QUEEN VICTORIA

A Sermon Preache.t by the Rev, James Simpson, M: A... tn St. Peter's Cathedral June 30th 1897—fublished by request;

“The Lord sareti His anointed. He will hear him from His holy heaven, with the saving strength of His Right Hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will rememberthe name vf the Lord our God: Pam xx 6. 7.—

We meet together today toreturn thanks to Almighty God for [lis gooduess .o us as a vation, in prolonging the beniga reign of our most gracious Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria for the fall period of sixty years. And I think we may safely claim that the rejuicing for this event will be more world—wirie—more universal than any such rejoicing since the creation of man.

Phis at first mar seem too boldan asser- tion to go unchallenged; but if we reflect a little we saall seethe truth ofit. There have been doubtleas mauy magniticent fes- tivals throughout the worid’s history. Holy Scripture tells us of the grandeur of tbe Function when Solomon’s temple was de- dicated to Almighty God; and ot that long protracted teast which king Abasuera- made toall his princes and servants is Sushan the palace. Heathen wriiers de- scribe the splendors of the pageants which took place from time to time in ancient Egypt, and Babylon, and Greece, and Rome when kings returned from battle laden withs oilsard captives,or revelled ou days of national festivity; but all there were of mere local importance and outside the cities where in they were celebrated, or at most outside the pation that wasinterested, but little was known of them and only faintrumors of their glories and fame could have reached other lauds,

Or if we consider events nearer our own times—former jubilees—the coronation of sovereigus-— thanksgivings for victories-— royal marriages and euch like, we shall ings were in no way so general or sO magnificent a3 this. At the Jubilee of George Ili England had few colonies to participate in her fetes, The rejoicing after the Battle of Waterloo and

Inthisconnection,we have to remark with regret that the efforts of the Charlottetown

to compete has not paid,—then the

objection to the “deal” will fall to the

ground. If, onthe other hand, the ex- periment should prove to be unsuccessful, then the Government will vot again dare to try to force the deal through Parlia- ment. It is true that the country stands to lose $150,000 to $200,006, or more, asa result of the adoption of the last proposi- tion of the Government. But that isa mere drop in the bucket in comparison with what «ight have been lost if the Senate had approved the contract as at first submitted by the Government.

A BAD CASE.

Mr Prenpercast, of Manitoba, was cne } of the staunchest uphelders of the minor ty contention in the School Question. He was a memter of the Legislature and an influential man. Shortly after Mr. Laurier began his “sunny ways” a special judge ship was created for Manitoba; and the “Manitoba Schoo! Settlement” was effected ! Mr. Prendergast then underwent a change of beart on the School Question. He resigned his seat in the Manitoba Legislature to accept it. He worked in St. Boniface to secure the return of the Liberal candidate® He failed in bia His political friends contested the election of the man he opposed.

things of the past in the Mother Country Lefore Canada he : rd of them, and so too with | the thanksgivings atter the Crimean war and the Indian mutiny,the marriage of the Prince of Wales and his recovery frem | ilmessin 1872. While England rejoiced on these occasions to the full, her de- pendencies did not share to the same extent in her joy because there had not arisen that etrong feeling of Imperial Unity whichis so prevalent now. Even the Queen’s Jubilee ten years ago sinks into insignificance when compared with the one we are celebrating to day; and those joyous festivities which took place recently at the coronation of the Czar of Russia can in no way compete with this Diamond Jubilee both because the Rus- sian Empire is not so extensive as that of Britain, and also because mingled with the shouts of exultation when Nicholas came to the throne, we know there arose the hoarse murmurings of Nihilists aod the fierce curses of prisoners in Siberian mines.

