TUE REV. W. M. PUNSIION.
Mr. Editor :—Favored as our [sland has
‘hoen with a visit from the distinguished
Minister whose name stands at the head
of this letter, perhaps you would like a}
few words about * the min and his com- |
nitinications.”
In person Mr. Panshon isa stont, honest, |
farmer-looking man, just advancing ap-/
parently into middie lite His manner in|
public, and in private, too, as Tam intorm-
ed, is simple and unaffected, He doe:
not play the great man. Ilo lets others
find out his greataecss, without obtruding |
it upon them, |
Last Lord's Day morning, of course in)
our large Wesleyan Chapel, he preached |
to an audience of perhaps two thousand
people. He took tor his text, Phil. iii. 122—
14. His.theme was, though not formally
announced, the Christian race, as illustrated
te the career of Paw. There ts no teach- }
ot like example,” he said, in entering up-!
on his subject; and so he proceeded, |
pressing the saouple of the Apostle Paul,
upon the study and imitation of his hear-
ers. That oxample was not too high for
us, heargued. Paul began where we must
begin, if we cver become in any measure
what-he became. Ife began a3 a sinner
utterly lost and undone—at as low a point
us any hae sinner ever could have started
from; for was he not ‘the chief of sin-
mers?” We have the same Saviouras Paul
jihad, to introduce us into our career, and
sustain us in it; while the same means
and appliances, and helps, and encourage:
ments are withia our reach as were those
gvith which he was favored. Tlis civeum-
stances and sphere were peculiar, yet)
sthese so much r. semble ours that he had

aright to exhibit hiiaself as a patern to all)
Lelievers; even ashe did when he suid, |
+* Brethren, be followers together of me,
snd mark them who walk, so as ye have

us fran example.” In setting forth that!
example, the preacher sought to stir up

within the bosom of his brethren a holy |
;mbition. No man ought to say, & Well,

if I do but get to heaven at last, [ shall be

svell content; though it be but as it were

mpon a broken piece of board, and though |
J only just find a tur-off place within its
doors.” No; we must justi!'y our claim to!
be Christians at all by aiming to be * per-|
fect” in our Christianity, and with nothing
Jess ought we to be satisfied. Noman can
ately set before himself any lower stan-
ard, The preacher here directed much
of his force against the low, mean, selfish,
un Christian style of Christianity which
lays in a desire to bo saved from the con-
sequences of sin, without any desire to be
saved from sin itself_—And in warm and
touching tones did he call upon the slum-
bering and the dead to awake and live—to
begin to live in Christ, thst they might
fy up unto him, and live forever, He
brought the whole to a close in urging
pon his hearers just to points as to the
methods by which the Christian race is to
:be prosecuted to a successful termination,
dt must be, first. by a perpetual concen-
tration of effurt, after the manner ot the
stpostle when he said, ** One thing I do;”
‘keoping that one thing ever in view while
she ** prassed toward the mark tov the prize
,ot the high calling of God in Christ Jesu
‘When, peat, it must be hy keeping the eye
ever stendily fixed upon the glorious fu
ture; justlike the apostle again, when,
orgetling those things which were be-
hind, and reaching forth unto those things
achich were veyore,” he van lls race, wid
won his crown,

‘Mhus do T imperfectly indicate the gen-
eral bearings of Mr. Punshou's sermon.
rather than mark its outlines. And I have
chosen to amplify here, because so much
more has been said in America about Mr.
WPunshon’s lecturing than about his preach-
ing, able and wholesome us the latter is,
Hf somewhat less dazziing than the former.
‘though, indeed, if racy, idiomatic Saxon,
well compacted theuglht, clear statement,
simple pathos, cleyated aim, warm and
sxigorous appeal be any excellencies in
ypublic discourse, scarcely can Mr. Vun-
:shon’s most striking lectures surpass his
sermons, marked as these latter are by the
jualities just enumerated, Indeed, it the
sermon of Jast Lord’s Day morning may
be taken as a fair specimen, there is in his
preaching a rue union of beauty and
avholosomeness; the Jatter being just as
scouspicuous in them as the former,

The Lecture on Monday eyening, of
course again in our Wesleyan Chapel, was
alelivered to a large and respectable audi-
ence, though not to a crowded one, like
that of the Lord’s Day morning. It was
on * Daniel in Babylon,” now getting to
be pretty well known in the Provinces. 1
elo not sketch it, as you are about giving
your readers, a3 I understand, an oxtend-
ed report of it, But no sketch, no report,
bo it as full as it may, can convey an
adequate impression of tho power of this
jdecture #s delivered; since eloquence and
ezatory are things to be seen and heard,
nd can (neither be reported nor photo
Braphed, 1 can only intimate here the
splendor of the lecturers’ thoughts, the
elegance of his style, the abundance and
beauty of his illustrations, the keeuness of
jis satire, the skillfulness of his applica-
tions, the force of his appeals, the gran-
deur of his climaxes, and the crowning
glory of his closing paragraphs. ‘Then,
too, the whole warbesne led with poet-
ry and anecdote, adapted atonce to relieve
the attention, and to allure it onward.
Altogether there was afforded to the audi-
ence an entertainment at once delightful
and healthiul—gratifying to tho taste and
dnproving to the heart. And, as the lec-
turer dropped his final uevent, amid the
signals of applause that arose on every
Jaund, one could not help thinking of Mil-
fon's lines :—

The angel ended, and in Adam’s ear

Too charming left his voice, while he awhile

Thought him still speaking, stood fixed to
hear,”
_ -¥et after all I must contess, though some

- may regard this as a sort of critical here-
gay, that the sermon of Lord's Day morn-
ing seemed to me to coniain tnore of

enuine Gloquence than the lecture of the
Monday evening And sure Iam, that il
the latter was more admired, the former
was more deeply felt, and will be the
longer remembered.

