and that the Bill, when passed, will be enforeed in the most heartless man- ner by the Government of Queen Victoria. To this we reply that

the acts of men should not be governed by anticipated troubles. Besides, the Jubilee is a matter personal to Her Majesty and has nothing to do with the mistakes which have been or may be made by Parliament aud the Government. Suppose, however, that the Queen and her Government are inseparably connected and that our loyalty to her is dependent upon the acts of the Ministers whom the people send to her Councils, is it not a fact that the wrungs of Ireland have been greatly ameliorated during Her Majesty's reign, and that one of the greatest states- men of the age has declared that Home Rule is now within measurable distance ! Is it not also a fact that Irishmen in this country enjoy to the full the advantages of free Government and have prospered in as marked a degree as the sons of any other nationality? If these be facts, it will be admitted there is no good reason in them why the Benevolent Irish Society should refuse to take part with other National societies in the Queen's Jubilee Celebration.

QUEENS JUBILEE Services in the biby Churches,

Summary of Discourses by Revs. J. M. MeLeod, Jas, Carruthers and Job Shenton.

ZION CHURCH,

In Zion Church, last evening, Rev. J. M. MacLeod preached from the following text:

Lev. xxv.,ii.: ‘A jubilee shall the fif- tieth year be unto you.”

Che first part of the discourse had reference to the Jewish Jubilee. The preacher stated that at the sound of the jubilee trumpet debt was cancelled, prisous released, slaves liber- ated, and forfeited property restored; and that the glad sound of the gospel proclaimed free and full pardon to all who would believe in Jesus Christ, the opening of the prison doors to them that are bound, liberty to those who are in bondage to sin and Satan, and the restoration of all and more than all that man had lost by sin.

He then stated that the principal purpose for which this text had been chosen was that we might unite with British subjects through- out the world in commemorating a memorable epoch in the annals of our country’s history : the fiftieth anniversary of the reign of our beloved Sovereign, Queen Victoria; that few Sovereigns had reigned longer, and that nore had been better loved; that previous to the present occasion there had been but three royal jubilees since the Conquest, viz., those of Edward III., Henry IIL. and George UL, and that it became us all to give thanks to the King of Kings for the reign of almost un- equalled length and of altogether unequalled splendor vouchsafed to our gracious Queen. The Anthem ‘“‘God Save the Queen” to-day and during the past week has circled the globe like one vast volame of song, joined in by men, women and Sabbath School children throughout the Empire.

The speaker then contrasted the cruel reigns of Queens Mary, Elizabeth and Anne with the peaceful and prosperous reign of

Victoria. He stated that the only deep blood stains on the annals of the last fifty years were the Crimean War

and the Indian Mutiny, but that these were no more under the control of England than the bursting forth of heaven's artillery in the ter

rific thunder storm; that national difficulties were now being settled by reason, common sense and religion; that the Irish question alone disturbed the peace of the Empire; and expressed the hope that by wise and generous legislation Great Britain and _ Ireland would soon be thoroughly consolidated and cemented by devotion and loyalty to the British throne. That the glorious gospel had been spread further and wider than during any preceding half century—that the B. and F. B. Society issued 4,000,000 copies of the scriptares annually, and that missioners had published the gospel in every continent and on almost all the islands of the sea, and that this noble work ever had the warm sympathy, the hearty co-operation and the powerful pro- tection of our beloved Sovereign,—-and that no one better knew the power of the Bible as as a civilizer, educator and reformer of man- kind than she who held that book up before a crowned head, saying this is the secret of England's greatness and glory! That the reignof the present soveriga has been one of signal pro- gress in every department of llfe—of improve- ments, inventions—that railways, steamboats, telegraphs and telephones had brought the ends of the earth together, and that many were running to and fro and that knowledge was greaty increased; that no previous reign could boast of greater statesmen, poets, scientitts and writers, on almost every subject and that more eminent divines had not lived since the Reformation, than such men as Chalmer, Candlish, Cunningham, the Bonars, Guthrie, Spurgeon and Ryle. And in the political arena, where can a nobler list of names be found than Peel, Gladstone, Palmer- stone, Gray, Russell and Desraeli? With such a Queen, such statesmen and divines, well might a prosperous period be anticipated. The preacher closed with an earnest hope that our noble Queen might be spared many years to sway her sceptre over a nation on which the sun never sets—that she might continue to sit enthroned in the affections of a loyal and devoted people, and when she lies down her sceptre and crown she might receive from the Prince of Peace a crown of glory that fadeth not away, and an earnest exhorta- tion to his hearers not to be content with being loyal subjects of an earthly soverign, but to enlist under the banner of King cow, and to be faithinl unto death that they might receive a crown of life.

