LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, |
$1n,—In reply to your correspendent of last evebing, writing over the name ‘*Citizen,” I would like to say a few words. is an insult to your general
the absurdity of his deductions, as the smatlest of our schoolboys onght to be abl to see it without any assistance. He says he doubts that the water we are gvoing to get into the city is going to be good or better than pump water, and he gives as his reason for doubt:
1. That‘‘several years ago,” in the remote past, he found the water was not good in London, therefore he thinks water brought into Charlottetown now would not be good. I would like to know from which of the many systems of waterworks in London he got his sample, and if it was not mixed. Also where the pump was that he sampled, Of course I am taking it for granted that this visit above mentioned was made after the great fire in 1666.
2. He visited St. John’s, N. F., probably on his way back from London, and found the water was not good for drinking there. Therefore he wisely concludes the water would not be good in Charlottetown.
3. He says ‘‘ten or twelve years ago’ the | water in Halifax was not good, and again concludes that, water would not be good in Charlottetown.
4, Boston water had insects in it, which have since disappeared, (somebody wrote him this) therefore, he thinks, water would not be good in Charlottetown now. Does he mean to say that there are no insects in the decoction of old tobaccu pipes, worn out shoes and black muck that we get dealt out to us by the bucketful; or is it so bad that the insects cannot live init! If not, what else prevents them? Now, in all the wanderings of your correspondent, I never notice that he mentions having trie] the water for washing in. If he had, he would probably, after such an experiment, have liked it better. This very wise correspon- dent of yours then winds up his letter with a very apt proverb—‘*‘out of the frying pan into the fire.” Well, 1 do not know about the frying pan, but under our present sys- tem, | am sure of the fire, and lots of it. We then havea threatin a P. S, that he will return to this question. Would you kindly suggest that he woula wait for cooler weather, or send his article to Grip, as it would be more in their line. It is absurd enough to be funny.
Yours truly, PROGRESS.
P. S.—I had almost forgotten to ask your correspondent which of the cities, if ‘any, that he has visited, has given up their waterworks and gone back to the pumps
P.
Church of England
(From the Hal fax Herald.)
A special memorial was p:esented to the synod from E. J. Hodyson, of Charlotte- town, ‘‘that in this diocese the custom, for which ecclesiastical sanction is claimed, of burying unbaptized persons in churchyards which have been solemnly dedicated and set apart for the burial of the faithful de- parted, and that such unbaptized persons have been interred with such prayers and holy services as individual clergymen in their sole discretion have seen fit to use ” There was much more on the same subject which elicited a spirited debate. The A:ch- deacon of P. E. 1. championed the doings and orderly couduct of the church in Prince Edward Island, and was very sure that nothing contrary to the spirit of the church’s system had taken place in his Archdeaconry. It was simply a whim of some man on the subject. Norman Ritchie objected to the appointment of a committee uniess some specific charge was made in- stead of a bundle of sweeping assertions. Charles Palmer protested against the house taking up the question, There was more difficulty in the question than we cared to face. The Rev. F. R. Murray thought that the rule of the church was plain on the subject and it was not a matter of idea and taste of individual clergy but the clear rule of the church on the subject that was at issue. The Rev J. J. Ritchie, thought that it would be dangerous to take up the question. It should be left to the Bishop as a matter of discipline, for if the laws of the church are violated let the necessary discipline in the church be used. The Rev. G. W. Hodgson recommended that in the absence of fuller particulars the memorial be laid on the table, and this was carried.
CHURCH OF FNGLAND TEMPERANCE.
The report of the temperance committee was read. It stated that since the las’ meeting of synod a growing interest was observable in all parts of the diocese. Spe- cial attention was cailed to the activity shown in mauy of the Halifax parishes and of the importance of the work of the Church of England coffee room in town. Several recommendations were made, among which were that the clergy favored parochial branches ; that a sermon be annually preached on the subject ; that the Canada temperance act be adopted where it can be enforced.
THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS committee report was read. Canon Dart reported against any alteration in the con- dition under which the pension was receiv- ed, and that all holders of certificates must take up a collection for the fund every year. The general committee reported a decided improvement in the number of parishes contributing, and especially that P. E Island had sent in collections from two churches. During the year there had been an increase of $222 in the collections anc offerings; a tlight increase in the premium: of the clergy, but these were counterbal- anced by a deficit of $372 in interest on in- vestments. The charges upon the fund yearly were $2,520, and the receipts a litth above this.
