A BRIEF REVIEW.
Orrawa, May 2. This afternoon at three o'clock, His Ex- cellency the Governor-General proceeded in state te the Parliament Building, and the members of the House of Commons, having been summoned to the Chamber of the Senate, His Excellency was please! to prorogue the Third Session of the Fifth Parliament of the Dominion of Canada! with the following
SPEECH :
Honorable Gentlemen of the Senaie : Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
In relieving you of the arduous labors which the present session of Parliament has imposed on you, I rejoice that Iam able to congratu- late you on the number of important and use- tul measures which have resulted from your deliberations,
I have reason to hope that the authority which you have conferred on my government will enable them to conclude an arrangement for effective steam communication with Europe and with Asia, wheceby the trade aid commerce of Canada will be widely ex- cended and the traffic passing over her lines of communication greatly developed. —
You have again made liberal provision for extending the railway facilities of the Domin- ion and for increasing their efficiency. :
The Act relating to the Electoral Franchise will, I believe, be found an important im- provement tending to economy and certainty in the administration of that branch of the law.
The measure by which the system of speedy trials for criminals has been extended to the Maritime Provinces and is likely to prove a valuable addition to our criminal procedure.
It is gratifying to know that your address referring to the boundaries of Ontario will lead to the early, settlement of the principal
uestion which has remained unsettled to the
nt time between that Province ind the
ominion, in a manner entirely satisfactory to all concerned.
The amendment of the laws relating to copyright will, it is hoped, remove some of the embarrassments under which the printers and publishers of Canada have labored for some years past, without doing injustice to authors in this or other countries.
You have provided for greater efficiency and economy in the postal service, for giving greater facilities for the settlement of our lands in the Northwest Territories, and for increasing the safeguards of life and property on our ships.
Many of the other measures, although of a minor character, will be found of great use- fulness in copducting the affairs of the admin- istration.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
You have liberally provided for the various requirements of the public service.
Honoroble Gentlemen of the Senate ;
Gentlemen of the House of Commors :
In taking leave of you, I congratulate you on the indications of prosperity which appear in all parts of Canada, and on the increasing revenue, which promises amply to meet the

The finan- cial condition of the parish is bright and encouraging, and it furnished room for congratulation on the part of the rector and people. The wardens and vestrymen for the past year were unanimously re-elected, the place of ,the late W. Sandersongbeing filled by the appointment of Mr. Lathard. The meeting was unanimous in expressing regret at the loss the parish sustained in the removal by death of Mr. Sanderson, whose memory will ever be cherished by Church of England people in Georgetown. After the transaction of further necessary business, the meeting adjourned.

A hearty vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the churchwardens of the past year for the very efficient manner in which they had dis-

Parnell Commission resumed its sittings on Friday last. Mr. Parnell was called to give evidence. He took his seat fn the wituess chair and gave his testimony in a clear voice and deliberate manner. He testified that he did not know Peter De- laney was connected with the amnesty as- sociation. He never heard of an attempt being made on Mr. Justice Lawson’s life. He was never a member of a secret society. He had urged boycotting under certain con ditions ; never intimidation. The alleged interview with LeCaron in 1881 might have occurred. He had not said he believed that only force would redeem Ireland. He never suggested revolution nor discussed means by which revolution could be effect- ed. He had not been asked to authorize the payment of £20,000 to remove officials. He never sanctioned outrages. He did not know of payments for the commital of outrages. He did not approve of the suggestion by Egan that Earl Cowper, Mr. Forster, Under-Secretary Burke, Justice Lawson and many others be removed, Egan

