“THE PEACE JUBILEE

Ysa wonderfulsuccess. It isnot merely
a victory; it ig aconquest. It has no
peer, no parallel. The Crystal Palace has
a hall of far inferiar capacity, and its or.
chestra and choruses are in far smaller |
proportions. The view was as grand as
the song. Stretching back from the stand
ofthe Director two hundred feet, and
spreading a hundred and fifty feet on euch
side, was a solid mass of what Herbert

Spencer would call vocal und instrumental
force. A hundred feet squore was a level
avea, appropriated tothe musicans, Thence
arose in tiers the singers, ten thousand
stroog. Suchamass of people packed
into such a space probably was never seen
before. It was only equalled by the cor-
responding crowds which crowded the
restof the mighty auditorium, Even on
the opening day the mass was iultitudin-
ous. The ereaand front gallery were

vacked, and the side galleries nearly full.
Ten thousand people listened to the ten
thousand voices, and the thnnder of their
cheey was one of the sublimest part of the
performance,

The services began with a prayer by

Rey. Mr. Hale, reverent. compact. and
uppropriate, save in its signal silence of
ascription of praise to Him before whom
all the multitude of the heavenly hosts
fall and raise their voice of praise as the
sound of many waters. It was noticeable
that hardly « sound of his voice reached
halt down the amphitheatre, and this first
essay showed how impossible it was to
make this a hall for preaching, as has been
suggested, Mayor Shurtleff wisely con-
tented himself with reading a few senten-
ces in his ordinary tone from hishat. Mr,
Rice was more ambitious, aud gesticulated
dor fifteen minutes to an audience; two
thirds of whom did not hear a word, harilly
asound. He subsided in his patriotic
pees: with cheers from the non-
iearers, and the chorus began—* A Strong
‘Tower is our God.” How grandly that
grand choral of Luther’s rolled forth: «'Bhe'
mighty soul of the mighty Reformer could
ulmost have heard it in the high heavens,
had the gatés been’ as ajar as some im-
agine, ‘The effeet was overwhelming.
‘Tears foie. ‘ftom many eyes, and one
could” hardly keep from’ exclaiming,
* Truly God is in this place.”

This effect was in tones; not words:
No word could be caught,’ Though the
singers pronounced them very distinctly,
yet either the properties of the ‘hall, or'the
iood of music drowhed the ‘words. It
was the thunder of melody. “Tie waves
ot solemn sound rose and fell, soit and
loud, with unspeakable majesty: “Phe
pianissimo passages were as remarkable
as their opposities. To make this myriad
ol voices soft asa single whisper, was a
triomph of training and culture that! was

ed all the effects promised, except the
hundred anvils. ‘The organ thundeted,
drums beat, trumpets rung, viols sereech-
ed, and voices broke in, wave on wave of
astonishing power, capped, yet not sur-
passed by the cannonade, ‘This was play-
ed by one sitting close by the Director,

side of this highest poetry, theactuality of
to-day. The great audience rose, flung
:their hats, swung their handkerchicts,
shouted, clapped, in a word were almost
beside themselves in joy and admiration. |

Hymn, and Holmes’s words, though these
jacked the sacred fullness that the hour

“MALPEQUE TEA AND BAZAAR,

Yesrerpay we had the: pleasure of
attending the ‘ea and Bazaar at Malpe-
que. ‘The day was very auspicious.
While tiking a short drive. through the
settlement, we were particularly pleased
with its well cultivated fields and thrifty
appearance. Malpeque is one of our
oldest settlements, and its good people
are shrewd farmers.

From early in the morning up to three
o'clock in the evening, the folks came
pouring in to the tea grounds from all
directions, till one would suppose that
Prince County had well nigh exhausted
its resources in that line. ‘The grounds
around the Church were decorated with
trees and ever-greens, which, formed a
nice cool shade. ‘The tea tables were
set in the new Church building. ‘This
handsome structure is substantially and
nicely completed outside,and when finish-
ed inside, will be a comfortable and com-
modious place of worship, as also a credit
to the congregation and an ornameut to
the country, ‘The order, arrangement
and gencral working of the whole affuir
did much eredit to the energy and skill
of the managing committee. ‘The Ladies
performed their part admirably—which,
by the way, was by far the most impor-
tant. The tables were tastefully sup-
plied with abundance of edibles,- which
were in every way calculated to ‘satisfy
the tastes and silence the murmur of
the most fastidious. We never partook
of a better tea at any public party,

The Bazaar was held in a building
near the Church. ‘The building was de-
corated very tastefully. ‘There were not
so many articles on exhibition as we ex-
pected to find; but what were there was
very nice. We hope the Ladies who
stood behind the counters, found ready
sale for the fancy and useful articles dis-
played. ‘The Ladies of Malpeque who
contributed tu the Bazaar, may well be
proud of their industry and skill!”

