The Montreal witness
Fortement imprégné de sa mission chrétienne et défenseur du libéralisme économique, The Montreal Witness (1845-1938) est demeuré une entreprise familiale durant toute son existence. [...]
The Montreal Witness: Weekly Review and Family Newspaper voit le jour le 5 janvier 1846 à la suite d'un numéro prospectus paru le 15 décembre 1845. Le Witness, comme on se plaît à le nommer, est l'oeuvre du propriétaire, éditeur et fondateur John Dougall, né en 1808. Écossais d'origine, il émigre au Canada en 1826 et se marie en 1840 avec Élizabeth, fille aînée de la célèbre famille Redpath. Ce mariage lui permet sans doute de s'associer financièrement à cette famille et de tisser des liens avec la haute bourgeoisie anglophone de Montréal.

Le parcours littéraire et journalistique de John Dougall est étroitement lié aux mouvements évangéliques puisqu'il a été membre fondateur de la French Canadian Missionary Society, « organisme opposé aux catholiques et voué à évangéliser et convertir les Canadiens français au protestantisme » (DbC).

La fougue religieuse de l'éditeur a provoqué une réplique de la communauté anglophone catholique. C'est ce qui explique la naissance du journal True Witness and Catholic Chronicle en 1850. Le Witness suscite tellement de réactions que Mgr Ignace Bourget en interdira la lecture aux catholiques en 1875.

The Montreal Witness est demeuré tout au long de son existence une entreprise familiale. John Dougall, propriétaire et éditeur depuis 1845, cède l'entreprise à son fils aîné John Redpath Dougall en 1870 qui, à son tour, passe le flambeau à Frederick E. Dougall en 1934. Ce dernier sera propriétaire et éditeur jusqu'à la disparition du journal en 1938.

The Montreal Witness a connu différentes éditions (hebdomadaire, bihebdomadaire, trihebdomadaire) et plusieurs noms. Outre son appellation initiale, il paraît sous Montreal Weekly Witness: Commercial Review and Family Newspaper, Montreal Weekly Witness, Montreal Weekly Witness and Canadian Homestead, Montreal Witness and Canadian Homestead, Witness and Canadian Homestead ainsi que Witness.

En 1938, à la veille de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, les conditions économiques sont désastreuses et le nombre des abonnements diminue constamment. Malgré de vibrants appels aux lecteurs pour soutenir le journal, celui-ci doit cesser de paraître par manque de financement. Le dernier numéro, paru en mai 1938, comporte de nombreuses lettres d'appui et de remerciements. Ainsi se termine une aventure journalistique qui aura duré 93 années.

[" COMMERCIAL REVIEW AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.Vor.XIX.CORRESPONDENOE.NEW ENGLAND.Sr.JOBNSBURT, Vt, April 14, 1864.tis very gritifying to notice the marked change in public sentiment towards England and Canada, One does not now hear, as formerly, io raïlrond cars and steamers bilter invectives against England.Itis generally admitted that the course pursued by the British Government, in maintaining strict neutrality, ia just and right, and conelstent with the friendly relations so long maintained between the two Governments.The + Alabama \u201d question ie still, however, a source of Irritation.From New York to this place I Lad a good opportunity of conversing with some roost intelligent men on the war.The impression seemed to be that it would continua for at least three years, and there appeared not the slightest disposition to give up until the authority of the government was restored throughout the country.\u2014 Most of the Regimente whose term of service has expired have re-eulisted.1 fiad many dissppointed is reaching Montreal at the time specified in the advertisements of the different lines.The trouble is there are only two connecting lines, that of the Oham- plaka boats with the Hudson boats, and the R.R.via White River Juaction, Springfield and New Haven.This latter line seldom misses connection, and although longer, is the most expeditious route to New York, ot vice versa.\u2014 Leaving New York in the 11§ o'clock a.m.train you reach Montreal at half-past nine the next morning, The Hudson RR.conpects with the Montreal line, and to get there in 24 hours can only be accomplished by all the lines being on time, which is rarely the case, Iam particular in reference to the route, as [ find so many Canadians who bave suffered not & little from detentions.The New Haven and Springfield line takes one through the most thriving mena- facturing snd best farming district of New England.The evidences of weaith and thrift are apparent at every turn,\u2014no sign of poverty or suffering.Towns and villages dot the road and betoken prosperity.The villa residences show great architectural taste, and tbe farmhouses are the very pictures of sural comfort.Scarcely a stream is allowed to run its course without supplying the power for busy manu- factories, which give wealth to the owners, aud