With the former aspect of this painful question he did not attempt to deal ; no"* Canada Contral Railway 17 21070( could he well be expected in a brief ad« dress of this character, bet the propriety of investigation in regard to the phono« mona was asserted. The figures them« selves tell their own story with regard to the spread of this evil. The expense of the Liimatic Asylams at Beauport and 8t. lJohn-, for the first year after Confederation, reach to but $97,946, but they now re=" ]quin the ernomous amount of $163,000. ‘Tae miscellaneous charities exhibit an equally startling: demand, receiving now $46,890, against but $27,300 a fow years ago. This enormous expansion of dutlay speaks ill for the state of the "people in many localities, _ and | threatens the â€" public exchequerâ€" â€" wilh _ se» rious _ embarrussment. , If . povrerty and mental disease should continue‘ to spread at this rate for the next seven years, a very oppressive burden would ‘be laid upon the inhabitants of a Province not now very prosperous. Even allowing for a moderate growth of revenue, the in« erease nfight do little more than ‘ barelJ meet the of the above unfortunate classes. We see that the Government have been Ruiting down various items : of expense to be in a position to meet any contingency. Immigration will receive leswthan formerly, and the same with agriculture and colonization roads. ‘The Quebec Opposition have always contended that the public got nothing like an equi valent for the large oxpenditure under those heads, few Frenchâ€"speaking emiâ€" grints to the States being enticed back, not many Europeans settling in the Proâ€" vince, ‘hfi;he colonization grants being injudiciously _ administered _ through favoritism at ‘headâ€"quarters and imcomâ€" petence, or dishonesty in the remote parighes , or _ districts > themjelves . It would urdtonb{. there is pot conâ€" siderable for view of the mat\ er. Cerfainly the Gment have been most oper|aanded in. their \dealings with these rel interests, but without much evid , so far, of any great im & in the farming of the Province, at laast in the French districts, or in the of its population, of the settlement of ' back districts, â€" Of course thereâ€" must be something to show in the way of coloniz, atiod, for there would snaturally be an outflow of the surplus population of the older districts, to the unoceupied lands to the rear, and the influence of @lergymen and other leading people, ‘has been exâ€" erted, to stop the emigration to the States. Then, much money has, or ought to have been, laid out on roads into the wilderness, which would gend to encourage settlement. But the Treasurer must have aâ€" shrowd suspicion, by this time, that: the Province has not got value for its many hundreds of thousands, else he would not now reduce â€" the _ grants â€" under . these pogishes y t It would be h siderable er.

It would never do to argue, in reply ‘that the good lana of Quebec is all settled. Such is not, the case, nor will â€" it : be for many a year at the present rate of pros gress. But, to be sure the Government have initiated a new railway policy, which threatens to employ all their available re« sources for many a day, There is justificaâ€" tion for retrenchment in all ‘possible directions, undoubtedly, with a view to the assistance of the new railways.â€" They will prove the bost colonizition roads and inducements to settlement in the new dite tricts.

Can the Province afford the two millions in the North Shore and Nortbern Colonzation Roads, and the three million two bundred and eighty thousand dollars to the others? As arâ€" gued by the Treasurer not more than four millions may be necessary, while the Government for this money can take back. five or six thillion acres of land.â€" ‘The inâ€" terest on four millions would not exceed $200,000 a year, while there cannot be a doubt: that . the impulse given <to the trade of the country by those great stimu» lators, new railways, .would produce & beneficial change in a few years amounting toa revolution. We can speak with <con, fidence of the prospect of the North Shorg Roads up to Hull, which would speedily be carried up to Deep Water, or to “-‘ mections with the Pacific Railway . at Nipissing. ° ‘Then, ~ perhaps, 'in-[ portant tributary roads, hike tueGatineau branch, would s00n ‘niake their appearance, swelling itmmensly the trafficot the main line down to Quebes. If a great portion of her people have been apathetic on this subject too long, : the Government propose setting them a good example, though even this course has its dangers in encouraging the habit, already too prevalent, of looking to it for every» thing as to a special Providence. The in« habitants of the Ottawa region have a great interest in this new â€" railway . policy» and may naturaily be expected to wish it, or some such schemes, all possible success as well on local as on general‘ grounds.

