ORDINATION AT CHESTER.

On Sunday last, the Lord Bishop of Chester held an
ordination in the Cathedral, when about fifty gentlemen
were admitted to holy orders.
After the service, the Rev. Canon Stowell delivered the
ordination sermon, being the reverend gentleman's first
sermon in the Cathedral since his appointment. He took
for his text on the occasion a part of the 3d verse of the
Gth Nehemiah—" lam doing a great work." Ile dwelt
chiefly on the call there exists for zaal arid singleness of
purpose in building up the church, the spiritual temple,
remarking, with considerable power, on the greatness of
the work—the treasure committed to them as stewards of
the unsearchable riches of Christ—the variety of evidence
brought to bear with power on all the prophecies—the
greatness of the interest suspended—the glory of God—
the suit*, rings of Christ—the responsibility being further
manifested by the valae of souls. The ministers of Christ
could not go alone the salvation of souls was more or
less involved in their work. The dignity of their office
was high, but their responsibility was equally great.
Some dwelt much on the former ; let it be theirs to ex-
patiate on the latter. No enthusiasm was too great here.
With what di!igence, patience, and untiring assiduity
should the minister of Christ be in his closet engaged in
deep self-examination and earnest prayer for his people;
in his study digesting the word, and comparing spiritual
things with spiritual ; in his family circle, by his
cheerful piety giving the pattern to the couecl► ; in
the daily round of pastoral visiting, encouraging the
timid, supporting the weak ; in the sanctuary, leading
the devotions of the congregation ; in the pulpit, with
simplicity, sincerity, and boldness, declaring the whole
counsel of God, not descending into the petty trifles of
this world's occupations. If the work were so great,
then with what self-distrust and self-abasement should a
true herald of the cross say, " I am nothing, Christ is
all ;" not hirasetffilling the eye of vision, but, as a finger-
post, pointing to Christ as the only way. If the dignity
were so high, and the responsibility so great, then with
what dependance on God should the work be performed.
In the sacrifices under the law the soaring eagle or the
towering lion were not demanded, but the dove, the lamb,
and the kid. The stone of the ruddy youth, the rod of
the meek Moses, the rams' horns, the broken pitchers,
were mighty as instruments in the hands of God for the
performance of his work. Ile concluded by a very touch-
ing appeal to the sympathies of their lay brethren; they
were men of like passions, and so needed that sympathy
for their strengthening and encouragement in their work
of faith and labour of love.

On Wednesday evening the Rev. Hugh MlNeile
preached in St. Peter's church, Chester, for the Pastoral-
Aid Society. The Lord Bishop attended the service, and
at his Lordship's request, the candidates for ordination
were also present, when the reverend gentleman, in the
course of his sermon, addressed them on the privileges
and responsibilities connected with the holy office on
which they were entering.

At the Health of Towns meeting, on Friday last, Mr.
Rathbone did the STANDARD a slight injustice—no doubt
unintentionally. He stated that until the publication of
Dr. Duncan's pamphlet, two or three years since, the
attention of the public had not been pointedly called to
the unhealthy condition of Liverpool, and the means for
Its amelioration. The truth is, that the subject was long
previously prominently I raught before the public in a
series of admirable letters, giving a mass of statistical
Information, and published in the LIVERPOOL STANDARD
under the signature of " ..ifedicus Achates." It is only
fair to add, that the author of them was Dr. Harbord.
