 salvation, to have a dear, full, scriptural con-
ception of the way God saves guilty men. Further, we
want a tender pliable method of addressing people of
different temperaments and circumstances. A dining-
room service hail been established near Wellington for
factory hands, and speaking there had gut him out of
stiffness, and done him much good.
Rev. Ur. BAKIIR said the principal element they
required was love, not to sit in the corner away from
people. they must tell of. and show forth, the love of
Christ.
Key. Mr. maniv, of Montacute, feared the church of
Christ had broken down the distinction between the
church and the world by teaching the people in the public
services k, ginj nick hymns as "There have I. though
vile as he, wed all my sins away." They ought not to
sing such hymns When they had not washed their sins

THE DUST NUISANt'E: PUBLIC MEETING.
For several weeks past the dust nuisance has been so
intolerable that shopkeepers, residents, and visitors have
all been raising their voices against it, awl 011 Monday
evening a Wetting if the inhabitants of Fortune's Well
was held tO consider what plan should be adopted to put
an end to the nuisance. The ifleeting was bell at the
Royal Hotel cotfee-room, when Captain Scriven was
unanitnously voted to the chair. The billowing ge4tlettien
were present: %intern Hain& Mr. Itite.ell, Mr. White,
Mr. Zillwoud Milledge, Mr. Frank Will., Dr. McLean,
Mr. Bristow. Mr. Warren, Mr. Ratcliffe, Mr. Prentice, Mr.
Major, Mr. J. Wallis, Mr. Kendall, Mr. Case, Mr. Patten,
Mr. C. Gibbs, Mr. Hatton, Mr. Flew, Mr. Jas. Andrews,
Mr. Royal, Mr. J. Wildman, Mr. Ostrom, Mr. R. A. Way,
Mr. G. F. Parsons, Mr. E. Briatow, &r.
The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings, by reading the
notice convening the meeting, which was as follows :
You are most respectfully requested to attend a meeting
of the itihsbitawts of Fortune's Well, which will be held on
Monday evening nest, the 7th instant, at the Moat Hotel
Assembly Room, at eight o'clock : to take into consideration
Ute best means to adopt for abating the • Dust Nuisance' now
existing In this district."
Captain SCRITEN proposed that Mr. Zillwood Milledge
should act as secretary, which was carried nem. coil.
The CHAIRMAN said that there wad really no occasion
for him to tell the meeting that the dust nuisance exist
for they had all seen it for themselves, and he considered
it was their duty to adopt some plan to remedy it. In
Fortune's Well they paid heavy rates—more than any
other part of the Island, and yet they had nothing for it'
he thought that • good petition to the Local Board would
be of sense help.
Mr. Itussitu. said 12 or 13 years ago they hasl a meeting
relative to the same subject.
Captain lIAINS suggested that a letter be written to the
Local Board asking them to use the water-cart belonging
to the Board, and that such letter be signed by the Chair-
man on behalf of the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN asked if it would not be better for •
petition to be got up signed by every person present.
A GENTLEMAN stated that if the letter were sent to the
Board, a meeting of the members would have to be called
to consider the subject.
The Seceirreer (Kr. Milledge) said the Board could call
a mooting in three days.
The CHAIRMAN thought that if five inhabitants signed •
requisition to the Board, the Board would be compelled
to call a meeting.
Mr. V. Wikut considered it would be better to form a
committee to go from house to house for signatures.
Dr. NcLita• said it was the duty of the Local Board to
keep the streets in ocher, and was not the removal of the
dust a part of that duty
The CHAIRMAN said that was a technical question that
he should not like to answer; but two or three persons
present said it was undoubtedly the duty of the Board,
and
Captain Hams stated it was the duty of the Board to
bate all nuisances.
Mr. WILLS: There are other nuisances.
Two or three PERSONS (together): The dung nuisance—
that is never removed.
Mr. ZILLWOOD MILLEIWE : Unless by the children who
go about collecting it for those who have garilens —Gough-
ter).
Mr. ANDREWS Said Sell%Cligerg did go round for the
porrese of removing the dirt.
Mr. ZILLWOOD MIIA.EDGE said the Board had a water-
ing-cart.
A GENTLEMAN: The one they have is of no use.
Anrefiga Plums : That's the fault of the persons who
bought it.
In reply to the Chairman. Mr. PATTEN said the cost of
watering Fortune's Well would be about .L 3 per week.
but not with the cart the Board had.
Mr. WILLS thought if the streets were watered three
times a week it would he sufficient.
Mr. Rusakt.f.: It should be three times a day !

