TnesassrViees were well at. tended s'aul the anniversary throughout was a SIMMS. Sermona were preached on Sunday, morning and evening, by Rev. Dr, Carman, General Superiutenclent of the Methodist Church, the morning service being, as he expressed it, a purely political sermon. In the evening, a lengthy hut interesting sermon was preached from the text, Gen, xxviii N- 'And this stone, which I have set for a pillar shall be God's hones ; and of all that duns shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto, thee." The rev, gentleman cledned Re ligion ae meaning a ligament, thet which blade man to God. Every pereon who has religion possesses some plan or regularity. A sad mistake was merle by some people to bring religion to church for Sunday and have none for the restof the week, Ile was not in sympathy with the people who aeked for outpourings of Divine blessings and not able to contain what they had, One-tenth of a man's income should be given to the Lord ; it is God's eommand. The reason why so many men fail in life, is because they do rot have the Lame of mind to give God his share. The giving of tithes should, be as strictly adhered to to -day as in the days of Jacob and should be gisen freely -not forced by any govern. ment or creed. MONDAY DVENING. On Monday evening a lecture was de- livered by the Rev. Dr. Carman, that has seldom, if ever, beeu equalled in Exeter, The subject wati'"Colonial 'Empire," and was handled by the speaker with superior ability. Colonization, he said was not the outcome of war or priest craft, not Nvith the huddling together of masses in filth, vermin and crime, nor by the foolish mau- ve!, of taking up too much land, but by a systematic manner of government and all working together. Man's first command- ment was to multiply and replenish the earth, and the practice of huddling famihes of active girls and boys up in towns and cities was damaging to the country. Every boy and every girl should grow up able to taka care of himself and herself, and he did not believe they should be always tied to their mother's apron strings. Some people, however, go to a new country and grasp all the land they can get, never mind the schools and churches, never mind the advantage of closely settled neighbors, only get plenty of land. They could not see that the way to colonization was by closer immigration, The speaker here re- ferred to ancient Greece, small dominions, but rich and powerful England's power lay, not in a large army, but in the perfect drill of a small army. Rome was the great colonizer of the world. Defeating a coun- try, she therein stationed troops of other nations to defend her possessions, and at the same time prevent any sympathy be- tween the army and the people. The word colony means plantation, Rome making colonies, and planted her armies therein. But the downfall of Rome was in her corrupt Christianity and absolute power. She levied and collected her taxes at the point of the sword. Here the speaker, in eloquent and vivid language, drew a graphic picture of the tramping ground of Europe. Mahometanism tried to force its way in from the west through France, but was checked and the cross of Christ raised instead. Some years late: it again sought admission from the east through Hungary, but was again defeated, and by the numerous wars and disturb. ances it, left Europe divided pretty nearly as it is to -day. The religious and political factions of Europe led to the discovery and exploration of this country to the west. Columbus dared the wrath and dangers of kings and courts to obtain an outfit to go on his voyage of discovery. He discovered this beautiful country and in honor to that brave man, said thBspeeker, the land from the South Pole to the North Pole should be named "Columbia" for his sake. It was the religious and political factions that led to the landing ou our shores, of the Puritans, Catholics, Jesuits, and othere. When the power of one was in the ascendancy the opposition would sail in ship loads to the New world, and our colonial eamire was built up. But the peace and quietude of the country was disturbecl by the Jesuits, said the speaker, for they are a society that is not to promote the cause of Christ and peace, but a villianous party set against law ad order. Great Britain would never have been Great Bi itain if the Jesuits had had their way. They clearly foresaw the tri umph of Protestantism if England and Scotland were united. The Saxons, de- clared the speaker; were the hest men on the earth. They stood by the tights and freedom of women. There was no "com- parison" between the Eltitish Isms and tho' e of ales, other nation in the world, ex- cept, perhaps, those of the United States. Aesolute power has been the downfall of other powers besides that of Rome, King William of England was beheaded because he tried to force the levying and collecting of taxes without the consent of Parliament which he dissolved and disbanded, Re