Our crowded columns and hastened holiday publication prevented full re ference in our issue of Tuesday last, to the solemn and sad. event of .the past week. On that day, the last of 1889, two events lone to be remembered by the Church of England people in "Exeter, took place. The beautiful par ish church was consecrated by th Bishop of Huron in the morning and the mortal remains of one of the donors the late Mrs. Trivitt, was laid to rest ii the sealed vault beneath the chance floor in the afternoon.. The Bishop ar rived on the morning train from 'Lon don, and went at canoe to the church when the necessary papers for the„con AecratiOn were made out, end the, bel fling, to call together a :epegregation The consecration being .unexpected only a few, attracted by, the note of th bell, in, addition to the 'ciergee'an churchwardens attended. The "'e'er emony- of consecration, according; t the order of the Cheirch of England, i one that all our readers have not seen so we shall describe it more fully tha we otherwise would have done. Th Biehopand Revee RuraeaDean4 Cedig both vested, walkedefrom .the vestr door outside to the main entrance un der the tower, where they were met b the Rector and Churehwardans, Messr Spackman and Archer, the latter o whom read the petition for the conse oration, as follows:— To TILE RIGHT REV. MAURICE SOOLLAR Bitiowrs, D. D., LORD Brume or Hugo We the Incumbent, Churchwardens. an other inhabitants oftlie parish Of 'Exotic haying acquired. the land between Main, An drew, Longliall and.

ROnissox, Incumbent R".111:1 Churchwarden The Bishop accepted the petition and then began the act of consecration with the beautiful prayer, "Prevent us 0 Lord in all our doings." The pro- cession then moved.Up the centre pas- sage in the nave, through the chancel, the Bishop mad his assistant,Rev. Rural Dean Craig, entering behind the rail- ingerepeating responsively the twenty- fourth psalm, begining "the earth is the Lord's." Then the Bishop standing at the north side of the Holy Table, re- cited the exhortation, showing how hosy men under the Law as well as under the Gospel have erected and separated, houses, for the public worship of,,God, and urging those pres- ent not to doubt His geacious approval of their present godly purpose. Then followed the prayer to the Eternal God, to separate the church for ever, from all unhallow- ed and common use, and dedicete it for ever to His Holy Service. The prayees of consecration followed this petition in this order: first the censecratien al the font or place of Baptism. Then that of Confirmation or renewing of vows. ,q hen the place for adminis- tering the blessed sacrament of the Body and Blood of Chrisb—the place of marringe—for the churching ofiwomen and for reading and preaching God's Holy Word. The most touching pray- er of all in this beautiful services was under the sad, ciectunstancee tbe one for all who mourn, as fellows:— '0 merciful God, who givesAight in dark- ness, comfort to the an ournOVW; to the weary rest; Grant to all thy bereared child- ren who mh all enter into this house to be fill - M with theeonbolation Of thy B ol3r Spirit, that 331, en the diseases . el their souls are healed, and all sorrows ended, they, may he refreshed with the joys of an eternal resUr- nation : through Jc.sus Christ Our Lord,— Amen," , The aseriation pronounced by the 13ishop, as follow, ended the relielosis services of the cOnseeration: "ow unto the Ring eternal, iinmortn,l, invisilAe, the only wise God, the Father, the Son and the Holy aseost, be all glory for over anct ever—Amen. rr A.

(T.J. &) MAURICE 5. HURON. Within the ehaneel of the chureh thieg death was,' efore Christ had tat, en away 4E3 sting, He carried his hearers to a grave where God ayes 1111, known. All was dark, hopeless gloom. Why? because the sting of death was thoroatt was the oblivion of the atlapiet: Then there was the death of one 'WO' had forgotten God. The agony ef re- morse was there. The light of Chriet illumined nob the darkness, it wee the grave, and nothing beyond the grave, it was the ever present sin, there WaS a sting there, the sting of death. Bat there was the death of the believer, No fear, no shadowing dark- ness, sm, no death, for the stroke had fallen upon Christ, He had receiv- ed the sting, and the departing one could sayethanks be to God who giveth us the victory through One Lord Jesus Christ." She whom we mourn to day was among this band, there was no sting for her, all was peace, perfect peace, the perfect peace of Crod which passeth the understanding of man. The Bishop'ended a most impressive sermon by a picture of the land of Ben- . . • lah where the Chriseans obtain a glimpse of the other shore. The Bishop of Huron is well known to the people of Exeter, and whenever he speaes in our midst hundreds are drawn to listen, and his words are re- membered and discussed long after. On this occasion his sermon was mark- ed by an earnest certainty of expres sion, in harmony with the hushed, and saddened multitude before him,ancl the Christian, devoted life of her who had passed away. At the conclusion of the sermen the ComtnAtal servic,e was read by the Bish- op,the flowers removed from. the casket, the congregation respectfully standing as they were pla,ced on the choir- floor aboe,e the yault, and while the bearers' moved away to the opening in the chancel where the coffin was lowered to the masons below, the choit .sang softly the song of Simeon„ known as the Arline, dinrittis, "Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace" and at its conclusion bursting into the As- cension hymn "For ever with the'Lord."