A Kefreshment table was opened in
another building, under the care of the
managing committee. From it was sup-
plied temperate drinks and eatables—in-
cluding some of McNutt’s preserved lob-
ster.

‘Lhe best of order prevailed — every
body seemed satisfied—and well they
might. The attendance was more than
ordinarly large for such a gathering. ‘The
sum realized we have not heard, but it
must be considerable. '

POLITIOAL CHANGES,

Since our last issue there have been
some very important changes effected in
the Government. ‘The hon. R. VP, Hay-
thorne, has been appointed Leader of the
Government; hon. 3B. Davies, Colonial
Secretary; D. O'M. Reddin, Esq., At-
torney General; L. H. Davies, Esq., So-
licitor General. We suppose nov that
the ship has received a new commander
and new sails, she will be able to weather
out the storms for the remainder of her
four years’ voyage, ‘That is, if Mr.
Davies is returned at the election he will
have torun. From the tone of the last
Patriot, he is likely to have a sharp con-
test in the Belfast election. If deteated,
we sce nothing in the future but a gene-
ral election. But we should judge that
Mr. Davies counted the cost betore uc-
cepting office.

RECIPROCITY.

AxtiouGci the telegrams tell us that
negotiations are going on between the
governments of the United States and the
Dominion of Canada—and that Mr. Rose
will proceed to Washington at once, yet
the New York Albion, one of the ablest
conducted papers in the United States
says :—** The subject of a renewal of re-
ciprocal trade with Canada is attracting
attention both in the United States and
the British Provinces, and it is probable
that an attempt to renew the Reciprocity
‘Treaty will be made ut the next Session
of the Congress. ‘The repeal of the
Treaty has somewhat restricted trade, bat
has acded to the revenue of the ‘Treasury
and the continuation of the present sys-
temis in accordunce with the views of
the ** Protectionists,’ who now control
Congress.”

: CUBA.

Judging from the accounts shat have
recently reached us, we should say that
Cuba is ina very unenviable condition.
The telegrams are very conflicting: At
onetime we hear that the rebellion is
nearly put down; but at other times that
the insurgents have been victorious, ‘The
latest despatches state that a consider-
able number of regular Spanish soldigry
have deserted to the patriot army. ‘There
isalso a great deal of sickness among
them. ‘The Republicans have received
a great deal of aid from Mexico and otlicr
points. ‘The ** Sun's” Cuba special says:
“A great number of persons from Prin-
cipe abandoned that city together, and
guarded by a force of patriots encamped
im the woods. When Setona’ Knew that
their families were almost unprotected, hie
attacked them at night with w large lorce
and slaughtered large aumbers of children
women and old people. ‘The news given
to the Captiin-General shows that the yum:
ber of those whose throats were cut
amounts to 2000, and as all are children,
women, and old persons, Ute barbarous

