However, in order to give citizens an opportunity to consider the bill and to vote intelligently thereon, it was decided to adjourn the diseussion until to-night. {ct is hoped that in the interim the bill has been carefully thought over and that every tax-payer will attend to-night’s meet- ing.

Anniversary Sermon.

SYNOPSIS OF REV. MR. SHENTON’S ANNIVER SARY SERMON, PREACHED LAST EVENING EFFORT.

\

| 1 MASTERLY | We give below a synopsis of the sermon | preached in the Methodist Brick Church | last evening, by Rey. Job Shenton, on the | occasion of the iunniversary of the Sunday | School Missionary Society. The rev. gen- ! tleman took his text from Luke 10, 25-24.

| He said

‘‘Say not thou, what is the cause that the | former days were better than these, for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this. Solomon's words agree with those of Christ in he text Is that claim just, that the best and wisest men of the ancient world regarded the days of this obscure Galilean peasant as the most glorious of all days ? There can be no question here. The first thought is, that Christ was the central figure of the world’s hope before His advent. He was not known, not appreciated by the world, He was the 1 theme of the sacred books of the Hebrews. Solomon in his song, David in psalms, and Isaiah in his prophecy spoke of Him. _Pro- phecy declared His glory, from the promise of Eden till the closing of the prophecies of the advent by Simeon. History was written for Him. Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua in Hebrew history. Babylon, Persia, Macedon, tome, ina universal language, and in the universal dominion of the civilized world pre- pared for the morning song of redemption, ‘* Peace and goodwill to men.” Prophets de- sired to live in His day, Moses, Elijah, Isaiah; kings, &s Abraham, David, Hezekiah and 1 Deny this, then account tor the lan- Then Christianity is not g It bases its claims upon its adaptation to the world, and on the power to save men from sin. Second thought—‘these days are the most glorious of ali days.” All that made Christ's ministry so real, Ris presence so sympathic, His religion so divine ; these are ours, for the last beautitude of the risen Christ was, ‘Bless- ed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Christianity never had so much consecrated talent in the ministry. Liv- ing men not named, but Wesley, Watsor, Astbury, McClintock in this church, whose mantles have fallen on their successors. Chal- mers, Spurgeon, Farrar, and others making the sky of the churches bright with light. Consecrated work Sabbath Schools meeting the growing want of the world. Every Sabbath ihe song arises, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David.’ Bible Societies circulating 200 millions of copies in 270 languages. Temperance societies based on the spirit of the gospel and the world’s conversion only to be complete when Christianity has made temperaiice 1. ¢., legal prohibiticn2a universally accepted faith, bene- volent societies like the good Samaritan with the hand and heart and purse to help, and teaching us, ‘Who is thy neighbor.’ Mission- ary work ameng scattered populations, the heathen of cities, or the heathen of uncivilized laud. Amid the snows of Greenland and the heats of Africa, the hoary superstitions of Asia, the praries and forests of America mis sionaries are laboring. The homage paid to Christianity in the world by men who deny the Divinity of Christ, the presence of religion in the world amid its opposition, the decays of other systems, the force of its conquests assert its Divine nature. Tha advance of discovery, of science can be traced to the gospel, schools, colleges, books, newspapers, the freedom of thought comes from the religion of Christ. Modern times are blessed by the advance of discovery and invention. Steamboats that almost bridge the oceans, the electric cables that bind in a band of iron the continents, electric wires carrying messages on wings of lightning, machinery touching every trade with iron fingers. These and other things too numerous to mention are results of the Christ- ian thought and culture. Thus, said the preacher, as he urged his hearers to accept this religion, are you blessed, and may be

made a blessing.”’ The sermon was a masterpiece of elo- quence and power. The annual mission-

ary meeting will be held this evening. —_ + <me «+ =

Death of Rey. J. A. McLean.

Tue Nova Scotia and New Brunswick papers have made distinct references to the death of Rey. J. A. McLean, pastor of the Baptist church of Hantsport, N. 8S. Mr. McLean was a native of Vernon River, P. E. Island, and resided in his native pro- vince until 1871 when he began his studies at Wolfville, N. S. He leit Newton Theological Seminary, Newton, Mass., in 1876 and settled at Falmeuth, Hants Co. He had previously been ordained at Pine where a revival had taken place under this ministry. In 1879 he settled at Bear River, N. 8., where a large number of converts were -added tothe church. In 1882 he accepted a call to Parrisboro, where he gained a good name for character and ability. In 1884 he removed to Hants- port, where he closed his work having been successful in winning men to faith. His death at the early age of 47 will be much lamented. His funeral was attended by thirteen ministers, all of whom paid warm tributes to the memory of their brother. Mr. McLean was one of those who honor the Island, their native province, by the best of liues.—Com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Waterworks Question.

