Mr. Cooke, and extending to bun a cordial invitation to return for another year, Thu Methodist (thumb proved too 000111 to acuenunadato the large crowd that turned oat to bear Rev. Mr. Coolie's ail. dross on "The Ross Bible " Thoso who worn fortnnatu enough to gain addmission were favored with a °boor, exhaustive mud table oritieism of the Scripture Readings, Rey, lir, Hartley was present in tho pul- pit and led in the opening prayers. Mr. Cooke took as bin text, The Biblo, and state?, by way of preface, that he propos- 'v hisopinion of the Read - tugs, morel to give o t Y g 1 . ! animus nt nus or 'u n free from an pelt££ a a bias. What he had to say world bo what the WM convineod lois duty as a Christian minister compelled hien t0 say. Nn party, or porson suggested the course he was taking, and no church, party, or individu- al was responsible for his utterances HOMO himself, Tho rev. gentleman then pro- ceeded to formulate his objections agaiust the Scripture Readings, grouping them under five heads, viz. ;—lst, Tho Read- ings aro not what they aro represented, by those - ho endorse them, to bo and do not faithfully represent the entire Bible. and, Many of the Christian doctrines are not taught in the book, or if taught aro not so forcibly taught as in the original Scriptures, 3rd, Many of those sorip- ture passages, which refute the erroneous dagnuas of :also religions, are emitted, amid tho-e 0n which bhoy baso their claims ore given. 411. That two very import- ant paint' are tacitly conceded to in- fidelity, i, e., that the Bible is an impure book, not fit to bo road in the school, and that the Bible, as is whole, is not inspir- el. 5th, The Bible has been dishonored and discredited by substituting for it these selections. That which has been joined together by God is ruthlessly put asunder by man. Each of these ohjeo- tions was most eloquently urged, and abundantly sustained by reference to the pae•:ages inserted or left out, as scansion required, and the whole logioally proven and fully demonstrated, The impression Was made by the speaker that there had not been any political or evil design in the preparation of the Readings, but eon- oidered it a grievous blunder, and wound up by urging a strong plea for the entire Bible in Ciao schools. Tnont Scuu'Tmtan RLinlxus,--Duro Euxron.—A great deal of controversy is being carried on at the present Limo about what is called by some who imaging they ho" ei Bible." If these parties ?ansa t Ro , Bible.' L had taken tho least possible trouble and read the inscription on the outside they would have seen "Scripture Readings," and if they had taken the trouble to raise the lid, turned over two leaves, opened their eyes and read, they would have seen sr.:,t '.i^-; 14ae the fellreving:-i'TIiis volume of iteriptnre ltoadiugs has been prepay: d under the direction of the Edu- cation Dbpartmont in order to place in the hands of evoyy teacher, in 0 unveil - lent form, those Pennons or T)11'1 Bunk beet an1::pted to the capacity of Public and High School pupils." Rev. Mr. Cooke, of llluerale, delivered what he chose to call a sermon on title subject, last, Sunday evening, He complained that Fath and Repentance were not fully taught, which he could not have s.,id had ho read the book, as there area multitude of passages. Ho also said that loyalty and inspiration were not fully taught, when, if it bad been reed by the rev. gentleman, ho could not hove Railed to notice nitmerous pas sages. A great number were present to hoar Mr. Cooke's remarks and as thel'3ook is only found in the sohouls it may not be out of place to give a short account of it. This book was prepared by the Eclat cation Department about two years ago and placed in tits schools, thus making an increase of 1u0% in the schools using the Bible. It is divided into five heads, the first contains the History recorded in tho 01d Testament, beginning at the creation, describes man before and atter the fall, story of Gain and Abel, the Deluge, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Esau, joss/3h, the oppression in Egypt, the Ex- odus, the miracles of the Wilderness, lives of ?lows and Aaron, Joshua, Samson, Samuel, Saul, David, Solomon, down to 7eeekiah, the temple built and ro-built, and acts of Elijah and Blithe. The sec- oncl is devoted to Devotional Exeroises, and contains selections Mum Psalms, Job, •Proverbs, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Micah and Maliohi. The third is rho Life of Christ, taken from the four Gospels and put in historioal order. The fourth contains the _dots of the Apostles and the life of Peel, as far es recorded in. Holy Writ. The fifth contains thirty selections from the Epistles. The book contains all the doatrinos held by Protestants, and before this book was placed in the schools it re- ceived the approval of'tho principle Pro- testant denomination, yet we are told that a book that conjoins passages prov- ing all bio doctrine held by our religious bodies, the life of Christ, the wonderful uermon on the Mount, life of Paul and he history contained itt tho 01d Testa - ?tient is bub the dry, -lifeless, withered, or emntilated remains of our Bible.

Mr. Farrow spoke firab and re- lated what the Government had done in the interests of the public and gave an account of his last five years as their rep- resentative. Dr. Macdonald followed and showed bow the Government had wasted the finances, run the country in debt mud mismanaged affairs generally.

Martin, farther to Jas. M. Martin, of this township, who is now and has been for several years a resident of San Promisee, California, recently met with a heavy loss, It seems that an ex- plosion of gunpowder took plane on a vessel in the harbor of that city during a recent storm and the 00001155i011 was 50 severe that it wrecked several of the buildings in the vicinity and Mr. Martin's residence was among the number.