employment to thousauds of mechanics.The Bchool-bonses, colieges, and public institutions are substantial brick or stone buildings, surrounded by grounds tastefully laid out.Church Spires \u2018were above the beautitul ens which adorn the streets of the villdges.Oze csunot pass through the valley of tbe Connecticut without being impressed with the sterling character of New England.The colleges of New Haven, Hartford, Amberst, Dartmouth, and the Female Seminary of South Hadley, richly endowed by private liberality, afford means of the best education to all classes in the community, both rich and peor.We speak of the resources of & country ag derived from the soil or mines.Now England depends, except to a limited extent, upon neither of these for the pre-eminence she enjoys in commeres and wealth.The soil, with the exception of the valley of the Convectieut, aod other rivers, is not so well adapted for agricultural purposes as many of ihe other States, It is to tbe industry and enterprise of people, deeply imbued with religious principle, she owes her greataess, which is not more conspicuous in commerce than in science, literatare and art, Many regard the Yankee pedlar, or horse-trader, a8 representatives of Now England; as well might we take tbe ragged boys that follow the band of a British regiment, aa representatives of the army.The former are the lowest development of Yackes humanity.It is vire Edwards, Beechers and Stuarts, in Theology ; the Billimens, Hitchcocks and Danas, in Science ; Webster and Adams, in Politics; Loogfellow and Prescott, in Literature; Lawrence and Peabody, in Commerce; the Faitbacks and \u2018Willlstons, in Manufactures ; that give the character to New England.Tbe place from which 1 date this letter, leads me to speak of these latter two whose examples of nseful lives should afford encouragment to young men.T8B MODM MANUPACTTANRS.As we pass through Northampton, on the ht may be seen in the distance the noble of buildings which constitute Amberst ol To Mr.Williston the College ls indebted for two of the mos\u2019 promivent of the buîldinge\u2014the Observatory and Students\u2019 Hall ;

water-works supply water for every house, and fountains in the gardens.On every band are indications of thiift, taste and refinement; churches and schools abound.Nature has done much for this viliage, but art and taste render it one of che most cherming places in Vermont.It dates its rise from tbe commencement of the scale manufacture of 1830, Mr.Fairbanks at this time was engaged in preparing hemp for market, and to facilitate tbe operation of weighing it, invented the famous platform scale.Ey his mechanical genius, step bystep the scale has been perfected, until it has now a world-wide reputation and may be found ia all quarters of the globe, 300 men are con- stautly employed; they are unequalled for their kill end intelligence.The anuual produce of their labor ia over half a million dollars.The foundation of tbis prosperity of St, Johnsbury is due to the Christian influence and example of the Messrs, Fairbanke.Their wealth ia devoted 10 the cause of religion and benevolecce ; every good cause receives their aid snd countenance, To their foreman who bad been in their employ for twenty-five years they have recently given a house and lot valued at $10,000.The influence of the employers operates upon their wen, and their relations to each other are of the most happy character.Thess two examples which I bave selected to illustrato New England character are by no means rare.They serve to show that the basis of the prosperity of New England lies in the strength of religious principle of ber people.I do not suppose that all New England manufacturers are Willistons or Pairbacks; but it appears to ma that much of the prosperity, which Is evident to one who travels through that portion of the TU.B,, ie due to the religion of ber people, joined toa spirit of industry and enterprise inberited from their fathers.B.BEGGING IMPOSTORS, [To the Editor of the Montreal Witness.) Lave a chance of secing some of their operations.working.One of thore ways Î8 to carry about à letter, purporting to be signed by leading men of the city.Others beg for poor families.said families of course being themselves.One of the latter named class baw lately honored Griffio- town with a.ebare of ber patronage.Her mode of proceeding was aa follows: Æ rap is heard st the door, you open it\u2014when you find a respectable looking woman standing there, who immediately commences a very touchiog tale, and one that is calculated to touch both beart and pocket of the bearer.Tho tale is something like the following poor wan has unfortu- ately broken his leg,\u2014of course the man has a wile; but rad to relate tho wife is also confined to bed ;~~and what is still worse, there isa family of 5 or 6 small children, one of them only à few days old, and they are starving.Now, Mr.Editor, who could listen to such & story and not give something towards Allevinting such distress?