The names of Punshon and Spurgeon
are often mentioned together, as though
they wero in some sort rival candidates
for the palm of oratory, Without imagin-
ing for an instant the existence of any
thug as between themselves so unwor-
thy and vain glorious as this, or giving
countenance, in ren to them, to tle
nthian it ol rtizanship, it may

preaching,—Spurgeon thus is more the
man of the people, moreeasily saderstood
and appreciated by them than Punshon,
Although here, again, it seems as if Pan-
shon were rapidly growing, especially in
his preaching, into u simplicity and direct |

him also for obtaining an influence over
the masses resembling that possessed by
Spurgeon from the yery opening of his

speak, by a certain instinctive faculty ;
while Panshon, in working out his cone
sions, resorts more to logic and analysis.
Both ave rich in imagination and fancy,
But Spurgeon here. as everywhere else, is
habitually siupte and natural; while Pan-
shon is more oruate and artificial; the one
culls his flowers while the other cultivates
them.

Charlottetown. July 9th, 1863.

To tite Epivon OF THE JOURNAL,
Suni

in ghincing over the columns of the Inst
issue of the /staader, L noticed certain edi-
torial comments on the Wesleyan Tea and
Bazaar held in this town on Wednesday
last, which, il allowed to go forth uucon-
tradicted, may lead strangers to believe
that Summerside is some God-forsuken
place, where neither law or order exists.

‘The writer of the article in question says
that **dranken men reeled through the
crowded streets or drove through them at

was going on in different parts of the town,
drunkenness, lighting and profanity were
openly exhibited to the disgust of the well
disposed citizens until a lute hour,” ,

‘Lhose statements, L contend, are simply
untrus., [traversed the crowded strects ot
Sumincrside on the day in question trom
morning UL night, and saw only one or
two drunken men, and one only with blood
on his face. Neither did Lhear anything
that coukl be the least offensive to the
feelings of the most refined lady. It pro-
fanity and rowdyism existed, it must lave
been in some of those places of doubtiul
character known to the initiated; and per-
haps the editor of the Jslander. stimulated
by an interse thirst for knowledge, may
haye wandered into some of those choice
localities, ind henee the picture he his
drawn, .

L have heard the opinions of different per-
sons on this subject, and the general iin-
pression is that the day passed off quietly
aud orderly, with the exception of some
harmless treaks of some of the Charlotte-
town boys, Who landed here in a slightly
elevated state of mind; but even their do-
ings were not of that nature which deserve
to be ehuvucterized as ‘rowdyism and
profanity.”

With regard to the persons who the
editor of the {slander says were ** seriously
injured, I may state that their injuries
could not have been ofa very serious na-
ture, as it did not prevent them from. re-
turning to their homes some distance in
the country the same evening.

tional question of the first importance has
been treated in a manner worthy of a
great Pasliamentary opportunity, and of
the noblest, proudest, most vigorous
aristocracy in the world. The Royal
Assent has been given to the Scotch and
Trish Reform Bills.

On the 29th ult., a deprtation from

the Archbishop of Cantesbury an address,

denouncing tall Christian communication
with Dr. Colenso, until such time as he

have done their best to ** check the mis-

Sir Robert Napier, of Abyssinian repu-
tation, has arrived in England. ‘The yal-
lant general, with the modesty exhibited |
in his despatches, appears to have pur-
posely avoided the popular greeting which
thousands in London would gladly have
given him, and it was doubtful almost to
the lust moment, when and at what ter-
minus he would arrive, ‘The Mayor and
Corporation of Southampton telegraphed
to him while yet at Malta to know if he
intended landing at that place, as they

give an entertainment on his hopor, But
the answer came back that his arrange-
ment- were made to return via Marseilles.
Doubsless this was done on purpose. In
both Houses of Parliament a vote otf
thanks was given to the General and to
the officers and men of the Abyssinian
expedition, In the House of Lords it
was moved by the Earl of Malmesbury,
seconded by Marl Russel, supported by
the Duke 6f Cambridge. In the Com-
mons it was moved by Mr, Disracli and
seconded by Mr. Gladstone. ‘Lhe pre-
sents from the Abyssinian army to the
Queen have reached the India Office.
They consist of three crowis, one of them
of solid guld, a rebe of state, a goblet

seat, with a handle of three large picces
of agate, each via different colour. Sin-
gularly enough, the case that holds it
bears the name ofa well-known tirm in
Pall Mall, ‘hese relics of ‘Theodore
will not only serve to keep in mind his
romenti¢ history and tragic end, but will
‘also remain as remembrances of the jea-
lousy of her children’s freedom felt by
England, and of the deep meaning of the
ery * Taina British subject.”

In a tew days haying will be en in good
earnest. ‘The old proverb, Make ay
while the sun shines,” is as worthy of at-
tention as ever it was. Some farmers who
think they know more than those who have
tried belore, cut down their grass and
spread it out, and let it lie in this condition
day and night tutil itis eared and ready
to go into the barn, We believe this to be
a bad practice. The better way is to spread
ithe grass, if possible, by ten or eleven
o’¢lock, in the forenoon ; il the erop is yery
heavy, to turn or stir it up alter dinner,
and fake and cock it up before the dew be-
gins to tall. The next day wait until the
dew is off, and then open, turn at noon,
and get it into the barn during the after-
noon, Lay secured in this way will be
sweet aud good, and willalways cammand
a ready sale, and be readily caten uy the
catte. In these days ol improvements,
when farmers can procure mowing ma-
chines, lay rakes, and other Jabor saving
arrangements, the hay aud grain crops can