Sir, —It appears that Councillors Crabbe, T. A. MeLean, A. A. McLean, Small and Kelly intend to remodel the constitution of the City Council altogether, on their own hook, with the help of the Legislature. This is pretty cheeky of them. Mr. Crabbe thinks the waterworks should be carried out as economically as possible, so do all the citizens; but he intimates that he and his party are the only persons to practice economy, and that commissioners mean large expenditures yearly. Now most peo- ple outside the above tive gentlemen enter- tain just the opposite opinion. In the first place the Council never can agree among themselves in any one thing. Now which of them are going to boss the water- works if the city hand the job over to them? What is the remuneration to be paid them or their Supervisor or Superin- tendent ? Probably more than the three Commissioners. Services rendered with- out proper compensation are generally not worth much. We don’t wantthem. Then, again, Mr. Crabbe’s qualification for elec- tors will neverdo. It has been decided that they must be confined to*property owners, who alone pay for the Water. But more than all, citizens of every city have been taught by dear experience that much corruption has always developed and will exist in spite of all the caution that may be used, and that where City Councils have the execution of heavy contracts in their own hands it becomes a mass of jobberies. Mr. R. R. Fitzgerald, the City Stipendiary, says he has been working hard forsome years to yet up a water company. It is well for the city that he hay never succeeded. Why should he who is receiving a good salary from the citizens wantto join a company tu make money out of them, for water or any other purpose‘ I believe he is an in- surance agent likewise, and our fire premiums are toohigh. Has he any taxab‘e property in the city ¢

It becomes all our property ownimg citi- zens to carefully look to their interests at this time, and to attend citizeus’ meetings ou this subject. But let the city have water without any unreasonable delay, and if the bill is not satisfactory let us have an- other bill that is.

Yours &c., PROPERTY OWNER. Charlottetown, April 18, 1887.

The Latest Trunk Mystery.

All day Wednesday an officer in citizen’s apparel stood watch over two trunks in the baggage room of the Fitchburg depot. The evening before they had come down on the express over the Cheshire road. They were common yellow tin trunks, but the bulging contents were kept from view by stout cords, which were wound around the covers several times, and there was some- thing suspicious about them. Early in the morning an employee in the baggage room thought he detected an unpleasant odor emanating from the direction occupied by the tranks in question. Instantly in his mind arose visions of dismembered corpses and the Preller-Maxwell -mystery. As these. thoughts crowded upon _ the now terrified trunk inspector, the stench seemed to grow stronger, and the railroad officials were made acquainted with the facts. The trunks were immediately isolated, and the railroad nfen shut them- selves up to discuss the situation. After a spirited and excited meeting it was unani- mously voted to put the matter into the hands of the local Hawkshaws, with in- structions to keep the facts from the press. Several officers immediately visited the baggage room. The trunks were carefully examined. No traces of blood could be found, Strands of the rope were now pulled to pieces, and men who had ex- amined rope on several eventful occasions declared that it was not manufactured in this state. Then, from the appearance of the knots, it seemed pretty evident that they had been tied ina hurry, and by a nervous hand. Then, again, why were the trunks locked, and tied besides? Here was a question which weighed heavily on the officers’ minds. But to cap the climax, some of the officers detected the foul odors. Others did not, but laid their lack of appreciation in this direction to severe colds. In the meantime others shook the trunks for further clews, but nobody pre- sent wanted to open them and settle the mystery. They were waiting for the medi- cal examiner, who, they said, was vested with the powarof breaking open the trunks if he so desired. In due season that official arrived. After sniffing the air for a few moments the doctor came to the conclusion that there was ‘‘nothing in it” and took his depaiture. Meanwhile the reporters had heard of the mystery, and were busily engaged in explorations. The general man- ager seemed angered because the news- papers had the story in their evening edi- tions, and summoned a subordinate to teil him who ‘‘gave it away,” but the latter expressed ignorance on that point. Until 7.30 o'clock that evening did the officer guard the trunks. About that time three men, John Taylor, William Forrest and James Jellison, made their appearance at the baggage room with checks calling for the suspicious trunks so jealously guarded. Here were just the men that the railroad offi- cials has been looking for all day. They were politely invited inside to identify their baggage. Once within, the officer ordered the men to open their trunks, with which command they fortwith complied. Then it was that the officer and the rest of the men in the room made the trunks rattle with the laughter which convulsed them, for exposed to view were nothing but the workmen’s wearing apparel, together with three sets of stone-cutters’ tools, which re- presented their vocation. They had come down from Marlboro, N. H.,and were going to Wesley, R. {., where they expect to find employment. —-Boston Herald.

Protest against Coercion.

A large meeting of Irish citizens and sympathizers was held in Montreal last week, to protest against the Coercion Bil, now before the British Parliament. Speeches were delivered Beaugrand, J. J. Curran, M. P., and others. The following resolutions unanimously adopted :

First—That the citizens of Montreal de- nounce the proposed legislation as subveisive ‘of the most cherished principles of the British

Constitution, as the tyrannical sippression of

‘the liberties of the Irish people, and a measure destructive of every hope of good feeling and unity between the MBs of the sister isles.

Second—That if this unjustifiable and ex- asperating measure of coercion shall have the effect of driving the people of Ireland beyond the limits of constitutional agitation the people of England will hold the author of this measure responsible for so lamentable a result.

Third—That as citizens of Montreal, we call upon our representatives of the Parliament of Canada, the Legislature of Quebec and the City Council of Montreal, to give fitting ex- pression to the indignant feeling of the people of the Dominion, province and city against the proposed measure and their unswerving sympathy with Ireland in her aspiratioa for Home Rule.
