EDITORIAL MUSINGS. \Vliai has become of the old Metho- dist field meeting * Like everything mundane U appears to have passed away never more to return. In this section of country it flourished at one timo "like a green bay tree," but it has long since become obsolete. Our recollection carries us back to but one n ^ular old-fashioued Methodist "field meeting." That one was held twenty- live years arfo. The building in which it was held was supported by pillars raised by nature's hand. The roof was the vault of heaven, painted by tin i . HI hand ol Omnipotence. The pulpit wan a pile of logs, and Ii 'ht was furnished by torches made from pitch pine knots. At night the i-cctiu was impressive. The preacher, ikchkimiug to the multitude, pointing the way to salvation in good old-fash- ioned method ; the audience sitting beneath and around him like . pirits of the wood, their forms appear- ing to dance in the shadows formed by those daring pine torches, while far above through soughing, sighing tree tops tin) Htars "sang together.' lu lull* of pulpit elocution strange and eerie sounds pierced the almost- pliere. Frogs sang loudly in the marsh ; the owl hooted his dismal notes, and tlie straugu sweet chant of tlir ni^la bird resounded from no one knew just where. Who could wonder that, with such surroundings, the lliblc message sei-nied to fall with more than usual power in that old cathedral of nature the forest of (iod's raising. Then the message seemed to come with clearer meaning, uid the preacher's heart was glad- .ii-iiid with responsive hearers. Every individual appeared to be in touch with i.ntuu', and wln.ii this is the case with man he in not far from (iod. I liit i v< n as tho laws of nature un pi T|K uiully chaii^'inj; so have church iiK-lliod-i chiiuged in thin respect, until n iw we hear no more of the traiiMi-iit ojM-:i air liold meeting. It.hus givou place to (he more elaborate ('ha- i.il Intel-national conventions, uinl probably with justice. Still, we drop a tear to tin- luumory of the old Id nitctiny of many years IfOi There is something nearly akin to a rebellion in Newfoundland. England has trampled upon the rights of Newfoundlanders by trading their fishing privileges away to the French, and public meetings are being called all over the island dnouucing the transaction and threatening dire vengeance if matters are not righted. The Islanders HIV worthy of sympathy and will probably now come into con- federation to got it. They will recog- nize now where the provinces could assist them quite materially. The laborious work of our legisla- tors at Toronto was finished on Mon- day. One hundred and forty-nine acts were the product of this session, a truly good showing if they were of much importance which many of them are uot. The partial abolition of exemptions was the taut act passed. most The Reformers of Ualdimand have performed road work, when J, I. Graham produces a certificate that the road work was pei formed.