sponsible goverpment, continued the speaker. was the most pliable, for the country was governed by the people and it was their looknut to see if it was governed rightly or wroitgly. In contrasting the government of Canada and England with that of the 'United States, the speaker drew attendee to the appointment of judges. They are elected by the people 00 tbe U.S., he feaid, and a judge so ap• pointed bad not the same liberty to admin- ister justice as the crownesppOinted judee pf Englited., tied the paeliament.appointed sudge. of Canada. When elected by the people, friends of the candidate would use their infitienee to heve him elected, and the expect him to be leniently dealt With shwa they come hefore his lordship. The speaker deplored the fact that Canadians had Mot enough native patriotism ; En. glishmen, on the other hand, were ex- tremely patriotic, and the Britieh cheer foe their Queen ata countty Wets the heartiest and most lusty in the wothl. 'The epettiter ended a two end a half hour he - titre by reading 0 beautiful poem whieli he composed when &bent the age Of 21, /t rhymed soniewhet after the manner of I Seett'e or Goldsmithm 's poems, wee full of Hayfield. sentiment and loyalty to Canada-eher 1 soenery, industry and government. A vote of thanks was moved by Rev. Mr. WIlson, aeconded by Rev, Mr. •Kertin, and eartned unanimously. The Doctor acknowledged the compliment in a few graceful words. - The finencial proceeds amounted to $150 Done With Less Riqlc, The Canada Mutual Fire Association are agitating for a reform in insurance matters, Among the questions is that of Steam -threshing, the dangera arising therefrom, and the most desirable rem- edy, The question of Government inspection of fires is also endorsed. The Dxecetive Committee of the association were unanle.a in corning to the con - elusion *X 1.° eely true remedy for fire resultit., steam threshers would be to remove the engine as far from the building as possible ; and in order to accomplish this, enquiriee from the managers of the different companies have resulted in demonstrating without doubt that it is quite practicable to run a thresher by wire cables, which would allow the engine to be set not only opposite the barn door but at any angle therefrom, thereby always taking ad- vantage of the wind. Personale. Mr. Thos. Russel of Usborne, whose name was mentioned in connection with the' cornipg municipal election, in last week'irTeuns, informs us that he has no intention of contesting any of the muni- cipal offices; and that the report rec'd currency without his knowledge what- ever. -Mr. R. S. Lang has returned to town after a profitable season in the more prolific apple fields of Western Ontario. He has handled a great many thousand barrels this season, and has been fortunately favored.- Mr. Jas. Airth, who has been ill of inflammation of the lungs for some tim e, is improving. 'r -Mr. A Taylor is very low, also of infitimma,tion of the lungs. -Mrs. James Swenerton, of Port Dalhouse, spent a few days of last week in town. Mr. John McCurdy, of Kirkton, was intown on Monday. Munthipal. Municipal election matters' during the past few days have begun to assume mere definite shape. The field is full of aspireitits and some good ones, too. Dr. Rollins, the present reeve. it is said, is to be opposed. IV Mr. T. B. Carling. Mr. Carling has SeetVed as councillor for several years and Seeeyed the people well always having an 20Y'e' I° the welfare ' of the ratepayers in keeping dowa taxation as well as promot- ing schemes calculated to further the interests of the town generally. Mr. Carling would make an excellent reeve, being weAchful, economical and liberal - minded. The contest will he a keen one, should Mr. Carling consent to contest the office. For deputy -reeve, besides the preeent office bearer, Mr. W. G. Bissett, there are several names mentioned amoegst whom, Mr. W. Harding, Thos McCallum and others. These men are all worthy of the office and the contest promises to be a keen one. For councillors, the names of W. Treble'D. A. Ross, J. N. Howard and Hugh Spackman are mentioned. Mr Treble is a southern man and as the people of the south have interests at stake they should be entitled to a representative. Mr. Treele is a thorough business man, liberal -minded and a fit aspirant for any of the municipal offices. Metiers. Rosa and Howard are each good men. They have interests throughout the town, and would legislate for one district with the same care as they would for another. They are highly intelligent men, liberal in their views and careful in their business transactions. Mr. Spackman is a y oung man of good ability and would doubtless make a good councillor. He is energetic and careful. The contest throughout will be the most hotly contested ever known in Exeter. We since learn that Mr. Hardy may also contest the reeveship, and Mr R. Davis is to be added to the list of candidates for councillor. .11ashwo oct.