Mr. fils.Jon : Certainly it should.
The SFA'RETART mil the district to he w atered WaS front
the foot of the hill to the railway station.
Mr. PATTEN: The watering will do the roads good; it
will greatly preserve them.
Mr. Mt:sm.:Li.: The salt water will hind them together.
The CllatKllaJi asked what should lie done if the Local
Board did not resolve to carry out their wishes.
,

Mr. ANDREWS and Captain ll.ii ..id they hould wait
for the deehoon of the Board.
The SEURET %fir: The requisition lo the Local Board to
call a meeting must be signed by live members of the
. .

Mr. Rm.:suf.: Are there not five member. present?
A GENTLEMAN: There are two or three who have been
turned out —(laughter).
ANOTMER GENTLEMAN : There are also two or three who
eNttect to be mends:m—(oyd laughter)—and one "suck-
ing member (pouting to Mr. Andrews).
Mr. : I cannot see why we should not be able
to force them to call a meeting to abate a nuisance.
A TMADFSMAN asked whether the present watering-cart
could not be made to answer the purpose required; upon
which a wag present statcd that the last time IL wan used
a man had to walk behind the cart and pick out the
boles with a pin, a remark that created roars of laughter.
Mr. Parrvc called the attention of the meeting to the
fart that immense blocks of stone are taken down the
road ; it VISAA only a few days since he had seen ore of
132 feet, which was actually in charge of only one man!
The (:M AIRMAN and others: Mort dangerous.
.• . .

-I;.;r7iTisaiil if anything had given out a mast
serious accident would have happened.
A letter W 0.4 then written to the Loral Board by the
bon. iwvetary, praying that the streets of Fortune's Well
might be daily watered, which was signed by the ('hair-
ion on behalf of the meeting, and the names of the
gentlemen pnssent were appended, for the purpose of
showing what an influential meeting had taken place.
Mr. Wifin suggested that a deputation from the meet-
ing should take tbe letter and wait for the reply, fur he
said if they had to wait a week for its coining, they might
be_smothereil in the meantime.

d—perhaps—the Board would take six
months to consider the matter --(laughter).
A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Secretary closed
the proceedings.
The nuiaance, which taw thus graded the inhabitants of
Fortune's Well into decided action, had become almost
intolerable of late. Great clouds blew down from the
Priory on the Verne roads, according to the wind, ILLIO the
Fortune's Well road added an immense lot more. These
clouds settled on grocery, drapery, butcher's meat, and
everything else,what had been edible became covered with
grit, and dry goods were spoilt with dust. Paint-work
was all of one hue. • light stone shade, and the eyes of the
good people of Portland were threatened with ophthalmic
complainta. The vexed inhabitants reckoned that they
could abate the nuisance for .C 2 or Cl a week, expended
in water-carriage. for • water•oart already belongs to the
&lent, as was known by its unauthorised excursion to the
mainland. 'The following was the letter sent to the chair-
man of the Local Board

Those who defend the Local Board for not attempting to
water the streets say that the 1/1:1in body of dust comes
from the rumils up the Bill, and some even from above,
and that materially to mitigate the nuisance, they tout
water as high up as the Prison, at an exPen., of gn or 1.7
a week. A plan hail been, however. suggested viz.. for
the Local Beant to take fresh water from &spring running
partly to waste. behind Mrs. kllen's house in Pertunel
I Well. By building a tank there, it is said the water
wasting might he stored, and would boo sufficient t • nate
the place through the summer. The action of fresh water
on roads i 4 not VeTT tasting: bat the question ix how to got
the salt water uphill at • moderate expense. The nuisance
' was greatly abated on Wednesday, by the shower of
ITuesday night, and this gives time for the inhabitants to
wait the action of the Local It hard.