ST. JAMES’ CHURCH,

The jubilee services in St. James’ Church yedeerday were largely attended, both morn- ing and afternoon. The afternoon service was the children’s jubilee service, the Sabbath school at Rocky Point uniting with the Sab- bath schoo] of St. James Church. The whole body of the Church was filled with children and the services were varied and exceedingly interesting. This, as well as the morning service, was conducted by the pastor. In the morning Mr. Carruthers took for his text Prov. 31.31. He explained the passage as a part of the chapter in which Solomon gives a picture of what is called ‘‘ A Model Woman,” and pointed out that this bright example is made to draw her beauty from her fear of the Lord, and her faith is that which sends forth her virtues, these virtues in turn are made to publish her praise. He referred to the fact that the original of such a picture as drawn by Solomon is very rare; seldom or never do we meet with a woman in whom all these qualities are to be found, and that even more race is the occasion when a whole nation rises up and places the palm in the hands of one of the children of men, and counts her worthy of all praise for the virtues manifested in their midst during the long period of fifty years, one, who like the model woman of the chapter, began her life in the fear of the Lord, and out of whose faith has grown those virtues which have blest her reign. The first part of his discourse was a plea for such occasions. In these days busi- ness activities and pursuits of all kinds press so heavily upon the minds of the people that tley are apt to permit to drop out of sight some of the finer virtues of our fathers, not the least among which is patriotism. He did not want them to understand that because they lived at the circumference rather than the centre of the Empire, therefore it was necessary to lay down reasons for such services, In his own experience, he had met with as pure a patriotism and as fervent loyaity in the Dominion of Canada as ever in the British Isles. That Canada more than once has riseu to the help of the Empire,;and that the simple mark indicating the grave of the British sol- dier in the Crimea or on the plains of Egypt rises over the Canadian who sleeps with his brother in arms, But at the same time there is a spirit abroad which smiles at these things, that considers patriotism more as a prejudice

THE DAILY EXAMINER, | “ag

| ests and declares that we ought to view our- selves as citizens of the world and extend our benevolence equally to all nations. This posi- tion would place man in antagonism to God, who has designed that we should be linked to- gether by natural affection, first to our fami- lies and children, next to brothers, sisters, friends and acquaintances, and then to the several societies and communities to which we belong. The carrying out of this design would promote the a welfare in a much higher degree than it our affections had no pav- ticular direction and were allowed to float about at will, without any more determined object than the human race.

He contended that the man who argued against patriotism was devoid of affection, or perhaps wanted to conceal the fact that he actuaily preferred another country to his own. The preacher pleaded for the good old com- mon sense laws which resolved to love our native country and a firm adherence to that which has ever characterized us asa great nation, viz., the love we bear our country and the loyalty with which we support the throne.