\u2014 Not one; the éd or 1s is banded over\u2014you get her thanks, and she gets your money This woman in her travels happened to call on a lady of my acquaintance \u2014 who, after she had heard the story, asked the address of the family.The address was given: No, \u2014, Willlam Street.The same day the lady went out to eee tbe family, but, unfortunately, nobody in that neighborhood knew anything about the family ; and, if they resided at the number given, it was quite apparent that they must bave made arrangements with the military authorities to Jease them tbe College Gardens, for the number given happened to come on the Garden Wall.Suffice it to say It was spparent that the whole affair a existed in the fertile brain of the impostor, would advise any one, whom this person may favor with a call, to go with her atonce; aud, should she fail to show be place, then hand her over to the police.Another class, are those who feign some dis- ease\u2014for instance blindness or lateness.The other day Tsaw a woman In one of our streets leading a boy by the band, They were walking along quite comfortably, when I noticed the woman etoop down and apparently speak to the boy, you bave often noticed the change a word will make in the actions of peoplo\u2014such a change now took place\u2014the boy who a few moments ago seemed to enjoy health and strength, now was troubled with en apparently sore foot, so bad, in fact, that It seemed to cause him the greatest pain to set bis foot on the ground, The woman then commenced ber visite to the bouses on both sides of tbe streets.I should like to bave had that boy's foot examined, sad if anything could have been done to relleve him, I should say, have it done.1 would also ask you, can nothing be done to prevent the daily exbibition on our streets of thoes poor creatures, whom God in his infinite wisdom has seen St 10 deprive of their reason, snd In some cases tho dae of some of their limbs } On the Place d\u2019Armes, some time ago, I saw one of this class sitting on the sidewalk, witli sn old woman standing over him, and clouting bis ears la good earnest.stopped to see the cause of this ill-treatment, aod I ascertained that the poor scale the manufacture, which bas been for many ! Sin, \u2014I noticed in one of your papers, about a weck ago, an article warning people to beware of begging impostors; and, as my daily duties call me into the streets of the city a great deal, I They seem to have each their particular way of fellow had, apparently, decided to \u201clay up for » rainy day,\u201d in fact he had put one of the coppers given him into his pocket, and the woman who had been watching him from across the way noticed the action.After administering the re- proc, she placed him in what an artist might eal) * a good position,\u201d and then tock her position opposite to watch him, and at the same time catch those who might happen to \u2018pass by on the other side.\u201d Without trespassing further on your time, I would ask why such children are permitted to go through our streets, exposed to the cruelty of those who should protect them?Can nothing be done to prevent it?| A Ruaprr or Tom Wiremss, ST.GEORGE'S BOUIETY.[To the Editor of the Daily Witness.) Sir, \u2014In justice to Mr, W.Tarner, the Secretary of the St, George's Society, I bare to apologise to that gentleman for asserting in my letter, published in the Witness of Saturday, tbat he had ceased his connection with tho Society.The information was giver me by a gentleman con- pected with the press, I, for one, sod Iam sure others, who are known to Mr.Turner, would spurn the idea of casting any reflection upon that gentleman, who, as is well-known, evinces a disposition, at all times, to assist, by hig counsel and advice, thoes of bis countrymen who may happen to seek bim.Having since learned that the Bociety is etill in existence, (and 1 am not responsible for the report of its demise), 1 sincerely trust those of the English residents, who are in business or in full employ, will rally to the support of the Society, augment its funds, and place their officials in a position to meet extreme and urgent cases.I am, Mr.Editor, Your obd\u2019; ¢crvant, Hexer Kn:iauz, BOARD OF ARTS.