British and Foreign Bible Society.

ANNUAL MEETING.

THE annual meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held in Y. M. C, A. Hall last evening. The President, Hon. Judge Young, occupied the chair. The xudience was large. Rev. Dr. FitzGerald, Rey. Messrs. Carruthers, Sutherland, Me- Neill, Read, Brewer, Moore, and Gordon; W, E Dawson, and T. C. James, Esqs, Vice-Presidents; J. W. Morrison, Esq., Treasurer; Mr. Justice Hensley, Dr. Leem- ing and many other leading members of all the Protestant denominations. of Zion church was present to sing the hymns of praise. Dr. FitzGerald offered up prayer. he President delivered a short opening address as follows :—

Dear CuxistiaN Frrenps,—In ‘the good

Providence of our Father in Heaven, we are privileged to meet in the fifty-second year of the organization of cur Island Auxiliary Bible Society. We began with some sixty members in the year 1838, and by our Report to night we show arecord for 1889, of 268 on the roll. We may well be thankful, not only that this hranch exists; but that God has been pleased to b' # its operations tor so many years. Une of the great advantages of a meeting like this, is that all denominations of the Protestant Churches can gather together on one broad platform, and realise that we are of one heart and mind; and that the strong tie that binds us, is a firm and abiding faith in the Holy Bible, being the revealed word of God. It is indeed a wonderful book. The more it is studied’ the more precious it hecomes, and to the religious mind it is ever fresh and new. One who enjoys spiritual life can never get tired of the Word; why, because its testimonies are wonderful, its promises are most encouraging, its principles are God- like, its precepts are practicable, its invitations are boundless, and its admon- {tions must ever be regarded It has been the privilege of the British and Foreign Society, and through the agencies employed by its auxiliarie-, by Colportage and by other iustrumentalities to circulate this blessed Book far and wide throughout the world, and thus exalt the nations that have received it, not only in civilization, but also in the things that are divine, spiritua], and eternal.

I feel assured that there will be a hearty

response ip the minds of all assembled here to- night, when I say may God bless the oper- aiions of the Parent Society, its auxilisries, and all who are engaged jn this glorious work, whick has hitherto proved so remarkabiy successful and encouraging. The Rev. Mr. McNeil] then read the annual report, yshowing that abcut seyen hundred bibles had been distributed in the course of the past year, and that much valuable work had been done by the col- porteurs. J. W. Morrison, Esq., read the report of the Treasurer, inciuding the following financial statement :

been read, be adopted; and that the following:

Joseph Koight, Thomas Leeming, |

‘ that the Commissioners were prolonging

became gentlemen speaking for the first time in Parliament, were noticeable for the modest and unassuming manner in which they spoke. While clearly putting forward their views on the various subjects referred to in the Governor’s Speech, they did not allow themselves to be carried away with their sense of their own importance. The ‘leader of the Opposition, knowing that debates on the Draft Address are now ‘generally confined almost entirely to matters ‘referred to in the Governor's Speech, was also extremely mild and gentlemanly in his criticism of the Government; and was answered by the Leader of the Government in the same way. In any other Parliament, ‘the speeches of these gentlemen would have ended the debate and the House would have thenfgone into Committee. But ,& member, who for long years has been burning to air his eloquence in the House ,of Assembly—was tuo impatient to allow ‘an opportunity to slip. Taking the floor, /he imagined that he was at his accustomed work of addressing a jury, and for an hour and a quarter devoted ‘almost his entire attention to abusing ‘the Commissioner of Crown Lands. ‘Of course the hon. gentleman was within |his rights when he did so ; but was it good taste for a young member to evince so belli- cose a disposition? The tradition of Par- liament sets forth that new members, like young maidens, should be noted for their unassuming manners and retiring modesty ; and when we see one of our cherished ordinances thus rudely violated, a thrill of ‘indignant protestation creeps quickly over ‘the minds of all old habitues of legislative halls.

And what was all this burst of eloquence about? The defalcations in the Land Office, a subject that has been thrashed out by the Opposition press and party in every conceivable manner and on every possible occasion for the past four months. There must be some reason why this sub- ject has been resurrected by the Oppusi- tion. We know that it was that party that raised a how! in the Patriot abuut the de- falcations in the Land Office, and dragged the misdoings of the lats Robert A. Strong into publicity. We know, to some extent, why it was done, but the late resurrection of the subject leads thinking men to believe that there is more than interest in public matters, inducing certain members of the Upposition to attract attention to this

moral conscience of the people, that the guilty in this latter case will receive less condemnation? No! thousands of yoices answer all over the province, a thousand times, No! ‘True, both are offences against human and divine law, but the sin of Robert A. Strong was one committed under great temptation—was furced on him by unfortunate circumstances. But what ex- ‘tenuation can be offered for the other

‘scandal—one that is almost without a par- ‘allel in the history of this Is'and? None, iwhatever. There were no inducements worthy of misleading any man. All the lattractions of a happy hume and a loving family should have been bands of steel to ‘bind this married man to the paths of | virtue.

Mr. Peters talked about the expense of ‘the Commission investigating the defal- | cations in the Land Office, and insinuated

their work in order to draw a larger amount

lof public money ; but expensive as will be hat Commission, we doubt very much if it

| will cost the country any more than the andal he is engaged in defending,

Entertainment at Pownal.

_ THE entertainment and pie social, given in Pownal Hall by the Blooming Hope Lodge, on Tuesday evening last, was a de- cided success. The night was fine, and the roads in good condition. The Hall was crowded to overflowing, many being unable to procure seats. The choir began the evening's amusement by singing the **Tem- perance Greeting Song,” and the entertain- ment throughout was well rendered. The singing was much appreciated, especially the solo by Miss Edith M. Wood, entitled ‘* The Home that used to Be,” which she sang to a charming old Scotch melody. The readings were well selected and amus- ing, and the audience laughed long and heartily when the organist. Mr. J. B. Dockendortf, read ** Phillip’s First Baby;” and Mr. Layten McCabe, in his reading, cried so perfectly, that the unfeeling audience roared again. The programme came to an end at the conclusion of ** God Save the Queen” by the cheir, after which the pies were sold. Mr. Richard Smith was the auctioneer, as well as the chairman of the evening, and, thanks to his ready wit and well-timed humor, the people were kept in a happy frame of mind, and the pies seld high. After the sale of pies, be- gan the most amusing part of all, namely, the eating of the pies with whatever partner chance selected. Then was to be seen some laughable combinations. The widow rejoiced in the attentions of a youthful partner, and could laugh at her younger friend, who had a hard time keeping quiet the children of the man that chance had thrown in her way. Friend met foe, and settled their petty squabbles by the aid of a consoling pie, and became friends again. Over fifty pies were sold, and, notwith- standing their large dimensions, failed to supply the demand. The best of order prevailed throughout, and, in selecting Mr. Smith as chairman, we had the “ right man in the right place.” Much thanks is due to the Excelsior Lodge, of Pownal, for the large number of pies which they fur- nished, and we only lovk forward to a hke social on their part to enable us to return the compliment.
