LECTURE.—The 0.' Y. B. Lodge gave au entertainment on Thursday evening of last week, the chief part of which was a lecture, delivered by Rev. A. McKibben, pastor of the Methodist church, The title of the lecture is "Three -score years a Queen," and it is only jnstice to say that ib was worthy of the appreciation with which it was received. It is up to date and thoroughly patriotic. The speaker dealt with the subject ander three heads principally, (1) The Empire (2) The Sovereign ; (3) Tho Age. In the opening part he spoke on patriotism, and British patriotism. Flo referred to the great man of the reign, "the greatest of them all, Gladstone." In the olosing part he spoke strongly in defence of Britain's methods of colonial Govern- ment. His advice to young men was to "stay with Britain, and stay in Canada ; prize your British aitizouebip ; for bo - sides all else remember there are some things yon enjoy as British subjects which in other countries you could not purchase with gold." The short, patri- otic pompe with which the lecture was interspersed thrilled us as we listened, especially' "The Red Cross of England." Tho lecture was thoroughly enjoyed by every one, especially the Britons. We felt bigger and braver after we had listen- ed to 1t.