[To the Editor of the Daily Witness.] Sin, \u2014Some person laboring under a strange hallucination, written you in terms of condemnation of the influence exerted in several societies and public bodies in Montreal by those \u2018placed ug Presidents at their bead.It is made & very special grievanee, that I have kept some one off the Board of Arts, Now, the Board of Arts is made up of ez-officio members aud delegates.I could not, of course, keep out an ex- officio member, placed upon the Board by statute.1 never attended an election of delegates to the Board in my life; never canvassed against the election of anybody.If, then, anybody\u2019a ambition hse been thwarted by unappreciative electors, I cannot fairly be blamed ; if any similar influence hss been exerted to keep any one off the Board of Arts, assuredly it has not been mine.I say nothing about the good taste of this running amuck at all Presidents, nor do I need to add & word in reply to the general accusation.Yoür own reply was quite sufficient.But I think it would have been fairer to me and wy fellow-Presidents, if you bad furnished us and the world with the name of the man, whose too modest merit we aro supposed so cruelly to bave slighted.1 am, Sir, your very obed't servant, B.Casmssaux, President L.0, Board of Arts, &c.Montreal, Ap:i113, (Zo the Editor of the Daily Witness.) Bin,\u2014In reference to the explanations of Mesgrs.Bulmer and Stevenson, volunteered ata recent meeting of the City Council, to the effect that I was refused admimion to the meeting of the License Committee, and also an aspecon of the certificates, on the ground that I was not » citizen of Montreal,\u2014I beg to say, that Alderman Lyman was quite right when be replied that \u201cthe reasons assigned io Council for not permitting bim to be present had not been given to Mr.Willett.\u201d The answer conveyed to me by Mr.Stevenson was fo the effect, that, by a vote of the majority, the Committee bad resolved to stand upon their right to transact their buzinees with closed doors; à decision which he (Mr.8.) exceedingly regretted.I then requested him to make the application for me to be allowed to examine the documents, pontaining the algnatures of citisens, attached to applications for licenses.Had the former decition been, as Mr.S.now represents it, bis reply would necessarily have been: * The Committes object to you personally, because you are not 8 citizen ; but, instead of co answering me, be said that be thought that the Committee would not refuse my request, and he wished me to remain in the ante-room à short time while he presented my second application.When he returned, be said that he was sorry to inform me that tbe Committes had also refused my last request ; and explained, that he had urged them to adopt the contrary course, on the ground of the Agent of tbe Montreal Temperance Society having been granted that privilege oo former occasions.aasigned b The reason gne: Stevenson, at the Connell M an sfter-tbought, and it was groun: uj the fact that they have since been Legal a that they bad no power to withh ments in question from the inspection of any citisen.Thus, the law of necessity bas driven those gentlemen to assume s virtue to which they have evidently no claim; for, at the time of mv application, these ce in common with their other proceedings, were intended to be kept in darkness.My application was neither made nor refused on the ground of olissusbip, There could be no mistake on that score, for sent in my card on which 1 am described as Secretary to the U.C.A.for the T.8.of the L.T.Seeing thas this Aseo- ciation numbers amongst ite members upwards Messrs, Bulmer and meeting, was clearly advised Whast docu of three thousand citizens of Montreal, the refusal appiies to them, and not to me personally, But, why were we invited by a member of the Committee to send a deputation to their meeting, and why were we on the day of their eltting reminded that the meeting would take place at 3 P.M.?Perhaps the Chairman of the Committee can, if he thinks proper, explain this.Yours respectfully, J.Winer, Sec.to the United Canadian Alliance.Montreal, April 16th, 1864.GAME LAW.(To the Editor of the Daily Witness.) Sin,\u2014Mr, Murray's letter is noted.Permit me in reply toquote cisuse 3 of the act, \u201cno person stall snare at any time, or buat, or kill, bay, sel, offer for sale, or have in possession, any grouse, pactridge, ptarmigan, or phessant, between the 1st of March and 30th Augustin any year.\u201d Olause 6 would seem to allow the possession to the 10th of March, and the law ia go far contradictory ; but it ia clear that the mere posscasion of game during the close seagon is illegal, aud there is no provision exonerating the possessors of such game as may bave Leen brought from abroad, Mr.Murray's argument would hold equaily good with regard to game killed in Upper Canada, which I do bope is an absurdity.Citizens should remember that it is a violation of law to purchase game during a cloze seasop, the penalty for which is a fino of $2 to $40 and coste, or imprisonment for not less than 14 days.Sronrsman.DEPLORABLE STATE OF ROME.The National Romen Committee, moved by the crimes recently committed with impunity, has addressed s letter to the general command - ing the French army of occupation, imploring him to protect the lives and property of the citizens, a measure which would be equivalent {0 assuming tho direction of the police.The following are the most important passages of the letter :\u2014 \u201c Route, Feb, 23.\u2018Excellence, \u2014For some time past the city of Rome tas become a real den of assossios ;