In the second place, in applying these sen- timents to the present occasion, he went on to show what reasons we had, as citizens of this great nation, to manifest our loyalty to the crown. He said: From the nature of the British constitution, the attitude of our sover- eign is not that of the legislator, or the hero, but of the parent of the people. The virtues, therefore, which suit Her Majesty are not

kind, and the radiance which surrounds the throne is not that of personal and dangerous greatness, but that of legitimate power and parental authority. No Sovereign ever grasped so thoroughly the duties of the throne as she did, believing that they demanded other virtues than those of firmness to the oblig»- tions which she contracted to her people; that as she was called by God to be the nation’s sovereign, so was she called to go before them on the road of purity and virtue, and give to the morals and manners of her age the stamp of herexample. How well did she beyvin her reign, and how well has she carried out her duties to her God and her people. After fifty years her virtues are her praise ; and during | that long reign, notwithstanding the fierce

light which beats upon the throne, the charac-

ter of the sovereign has borne the test of that | light, and amid years of shock and change, of

wars and popular tumult,she has conspicuons- , ly manifested the influence and power of a | virtuous life, and stands to-day bearing a’ name untouched hy any suspicion and un-

blemished by any reproach.

Continving, he drew pictures from her life ! of piety and sympathy to her subjects and the people of other nations, and concluding said : These are the virtues which wethis day acknowledge. I would, therefore, appeal ' to youall. Bornas many of us have been beneath her benign reign; sharing in the honor which the virtues of a Sovereign ever throw over her age, and in the biessings which Heaven sheds upon the throne that is “established in righteousness” carried (in | every year of this long period) as we and all our interests have been in her bosom, and re- membered in every day, in every prayer which she has offered up to heaven, ours is now the duty to nourish her old age with the tenderness of children; to guard with jealous love the throne which she fills, alike from | foreign injury and internal insult; to press — with more affectionate loyalty to our bosom that head over which adversity has shed other | sorrows than those of time; to smooth with | fond hands that inevitable path whieh con- duts virtue as well as glory to the grave; and to ask with fervent prayer that her remaining course may like the summer sun when he sets at last slowly and serenely in the west amid | the blessings of a teful world. These ! are the resolutions whieh he believed befitted the place and the hour ;—the resolutions whieh suit a great people, who, while they know their mghts, acknowledge also their duties ;—the resolutions which give the sensi- bilities of love to the energies of loyalty; and which, amid all the guilt and miseries of society, testify to heaven and earth that there is one throne founded in justice, one people who can honor virtue, and who in all sincerity lift up their voice with truly loyal hearts and pray this day, ‘God Save the Queen ”

QUEEN SQUARE METHODIST CHURCH.

In the Queen Square Methodist Church ' last evening, a large assemblage greeted the preacher, Rey. Job Shenton, who delivered a sermon brimming over with interesting incident and fact of the early fe and fifty years’ reign of Her Majesty. After the choir and audience had sung with enthusi- asm the hymn :

‘*Oh, King of Kings, Thy blessing shed

On our annointed Sovereign’s head,

And looking from Thy holy heaven

Protect the crown Thyself hast given.”

the preacher announced for his text —Pro- verbs xxix., 2: **‘ When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice.”

Having expatiated upon the fact that ‘‘ the people called Methodists” had ever been noted for their loyalty and devotion to the

crown and person of the rightful ruler of the realm, the Queen was _intro- duced and eulogised as having, through

the training of her mother,imbibed a truthful- ness of spiritand warmth of heart, which have endeared her to the people. A spotless life and a pure court had moulded the nation, and the great event which was arrestin the world to-day was hailed with joy and glad- ness by myriads in all portions of the Empire. Upon no human being had ever converged so many prayers, so many ‘blessings and _bene- dictions. The preacher then filled up his dis- course,in his own eloquent style, with graphic

ictures of the wonderful advancement of the

ritish nation during the last half century.

First referring to the victories of ,—the immense territorial expansion of Empire, —and the enormous yrowth of population,

Great Britain being ruler over one-third of the surface of the globe—and over nearly one- fourth of its inhabitants. The material and commercial progress of the nation were glanced at. The amazing in- crease of the revenue and growth of wealth, the development of the railway traffic and the postal system, which spread like a network around the world. Fifty years of broadening commerce, Fitty years of brightening science, Fifty years of growing Empire,— Yet we doubt not through the ages One increasing purpose runs, And the minds of men are broadened With the rising of the suns.