Into such m house none but the highly fa. vored can enter on a footing of equality. Uhere is no room there for the poor and thie needy, the mainied and ‘the afflicted, not of the family, "It is ‘exclusively "my house~‘‘ God‘s house, however, is open to all. The very poorest may enter in, and indeed, are invited to come freely. " Ho, ye that thirst, .p?moh the spring where living waters‘flow ‘‘ is the invitation given. ‘ There is no mere opening of the door and doling out of alms, but a hearty welcome. «*Seek ye the Lord and He shall be found." 'lm‘il all that Chrisâ€" tians have to do, \ it . is to be hoped that generations yet unborn, shall seek Himwithin thece walls. f Not only was prayer seemly in public, but it had been alleged, as those who read the periodicals ofâ€" the ‘day well knew, that 5it _ should be . the _ chief feature. in ‘church . services. . Prayer, oral > m': ;Eo-l. mfi in the latter , as the offering praise, to .the n:t High in ps;\m:,%yum. and versifi> ed. paraphrases of scripture was undoubt. edly of the first importacce if the heart were in it. And surely there ought to e as much real feeling in singing praises to God as m;}mufimmfibwbifiâ€" 4 in senti or patriotic songs. . The singing of the praises of God had been long practiced and npoordiuxztbe Directâ€" ory of the Presbyterian iwoff it formed an important feature in . public worship. In the periodicals alluded to, it had been recommepded that there should be ‘a sx ‘ between the prayers, spoken or sung, the sermon, so that those who were indif. ferent as to the nrmo:,. or imlpsbl:m:f appreciati 'nfi 18, mlfilt,\ ive an opportuni ;ggnve. o was fromâ€" (es & 'lt{l this view of the case. .. P ing had a geal value to men and was essential to the spread and knowledge. of the Gospel. . 1t had been to the Jews a stumbling ‘ blook and to the Greeks foolishiness ; byt: it was not the learned. the rich, and the powerâ€" ful, who were called, so nauch as the meek and Jowly.. ‘The foolishness of the Chrisbs i‘u;rrenchar was of shore value than the wisdom of the most ‘learned of those who knew not God.; that which seemed to men of great intellect to be foolishness, nkht be looked upon as the wisdom of G In ecvaciny . salicions â€" knowledze to the conveying â€" religious . knowledge to the heathen, converted natives were often mpxogod. not that they knew so much of what Christisnity demanded ag those who had carried it into farâ€"off and unconverted lands did, but because those natives knew ‘ mwrfioahrly the habits and. feelings of their fellows, their : susceptibilities and self, HisYoice it was true was heard in the lightning‘s flash, in the wild roar of the tempest, in the mlghtfihufln‘- of the ocean, and in the rumblings of the earth« q‘:ihid But sromhm l’g.kfmm Bu:e word of God.did not alone s ot â€" His power as did the olomo?u. but ‘held forth His love, His mercy, His goodnees, Ris jusâ€" tice, and His truth. ‘The Presbyterian Church had wisely lent a special impor« tance to preuching. Is aroused men to refloot&u. it < stirred _ up â€" the human mind to thought and to exertion, And it ‘was such an aid to bringing even the indifferent to a sense of their indif. ference, and to its consequences, as to make it a part of public worship â€"which could ~not possibly be dispensed with." ‘Me had no intention of speaking . controâ€" versially, but he might say that the Christian denomination to which. ah individual belonged might be shrewdâ€" ly gaessed at by the answers given to gho‘ simple question :â€"" Going to Church ?" One replies, "I am going to mass;" another,‘"‘l am off to prayers ;" and. yet another, lam going to hear a sermon.‘ ‘¥he Church of the living God he might say was open to all, and it would be an out.mio to think of having _ class churchismâ€"one building erected for the public worship of God to be ‘ wholly posâ€" sessed and occupied exclusively by the merchant, another by the artisan, and a third by the farmer. In the House of God, rich and poor, meet together, All were equal ‘in the eyes of God, and he earnestly trusted that ‘this fact would never be forgotten. 5 x therein the ark‘ of the covenant mor the glorious presence of God, that mysterious spirit between the Cherubims . The spirit of prophecy also ceased with the building of the second Temple, and the sacred fire kindled from Heaven was wantâ€" ing. Yet notwithstanding all these deâ€" fects the Prophetâ€"says the second â€" house shall be Kfi than the ° first. â€" The Preacher proposed to consider the words of his text under three heads. First â€"The character under which Christ is nere foretold, *The desire of â€" all nations shall come. ‘Becondâ€"The circumstances which will attend the advent of Christ. . Thirdâ€" The results which are ascribed ~to the ads vent of Christ in this passage. __.‘â€" ‘The preacher described : in eloquent terms the condition of things prior to the coming of Christ, the desire of the Heathen for adeliverer, the coming of the Magi or wise man of the . East, showing that they had some definite revelatious of the comâ€" ing Messish. ‘He then pourtrayed some of the ciroumst@hces which attended the advent of Christ. It affected the State as well gas the Church, earth as well as Heaven, luwm away . everything that was corrupt. things passed away, and everything became new. _ Nations were shaken to their foundation.

