His LORDSHIP said he was desired by the head-master
'to present a prize to J. Lobley, who had successfully
passed through the Oxford examination recently held in
Liverpoel. (Applause.) His lordship in presenting to
one of the junior boys a copy of the Life7of Stephenson,
said the subject of the biography was one of the most
eXtraordinary men that had ever lived in the world.
Born in a most humble condition of life—none could be
more so--God had,blessed hint with very great gifts of
understanding, and a disposition to use those gifts with
vigour, and labour to improve them. 7By great
perseverance and indomitable energy, Stephenson raised
himself to the-, piunacle of fame. His training,
beset by almost inextricable .difficuitifs gave him a
wonderful habit of •self-reliance and s'elf-dependance
on the power of his own mind, in the particular pur-
suits to which he directed it. And here he would tell
his young friends that there were two kinds of self-
reliance and self-confidence. There were many men—
particularly young men—who had very little under-
standing, very little knowledge, but had an unlimited.
amount of self-confidence. They would listen .to no!
advice from others and thereby made themselves ridi-
culous and contemptible. But there was another kind
of honest!self-reliance, very different from that to which`
he had alluded, where men had good understanding,
solid knowledge, and knew what they. were doing, and
persevered in that ; although other men did not encou-
rage them, they would succeed in life. No one
encouraged George Stephenson. People said that
his railway schemes were 'ridiculous, and could'
never be carried into effect, but Stephenson
lived to see his. schemos carried out, and we had
lived to see the immence benefits that they had
conferred upon society. Such was the greatness of that
man of lowly birth, who raised himself by his perse-
verance in turning to account the gifts God had be
, stowed upon him. Let that be a solemn lesson to his
young friends. (Applause.)
The prizes having been distributed,
The Rev. J. S. HOWSON said, in' justice he was
bound to• sat that Mr. Cox, the master ,of the Middle
school, had been absent for a considerable time from
illness, but he was glad to say that he belleied Mr. Cox
would be with them after. the Christmas holidays.
(Loud cheers.) Of course there had been a great deal
of additional work thrown on other shoulders, and he
begged to express his extreme gratitude to all the
masters of the middle school, for the remarkl.7 cheer-
fulness and efficiency with which they had di: rilmted
amongst themselves, and discharged the dude, of the-
vacant office during the time of difficulty. ~Lotul
applause.) He believed nothing had been neglected,
and to Mr. Finlay in
debted. (Applause.)

His Worship the atPyharoer,:Tuub.rsperlo
loudly cheered on rising. He said; Ladies and gentle-
men, I have a double duty to perform to-day--the fist
is in my official capacity to thank his lordship for coming
twice to Liverpool in
rage, by his presence, two of the edueational estabijsh-
moats of the WWI, alla the Ilat is) as -911 e of the laieq