The session commenced on
A new and good

who pleases may listen to the proceedings.
Ilearing of this arrangement, we dropped in
on Saturday forenson to see what was to be
seen and to hear what was to be heard, We
made our way to the gallery, and took a seat
in the choir behind the pulpit, We had from
that elevated place a good view of the mem-
bers of the Conference, who were seated in
the body of the church, An extraordinarily
good looking set of men we thought them,
both physically and intellectually, or rather
phrenologically. There was quite a sprink-
ling of venerable grey heads in the crowd—
men upon whose countenances time had set
his mark; but hardly one who appeared pre-
maturely broken down by sickness or by care.
‘hey are a healthy, happy looking set, those
Méthodist Ministers. ‘Lhe old en appear
hale and vigorous, the young men full of life
and spirit. ‘Chere was, we concluded, more
than an average share of big heads, broad
brows and thoughtful countenances among
them. Without doubt, the Methodist body
have no reason to feel ashamed of the appear-
ance of their Ministers, was the mental note
we took as we finished our very deliberate
survey ofthe gentlemen below us. We were
pleased to notice thata few of the ministers
had the courage and the good sense to wlow
their beards to grow. We cannot see why
ministers, of ell-men, should be the slaves of
the razor.‘ The priest all shaven and shorn”
does not belong cither to the primitive or the
patriarchal age. Who can imagine Paul or
Peter with a smooth shaven, shining, soapy
fuce? Dr. Vickard, of Sackville Academy,
was on his feet when we entered. We found
that we could hardly hear a word that the Doc-
tor uttercd, ‘Ihe fault was partly his or na-
ture’s—for his voice is not a clear one—and
partly that of the place in which we were seated.
‘Lhe choir may be a capital place to sing in,
but it is the worst place to hear in that could
by any ingenuity be constructed. After the
Doctor sat down, a lively and interesting de-
bate ensued. Ministers can, and do d.tler,
as well as other people. Getting interested
in the discussicn, we moved to a place where
we could hear with some ease. We were
particularly struck with the ease, fluency, and
even ¢ se, with which the greater number
of the speakers expressed themselves, The
question discussed was one of law, rather than
of religion. It was one out of the beaten
track altogether, and to tell the truth, we ex-

ected to see the ministers humming and
1uwing, and hesitating about it, as men too
frequently do when taken out of their usual
course. But no such thing. ‘The gentlemen
who spoke chopped logic and gave their views
of the law with as much ease and fluency, if
not with as much skill, as if they had been all
of them barristers instead of preachers. ‘The
almost total absence of the old: fashioned pul-
pit style and tone, struck us as being suime-
thing remarkable, ‘The style of speech was
natural and unaffected inthe extreme. ‘There
was no hifalutin, no straining after effect.
‘There was none of the pompous, grandiloquent
debating club style of oratory manifested. We
wished that some of our ambitious boys were
present, to receive a lesson in the art of really
efiective, earnest speaking, ‘he tone of the
debate was exceedingly good. ‘The debaters
spoke hke gentlemen, and like christian gen-
tlemen, ‘here was no undue display of
warmth, no coarse language, no exhibition of
temper, Still the discussion was not tame.
Quite the contrary, We were particulaily
pleased with Dr. DeWolf’s speech. His
manner of speaking is not the best, but the
matter of the speech which we had the privi-
lege of hearing, was such as to give the hearer
a very high opinion of both the Doctor's head
and the Doctor’s heart, For the first few
minutes the Doctor’s head spoke. Ue was
clear, logical, concise and convincing. After
that his heart spoke, and we must confess, we
admired the speech of the heart much nore
than we did that of the head. And so did the
rest of the audience. if we were to judge of
their appreciation of it by the hearty and fre-
quent plaudits it received. The ductor is, if
we are any judge of character, a man to be
loved as weil us to be admired,—more, per-
haps, to be loved than to be admired. ‘The
vpposition was a very able and a very plucky
one, and, before the division was taken, we
concluded that it must be, numerically, a
very powerful one. Judge our surprise when
we found that the majority outnumbered the
minority five tv one. Quite a number of
meetings connected with the Conference, di-
rectly and indirectly, have taken place in
Charlottetown, On Sundays, Conterence
Ministers occupied all thepulpits in ‘own,ex-
cept those of the Church of England. hey
preache | to well filled churches, A missionary
meeting was held on Wednesday night, and a
temperance meeting on Friday. ‘This last is
suid to have been the best Veiperance meet-
ing ever held in Charlottetown. ‘The Revs.
Messrs. Sergeant and Vittblado were the
principal speakers. An ordination service
was held on Monday night. Messrs. Sergeant
and LePage were ordained. Dr, Ritchie and
the Rev. Mr. Daniel spoke. ‘This service
was avery interesting one. The Ministers
were very much pleased with the Island; they
think it a beautitul country. And so it is, in

