THE JUBILEE OF THE CHURCH MISSIONARY

SOCIETY.

Active measures have been already taken throughout the
country for the due observance of this occasion. It ill
pleasing to know that the commemoration, which hes,
been announced for the Ist of November (to-morrow) low
the days immediately preceding and following that date,
has received the warm approval and co-operation of many
of the heads of the church. On the Ist of Nov, the
Archbishop of Canterbury has consented to preach at tbe,
Church of St. Ann, Blackfriars, London, where the annual
sermons were delivered for the first seventeen years after
the society was established ; the Bishop of London wil`
preach on the same day at St. George's, Bloomsbury ; the
Bishop of Oxford in Oxford Cathedral ; the Bishop to
Winchester in 'Winchester Cathedral ; the Bishop of Here'
ford in Hereford ; and the Bishop of Lincoln takes the
chair in Lincoln on the 2nd of Nov., at a Jubilee meeting.
The Archbishop of York will preach at York, and preside
at a Jubilee meeting. The Bishop of Chester will Preach el
the Cathedral on the Ist November, and will preside at
meeting on the same evening. The Bishop of Lichfield
preaches in Lichfield ; and the Bishop of Ripon, in Ripon
Cathedral, on the Ist Nov. ; the Bishop of Durban
preaches in Durham, and presides at the Jubilee meeting'
to be held in that place, on the Ist of November.
In this town we are glad to find that becoming efforts
have been made to celebrate the Jubilee with proper.
solemnity and effect. To-morrow morning the Sacrament
of the Lord's Supper will be administered, and on Thurs-
day evening sermons will be preached in most of the
churches of the town ; and on Monday evening next ih°
Lord Bishop of the diocese will preside at a public meeting
in the Collegiate Institution, when, no doubt, a late
assembly will be present, to show their unceasing attacu-
mentto the Church Missionary Society, which was educated,
by such men as Venn, Scott, and Pratt. It was endow!,
by such men as Wilberforce, Thornton, and Grant. And
it has now for its councillors and bosom friends, such Well
as its most Rev. Vice-Patron, the Archbishop of Canter'
bury ; its Right Hon. President, the Earl of Chichester;
and its Honorary Secretary, the Rev. H. Venn.
A special fund has been commenced in the metropolis
for the purpose of increasing the revenue of the sacietP
and we are glad to see that several thousand pounds have
been subscribed. One lady, Miss Jane Cook, of Chelten-
ham, has contributed a donation of no less than £1,1900,
to be devoted to the missions in China. May we be per;
mitted to see the hopes of that devotedly attached Menu
of the society, the Rev. E. Bickersteth, realised, when 116
says, in an address lately published, " Is it too much 0
hope that- an extra sum of double the year's incooB
(X 200,000) may be raised, for the very important objects
suggested by the committee. It may serve to realise the
communion of saints, to think that, before the auspiciouS
day dawns upon us, the sun will haverisen in the far east,
and shone upon some even in China, the latest of the
missions of the society, where little companies will be
gathered together in the name of the Lord—that India
and Ceylon will next swell the chorus with their numerous
bands of native Christians, all taught to sing the same nor
song, though in various tongues (the Bengalee, Hindeet
Teloogoo, Tamul, Singhalese, Malayalim, Mahratta)--
that East Africa, with its as yet lisping babes in Christ—.
Egypt, Smyrna, and Syra, the scanty representatives of
the ancient Arabic and Greek tongues—the newly disc(/'
vered tribes of West Africa at Abbeokouta will swell the
strains. And then the full concert of voicel from the
elder brethren of Great Britain, throughout the varlet°
associations of our land. Then, as the sun completes /I,
circuit, the hearty voices of liberated Africans, mat%
" free indeed by the early and fearful labours of Ore
society"—soon to be responded to across the wide/Vial%
by their kindred race, the emancipated labourers (3_,,f
West Indies, and from the free wanderers of North-Ali
America. Then, when the shades of evening have cle„,l
the lips of the eastern tribes, ere yet the song has.cpc.-
away from the lips of the mother churches of Great 13ry
tain, the New Zealander will prolong the universal agile°
with the manly but softened tones of that noble race'
Thus for a double day—" from the going forth of the sun
from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the end'
of it"—for twenty-four hours the Jubilee note will u
prolonged.

CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOLS.—After sermons preac-heii
at Christ Church, on Sunday, by the Rev. Fielding 0"1,
and the Rev. Thos. Nolan, on behalf of, these valuato
schools, the sum of £42 10s. was collected. We rerif
that the depression of the times, and the circumstance
the recently appointed Bishop of the Diocese preaching,l,o
the immediate neighbourhood, tended to diminish '"
amount which would otherwise have been received. THE MILLION AT THE CHINESE COLLECTION.-MA
proprietor of this very valuable and unique collection ""-,,
expressed his desire that the masses of the town, its opel'ci
tives and others, should have an opportunity ofrord.e,,
them of visiting it at an admission so low asto be available
to the humbler classes. The wish is in itself both larrell:
ble and generous, and we doubt not will be very amply
responded to by thousands ere its doors are closed pre".
ous to its removal to Manchester.
