TEMPERANCI MEETING.

The first of the course of Lectures for the season under the auspices of the Sons of Tem- perance, was delivered in their Hall, last eve- ning, by the Rev. C. I. Burnett. G W. A. The subject-“Cliariictcr, its paramount in- ﬂuence on the individual and the destinies of socicty"—was ably discussed by the learned Lecturer, who is reputed one of our most popular speakers on the Platform. The audience was of a respectable complexion and considering the inclcmoncy of the weather, the gathering of all classes reflects credit on the community and testifies the rank the Lecturer occupies in the estimation of his fellow citi- sons. Inaugural addresses are generally of it desnltory, discursive character, The theme of the discourse on this occasion, was an appro- priate introduction to in series of Lectures on moral, mental, and religious improvement. The propositions illustrated the doctrines of the Order in it very entertaining and instructive style. The Lecturer fortific his position by rcodin extracts from the works of an eminent Boottis Divine.

The Rev. John M‘-Murray, at the invitation of the G. W. P.,‘Jolin W. Morrison, Esq., sustained, in an elaborate, and eloquent speech, the views enunciated by Mr. Burnett, an

made an exciting appeal to the audience for __

their synipath and co-operation. His remarks evidently implied, that young men should sock out and cultivate the fittest means of turning

the fragments of their time to the best accounlt)-, in"._D“i°

that intellectual advancement should be an scrvin to spiritual progress,tliut they should cherish genuine Christianity, in connection with enlightened ublic spirit; and that Evan- gelical truth shon d be recognised as the grand caueiu of the social foIm'c_.
