St. Peter’s Boys’ Schools.

a

Last EVENING the Schools in connection with St. Peter’s Church, Rochferd Square, were publicly closed for the summer vaca- tion by His Lordship Bishop Binney, in presence of a large number of the parents of the scholars, and of others interested. The proceedings were conducted in the Boys’ Schoolroom, a large, well lighted apart- ment, and which was very tastefully de- corated for the occasion. The Rev. Mr. Hodgson gave a short address, in which he related the history of the School, now in its eighth year. He stated the whole number of scholars to have been 120, ten of whom have matriculated at Windsor.

The examinations had been conducted during the closing days of the term, by written papers ; the results were announced by Messrs. Bambrick and Wilson, and the prizes were presented by the Bishop to the

successful competitors. PRIZE LIST. GENERAL PRIZES

Fahad eae

Wounded Vanity.

In our issue of Monday last, we referred to the close of Mr. Lathern’s ministerial labors in Charlottetown. We expressed our regret that this gentleman, who has

| made himself so generally pepular, both by

his ability and modest demeanor, will seon leave us. We mentioned the fact that the service of Sunday morning was conducted by the Rev. Howard Sprague, and that an able sermon was preached by him, and, also, that the Rev. Mr. Lathern delivered his valedictory in the evening, to a very large congregation. But it never struck us that we were guilty of the unpardonable sin of omitting the name of Mr. C. P. Fletcher, ‘‘ Leader Methodist Choir,” in connection with the services. As a consequence of our sin of omission, Mr. C. P. Pletcher, ‘‘ Leader Methodist Choir,” has rushed into print and threatens the ter- rors of his righteous indignation if we do not speedily and sincerely repent .of our error. All our readers are acquainted with the fable of “ the Kingdom of Apes,” and cannot fail,to associate Mr. C. P. Fletcher with the King of the Apes, who was in- formed by “ Plain Dealer” that he seemed ‘““to be butadignified sort ofan Ape.” When we alluded to the inability of choirs gener- ally to make appropriate selectionsof hymns for particular occasions, we little thought that the mantle of Handel had fallen upon the shoulders of this C. P. Fletcher. It did not occur to us that Sims Reeves, who has been so suceessful ef late as a leader of concerts in England, had a rival who is willing to dispute with him the claim of being the representa- tive choir leader. Mr. C. P. Fletcher has been guilty of practising a little pious fraud upon those who have honored him with a perusal ef his epistle, in suppressing the mest important part of the truth about the selection of the verses sung at the close ef the discourse on Sunday night. The selection of the hymn, we are told, was in accord with the wishes of Mr. Lathern. This may be so, but we epine that the rev. gentleman must have experienced a shock of astonishment at the close of his very touching address, in which he alluded to

him to the congregation of Prince street Church, when Mr. ©. P. Fletcher intro- duced his voluntary, as a sort of triumphant Hallelujah Chorus, to give the rev. gentle- man a good ‘send off.” The pious fraud of Mr. C. P. Fletcher consists in trying to convey the idea that the simple hymn, which presents such a modest appearance in print, was in no way altered or trans- formed by the tune to which it was sung. On the contrary, the words “we will rejoice” were sung five times in succession, and then repeated five times more, making ten times in all before they were dropped. The peculiar and in- appropriate tune selected by Mr. C. P. Fletcher reminded us of the one very much sung in the Sonthern States, which begins with: ‘‘Send Down Sal”— **Send Down Sal” —‘‘ Send Down Salva- tion;”-—‘‘Sal. is coming,” ‘‘Sal. is coming,” ** Salvation is coming.”

We are willing to let Mr. C. P. Fletcher “rejoice” over a typographical error in our short article of Monday, which made reasonable read seasonable. We might in- dulge in a little triumph if we were meanly disposed to take advantage of a typo- graphical error and quote a line of his pro- duction, which reads, ‘‘ Why did be not quote the words ;” but we know that the errer is the printers, and therefore pass it by as such. The only suggestion that we have to make to Mr. C. P. Fletcher, with a view of gratifying his self-sufficiency, is to perch himself upon a stand in the pulpit of the church immediately in front of the choir, and grind out his choice selections with a barrel organ. He is evidently trad- ing upon the merits of the fine choir of the Methodist Church in the past for distinction when he signs himself ‘‘ Leader Methodist Choir.” The large, respectable and intellig- ent congregation that worships in the Prince Street Methodist Church has, for twenty years previous to his assuming the Leadership, been accustomed to excellent and superior music.

CABLE FROM WHITEHAVEN TO SABLE Istanp,—We are glad to learn that the Min- ister of Marine and Fisheries, Mr. Pope of Prince Edward Island, will inaugurate his tenure ef office by carryiag out this almost necessitous connection. In reply to a question put in the Senate, last session at Ottawa, by Hon. Dr. Almon, of Halifax, the Dominion Government promised that they would lay a cable from Whitehaven to Sable Island. When Mr. James Whitman, of the White- haven Railway connection, mooted this idea, some years ago, some thought he was vision- ary.——Colchesten Sun, June 25.

Methodist Conference.

om Thursday, @ noon, tle Conference Prayer Meeting was held, Most of the ministers were present, besides many of the people from the city. it was a hal- Committees met in the after- Yesterday mee * R. Knight, M. A., preached his ‘* trial ser- mon,” and this acne, Rev. W. R. Pop- yer. Ministerial character was examined with closed doors. It was a matter ter gratitude that no charge was preferred against any member of the Conference. Almost al] the Conference Committees have been formed. Rev. S. F. Huestis, President of the Nova Scotia Conference, took his seat on the platform this morning. ASTONISHING LIBERALITY—$4,000 SUSCRIBED

IN A FEW MINUTES.

For a few years past the Missions 7 Board has been extending its operations too rapidly for the means at its disposal. Con- sequently a debt of over $60,000 has! incurred, This threatens to seriously crip- ple the work of the Church in many depart- ments. It is preposed to raise in the s * Annual Conferences a sum of about $200,000 as a Taanksgiving fund, to pay the debt and extend the work of the Church. The other Conferenc2s have already taken action in the matter. Unanimously and heartily they have fallen in with the scheme. Most liberal amovats have been promised by by the min’sters representing great sacrifice and noble devete!ness to their work. Dr. Suther’and, Mission Secretary, and Rev. J. Shaw, President of the Toronto Confer- ence, are here as a deputation on beha’* of this proposed fund. The Conference enters heartily into their plans. This morning the matter was brought to a practical point by opening a subscription list. As the brethren announced the amount they were prepared te give, they made short speeches of an experimental nature. Often during the service, as some aged brother spoke of his devotion to the cause of God and the favors which he had received, there was scarcely a dry eye. The feeling was quite overpowering. Some of the eld men declared that they had never ex- perienced anything like it. Over twenty of the ministers promised $100 each—one of them going as high as $150, and severa of them to $110. About twenty more of them promised $50 each. $200 were prom- ised by the ordination class of seven,and $30 were promised by four candidates. Ina very short time about 80 ministers sub- scribed the noble sum of $4,000. Such generosity surprised everybody. Spon- taneously the Doxology was called for by many brethren, and most lustily sung.