The glory of Solomon‘s Temple was in its ?ll.l‘ill |f:endour, the glory of the ‘Lemple in the presence of God, the Divine Presence, Emmanual God with us, the light of the knowledge of the of God in the face of his Son Jeu: the light to guide our feet in the . way of peace. Theâ€"preacher then alluded to the spirit of prophecy â€"which existed in the Church at the present day, teaching the ways and tmeans ‘of Salvavion, . And thus everything th&t‘wn in Solgmon'l 'l‘alx:pl‘; reflected on Becond‘ Nl&b- former they had the shadow, in the latter they had‘the substance. _ _ _ â€" In closing the Reverend Divine express» ed the joy he experienced at witness~ ing"the completion ‘of ‘the handsome edifice, where they were that day assem» bled, and trusted that in that house they would re:':‘ve & h;go meun;e_ot the goodness of God, and in conâ€" clusion nmzrzu hearers that that it wu‘n‘::lin it mn!ml.lt;.pl::dlm, but in itof spiri er that lendor 0/ tgg ehurcre'thd. .p testig® _ After service the ordinance of baptism was dispensed. s EVENING SERVIOR. Ab fiofovm service the handsome edifice was to overflowing with an attentive and devout congregation. â€" The sermon was preached by the Rev. Prow fessor McVicar, of Montreal, : who chose for his text the words "work out your own salvation : with fear and trembling, for ::ui: God whin:fworke::oa in g.on bot.h’ to will and to do his easure," Phillipigns, Cap., JL, verses 12 and 13. _ He pictured in glowing language the condescensionâ€"of (firhfi in oomini“npon‘ e earth hg, save l:::m’ mankind, ::d. while u preaching: going bout dofi: good, and ~lastly, his exaltation at the right hand of God. . The text divides iaf into two parts, first, the fact that worked in you, and secondly is view of these indisputable facts, therefore, work out your own saivaâ€" tion with fear and trembling, because God worketh ..in you. . God _ worked for ®il men, ‘whether Christian or ungodiy, whether you believe it or not. Hemaketh is rain to fall on the just and the un jugt, and His light to shine on the evil and: tne good, He controls all â€"laws Sacred and Divine. It was impossible for a man to read the Scriptures without be ing moved either for evil or for good. He might not be meltedâ€" by the fire of God but he would feel its glow. : God worketh in you whether you receive the Spirit or not. But how much more was this all true among God‘s own children. His love is nearer to you, He worketh in you by His invisible presence, and in Him you live and move and have your l bethg. Again, He worketh in you effectu> d}y,fl:giun sovereign manner. He re-‘ news the whoie man, He makes a new creature, and it becomes perfectly natpral for Him to will and to do of His good pleasure, ‘The preacher in the second piece went on to remind dis hearers thatâ€" notwithstanding â€" all this, it was their duty Tb be active in the cause of Christ, and in view of all these indisputâ€" able facts, to work out their own salvation. | He enjoined them to search the lan‘pt\uu which are profitable for % or il!-‘ ‘struction, ntd for reproof. y should not expect Uigd to do that for them which they oouldm ?flotbr m'a T::i fact | that the s wor em did not 1B "m&d. u'n“lin’f hth'o tery : | prayer, strd yg for mask l avil passions, innate in the breasts s men. < 'm'h spiritual aftairs y | was necessary for their dterrial Seivation.