Today, not in one country only—not by men of one race only—not by men of oue religion only, but all over the world wherever there isa British possession -- bv hundreds of nationalities and tribes—

on Her Maj sty be contined to ber subjects alone. There will be such a gathering of princes andy and = rulers and representatives from foreign courts as has never been surpassed io the world’s history,—andall for what? Notto celebrate victory over fallen foes; not to astonish the world with the iwagnificent extent and power ot the Bricish nation ; not to delizht ths eves of the spectators with the pomp and »p'endor ofa show, —tu t> accompany anaged, white haired widowed iady, bowed down with the cares f State, saddened with her own personal bereavements aod the sorrows of her people, to accompany her as she proceeds ‘o the great national Cathedral to offer to Almighty, God a solemn Te Deum —the Chureb’s venerable hymo of praise,—in thanksgiving for her loug and prosperous reign, and tnen to receive from the Arch- bishop of Canterbury the benediction of God’s Holy Catholic Chureh.

And surely both Queen and nation have | much cause for thankfulness for the bless- ings of the past 60 years.

Cfhankfulvess tor peace and quietness at home: As we look back to that day when Victoria, agirl of 18, took up the eceptre of rule, what mighty changes do we see. Crowns and thrones have perished, king- dome risen and waned. Every ruler who sat upon his throne at the time of the Queen’s accession has yvielled up his place and been gathered to his fathers, Europe has been convulsed again and again with horrible war. France, Spain, ltalv, the United States, Mexico and the countries of South America have eodured bloody revol- utions. Emperors and princes have been assassinated and deposed, kingdoms have disappeared, nations been swallowed up, the map of the world has been altered; bet Eagland has grown in strength and power through it all. In 1837 our Queen reigned over 130 millions, now she reigns over xomo 330 millions of men. Her empire then covered two millions, it now covers over 6 millions of square miles. Aud these vast territories have been acquired, not (except in rare instances ) at the point of the swora but by the unbloody conquests of trade and diplomacy. Wars we have had it is true,for Eng'and’s hand is ever ready to help the oppressed, but at home there bas been no internal strife, no sedition, privy conspiricev or rebellion. And when at any time interests have clashed, or class mur- mured against class, or some cause for dis- content bas arisen, wise legislation and mutual concession have averied the threar- ened danger aod restored confidence and eacr.

Thankfulness for our form of Govern- ment: Our American neighbours some- times speak of Her Majesty as if she were a mere figure-head, an expensive luxury, a useless ornament. We know that this is not the vase. Since she assumed tie reios of government 69 years ago she has

As the sun rose this morring on the Islands of the Pacific, then began the de-

votions ot the Enzlish people. As the world revolved on its course the strains were taken up in ove place after another across the continents of Asiaand Africa— across Europe to Grea’ Britain itself— than British ships tossed on the broad Atlantic caught up the glad thanks-givings and swept them onward to our shores, and now as the hours pags on those joyful! hymns will stretch across this Canada of ours, until they reach the Pacific again, nor will they cease until the globe has been encircled and the 20th of June becomes a thing of the past. Not one thin line of thankegiving either—pot a chainof single links, buta mighty network stretching from north to south from east to west. “From under the cold brilliancy of the Northero Lights,where the lonely fisherman fullows his peritousca!ling;from the golden orchards and smiling groves of fair islands

embosomed in the Southern seas; from

dusty sun scorched Afr.can deserts; from

the bleak wind swept steppes of ceptrai

Asia; from the mighty forests and prairies of Canada; from the lonely Australian

bush; from the great sun-smitten plains of our vast Indian Empire; from the far away seciuded glens of New Zealand and Tasmania; from every part ofthe inhabit- ed globe into which the adventurous Eng

lishrnan has penetrated—carrying with him the story of England’s greatoess and power and commerce and resourcea— comes the hearty echo of the rejoicings in England itself: —““Our Queen! God bless her! God’s peace be upon her.!”

And then on Tuesday the praises of to- day will give place to salvos of artillery to martial mu-ic to pealing of bells to pyrotechnic displavs to mighty cheers to general festivities. Every city in the Queen’s domivions, every town, every vil- lage, every scttlement, every British ship upon the high seas will celebrate it some way, according to ite ability, this 60th anniversary of our Sovereign’s accession.