Reference was made tv the wars of the period—Tiber Pass, Crimea, and the Indian Mutiny—-and an earnest. prayer breathed that war might nevermore stain the escutcheon of civilized nations, The reacher threw off pictures of some of the eading statesmen of the era—Peel, Bright, Disraeti, Gladstone—and the great political reforms achieved, and closed with a review of the advancement of Christian principles and institutions, anda prophecy of the world’s evangelization in the years vocome. The National Anthem having been sung by the ‘congregation, earnest prayer was offered that Seed sown through fifty years, Seed sown in smiles or tears, Grant her to reap. Her heritage of fame, Her pure and stainless name,

those which dazzle but those which bless man-

Her le free f sharae, Gisrtl Thot ahd kot.

‘LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Queen's Jubilee. Sir,--In an article in your paper of | Thursday last, headed ‘‘The Jubilee Cele- bration,” reference is made to the Benevo- lent Irish Suciety declining to take part in | the ‘‘Societies’ Procession.” You say that

its action “‘lays its members—particularly its leading members—open to the charge | by their enemies of disloyalty to Her Majesty's person and government, and is Calculated to cvol considerably the warm |sympathy which has been excited for old | Ireland and her wronged people.” How anxious you now appear to be, Mr. Editor, | that the enemies of the members of the | Benevolent Irish Society should not charge them with disloyalty. Are you not well aware that evil-minded and prejudiced per- sons have already made that charge, not ‘only against the members of the Society |Imentioned, but against Irishmen than, whom there are no more loyal and faithful subjects of Her Majesty.

in reply to an invitation from the Secre- tary oi the Jubilee Committee, the Benevo- lent Irish Society sume time ago informed the committee that, while not taking part as a Society, that individually they would co-operate and assist inthe celebration. The Society, no doubt, considered before they came to this decision. Perhaps it is just as well that they dia not decide to take part when requested ; for had they con- sented, they would, I feel sure, at a late date be obliged to reverse their decision, owing to the one-sided shape the celebra- tion has assumed within the last few weeks. Among other matters, the Masonic Society is requested, by a resolution of the Jubilee Committee, to perform a work in connec- tion with the celebration which, by right and custom, should be performed by the Mayor of the city for the time being. You have not, sir, as in the subject we are dis- cussing, said, ‘‘ it is not too late to correct the mistake, and we are not without h that it will be done.” Oh, no; that would never do. Cardinal Manning's good opinion of the Queen is given in your article. What, I ask, sir, would he the opinion of His Eminence as to the corner stone of a public building being laid, on an occasion of this kind, bya Society that is dis- approved of by the Church which has appointed him asa teacher and guide for his people. “It is a poor rule that does not work both ways.”

‘**Even the Orange Society,” you tell us, “‘which has never been able to obtain offi- cial recognition or an act of incorporation, have signified their intention to take part in the Queen's Jubilee.” There must be very just reasons why this “‘loyal” insti- tution *‘has not beer able to obtain” these privileges. Still, this body will assist to make the celebration a ‘grand success,” in the opinion of some.

Since you have connected ‘*Old Ireland” with the action of the Benevolent Irish Society in this Province, I may be pardoned for asking what is about to be done towards the ‘* Dear Old Land” in this Jubilee year of Her Majesty? There is now before the Imperial Parliament one of the most strin- gent and obnoxious Acts that was ever

by a civilized uation. This Act will shortly become law, and will be put in force against the Irish oa in the most heartless manner by the Government of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. A great many people may say, ‘Oh, the Queen is not personally responsible; she has to be guided by the advice of her ministry.” All very good; but when Irishmen in this or any other Province are requested to honor her as the head of that nation whose min- isters adopt such cruel and tyrannical laws to govern a people whose descendants they are, it is not naturally to be supposed they could look upon such a request with favor. Everything considered, my opinion is that the Benevolent Lrish Society in this city did perfectly right, and that they will adhere to their decision. Yours, &c.,

Fonrenoy.
