Mr. Baste:ran as the next speak- - • r, and in his eerie' ea est and unassion n manner, delivere a most excellent. Int eloquent address. ale addressed his el, arks .mainly toung men: Mr. ;, i a tman said, that - - e saw a good uinber of this class ef re him, he did o consider it out of lace to (- rect. his arks mainly forth ir bentfit. It was e his head was not adomed with the ery lo; ks of age, but he was young. for this re woe, could speak Oren a more sym)ath and affection.. to se whom he propo ed to address. The ug teen of toeclay mild to( n be called n to assume the iniportaut positions connection etith church and state ich their fathers now hold. In- order b ri to pei form. those responsible duties ' t 1 necessary- that they COMM:nee early . o repare for what aivaits them. They ✓ the oajects of ver ' high'expectatione i It eh mere was ex ectad of HS taan of b se who have befo e, as ; we not only -njoy the advantages of our fordathers, 1 u have al -o their ex wricoce and exam - n to gu,i le BS, BeSilICS this, lie live in n age Of more advanced imprOvenient, ' n enjoy many privileges ani advaa- ages which were notenjoyediby those w to have gone before.. If we fail tom, et . h se expectations, it will be our own ; a It, and can only be attributed_ to neg- lig Nee. The speaker also dwelt on the ;, e essity for young men, having settled .• re proper aims in :life. A young man wi 'rout a settled aim, was like a ehip ful y &pupped iwith all the necessary ig ing, but without a port of destine - no , which would drift round tenhe a ers for a while, and theu crasliagamst r -Cie and become wrecked; to pieces. So wi h a svoung man who starts in life vi bout ifigh and proper aims, he may fo ktinie drift around upon the waters of ife, but ultimately he will land. upon th shoals of vice and immorality. and be ome- a miserable wreek. Always aim high, and push forward with" a -firm de- teiminatani to strike the mera even th ugh' the heavens should fall and strike yoji On the way. Far better to aim high evijn if you, should fail to reach your p�lnt, than to have your aims low and gr ii veiling. He desired especially to 'cau- Hon young "nen against the cup of the dr 0nkard. It was tbe most deadly ene- m • of all young, men. It would destroy Oa ir hopes and blast I their prospects; for ti e and. eternity. A deadly poieorrous se pent lies coiled at the bottom of each gl, ss, and although not at the time yisi- b1 , it will assuredly crush out every ho a and aspiration which nay have be n cherished in early life. My. -East. rn n concluded his excellent remark.S by di ecting all young , men to give their hes rts early and earnestly to -lod , land to embrace, early, the Christia religion, an it would certainly prove a ure don. - pas to guide thein safely past ihe shoals an quick-sants of life. 1 I ev. Mr. Gardiner, of Ham 1ton, Was th last speaker. lie reviewed the paot an I present position of the Christian a rch in this country, and stated him - se f to be highly pleased; and gratified wi h the progress which had been made, as well as with the present flourishing co dition of the chureh generally. :There ne er was a time then there was so m rele to cheer and to encourage the friends of the gospel on their journey as at -the present. Within the last twenty y ars „ the progress of Christianity was re i arkable. About . eighty year's ago th re :was not a siiigle priblishing com- p ny in connection with the church in t e country; now, bwever, there were o e million marietie ' of religious litera- tu e sca,tered. broad- ast over the -world, al d oser a million ai a a half of dollars in ,ested annually in the getting up and di tribution of this literatere. But, the grAvth of churches surpassed the growth of all Other branches. • He *as much pl,ased with the appearance of ithe many n at and handsome church edifices he 8 aforth. He had heard it ;said that there might be laege investmenth in , . c ruches and still be very little pieta,. b t he believed thet rood churches were relly a true sign of piety amongst the p cease. _ The progress of the Methodist b ny in Canada, was very marked incleed, b t he also considered that other de- naminations were doing well by their tit e. In conelusion he desired to lin prss upon them the fact. that though th Christian Church was divided into m y different braecbes, yet they wete br thethood, and urg d upon his hearers al members of the ,;ne great , Christian Of all classes the neceesity. of all uniting to go out to assist tsptead tae gosper, no in connecticp' with missionary work al ne, but in other braechee of the church.
