"Thirty -03e townships overrun by fire, 1,000 persons burned to death, and 12, 000 people hoinelese, hungry, and al- most naked," is the gist of the report from the Michtgau •burnt district. Ap- peals for aid are being made in different places in Casette and the United Steles, and we are Teased to learn, with grati- fyiag remits. In Goderich efforts are being put forth to send relief in mon- ey and necessaries to the burnt district, through the agency of Hon. John Hib- bard, American Consul at this port, who, with Mrs. Hibbard, has been untiring in the week of soliciting assistance. Al- ready the appeal on behalf of the suffer- ers has been nobly responded to, and we believe the philanthropic action of God- erich will be duly appreciated by our suffering brethren across the line. It was said of old, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," and in this in- stance the pleuure of extending a full hand and receiving a responsive throb of gratitude from the full hearts of the needy, will amply verify the quotation.

THE NEW PAIITUR Mr. Turnbull has been reared in the county, and in it he received his early education. At college he fulfilled the high expectations of his friends, and won honors that he has worn modestly and well. He is a fluent and earnest speaker, ,and although scholarly and erudite, has the power of speaking in a clear and simple style. He is popular in the best sense of the word, and we trust the splendid reception tendered him on Tuesday was the pre- cursor of years of good feeling between p a.stor and people. (ERVINU THE EUIt'T. On Sunday horning Rev. Nathaniel Paterson, of Bayfield, occupied the pul- pit of Knox church. His sermon was based on the event. narrated in the last four verses of the 1st Kings. He dwelt upon the wisdom of Adonijah in catch- ing hold on the horns of the alter, and drew from the incident the parallel of the sinner laying hold of Christ. At the conclusion of the sermon the rev. gentleman "served the edict," calling upon the congregation to attend the or- dination and induction of John A. Turn- bull, B. A. as assistant pastor of KIWI Church, Goderich, on Tuesday the 13th of September, 1881. 51701E THE PHEBBYTERY.

Our earnest ]prayer to Good is that you may be abundantly blessed, and be the means o1 leading souls to God, aid.that when you get home you may tweet many who have been brought to God through your ministry. ADDREai To THE rzorli. Rev. Mr. Musgrave, in beginning his address to the people, said that en such occasions as the present the church gave • speaker an opportunity of saying things to the people which they tingle not take se welt at other times. Pre- lacy tended to minimize the interest of the congregations, and independence tended to minimize the power of the clergy, but Presbyterianism, he thought, permitted full Justice to both Ministers and people. He would say to the peo- ple in the tint place: It is possible that you may hinder your pastor its his du - tit's. Don't be tau exacting. This i,e a fast age, and even the sacred profession does nut escape the general pressure. Your pastor certainly does net require all the week to prepa,e his sermons; but be has to attend the Sunday Scheel, or bible class, or prayer -meetings. He is a public man. a servant of the Church, the Presbytery, of the whole bounds 4.1 Christ's kingdom. I don't think either of our pasters will confine themselves to the straight jacket business which formerly narked out straight, strict Imes in which to act. They are for all the Church of Gael. Your pastor is to be at the holy communion, attend to ministerial visits, and go to the more social meetings ---a man among men like the Master, not a John the Baptist in the wilderness.

The prophets went before Jesus to foretell of Him, but the apostles came after til testify of Him. But these were special offices, and when those who filled them passed away they made no successors.

The app atie did not look upon the term am- bassador as merely applying to himself or his followers, tint to all ministers testifying of the Gospel. No man should 'eke the office upon himself.
