Toe unity of the Saxon Church under Tuevdivre at the close of the seventh cep- tury, vrspared the way for the unity of the S.x.a Heptarchy under Egbert at the Opeains Of the ninth century. Hence, under the ioflueace of Christianity, Eogla:d becomes a Nation. : Uu tuis poiat let me quote a tew words from our greatest living Church historian the present Bishop of Oxford. » De Stubbs, in lim Constitiona! History of England, says: “The Church of England is not only the agency by which Christianity was brvagit to @ beathen people, a herald of epiriius! blessiage and glorious hopes in Snothe life: it is oot merely the tamer Of Cruel natures, the civilizer of the rude, the cultivator of the weste places, the educator, the guide the protector, whose guard. noship was the only safeguard of the woman, the child, the slaves, against the tyraony of their lord and master.

Next to unity and civilization, freedom is the greatest blessing a nation can enjoy, Chat England and her Colonies enjoy it as thoroughly as they do today is largely due to the Church, and therefore to Christ- lanity. At the great crisis of our English history,when the freedom of our forefathers was trembling in the balance, it wae the Chureh which, throwing her weight into tne ecale of liberty, decided the question, It was the Church which, ip close alli- ance with Alfred the Great avd Good, assisied him to give to ihe united Anglo Saxon and Anglo-Danish Nation good government, and equa! Jaws, It was the Church which, under the kadership of Archbish p: Lanfran, Anselm aod Becket, put the first effectual limitation On the all-absor bing tyranny of our Norman kings, Woy It was the Church which, that under the leadership of the patriotic Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, won the Great Charterof English liberty from the farse and rapacious king John. It was the Church which was the firmest supporter of England’s great Baron, Simvn De Montfort, in his ateempt to obtain a recognition of the Magua Charta trom the weak king Henry III., and gave her sanction to the calling of the first Eng- lish Parliament. The Church wasthe greatest supporter of the only aynastiy in England, (sefore our preseut one), which honesily tried to rule Eogland in a constitutional manner, namely, the House of Lancaster. When Heory VIII. set about the creation in Eogland ofa system of arbitrary goveroment, depenaent merely on the will of the sovereign, in imitation of the great despotic monarchies of Spain and Frauce, the Church was the firstecemy with whom he bad to deal. The Tudor tyranny was not securely established, and fully developed in Eng- land, uotil the Church had been humbled, and firmly attached to the royal chariot wheels. It is true that during the reigns of the first three Stuarts, the Church is seen apparently turning her back on her old policy, and allying herself with ihe canse of despotism. She had, lover, veen 80 closely dominated by the royal power under the Tudors, that it took some time torherto recover her independence of action, but when the crisis of the struggle came, when James Il. was clearly seen to be bent on overthrowing the constitutional liberty of Englishmen, than the Church of England awoke, burst her chains, and, as has been #0 graphically told by Lord Macauley,under the leadership of the Seven Bishops, guided the Nations along the path of olution, and in A. D. 1688 secured its freedom by the overthrow and banishment of the tyrant. In recent times, it was undoubtedly the spirit of Christianity which prompted William Wilberforce, and his co-workers in the House of Commens, to earry out further the policy of Anselm and the Med eval Church, by inducing the Parli- ament of England to abolish siaveryin all the Colonies and Dependencies cf the Britieh Empire, and vigorously to put down the slave trade, as fer as possible, ailover the world. By doing this they succeeded in vindicating the historical position of Christian Engiand, as the champion of individual as well as of national liberty. Ill. Tsirpty—Curisriayity Gave Eng— LAND ovr Encrisn Bisie. First in the days of Alfred we had our Saxon Bible. Then in the daysof Wick- liffe, we had our early English Bible; the English of Chaucer. Ther, in the days of Cranmer and Varker, and jater, in 1611, in the dave of the tranelatorsof our preseut Authorized Version, we have our Knglish Bible of today. Andthis most precious gift Engiand and her Colonies owe to Christianity; or to epeac with strictest accuracy, to the Church of England. The influence which the Bible has had, and still ishaving, upon