butif you prefer a friendly or a benefit society, or provident institution, you need not come to me.\u201d The managers of the Friendly Societies are up in arms against this proposition ; and when, a night or two since, Mr, Gladstone moved the committee on the Bill, be was aseailed right and left by bon, gentlemen representing popular constituencies.\u201d The cry of all was, \u201c You are going to break up and destroy 20,000 friendly societies, wpon which the poor rely for assistance in a rainy day, and you are about to inflict upon the country the nuisance of a paternal Government.\u201d Among the most rampant and noisy asssilante of the Chancellor was Mr.Henry Brinsley Sheridan, the member for Dudley; but Mr Gladstone shut bim up in a very prompt and satisfactory manner, The right bon gentleman brought under notice the case of the British Provident Office, which collapsed a few yearseince, and the affaira of which were investigated by a jury in the Vice- Chancellors Court.The jury found that tbe manager had interpolated words in a deed which altered Ita character after execution.The deed purported to be a sale to the manager, but the words in ted made ita sale to the mans.ger on bel unhappy shareholders still liable.The Chancellor he bad the ship result was thet a little time be dros right upon the rock.Immediately after the oosur- rence of the accident be made every exertion to lighten its consequence to the passengers, and an address of theirs, numerously signed, testifies their approbation of his conduct.Daunt's Rock is a reef about four hundred feet long by about three hundred feet broad, and bass general depth of water of about twelve feet at low water spring tides.This rock lies right in the teack of vessels approaching from the westward, and efforts have been made to have a light ship established upon it.At pre- seat the only warning against this formidable danger isa buoy, which, it is stated, it would be almost impossible to see at nightin & fast ship in gufficient time to prevent mishsp.\u2014 Times Correspondence.THE PRIESTS IN MEXICO, The French authorities have administered some very sharp rebuffa to the Ultramontane prelates of Mexico, and taught them a lesson which we hope they will long remember.The frst open rupture of the French with the priestly party showed that they would stand no nonsense.The soldiers (as etated some time since) were refused admission to mass.The edict was imperative, and the officials avowed that they had no option in the matter.The General, however, ordered the artillery to the front, and told the haughty clergy that if the keys of the church were not forthcoming he would open the doors with can- nox balla, There was no time granted for deliberation ; with the stern, decisive tone of one accustomed to command, he insisted on obedience to his orders The priests perceived that they bad met their match, and yielded to his will with evident reluctance.This event has been succeeded by another of far more importance.The Regency have recently issued a decrce guaranteeing tbe possessors of Church property and the holders of billa piven in payment for it, This step was taken in conformity with instructions received from the Emperor Napoleon, but the Supreme Court interposed such difficulties that no legal decision could be obtained from the various tribunals, Great dissatisfaction was con- sequentiy expressed that high functionaries appointed to administer the regard to the wishes of the Episcepate than to that the government, after several fruitless en.pot away half à point, and the THE MONTREAL WITNESS, The French Revolution of 1789, which looked #8 if it would shake all thrones and dominations, and establish the rights of maa on the ruins, has culminated in the spurious Bonaparte now be- stridiog the neck of the French nation end dictating law to Europe.He, too, is one of the plagues which issued forth from the abyss of Reaction which swallowed up tbe eager hosts which blessed the advent of the Revolution of 1848, He lu France, Von Bismarck in Prussia, and Antonelil in Rome, are the present fruits of that great uprising, which .promised the dallverance of the nations.But we thank God for all these ptroggies ;

