THE DOMUNION EXHIBIT M4 VIEWED BY A 1,(1NDON 0011117(R1ONI0ENT, A. witty correspondent of the Tropical Timor, London, England, who is "doing" tho Antworp exhibition with his "wicked uncle' and the "editor" after critioisiug Aho moan show of too British deportment at the International Exhibition, thus Iles. canto about the Canadian court ;—"Passing front the British Didgh'acerioa, we enter o really charmingly arranged court. Surely thio meat be England, too. Thorn are tho royal arms, there are tho Union Jacks, 'chore are— Bat no ; two smart mon with "Canada" on their caps keep guard. Wo aro on the ground of tiho most go ahead of all our colonioe, the groat Dominion of Canada. The aspect of this court only makes our appreciation of Aho humiliation to tho mother country the greater, kir. Canadian Commissioner Dore deserves well of his Government. Good Mote is appnront evorywhere, from the neat eas- es of Canadian wood down to the very en- trances and exits. Tho two things which first catch the eye oro tho Hubbard collec- tion of Manitoba game (hoods of clic, deer, antelope, etc.,) rind the model column of the gold mined in Nova Scotia since 1802. Both aro iderosting in their way. The editor rotors the game, Aho wicked uncle prefers the gold, and odds, with a sigh, that he wishes it were rcnl. The furnituro in this dopari vent is extremely good, not- ably tho highly finished work axllibited by K1'onoor, of Prost01l, Watorloo, (Canada) ; and the gp:Ometricut]ly designed inlaid tab- les of John White, Woodstock, Canada ; nor ]oust I forget Aho fine suite in nulling - any math' by Owon M'Garvoy, of Montreal; nor the lino display of woods shown by the Now Brunswick land and lumber conmpany. Tho middle of ono end of the 0011.0 is noon - pier( by a square counter, whereat some deft c11tmsels are instructing a crowd of gaping sight -seer's into the mysteries of tbo Sts] knitting machine, the invention of the Brothers Creelml11, of Georgetown, Can- ada, an1 to capital WW1]ii011 it 000108 111 be, saving both limo and labor. Then there is Stemshoru's (Ilalifax, Nova Scotia) beau- tiful birch bark canoe, and the flub Cloy oibbcd mound of the Ontario Canoe Com- pany, of I'uterboro'. Tho prima seem wonderfully cheap. A two -masted deck e141100, complete, is priced rot only £28, and act open one for $101 COs. I believe 3, C. Cording, of Piccadilly, Is the agent for these pretty pleasure shine. Mr. Ince, of Oxford, ha"; a goodly show of Hudson Bay tars, n1111 tho Bowuionvilla and Huntingdon Organ Company have sent twee -Runs of their workmanship. Tho Indian Store Company, of Hollis street, Halifax, have a dose ornamented with moccasins and bead- work, and poroupiuc quill embroidery, and "see" says Aho wicked uncle, triumplututy, "they haven't forgotten the whiskey." No they haven't. Air. heagraiu and Messrs. Goodorlmnl & Worts, of Toronto, are repre- sented by a noblo army of bottles. Pres- ently Ivo taste some 0f their contents, and we come to the conclusion that if Golder. hatxn & Worts would only start a shop in the Strand, the staff of T. T. T. would no longer worship at the shrine of the goddess of Scotch malt liquor. Altogether, as I sni(1, Aho Canoulian contra is a right royal show. It isn't big, but it is good, and so horn aro my congratulations, Air, Commis- sioner Dore," Caring for Cho Volunteer's.

The Ora0gumnn and their friends, in addition to the usual at- tmldnnts, filler' tho ohurrh to overflowing, tit 00 being by actual n0unt over 1:30 per - mom. Tho m0010n1 portion of the service was satisfactorily gone through with and o very able and elrx)naut 0(•11101 ,hdivorod by Elie incumbent, the Itev. W. '1', Muff, who tool( 1110 toot from the General Epiotic of Jade, 3rd verse. "13elnvod, Notion I gave all diligence to write unto you of tato common salvation, it 17(35 net;a8Hary for inc tip write unto you, that you should earnestly content' for the faith MIM( wad once delivered unto the Saints." Tho Reverend gentleman then romarlred that this, the epistle of Jude, was es- pecinily directed to those sanctified by God the Father, preserved fu Jesus Christ, and called ; to all Christians in foot, with- out distinction. It salutos the converts throughout tho world, and urges upon all the necessity of nontmldiug for the true faith --that faith which was (moo delivorod to the saints—and proceeds to remind thom of the severity of God's judgments against apostates, and wards them against believ- ing those seductive promises put forward by false teachers, upon whorl it pronounces punishment and woo, and urges them to beware of mockers, and use all exertions to savo their fellow creatures. The original word, he remarked, awed in the Greek to express "contention," inns reference to the champions in tho Grecian games, and tho same word, as used elsewhere in looly writ, is expressive of Allo Inmost exertion of body and mind. Wlte11 mall's eternal happine0s depends (0(0011 leis exertion, 011on1d it not follow that his zoal and ener- gy should be exerted to the utmost extent in the preservation of his faith—that faith az revealed in 1-ioly Scripture, teaching us Coo existence of a Triuuu Got, Ail -wise and A11-suliioiont, and upon tint principles of which our lino is to be formed, accepted and rewarded ? Creedal were made use of in the early christian church as expressions of faith, and when the apostle writes to his follow ch3istians, he impresses upon thein the duty of contending for that faith, the mode us it was then being -violently as- sailed ; diligently striving, in spite of op. position, to promote the spread of too doc- trines of Christianity, undefiled, and by their example, profession and prayers, be instrumental fn stemming those delusions, dud strengthening their weak brothers. the necessity for these exertions being only too apparent at the Gino of which the apostle wrote, for "an enemy load s01011 the taros." Snot" mon and such errors have arisen in all ageo of the church's history, and we must heed the warning to strive for the faith committed to the saints. Faith, tate origin of our existence, the Triune God and our only hope is in Christ's redemp- tion of our 9111 -stained could. We must see the futility, nay, the positive weakness, of trusting for salvation to our own merits, but must look to Hini who was without sin, and who endured ignominious torture and death for uo, and when Ire see our God laid in a manger, nuc' pathotioally ex- olltinoing that Aho foxes flava ]polos, and the birds of the ail' have nests, but the Son of AIan hath not where to lay his head ; when we see Iain] nailed to the cross, and hear His dying petition, there should be no need of au exhortation to repentance for sin. Faith nod repentance Luny fairly be call- ed the fundamental plan of the ol(ristien religion, St. Padl's words to the gaolor were, "Believe in the Lord Jeans, and veri- ly thou shalt he saved." Abraham be- lieved in God, and it wad counted unto him for righteousness. In all the dispen- sations God has given to man, we 000 that 170 are justified by faith, through Christ alone, and that there is only one media- tor between God and Man, the ntau Christ Jesus. Thio faith has suffered attack from tho earliest ages, but it Mas remained for these later days and for a branch of the ehureh itself to introduce ;;raver errors, and to surround Salvation with greator dil1ieulties than ever before. Well may these agcy he coiled "dark," when the head of the church, who bias• phemonsly called himself Christ's Vice- gerent, lived a life of open sin; and not ("untold with temporal 1100'cr 111.0110, 9aei• ligi000ly pretended to parcel out forgive, neso of sins yet to he colnmtt1011.