Addves
Reverend anv Dear Sin i—

On the eve of your departure to a new
and distant sphere of labor, we, your parish-
ioners, and others of Port Hill, Lot Kleven,
and New Belford, beg to express our most
unfeigned respect and heartfeit affection for
you and your truly amiable partners in life and
family,

To say that we regret your departure from
our midst but inadequately expresses’ our
sense of the loss we are to sustain by jvour
removal, For the long period of sixt@en
years, during which time you have been Pastor
of our Parish, you have performed your min-
isterial duties fuithfully and sincerely, and in
such @ nanner as to meet with our entire ap-
probation, Placed as you were in a difficult

Your cheerfulness and liberality in contri-
buting to every moral, liumane, and religious
object, and the many moral and religious in-

My Cunistian Brerunen :—

Tn the midst of the many cares and anxicties
necessarily attending upon the departure of
myself and family to a new and enlarged
sphere of labor, on a distant and foreign
shore, I have been, yery much gratified and
encouraged at receiving an Address trom you
couched in the language of esteem and atffec-
tion,

You are pleased to say, that for the long
period of sixteen years I have discharged my
ministerial ddties in such a manner as to mect
with your entire approbation. Alas! I tear,
in looking back upon the irretrievable past,
that there has been very much to lament in
my ministry; and [ find it ditlicult indeed to
adopt the Apostolic words, ** Wherefore 1
take you to record this day that 1 am pure
from the blood of all men.” It is my earnest
hope thatthe Great Shepherd of the sheep
will soon vouchsafe to raise up amore faithful
minister of His Word and Sacrament, and that

has neither run nor labored in yain.”

You are good enough to say, that I have
obtained the esteem and respect of others be-
sides the members of my own congregation,
1am glad to have this assurance. Although
T am deeply attached to the rites and cere-
monies of my own branch of the /oly Catholic
Church, I trust that I have always been able
to say, ** Grace be with all those who love the
Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.” I hope I

have endeavored tu "live peaceably with all
men,” and I shall always hope to hear that

you all ‘live in peace,” and ‘the God of
love and peace shall be with you.”

You kindly wish me ‘success in my new
sphere of action.” May L encourage the hope,
that in the midst of my labors I may not be
forgotten by you at the throne of grace?
‘These sad and painful separations will soon
be over, and if we live a life of pra er here
on earth, we shall, doubtless wacet hereafter
in a world of endless praise.

You may rest assured that in whatever so-
ciety I may mingle in a distant land, L shall
never forget your many acts of kindness and
genuine hospitality towards myself and Mrs.
Swabey and family, in the past. We have
ulways received a hearty welcome, entirely
ind¢pendant of party, church, creed, or de-
nomination, at the houses of the rich and the
cottages of the poor,

I beg to return you my most heartfelt thanks
for your expressions of kindness and good-will
towards Mrs. Swabey. She has indeed been
of great assistance to me in my ministerial
labors, Learnestly hope and pray that the
good seed which she has helped to sow, in
conjunction with others, in the minds of the
young, may bear good fruit when, perhaps,
‘the place which knows us now may kuow us
no more,”

Allow me to thank you carnusily for the
wish which you have expressed, that we may
arrive sately at our destination. I cannot but
reciprocate the wish, tnat, although indeed I
shalt be absent from you in the flesh, yet with
you in the spirtt, the Alinighty Giver of every
good and pertoet gift may not anly bettow
upon you" His choicest teu poral gifts,” but
so guide you by His counsel here, that after-
wards you may be received to glory.

T entertain a lively hope th.t I may meet
you again at sonie future period; but this is
in ee hands of that God who orders all things
well,

Brethren, beloved in the Lord, whether 1
am present with you or absent from you, may
my heart be gladdened by the thought that
pure and undefiled religion is increasing in
your midst; that you are * neither barren nor
anfrnitfal in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ.” If itis eo (which miay Gud 4n- his
infinite mercy grant), we shall meet to part
no nvore around the throne of Gud in ever-
husting glory! And now, while L utter these

sad words, “ Finally, brethren, farewell,” I }

will also adopt the Apostle’s words,
now, brethren, I commend you to God and ti
the word of his grace, which is able to build
you up, and to give you an inheritance among
all them that are sanctified.”

its contents were complevely destreyed before
any assistance could be rendered. It was-
only with great difficulty and exertion that