governors and directors of the institution, to-thank him
:-on behalf of my colleagues, and, for you and for myself
individually for his continued interest in thisinstitutiou+
and; for his kindness in presiding over us on-the present
occasion. (Applause.)
,It.gives me very great pleasure
to do both these duties, and also to be present on this ace'
sien. I believe I may say with truth that the institution
was never in so prosperous a condition as at preseuerr
and the governors and directors feel that they owe ill"
very much to the unwearied exertions of their able Pr:ls:
cipal and to the - other masters. (Applause:) A prize'
giving day at a- large 'school has always appeared t°
me one of !the most interesting scenes that can ha wit
nessed. Time passes so quickly that I can ahau"
fancy-it was yesterday that I took part'as one of you d°
in a prize-day- in a very large school. Some boys 171,11,0
have not got prizes may be a little envious at those lc°,
I have got a great many, and I scarcely wonder ht that
fact, but as the. Dean of Ely said the other morniugr
e all cannot be senior wranglers, and all cannot get prize;
but all can do their best, and all can do their dutY.',
Allow me to say, as one who did not carry his classic*
studies so far as I now wish I had done, arising from
peculiar circumstances=allow me, as such hn one, to sus
to those who doubt whether the study of the decd
languages. is of any benefit to those who do not car')
their classical studies very far, I speak from experience,
when I say that I have felt it a very great benefit ut"
only to understand my own language, but others, too'
As a commercial man, I would say I think it would be
of _very great advantage to many young men abort to
enter upon a commercial or trading, and not upon
a professional life, if they remained at school s
year. or tsVolonger. It would not, tam sure, interfel
with their advancement in commercial, pursuits, and *
believe it would be a very great benefit to them in after-
life—an opinion which, I believe, is shared with me 11
the principal and other masters of this institution. 1.
have very great pleasure in moving the best thanks °f
this meeting to his lordship for coming down and Pre'
siding over us on the present occasion. (Loud cheers.),
The Rev. Dr. M‘Neree was received with enthusiastic
' i
cheering. After alluding- to the hearty cheers of t 5;
boys he said that he had been requested to state that
the Rev. ReCtor Campbell very much regretted hl'
inability to attend on account of the severit!
of the weather. The rev. doctor proceeded to
say—And now, my young friends, I lost;
very great pleasure in, inviting you again
express your cordial thanks to .the Bishop for his kir''•;.,"
ness in so frequently coming among you, and now ag'ir
-on this !occasion. (Applause.) And I must say tfr
myself that on no former occasion have I ever hear,'",
even from his lordship, anything which I feel so high"
deserving of gratitude from my own heart as a'fatioir'
as .whatl heard from his lordship this morning. 1
entreat you my young friends,. and my Christian trio',
who are here and who are parents—l do affectionatc',,
and earnestly entreat -you to bear in mind what his lot;
ship said about domestic education. And let
entreat you, dear boys, to give kind attention, willioc
attention to the efforts made at home to train :i ,
minds in the •knowledge, and love, and fear of u
You hear on every side that without religion the he`.
-education, will fail of attaining the best objects in view,;
and you have heard to-,day, from the highest half
authority now athongst us, or that you are ever lik,:
to hear it from, that the place to commence such educ";
tion is at.home. (Hear, hear.) My lord, I hope 5:0
will bear with me 'whilst, for the, edification of 04,
children, I read a_passage I met with a day or two 30
in an address, from a clergyman in the diocese of gel ,
ford. He had been visiting the north of Irelan,e"
short time apes, and aubsequently--addressed a 13.'e
meeting at "Newport, in Monmouthshire, in which te
told what he saw concerning a school that
visited in Ireland, in a town that I am very well
quainted with myself. He said :—" One Saturday 0';
ing, as I was going by the Presbyterian Church, I er
the door open; and. I looked'in.'- Inside I saw an inn a
door, and I heard from within the voices of little child)
praying. I listened and heard words like these: their
God, have mercy on these poor boys, so sorry for tlii,alt
sins. 0 God, comfort these boys, so unhappy '•
down'thy hand, 0 God, and lift them up, and 11°
.I.;
them what Jesus-has done for-them.' I opened the
di dfea
there were six boys inside, three kneeling with ta
1 backs towards me, and three others standing by,t"ibe
praying. I said to them,- ‘--My dear boys, what is
ea
matter ? " 0 sir,' said one of them, o
three u
vho are kneeling are so-anxious about their soulser'oe
we are praying for them.' I said very s'eiously,
yeti found comfort, my dear boys ?! Yes, sir, we t"
„se
. have been very anxious about our souls too, but we tree
now found peace through Jesus; and we want these t
others to be as happy as we are ; - so we had lealiae
come here and pray as soon as schOol Was over.'
three when. the school was dismissed, and it was 00' a
half-past four. There, on a fine summer's aftern
had these little boys been an hour and a half in er3),,,,s
and reading the Word of God. Where else would
find three boys kneeling down and praying for o°,o
selves, and three Others so anxious about thentit
ig
to stay with them and pray for them also ?" iiegase
a strange scene indeed a blesSed -scene. (th
hear.) Let me add- to this a fact that has reee.hot

of this kind; " 0 Lord, help me in writing: my

the Greek verbs ;" "0 Lord, help -me to keePirste