the lives and thoughts of Englishmen and their des- cendants is incalculable. In no Empire, save that of Victoria, has the Bible been more intelligently read, or more deeply valued. I doubt, whether of any General save one belonging to the Anglo-Saxon race, could be recorded what is recorded of the late Duke of Welling- ton. Alison, in his his history of Europe, referring to the Duke’s «then Col. Welles- ley’s) Indian campaigos, says :--**During t ecampeigns which followed he had little time for study, and still fewer facili- ties for the transport of books: his library consisted of only two volumes, but they were eminently descriptive of his future character and principles. These two books were the Bible and Casar’s Commentaries.” Yes, it is trae of Kuglishmen and their descendants, whereever they are worthy of the honored name, that they value the precious giftof our English Bible which Christianity hae given ua. With us, the Bible is placed in the sol- dier’s knapsack, in the sailors chest, in the emigrants trunk, and it will be found amoug the presents of the bride. He was an unworthy son of England, or of Canada, who desired that the wite of his choice should have neiiher a Bible nor & piano. 1 pass to another blessing which Eng- land and her Colonies owe to Christianity. IV— FOURTHLY—CHRISTIANITY HAS VINDI- CATED THE DIGNITY OF WOMANHOOD, AND THE PURITY OF HOME LIFE. Woman owes her true position in socie y Among the great nations of the East, and according to the} great roligions which still dominate the- continent of Asia, woman was little better than either the plaything. or, the slave of men. From Christianity, as it made its way in the world, proceeced a totally different conception of the true relations between man and woman. Woman was no longer the slave to be bought with money, she is the equal to be won by Jove. Christianity called forth the chivalry, the generosity, and the loyalty of man’s nature. He becomes the protector, not the master of weakness, the partner of a mutual obedience of love. There are no virtues more eminently Christian,or,as we fondly hoast, more emi- nently English,thau domestic lore,namely Chivalry and womanly trust. Tueve is no not-on so jealous of che sanctity of home lite, and so proud of ite domeais virtues as the English. Loug may it remain 80; and to this end may the sanctity of Christian marriage as tangbt by Jesus Christ, and as enforced by His Holy Church, ever be safeguarded ty our national laws, Better for our national purity apd well being, better a thousand times tale the view of the Church ofthe Roman obedi- ence, that Marriage is Sacrament, than degrade it into @ mere civil cuntract. Our own Charch, though not placing “the Sacrament of Matrimony” on a level With the two great Sacraments of BDoly Baptisin, and the Holy Communion, yet ia her Book of Homilies distinctly speaks of the sacramen‘al character of marriage. In Homily 7, Part t. our Cpureh Speaks of “The Sacianent 0° Matrimony, (as that whien) kaitveth mao and wife in perpetual love.” To+um up, and to conclude. Caristianity has made Nation. Christianity has made England and her Colonies frer, Christianity has given us our English Bible. The dignity of womanhood, and the sanctity and purity of our English and Canadian homes we owe to Christianity. Did time allow, I con)d go on to show, that to Christianity England snd her Colonies owe their Civilization, their Kducation, and all their Iustitutions of Benevolence and Mercy. Surely, therefore with [srael’s Psalmist we may Say, as we take asurvey of what Eogland aud her Colonies owe to Christi- anily : “Tue Lord HATH DONE GREAT THINGS FOR Us.” Let us chow our sense of the greatness of these benefits and blessings by our gratitude, And let us show our thankfulness to Almighty God for the great things He bath done for us by our willing thank- offerings. Let our offertory tonight show that we are entering into the spirit of that bymn which we are about to sing: “O Lord of heaven and earth and sea, To Thee all praise and glory be; How shall we show onr love to Thee, Who givest all ? Eagland a “The golden sunshine, vernal air, Sweet flowers and fruit, Thy love declare, When harvests ripen, Thon art there Who givest all. “For peaceful homes, and healthful days For all the blessings earth dieplave, We owe thee thankfulness and praice, Who givest all. Whatever Lord we lend to thee, Repaid a thonsaud fold wil! be, Then gladly will we give to Thee, Who gives all. $ ** To Thee from whom we all derive Our life, our gifts, our power to give O may we ever with Thee live.