~ | SUMMARY REPORT OF THE SERMON PREACHED
BY REVEREND PROTHER FRED. E. J. LLOYD, AT ST. PETER'S CHURCH, CHARLOTTETOWN, ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATAL Day, 1889: ‘*Honor all men, love the Brotherhood, fear God, honor the King,” 1 Peter 2, 17. Ir isa amon-place to say that man comes int ihe world endowed with an in- dividuality. Man is the unit of the family, as the family is the unit of the state. In this individua’ ,, we find almost boundless capacities for gvod or evil; but they can only be exercised by being brought into contact with something external to the individual. So Adam’s capacity for enjoy- ing an uninterrupted communion with a person was exercised in his relation to God, but God’s proper sphere was not upon earth, and Adam’s capacities required con- stant exercise, andso Eve was given to him, and children were born to them. Then began at once to be put into practice the virtues of love, sy:npathy, tenderness, trustfulness and mutual forbearance, and in his relationship to others man found a ready sphere for the exercise of those wondrous capacities with which he found himself to be endowed. Societies foliowed in a perfectly natural sequence, and so we find the Patriarchal Church and then the Jewish Church each issuing from the other, as the first had, in all probability, arisen from the society of an individual family. Then the Christian religion blessomed forth from the roots already laid and in it we possess the most perfect Society the world has ever seen. Societies, whether religious or no, are a necessity, not oaly of our own time and age, but that they have always existed is proof enough that they have been found so necessary among all peoples aud in allages. They are the spheres in which man may, if he wish, find ample occasion for the exercise of all the God-like virtues which beautify and adorn his char- acter.
The question has often arisen within my mind when viewing such societies as the Masonic or the Order to which you and I have the happiness of belonging, how can it be necessary to organize societies, separate and distinct from the Christian Church, in order to put into practice those very virtues which the Christian religion is intended to teach and to inculcate. Chiis- tian men and women at the time of their initiation into the Church of Christ bind themselves either in their own persons or in those of others, by the most solemn obli- gations, but their laxity to fulfil these obli- gations is alas notorious. On the other hand men _ bind themselves __to- rether by the assumption of voluntary re- sponsibilities, and having assumed them, no power on earth can induce} them to shirk them. It*is not sufficient to reply that in one case the submission is voluntary, and in the other, to some extent at least, forced. No, I believe the reason is to be sought elsewhere—that it is much more profound and radical than this. The great religious society of the Christian Church, while it exists to stimulate and develop those natural graces which, as I have said, exist in the invidual man, ia doing this keeps an eye ever looking on to a future not so much in time as when time shall have become a thing of,the past. But while I say this I am not forgetful of the fact that the truest Christian wili be and must be the truest citizen and the truest man. Societies which are not distinctly religious in the common acceptation of the term, such as Oddfellowship, on the other hand exist for the purpose of helping men to realize their individuality and then their individual responsibility to their brother men, and this more with regard to the present than either to the past or future. Men are taught therein a profound reverence for the creator, the Great Father of all, then to exercise his powers to the utmost for the good of his fellows, and last of all, to build up his own character there- by. In this comparison between the Chris- tian Church aud secular societies we may find a probable explanation for the enigmas which often perplex the mind of the earnest seeker after truth in view of certain results or want of results which flow ‘from the Christian Church. We so often hear the ery that the Christian Church is and always has been a hindrance in the way of progress, a stumbling block to the best and highest civilization; those who raise it being forget- ful of the fact that it exists not so much or chiefly to civilize the world (although it has accomplished a glorious worx even in that direction) as to prepare its adherents who bear in their persons and lives the image of the Great Creator, for a future state in which they will be brought into the im- mediate presence of that Creator, to know Him, to serve Him, and enjoy him forever. But here again it may be necessary to re- mind you that the true{Christian is typified with the most absolute perfection by the figure of the Good Samaritan, and that one
of his highest and noblest privileges is to
pour the oil and wine of human sympa-
thy and brotherliness into the wounds of his brothers and sisters.
Brethren, beloved, our privileges in
belonging to such a society as our own are indeed great and glorious, as are our re- sponsi bilities. of being connected with it, I probably found myself on many occsions uttering 4 mean- ingless cry of objection, with multitudes of others, to secret societies, which neither | nor they, from the veryfmature of the case,

He did not know of the existence of the Invincibles’ conspiracy until after their arrest in 1883. He had always regarded the Phenix Park murders as the greatest possible calamity to Ireland.
