HAD NOTHING TO 1,0. He had not in any way been mixed up or associated with them. He came to them from a different part of the country with every desire to exert himself diligently and simply for their good, and be (the speaker) trusted he might have the smooth and loyal support of all the parishioners in furthering the work of the parish. He knew they had the zeal for good, and it should be their wish and desire to do all they could to help their vicar in his work of faith and labour of love. It might be necessary for him in some things to take a line of his own, to make a new departure; he might have occasion to rebuke sin and to du some things which were not liked by every body, but the Canon hoped he might find them slow to take offence, and always ready and anxious to uphold him in his efforts to promote their spiritual interest both for his own sake and for the sake of the Divine Master for whom all of them had been called upon to labour.  The service, m far as the congretioa were concerned, was singularly hearty, and from the general feeling manifested there is reason to believe that the last has now been heard of those painful evidences of disaffection which has characterised the notorious " Barouldswick church dispute," and that both parson and people will strhe for their COM MOD weal.  THE VICAR READS HLIVIRLY Ni.  The new W. fcit;;; RA., read himself in at St. Mary-le-gill church onSonday morning, and in the evening preached to a large congregation at St. James's, and taking for his text "Great is the mystery of godliness" (L Tim. iii. ch. Ifiv.). After preaching an excellent sermon, the rev, gentleman in referring to the special occasion said :—Permit me in conclusion to make a few remarks of a personal nature. As you know I have just entered on the charge of this parish and feel that I ain—as St. Paul says—an ambassador of Christ, anxious to spend, and to be spent for you, and it will be my aim and object to set forth to you Jesus Christ, and him crucified, and to set him forth as the object of chriatian love, hope and worship. And speaking from this pulpit for the first time, I beseech you, one and all to yield yourselves to the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, and looking up to Jesus, who is the same yesterday, to-day and forever, to set him before you, not only as an object el Gab and worship, but also as your loving example. But while you listen to the teaching of this pipit do not forget .the duty of Holy Communion. em the pulpit we tell yen the story of Calvary, but in Holy Communion, we set it forth, and show before the majesty of the father the sacrifice of the death of Christ And my brethren let me be looked upon as a friend. I am not only appointed as your minister to exercise certain offices, but also to be your pastor, and your friend. Do not hold aloof from me; do not think that I shall refuse sympathy and help in all your troubles or necessities whatever they may be. It is my wish to he filled with the fulness of Christ, not only in preaching the word, or in ministering the things of God, but also as going in and out amongst you as a sympathising friend, in initstion of him who ever went shout doing good. And, my brethren, first of all let us trust one another, let us to impelled to walk worthy of that christian v,.-cation wherewith we have been called. Thus we shell learn to do our duty, to walk onwards through life, feeling that we are one in Christ, and anxious to show to each other Christian love and sympathy, strengthened and supported by Christianity, and thus show forth the attractive love of Christ which is above all, through all, and in all.