Eating too much; or not enough; or the wrong / kind of food; or at the wrong time—gets the digestive organs into such a thoroughly disor- dered condition that at last noth- ing whatever can be digested. When the appetite fails and the liver becomes sluggish, the whole }), system is dragged down and deadened |: byimperfect nutrition. There is noth- }'\ ing in the world which restores or- ganic tone and vigor so quickly and scientifically as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med- ical Discovery. It acts directly upon the nutritive organ- ism; it gives the stomach power to extract a high percentage of nourishment from the food, and enables the liver to filter all bili- ous poisons out of the circulation; it puts the red, vitalizing life-giving elements into the blood, and builds up solid flesh, mus- cular force and healthy nerve-power. In all debilitated conditions and wasting diseases it is vastly superior to malt extracts or any inere temporary stimulants. It gives permanent strength. It is better than nan- seous emulsions, because it is agreeable to the weakest stomachs. Whenever constipation is one of. the complicating causes of disease, the most perfect remedy is Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, witich are always effective, yet ab- solutely mild and harmless. There never was any reniedy invented which can take their place. “‘In August, 18905, I was taken down with what my physician pronounced consumption,” writes Ira D. Herring, of Needmore, Levy Co., Florida. ‘My trouble continued for several - months, Four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cured me.” A sad accident happened at Pell, near Woodstock.

From*the Fort William Journal. Iu the town of Fort William lives a brave widow, who for years has by dint of constant labor kept the wolf from the door and her little family tegether. From morning ull night she toiled to provide cowforts for her loved ones un- til nature at last protested agaiust such a constant drain on her strength.and so she began to lose health. Soon the slender frame became unable to bear its daily load of toil, and the poor mother was at last forced to give up the unequal contest, and became a burden where she had once been the chief support. Nerv- ous prostration, heart disease, consump- tion, and other names were given to her malady by local physicians, but months passed, during which she suf- fered untold agony, without finding any relief from her sufferings. Palpitation of the heart, dizziness, extreme pain in tae chest, loss of appetite and nervous- ness were some of thesymp oms of the disease, gatherings that caused excruci- ating pain formed at the knee, joints and other parts of the body, and ut last she became perfecily helpless and un- able to walk or even sit down. At this stage she was advised to enter the hos- pital, that ehe might have the benefit of skilled nurses as well as best medical treatment; but after spending some time there without obtaining any relict the poor woman gave up all hope of re- covery and asked to be taken home. So emaciated and weak had she become that her friends were shocked at her appearance, and so utterly hopeless was her condition that it was like mock- ery to speak hopeful_y of her ultimate recovery. What then was the astonish- ment of all who had known her dread- ful condition to hear that she had at last found a remedy whose magical power at once demonstrated the fact that where there is lifethere is hope. Tie name of this remedy that worked such a wonderful change in such a short time was Dr. William's Pink Pills, and after taking five boxes she was able to walk about and visit her friends. Her strength gradually but surely returned and in a few months from the time she began using the medicine she was able to resume her work. The subject of this article,Mrs. Jane Murcelle, is well known, and her youthful and healthy appearance to-day causes people to ex- claim—wonders will never cease. She attributes her restoration to her family, Solely to the viriuesto be found in Dr. William’s Pink Pills, and experience she hopes, may put some other sufferer on the right road to health. This great remedy enriches and pur- ifies the blood, strengthens the nerves, and inthis way goes tothe root of disease, driving it from the system, and curing when other remedies fail.

