Such a man should be consistent and go to the country he thinks best. While he (the speaker) thought ¢ anada would be all the better if a few first-class funerals were to oceur, he thought if Provi dence spared the men in question Canadians should spare them too. anada never seemed to him so fine as when he landed at Van- couver, with its sparkling water, wild fowl and snow-tipped monntains with fringes o! green trees at their base. The scene was tht grandest he had witnessed in all his travels, and when he went on board the train to start east he was best equipped railway he had seen on all the five continents he had visited. (Loud applause.) Canada never seemed go fair before, because he felt that it was his own country. All Canadians could have the sameSfeeling. (Ap- plause). The doctor then alluded to Kings- ton, saying that as he had met old friends all along the line ke felt that he was a citizen of no mean city. He referred to the gree schemes which had been consummated ia Kingston while he was away, and said it re-

over was always young, and so atl to young and ald by a magnetism, that was genial and irresistable.

He had been asked while away, what Re taliation meant, and he replied that he could answer for people so far distant, but there were two things he was sure of. First, Canada would settle the question of its future on the merits of the case. It would not be bullied or bribed. Second, Canadians loved and reapected the people of the United States, —(notiall politicians, however,not even all poti- ticians of their own country)—and they) want- ed to have no friction with them in their elose

not

relations. He believed the people of the great republic loved and respected the people of Canada, but he also believed they would

neither love nor respect Canadians if they could be either bribed or bullied. (Loud Ap

plause.) He wanted no higher position than to be a citizen of Canada. He spoke of men’s daty to the community and to humanity, saying that during his trip he had learned to love humanity more than ever. Ne matter what the color of skin or language spoken, he foand all were willing t listen to the laims of justice and mercy.

‘In our own nation,” said the principal, ‘* we have a country and a people, too, of the right stock. In all my travels I never saw brawn ier men or bigger heads than I have seen since I left Vancouver. With such a people. if we can't make a country, then God help the country.

into churches, but the fundamental questions 1 re: What kind of a man is he? What kind of a citizen is he? and what sort of a man is hein hisown family? These were his views as to the church's place in a com- munity. The question of what denomination did a man belong to was a small matter. It was a small matter whether a man was Pro- testant or Roman Catholic, what political party he belonged to or whether he was bonus or anti-bonus.

Principal Grant is evidently the right kind of a Canadian. His native County of Pictou may well be proud of him as one of the ablest and best representatives of the thoughts and feelings of the people of this country.

Public Opinion in the States.

Many think that a man’s

real thoughts and feelings are often most

truly expressed in his unguarded moments. If this be so, it may be that the applause with which a Boston audience received the spread-eagle Annexation talk a. W.h. &. Murray was a better indication of the sen- timent of the people of the United States on the point, than even the highly and carefully wrought out articles in some of the daily papers. However this may be, it is agreed on all hands that it doesn’t matter much what tle opinion of the States is as to annexing Canada. The destiny. of Canada is, under Providence, in the con- trol might, it is true, have inclined the people of Canada vepublicanism, the yielding to American eagle of their half of the continent. But, up to this period in the history of the conti- nent, circumstances have been decidedly adverse to it. The eagle has all along shown the spirit of a very greedy bird, In respect to reciprocity of trade, in respect to the Fisheries, in respect to territorial lines, in respect to the unfulfilled promise of a rebate to our fish exporters, —in respect to things

Sabbath Schoo! Entertainment. Tue Sabbath School Entertainment held in the basement of the Methodist Brick Church on Wednesday evening, 26th inst., was in evefy respect a grand success. The large Sunday Schoolroom was completely filled with a highly appreciative audience. The programme was long, but it contained such a variety of good things, that no por- tion fof it could well be omitted. There was an anthem by the choir, ‘‘ Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men”; piano duet by Misses Findley ard Lewis; a song, ‘* Ring out the Bells,” by the school; a perform- ance by the Amateur Band; recitations, '*That’s So, My Boys,” by the by eight young ladies and

dings, songs by the school, . solo by Mrs. S. C. Moore, which was en sored; cornet solo by Mr. C. P. Fletcher; a glee, **Come Where the Lilies Grow,” by Misses Daisy Lewis, Moore and Collings, which was considered the piece of the even- ing, and a number of other performances. The time occupied was over two hours, and the attention of all present was held to the close.

TROUBLE comes to all—comes at all sea- sons. Even the Christmas feast is sad- dened at many a board by the angel of death. But the blessed time is full of comforting suggestions for the bereaved ones.

In this counection we have to mention the death of Mrs. Bambrick, and to ex- press the thanks of her parents and hus- band for the sympathy and _ kindness evinced by their friends and neighbors.

In this city, on the 27th inst., at the resi- dence of his son-in-law, Mr, John McGillivray, aved 89 years. May his soul rest in peace.

“On the 11th inst., at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. John J. Mills, of Bay For- tune, after a short illness of inflammation of the lungs, Elizabeth Davison, widow of the late James Coftin, Esq., of St. Peter's Har- bor, in the 76th year of her age.

At South Lake, P. E. I., Elizabeth 5., daughter of James and Elmira Needham, and wife of Alex. Fraser, Esq., in the 35th year of her age, leaving a husband, two children and numerous friends to mourn their heavy loss. Our departed sister was baptized in East Boston, about 18 years ago, by the Rev. D. ®. Cheney, and married to Mr. Fraser in 1879, at which time she became a member of the East Point Baptist Church. Her Chris- tien life throughout was most exemplary. Although not long wholly confined to her bed, yet the last five years of her life were spent in pain, often intense, and without one hour's intermission. But she bore all with marked submission to her Heavenly Father’s will, only lunging as the end drew near * to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.’’ Her words upon the bed of death will long be re membered, Though dead she yet speaketh.
