Sir Charles Dilke.

Sir Charles Dillte has been asked by ilw Forest. of Dr an Lll)°l’ltlB to N’ ,i,,.',,. C,,,,.iid.,i,.- at the in-xt general (.1.-,;.vi.m in England. and hss taken a furtniglil‘. to unlike up his mind on the gulj or. A L llldfill correspond--~l say:-' :—“To.l:- itililletliatft calling upon his |i:|I]l' Wlwll there is is vacancy in is p..p;,z,u- cnvstitu--ii<‘y is 8 significant f.(-t indicative of one phase of the peculiar po.-iiinli in which this emin

ent stntr-snizin stands. There is no douht. that, if he pleased to come for- ward. he could be returned for one M R (I z-n liirgo constituencies. Hisrdl} a week, certainly not 8 lnonth, passer without. coinuiuoicatiou being opent-0 with him in behalf of constituencioaa in search of cindidattcs. A year or ",-0 ago be publicly declared that lit

would not re-enter Parliament unti

ho had cl»-sired his name and fame from the blight under which they have faded these long ‘live ye-urs. It “iv said at the same time that he was pur- suing investigations, the result of which, when made known, would re lisliilitatc him in public opinion. But nothing more has been heard of at

undemiking which, if successfully csr riivd out, would, in a single diiy, make Sir Charles this most popular and one of the most powerful men in Eng-

land."

Holding OI nribes.

In a sermon. recently preached iv the Methodist church, Fredericton, th- pastor, Rev. J . Shenton said in refer- q-rice-. to “ shaketh his hand from hold- ing of bribes,” that 8 man who took - l:ril'ti- was not a fit person to exercisi the franchise. Such a vote did no- express the opinion, if the elector hat: an opinion, but simply the value of the motley pwid. Such men held man- hocd, conscience, and independence in t-hcihid of the highest. briber.

The tnen who sought the suffrage-i did not want to spend money, but being anxious to be elected for pirty purposes, and finding that votes could be bought, took advantage of the dr‘|N(|l'ttl'Z"(l state of the people to ac

coinplish their purpose. It was not it- our on dit that such is state of things existed in this D iminion, that mom-_v «could lie, and was used to debuuch thi- i-f—ctors. Ami thu only rr-inedy sector-.d t-.- b-, for each mi-1' every candidate ti» r--fuse to purchase votes, and if HIP:

would not vote unless bought, let them stay at home, and the country would cuff r no loss. And “specially should the churches teach and c-‘tr s ion met. practice, tli.-.t no imrruption should h

toze-rated. . The chrivinn “ shakcth his hands from holding of bribes."-— Progress.

The following from the Montreal Witness is quit» applicable to some. of the ('8fldid‘|Y.O*8 down here :—

the case of the latter gentleman. Mr. Dyer is 8 new man in politics, excvp'

Sermon by Rev. Mr. Carrutlicrs.

The R.-sv. J tines Cari-uthers. pastor of

St. James’ Church, is delivering on Sall-

lwh evenings ii serii s of li:ctlll't:a on Bible characters. Last Sabbath the subject was “ Pilate." Having given it sketch of his lifgl he pruciiedid tn [peak on llll cllaracter, and took as it text, Malt. XXVI}.

‘J-l, " He took Water and washed his hit: ds before the multitude, Baylllg. I M11

illllucrnl," etc.

He characteriz (1 his conduct. as worse tlixu Ill .t of .ludii.~i, wotsc than that of th- priest and p cpl:-.. He was the only csllll nnin in that court, and what he did h- did with coolness, calmness and c-

lib» ration. He put u. on nthvts the ca lune they c--ul-l not commit. without his pcrlnis.i n, and sln.wct.l by his act that lie was CHW-sldly and hypocritical. We.

said the prcnclier, speak of Judas being llrlbcd, for thirty pieces of silver he sold his master. But Pilate also was bribed not in the palm, as wits Judus, but bribed my politic tl a.inblt.ion. Sheiir force of cir- culustiiilces led him to say, "Ilind no iiult in this imu,” but when the Jews cried out that they knsw him, they knew‘ just where to put. the lance. “If thou let this than go thou art no frieiidmf Caesar." Th.-it was the fatal st..lb. He W18 sensitive B8 to his pilitical reputation, us did n 1. want to lose his situation and l|l-'- lilude of action ll batlh "Aiiclelit iuil

ill-idem." The lessons the preacher drciv from the life sud character of this nun were, .

1. \Vhos.»ever does ivickedncss through

others is equally guilty with them. Nay, he is in--re guilty thuii t ey in that he adds the transgression of trying 0 soil this char-cter of -tliers li-ytliro ing t e blame on them. There are men who for political reasons think they gain by wink- lug st evil. But any man who can lend ‘uis aid to stop wickedness and ill not is e.iiu.-illy guilty. No man c ll wash his hands of transgressions which he has per- mitted, itud which so far as he was cull- corned ht? could stop if he would. 2. Evil which men commit is not dis- tributivcly b rue. Mini do not take a dividend nt in. If is great evil is done in ii comuiunity where free citiznns make the laws, milks the magistrates, and unslte the politics, no man that winks ii: i' or consents to it can say he has no sharc or a small share in i'-. ‘When wick- eoilcas la (lune all men are bound to re- si~t it Unless they have resisted so the best of their ability they are guilty. No man can call for the basin and water and .-as-ll his hanus clean, unless he takes the further step of resisting unto the end.