And what shall we say of that triumphal procession through the streets of London ? la ancient Rome, vietorioue gemerals on their return from war were accorded a triumph. Thatis ona certain day they paraded the citv with their soldiera in battle array,aad_ before therm were borne the spoils taken from the countries they had conguered, while multitudes of captives the slaves of their conquerors,bound and fetter- ed and guarded, followed in their train. When Queen Victoria wends her majestic way from palace to Cathedral and from Cathedral to palace again, she will be accompanied by the representatives of those races and nations that are subject to the British crown. But not as unwilling captives will they march—not bound save by the silken chains of loyalty and love. To our new Premier, descendant of those hardy settlers of New France will be accorded the highest place of colonia! honor, while in the ranks of the military escort, marching breast to breast with British born, will be fouad Indians from east to west, swartby Africans, Asiatics,

are in direct answer to the prayers of the church. When the Arch- bisuop of Canterbury announced to Vict- oria that she was Queen of England, “she listened to the news with tears in her eye-, and at length thisgrl of eighteen, Sovereign of the most puwer-fal vation of theearth, said to the Archbishops, I ask your prayers ou my behalf. Tuoey knelt down together and thus through the portal of prayer the new Queen acceded tothe throne,—and her reign thus began has been conunued -benesath God’s gracious faver. “Some put their trast in chariots aod some in horses” but we have remem ber- ed the name of the Lord our Gud.

have received her sanction; uor has she ! failed when occasiou las arisen to express ber desires and insist upon her preroga- tives.

And indeed we have no cause to be ashamed of our monarch'cal institutions. We are at least spared that periodical up- heaval that parsiysis of business interests, that iotensity of party feeling, that squandering of millions of dollara which takes place in the U. S. every four years at tne election of j;President,—which has taken place 15 times since Victoria came to the turone. We nee! not envy republic- eo France with its coatinual change of government, or autocratic Russia with its plottnz masses of nihilists, or semi-auto- cratic Germany with its eccentric ruler and harrassed people. Look where we ‘will among the nations of the earth, com- pare the:r institutions with our own, and we hall be able to say from the bottom of our hearts, “the lot is fallen unto me in a fair ground, yea, I have a goodly heritage.”

Aud thankfulness, above all, for the wonderful revival of religion and the ex- tension of our Church at home and abroad | nuder the beniga rule and fostering ‘care of our Queen. Sixty years azo church edifices in England were dingy, neglected and out of repair, doors were locked from Sunday to Sunday, the honour of God was too often held to consist in the poverty of His tewple.“We have learnt that God’s House should visibly express our gratitude to the giverof all goed gifts. Thousands of churches have been built, ani there is scarcely a Cathedral, scarcely even a cburch whether in city or towa or hamlet, which has not during this single reigu, been embellished and restored. And as with the buildings sowith the services. Then Holy Communion was celebrated three or four times a year, Matins and Eyensong were bui poorly attended, re- sponses were inaudible, hymns almost un- known. Now, at least, we bave outward brightness, reverence and order, and new life animated by the Spirit of God has been infused far aud wide. The number of

bishops in Kngland has been nearly doubled, the parishes have increased by 4,000 and enormous sums are voluntarily contributed every year for Caurch objects.

And the growth of the Cuurch in the colonies and other possessions has been even wore remarkabie. [a there were only seven Bishops outside the Mother Country; now there are 92, 22, being in Britisn North America, 9, in the West Indies, Ceniral and South America, 21 in Asia, 22, in Australia and the Pacific, i7 in Africa, and one onthe continent of Europe. In our thanksgiving, today, Jet us not fail to remember this wouderful progress, and praise God for His blessings in the past while we beseeca Him for mer- cies in the future.

Time will not permit me to refer to our many other causes for thankfulness --the wouderful discoveries made during this reign, the progress of arts and sciences, the developement Of indus:ries, the welding together of opposing interests, the amelio- ration of the condition of the poor and

Bretbern it is 00 common boon for which we give thanks today. We have been privileged beyond ali other nations,—the lovg peaceful, progressive reign of our be- loved Queen. But privileges always involve respons:bilities : and Britain’s glory will so0n pasa away, Britain’s pride will eoon be humbled in the dust, if we abuse our privileges, or fail to rise to our re- spousibiliiies. “ God has been very gool to us these sixty years; we only need one blessing more—grace to proti: by Hie good- ness. ”