but the great depth to which the vessel was submerged rendered the task à work of difficulty and the result mot so large as might be desired.Should the weather continue as flue agat present, the destruction of the vessel need not be immediately apprebanded.The \u2018City of New York\u201d 13a serew of two thousand five bundred tons register, and 740 borse-power, and but three yearsold, She lzan prie swift vessel, and made a passage across the Atlantic said to have been the fastest ever acoomplishsd by a screw.The voyage \u2018whiok has just terminated so dissstrously oc.coupled bat a few houre over nine days.Her commander, Capt.Kennedy, is a seaman of great experience, and when in command of the Great Hastern made the only completely successful voy! ever made by that sbip.The occasion vus the trans troops to Osnadas fa the Jour 1862, Ospt.Kennedy was on deck at the timeof the accident.Tbe moonlight, which might have been 8 favorable circumstance, decided him into a chango of course, which caused the accident.Daunt's Rock lies about a mile aude half from Roberts Head, on the mainlend.1t }s Bot unusual to take the presage between, by \u2018way ofa short cat, there being 3 channel of great tb, This course was selected by Oapt.Ken- , 80d he might bave passed through with per- foct safety but that thn shadow thrown by the strong moonlight deceived him into the belief tbat was nearer to the land than proved to bo the case.Under this mistaken impression archbishop, who issued a solemn protest against it, advised tho judges to persevere in their obstinate recusancy, and then fulminated à Latin excommunication, which occupied 27 sheets of parchment, against tle Regency and all who were cencerned in the secularisaticu of the pro- porty of the Church.On the following day the judges of the Supreme Court declared that the; would abide by that direction, and formally denied the obligation of the decree, Thus, by the violence of the bishops and the wretched subser- viency of the judges a deadlock was produced.The acts ofthe government had been contemp- tuouely set aside by its servants, and condemned as abominable by tho united voice of the hierarchy, The era, however, has passed when men of spirit and resolution are to be cowed by such insolent vapouring.The Regency, therefore, within two days put forth a proclamation, in which all the facts were concisely stated, and appended thereto a decree, dismissing the obstructive judges from their posts.Their successors have dy beeu nominated, no disturbance has arisen, and the citiZens are congratulating themselves on the check which has been 20 ably imposed on Papal ambition, It ie somewhat singular that the Emperor, whose representatives are acting with such consummate wisdom in the West, should, at Rome iself, uphold and maintain the very system which there he denounces, This apparent inconsistency is, however, of easy solution, Public opinion is more ripe for this onward movement in the one cage than in the other.In Europe ho is restrained by considerations of policy which need not be regarded in Mexico.But there are numerous indications springis, sp bere which show thata reat change is po ly taking possession of the minds of the foremost Roman Catholics.\u2014 London Record.LESSONS FROM THE PAST, This war Is, in effect, a revolutionary one\u2014 not for the deliveracce of the South from the tyranny of the North, but for the deliverance of the millions, North and South, white and black, from the despotism of the most despicable oli- archy tbat ever oppressed mankind, It dif- En from preceding revolutions in no material particular as to origin or progress, and it becomes us to ses to Ît that it does not fail of its objoot ay lamentably as almost ail of them bave done.Like them ft came without observation, in its beginnings\u2014the gradual revolution in men's thoughts and opinions having prepared the way before it, Like them, the physical power and moral force are on the rightside, Unlike them, let us hope that it will not be brought to nought by the politic craft and cunaiog of the \u2018weaker and worse side.The bistory of the world's striviogs afer reformation hardly justifies the confident assurance of some anthusiastic spirits that nothing can go wrong with us, and that the deliverance of the slaves and ourselves, at onoe, from the slavebold- fog thraldom, is certain beyond the possibility of defeat or sven of delay.The revolution whioh we call the Reformation, growing out of the changes io men's miads for long years, seemed at first naif it were to sweep Popery from Burops.The chance of France yielding to it seemed at one time more than that Eogland would, and Bpain was hoped for, and the whole of Germany surely reckoned on, Yet the boundaries of the two faithe bave remained tubstaatislly as they were at the time of Lu- her's death, and tbe numerical majority of Ghistendom ls on the side of the Pope at this der.But this is due te crafe rather than to orce.The English revolution of 1643, which probs.bly would have changed the whole face of Ku- ropeaueffairs, could Cromwell have lived 20 yeara longer, was toppled over by trickery and treachery from the heights of glory into the foul abyss of the Restoration, Our own Revolution succeeded in conquering oar independence of Eagland, but only fora bandiul of man-stealers to cheat us of it, whose cunning has made it necessary, while their folly bas méde it possible, to make the stand we are sow doing to