Robinson, of Trivitt Memorial Church, Exeter preached two eloquent sermons in - St. John's Church on Sunday April 5th. He is comparatively a young man, and judging from his discourses yesterday bids fair to become one of the foremost preachers in the Church in this Domin ion. He has a powerful and musical voice and is a splendid reader. Rev. Dr. Beaumont of St. John's ,Church officiated in Mr. Robinson's church at both services on the same day. St John's Church is making rapid strides onward; and will, no:doubt, under the able care of Dr. Beaumont,' become one of the leading parishes in the diocese. The church has ,just been renovated; the inside being handsomely decorated, The work, which was done by Mr. Abe Rose, gives entire satisfaction.

They were tendered a reception by the employees of the Karn organ and piano factory, (in which pace Mr. Walrond is superintendent.) Mr. A. O McKee took charge of tiie evening's proceedings, and in a felicitous manner, after ex- pressing his kind regards for Mr. and Mrs. Walrond, called upon others to do likewise, to which many responded. The proceedings were interspersed by songs by Mr. Rankin' and GeorgePeck- ham:' Mr. Walrond, on behalf of Mrs. Walrond and himself, replied feelingly; thanking them for. the kind sentiments expressed towards them." Mi. Wal rond is second eldest son of Mr. George Walrond, of Stephen, and at one ' time. was a resident of this place, but has been absent from this locality for about 26 years.' 3 On Saturday morning about 2 a. m., fire broke out an the store and residence pf Mr. Thomas Dearing, Elizabeth St., and by the time the fire engines ar- rived the fire had burst through the roof, but by thelspeedy action of the firemen they soon had a stream of wa- ter playing on the flames. By some means a section of hose on Defiance No. 2, bursted shortly' after it was put in operation, and if it had not been that the other engine was in good working• order no doubt the fire would have made fast headway. No. 2. Co. seeing what had occurred immediately took off the hose and taking the engine to a stream which was near by,soon had it in work irig order the second time, which very soon extinguished the fire.

The "Early British Church” is the title of'a 15 page pamphlet by the Rey. H. D. Steele, of Kirktoil. It'deals with English ecclesiastical history in a most readable way, and all who have an interest in such matters cannot fail but peruse it with profit and pleasure. A concise catechism of history' is ap- pended by which the church of the Now Testament is traced to the time of the Council of Arles to that of St, Augustine and the Reformation, and thus historically identified with the Anglican church of To day. _ Mr. Steele, formerly a barrister of Nova Scotia, spent a number of years as a Presbyterian minister, but was ordain• ed a clergyman of the Church of Eng- land some ten years ago, and writes with the feeling of one, 'whose whole heart is in his church and work.

The Beauties of the Credit System. The following letter from a tailor, 'which appeared in a recent issue of the New York Sun, giving his experience in the collection of an account, is not without a moral:, -"Four years ago I was a merchant tailor, owned three houses and a good business. A Mur- rayill dude,got in IImydebt $260; could not get him to pay me., I adver- tised the bill for sale. He then sued me for $.10,000 damages, ' I then put the bill up in my shop with a note on it—bad debt for sale—he sued me again for $5,000. The judge at Court said it was libel, aiidoutrageons libel.