THE ENDOWMENT FUND
fund showed a capital of $151,546. The report on the organization of parishes showed that Nova Scotia had done a cum- inendable work in the formation and pro- pagation of the ageneies known as church guilds and the influence of the committee had even extended to the far west, from whence had come applications for the government «f these societies. The most beneficial results tad taken place in parishes where these organizations existed, and there was @ recommendation that these agencies he more widely diffused over the diocese, The report of the board of FOREIGN MISSION,S
showed that a brighter era was dawning on the church of Nova Scotia. The amounts received this year were much larger although some of the churches had treated with apparent contempt the appeal of the Provincial Synod, the Bishops, and the Board of Missions.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
report stated that the establishment of a central teachers association had really become a power in the diocese... Papers had been read and model classes given for the last two winters and the meetingz had been successful in arousing an esprit de corps among the teachers of the various schools. The Committee recommended that all Sunday Schools be affiliated with the society, and that they take a greater inter- est in raising funds for missionary pur- poses. It was regretted that so many had reroained cold and indifferent te the good work done by the association. Unity was required in this.as in many other purposes.
The election of delegates to the provin- cial syaod resulted in the election of Dr. Bowman, as clerical, and Mr. Vizard, as lay representatives. The clerical substi- tutes elected were Revds, V, E. Harris, Bambrick, and Gibbon. In the absence of Rev. J. D. Browne, who had given notice of the motion, Professor Wilson proposed that during one evening of each session, said evening to be named by the bishop, the synod should resolve itself into a com- mittee of the whole, for the discussion of the state of the church, and of parochial affairs generally. This motion produced considerable discussion. Mr. Ancient was strongly in favor of the motion, as the idea if carried out, would give an opportunity to the members of discussing subjects in semi-informal manner which would not be debated at the ordinary meetings of the synod, inasmuch as they were not of a legislative character, and could not be brought forward in the shape of a motion. Mutnal counsel between clergy and laity would be the result, and consequently mutual benefit. Even burning questions might be quietly discussed, Mr. Ritchie was
VIOLENTLY OPPOSED TO THE MOTION.
The synod will simply be organizing iteelf into a body where unrestricted by its or- dinary rul-s and restrictions burning ques- tions will be hkely debated, and mach vielence and strife result. Mr. Hudgson agreed with Mr. Ritchie in all bat one word. Mr. Ritchie said the synod would “organiz?” itself. He preferred saying that the synod would “‘disurganize” itself. Mr. Murray made two most eloquent and strong speeches in favor of the motion, The members of the synod did not meet to tear one anothers eyes out but to advance the glory of God. He earnestly pleaded for the opportunity for mutual discussion and advice between clergy and laity which would thus be afforded. Mr. Manning said that if the members wanted a fight so bad- ly they had better vote a committee of the whole immediately and see how they liked the squabble, At length Mr. Hodgson proposed that the motion be referred to a committee of seven who should report. to the synod as to the best means of carrrying out its intention. Quite an animated dis- cussion took place on a motion of Vv. E. Harris, which proposed that every clergyman should, on. one Sunday during each year, preach.a sermon advo- cating the claims of King’s College and solicit, at the same time, a collection for the maintenance of a divinity professor at the institution. Mr. Harris supported hia motion ip an earnest. speech. Churchmen should learn a lesson from other denomin- ations, They should learn to love King’s College, and look upon it as one of the most valuable aids to the church in Nova Scotia. Would they but contribute their money as they should, the university would not be in the deplorable state in which it now is. Mr. Ritchie expressed himself as jealous of the right of the clergyman, and objected having subjects for sermons thus forced upon him, or being obliged to make a collection for any purpose. Certain sub- jects might be strongly recommended, and he would be often glad to comply with such suggestions, but he decidedly objected to being told he must preach on a certain subject, and must take up a collection for s certain purpose Mr. Ancient also would prefer choosing his own text.
HE DID NOT RELISH BEING REQUIRED TO PREACH ON A SUBJECT
whether he wanted to or not. Any way ne one could compel the congregation to con- tribute. A very telling speech on the sub- ject was made by Mr. Watson, lay delegate ror Georgetown. Clergymen should, he thought, as a duty, make themselves ac- quainted with Kipg’s College and plead with their congregations for its support. Annual contributions from all the parishes in the aggregate would make up a sum which the authorities of the university would find very acceptable. The Rev, Mr, Ruggles had done remarkably well, But frequent applications made in such a way would be prejudical. ‘The president of King’s College thonght the fault of the resolution was endeavoring to make the erwon and coilection compulsory. They should in his opinion simply be reeommend- c. As such a recommendation has al- ready beea passed by the synod, Mr. Harris withdrew his motion.