vindicate it to ourselves, of religious congregations.This helps the like spirit and activity.Mr.Bpargeon's congregation fills complete]; the imine Tabernacle erected for their um, A house of double the size would be equally crowded.The congregation amounts to three large audiences packed together on the main Boor and in the two spacious galleries.Ere inch of sitting and standing room is occupied, The editor describes the spectacle at the ordinary Sabbath night services as grand beyond s parallel.The sggregate, with the households it represents, would form & considérable township requiring, for decent accommodation, well- nigh 8,000 residences.The church membership is increasing eo fast that in seven years it alone will iil the vast edifice, at the average of past additions.Here is the report for 1863.« Increase By baptism [adults] By letters from othor churches.a ne « 427 « 228 2,817\" A large percentage of the stated attendants on the Tabsroacle are persous in the prime of life\u2014young men\u2014beyond ail common averages toexplain the small number of deaths, and also, the intense vitality and energy of this mammoth church, The pastor, not quite thirty years old himself, is the centre of a mighty attraction to this part of the great London world.\u2018There js about the whole concern a social grandeur, à moral romance, that dazzles, delights, and captivates the rising generation,\u201d The internal working of this great Christian organization is a model of systematic and thorough method.We are prepared to be told, that, popular ns Mr.Spurgeon ly able as an edmicistrator of the pastoral office, Wo have always belloved that effects must have a cause, but our faith in human common sense is next to our faith in divine sovereignty.\u201cMr, Spurgeon isnot merely the preacher, the orator; for his years he is second to none as 4 man of business, in the best sense a thorough man of the world, He possesses mother wit ina very high degree, and would have been a prince in any department of secular life, We doubt ifthe great Wesley himself was his superior at bis years ; and, as like draws to liko, h$ is surrounded with a body of thoroughly practical men in the persons of his Deacons and Elders, such aa have not often been combined in one fellowebip.Mr.Spurgeon himself is not only a most intense worker, but invented with sa atmosphere where none can rest, Corgelius Winter, who had been for years resl.dent with Whitfield in Tabernacle House, ssid, \u2018There is uo rest for man or beset after 4 o\u2019clook la tbe morning ;* the great Evangelist himself preached daily at six.The venerable Henry logre, Westey's trustee and biographer, in reply to & question we once put to him concerning the immortal man, said, * The thing was dificult to explain, While always calm and cool himself, he set fire to everything around bim\u2019 Bo it is precisely with Spurgesn ;

He has ten Deacons and twenty-two Elders, a few of these geutiemen, from their peculiar aptaess, sustain both offices, and the task of neither assuredly is a sinecure, The one order has to do with temporal, and the other with spiritual things.\u201d We thenk the editor for this statement, snd commend it to all pastors for & study.Every parish can give profitable employment to just such business force and talents, on any seale of .Tost euch a leadership shoald bear fruits in Christian liberality is to be sxpected Scarcely any very poor or rich people belong to this society : Simost none, either, who are aot ready eoutibutors to Îta channels of benef- cence.a8 a preacher, ke is equal- he nder this example of an apostolical Fe with the query suggested sagacious, earnest, holy zeal everywhere brought to bear with tenfold power upon all our communities in city and country for the common salvation, and the glory of Christ the Master?When we get into tbe secret of this man\u2019s life, we find it a wholly and most heartily consecrated life to one only thisg\u2014the kingdom of Jeaus the Lord.With uncommon powers of simple, bonest elcquence, for which he is indebted, more, it may be, to grace tban to nature, we find bim a wise, sensible, scriptural, busy, prayerful worker together with Chuist, leading, encouraging, exciting his flock by word and act, to follow him in all good works ; and eomehow or other, they are eager to meet his wishes and to help bis plans.It is a moet beautiful object to contemplate\u2014a mighty power li.a this working with the energy and steadiness of a vast moral and spiritual engine to ssve immortal souls.Mr.Spurgeon and his church are setting the Obristian world a splendid example of how to live and labor and conquer for Cbrist.\u2014Bos- ton Recorder.THE SASKATCHEWAN, Bia Laxs January 1, 1884.INDIAN HOSPITALIIT, We left Oarlton on the 16th July.The large brigade that accompanied us from Red River, now remained bebind while we pressed forward, Ob! how dreary and lonely it was!
