"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.

examination before the Presbytery, dur-

At the conclusion of the sermon the
members of the Presbytery gathered
around toe candidate, who knelt upon
the platform, and put their ham's np.o11

earnest payer, asked the richest bless•

ing' of God to come upon the newly ap-
pointed minister end all his charge.
After the "laying on of stands,•' the
pastor young received the right hand of

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. A nun in preaching
cannot always be the ante. His wings
cannot always be soaring in the realms
sit oratory. He roust .01115 time place
his feet on terve firma. In this age
we have itching ears. We mark nut
what we call model sermons, and if a
man riles/lured by these tape -lines fails
to croute up to the mart be is a n..boody.
Now, 1 don't want to apologize for the
ministry. The pulpit of to -day stands

ing to the hypercritical cissa, Mr. Mus-

a nation:but there is no officer who occu-
pies so important a position as an embaa-

bassadors, the regular and resident,
or temporary. 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. No ambassador

stead. The king alone can du it. The

bassador as merely applying to himself

be called of God- There must be a de-
sire for the work, and an aptitude for it.

on Tuesday afternoeu the 33rd Bat-
talion assembled on Attrills island for
their annual twelve days drill. The
tents have been pitched on a moat ro-
mantic spot, and the sight from the
banks ab.n•e is most picturesque.
The Battalion has mustered stronger
in previous years, but the physique of
the mien will compare favorably with
any peat showing, and their conduct has
been so far meat creditable. Perhaps
one cause of the improved condition of
morals will be found in the fact that the
canteen is a strictly temperance one,
being run by that venerable adre,cate of
, teetolalisrn, Mr. Herekiah Hale.
1 The scenes in camp are lively and in-
to -eating. The companies drilling, the
officers giving the word of command,
the droning of the bugle practice, the
Laughter of the mien off duty, and the
cheerful hum of the cooks as the steak
Itizzies its the pan, all lend to the quiet
island an :sir of activity and interest.
5u far no casualties have been report -