How London's Fesition Has Changed ia the Centuries, One of the most striking features of English history is the change which has taken place iu the relative importance of her seaports. Even during the present gev- eration there have been some notable vari- atione, certain porte showiog the signs of decadenes and others advancing towards the front. London itself, although she keeps her place of primacy, scarcely dis- plays the commercial preponderasce which is exhibted by New York on thie side of the Atlantic. Without going back tothe time when the so-calied Cinque ports, namely Hastings, Dover, Sandwich, Romney, and Hythe, mouspolized Eugland’s commerce, we may recall the fact that in 1203 Lon- don’s trade on)y slightly exceeded that of Boston, or of Southampton, or of Lynn, which followed inthe order named. At the date of the siege of Calais (1347) London, the greater part of whose trade was then transacted by the Hanseatic League, was surpaseed in the number of shipsand men contributed to the Royal fieet by Yarmouth, Fowey and Dartmouth, and was almost equalled by Bristol, Ply- mouth Winchelsea and Southampton. About three and a half centuries after- ward, that is to say, in 1702, we find London controlling a considerable larger share of the nation’s tonnage than she does t-day, the figures for Londoa being 84,882 avd forall English ports 261,226 tows. At this date Bristol held the second place; next came Newcastle,then Yarmouth and then Liverpool. A century later the tonnage of London was 668,262, and that of all the posis of the United King- dom 1,682,406 tons. Liverpool and New castle oceupy the second and third places, each showing about 140,000 tons, but Yarmouth and Bristol had fallen to the nipth and tenth places respectively. Southampton stood nineteenth on the list, and Glasgow barely obtained mention with 10,051 tons. Cardiff, destined to meke so great a figure in our day, could muster at the beginning of the century only 1,096 tons. Now let us observe the changes which the last quarter of century have witness- ed. To this end Jet us compare the stat- istics for 1872 with those for 1893. At both dates London and Liverpool ranked first and second in respect to tonnage en- tered, the two ports being credited ir. 1893 with 7,782,402 and 5,251,570 respectively. Cardiff, which occupied the fifth place in 1872, had rieen to the third place twenty- one years jater ; Hull remained stationary in the fourth place, aud Southampton in the sixth; Newcastle e«ank from the third to the fifth place. Glasgow, which in 1872 was the tenth port in point of magnitude, had become the seventh in 1893, aud dur- ing the same period Middlesvoro had jump- ed from the eigiteenth to the eightu place. Hartlepoo!, on the other hand, dropped from theninth place to the twenty first. If we leok at percentages of gain we fiud eome still more surprising figures. Thus at Newport the percentage of grain during the period named was 352, at Fleetwood, 596, and at Kirkcaldy 847, per cent. Even London, in spite of all the reports that trade is being driven away from the Thames, advanced ata greater rate than the average gain of the United Kingdom, 80 far as imports are concerned, and even with regard to exports kept pace with it. Her imports now constitute slightly more than a third of the whole, GRAND RIVER BUOY SERVICE, soe Sir,—In your issue of the 15th, inat., I notice a letter signed by Geo. E. Saville, in which he accuses me of making false statements regarding the number and positions of the buoys and stakes in Grand River on October 2nd. I would ask Master Saville why (if my *tatements were false) was it necessary for himself and hie grandfather since that date to spend four days placing buoys and stakes in the channels between Annandale and Bridge- town. He tries to convey the impression that he has fulfilled his contract to the saiisfaction of the Harbor Master,while, at the same time, he admits his inability to do so by acknowledging that the work “that was done” was done by one of his sureties, Now Master Saville, I can assure you that I had none of the contents of an ale cask in me whenI counted the stakes, noram I in any way counected with eith- er Beers orale; but 1am in aposition to prove to the eatiefaction of these in- terested tha. previous to, andon Oct. 2nd, there was only one Jawful stake and four others that were either broken off or not inthe proper position together with a fence rail used as a spar buoy, to mark Flat Rock. Making in all six etakes ard buoys from the head of the cut to Bridgetown. Just a word about the testimony that Master Saville claims to bave (to use bis own words) fromthe best pilot out of Georgetown. Mr. Samuel Hemphill is adinitted to be the best Georgetown pilot who does any piloting on Grand River, and he informs me that oa Oct. 16:h he piloted a vessel 10 Bridgetown, and on that occas- ion he found the stakes to be far satiefactory. Master Saville also accuses me of having a crusted brain. Well Lcan assure him that he wil] never be troubled by the same disease, for the little brain that he has is far too soft to become crusted. I would suggest to Master Saville that he study carefully the instructions turnish- ed him by the harbor master. If he does to he can have no further exéuse tor repeating his glowing misrepresentaticn of the I1tn inst., which, if too freely indulged in, will unfit him for the duties of Church to have had residents of from forced upon bim by the Arnandale.
