Allin, the worthy pastor, taking the chair gave out a hymn which was well sung by the choir; Rev, Mr. Dafoe, the young man on the circuit, now led in prayer. After another piece from the choir the chairman introduced the lecturer, the Rev, Mr. Webber, of Toronto, in a brief, judicious and appropriate introduction, The lecturer now took the platform and on to company became convinced that a rich treat was in store for them and the result nore than met their anticipations. On entering on his subject the talented Lecturer picked up his audience and carried them back some 275 years and placed them face to face with the first Stuart king who ascended the English throne, James VI of Scotland but I of Eng: laud. The introduction was certainly any. thing but flattering to the young king whose very claim to the throne was called in question and so severely did the. lecturer lay on the lash that had the speaker been anyone but Mr, Webber one wonld almost have supposed that the chagrin felt by our! brethren south the Tweed at having to! accept of such a king as Scotland pleased to give them had nerved the arm which applied the lash. The eloquent lecturer brought his hearers right up to the subject and secured their undevided attention throughs out a lecture of two hours and ten minutes duration carrying them through a period of 85 of the most interesting years of the most interesting period of the world's history. Mr Webber has few equals as a lecturer, he understands his subject to perfection, he re- quired no notes but for over two hours he kept his audience rivited to the subject by a coutinued flow of eloquence, faithful delinia- tion judicious but withering declamation and showing oratorical powers of a high degree. The number present was small to what should have been, in fact the whole com. munity ladies and gentlemen should have heard it and no one conld hear it without profiting by it. It was certainly a rich historical feast toall who heard it and if those who were absent only knew what they lost by their absence they would deeply re- gret it and would not again miss hearing Mr Webber if we should again have the good fortune to have him around this section of country, The community are much indebted to the B. C. friends for affording them an opportunity of hearing one of the most ¢lo. quent lecturers in the province. We refrain from giving even a synopsis of the lecture partics must hear it to know any- thing of it. ne ay of B. ho P- ch as ce ly er An Interesting Finish . The closing session of the Brock council was held in the town ball, Sunderland, on in Saturday last, and perhaps no more satis- factory closing took place with any other council in the province.
