Rev. W. M. Punshon, M.A., preached at 11 o’clock, from the text~ “Whom have I in heaven but thee? and them is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and heart faileth, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.” Psalms, 73â€"25, 26. The force and beauty of the sermon was such as only Mr. Pun- shon can give. After the sermon, re- freshments were served in the lecture- shon can give. After the sermon, reâ€" freshments were served in the lectureâ€" room. To the substantial repast there furnished, all sat down to satisy themâ€" selves that the fair ones of Maple are notl to be surpassed in the way of satisfyingl “the keen demands of the appetite.”i The chair was then taken by A. W.i Lauder, Esq, l/I.P.P., who, after somel introductory remarks, brought to the‘ platform the Rev. W. W. Carson. He was astonished to find himself placed 1n} the midst of such a formidable array of i talented orators. In fact, he felt like a pigmy among giants. He was to be followed by one who had been their pastor. This one was to be followed by one who had identified himself with nearly everything promotive of the coun- try’s welfare for nearly half a century. After that was to come one whose name was but a synonym for oratorial great- ness, and whOSe words had, on that morn- ing, sent thrills of delight to every heart. He was glad to notice the success that had attended the construction of the building. He thought that a little op- position, at times, did good, in the way of stirring those hindered to greater activity. The remark might trite, yet that did not destroy the truth of it; but such a building was a centre of’ in- fluence for Wood. The rev. gentleman here took flight to other worlds, and our reporter, being an ordinary earthly mor~ tal, had to give up the chase. After music by the choir, Rev. .130. Bredin spoke. He said there were many things that could not be forgottenâ€"the laying of the corner stone of this edifice was one, and its dedication would be another, and he hoped that the future historian of our young Jeminion would find a corn 1' in his statistics for some details of this church. Every student of history remembers the year, 1569, when LPope Pius V. anathematised England, which, at that time, only owned one armed ves- sel, but which new has the proudest navy in the world. Hence, we see that England has thriveu remarkably well under the curse. Only a short time ago, England heard the groans of 1,700,â€" 000 bendmen, between Lombardy and loicily, and the Adriatic and the Medi- terranean, and to their rescue she at once eame,and to day she is both able willing to furnish an Asylum to Pope Pie Nono. The year 1693 will also he l ~ remembered, for i that year came to l ii the throne that good lli'inee, under ‘ whose patronage the English translation 3 of our Bible was elected. He liked an i T English Bible, because it contained the! preface of the translators-the Americans left that out of theirs, as they thought it to he of no use. ID. that preface, made in the year 1604, occurs a prayer for the preservation of the Royal Family. In 1605, the Gunpowder Plot was hatched, 1 but its hellish object failed, and the ‘ prayers of the devout body of translators ( were complied with. He had often 1 wonder-3d why the little sea-girt isle had I received sucha highsounding title as ~' “ Great Britain.” He thought that some i of this greatness was got from the colo- nies. In fact, had it not been for the colonies, a prolific people like the British would have so multiplied that they would have been pushing each other into the sea long ago. 0f the colonies, he thought 1 our own young Dominion was as bright I". Anyâ€"«,1»; a gem, and shone in as brilliant eorusca- tions of light, as any in Queen Victoria’s ; diadem. Other reasons for Britain being i“ Great” was it had given to its people ‘“ Trial by Jury,” and “ The Bill of ,Rights,” the latter, of which, however, ' many nations were slow in endorsing. It might be worthy of remark that Queen . Victoria’s seeptre was swayed over oneâ€" fitth of the world’s population. Why was this ? The politician would answer, that it was in order that his schemes and statesmanship might extend themselves throughout the whole. The manufacâ€"‘ turer would answer, that the products of his brain might be exported for the use ‘1 of millions beyond the seas. But the christian would answer, that the bible might be made to leaven and purify such r. DEDICATION. a great mass of human corruption. It had been said that great statesmen were dying out. Some might think so, but we wanted no such statesmen as Caesar, who marched in triumphal strides of victory till he was slain by Brutus; nor such as Hannibal, who could hold his legions amidst Anpinc solitudcs and de- scend into the sunny plains of Italy, but who was deserted at her own Carthage ; nor such as Napoleon Bonaparte, at whose fiat monarchs Were hurled from their thrones and Empires that stood for centuries were withered out of existence. The great want of Canada was men. Some say that it is capital, some factor- ies, some protection, some better schemes of immigration, &c. He hoped his hearers would show that the money was plentiful, anyhow, as he wanted to see, before the close of the meeting, that $1800 of church debt knocked in the fifth rib, as Paddy would say. In fact, he "should lock the door and make all subscribe before the key would be un- turned. As before, the great want was men. So, in Christ’s time, “The har- vest truly is great, but the labourers are few.” So with Luther-and Knoxâ€" they wanted more men like Duflin, in India; Burns, in China ; Livingstone, in Africa; and Ryerson, in Canada. True, they were only a handful here, but that need lnothing of the like of that; therefore, he lhad no recollection of it. It was only lwhat he should have done, however. At that time, a host of obstacles stood, like a phalanx, against Methodism ; yet, by the power and truth of" the word of God, all were overcome. He was astonished that an expression, so totally averse to the principles of personal liberty, should escape the previous speaker who talked of locking the door, and making all sub- scribe something for the lessening of‘ the church debt. He would rather say, as did Rowland Hill on a similar oceasion, “Those who don’t intend to give any- thingsnealc 017/” He and his associates came out to-day, not to work but to symâ€" pathize with them. He would state what they had done in the city towards the construction of a Metropolitan Mo- thodist Church. The trustees had subâ€" scribed $1,000 each, and when it was found that more was wanted their chair- man, A. W. Lauder, was the first to subscribe another thousand, and when more was needed the President of the Conference at once gave $1300. Let all give cheerfully. Like David, they can only say, “It is thine own we have given thee.” Let them not dishonour themselves by allowing their beautiful church to he stained with debt. The Raw W M Duncan“ M' A are... 1.5.... not discourage; Berlin, with only 300,â€" 000 inhabitants, gave a constitution to Prussia, and the students of the Univer- sity of Vienna made their influence felt throughout all Austria. Let the people of Maple gird their loins and go to work with a will, and who can tell what the result may be! (Music by the choir.) The Rev. E. Byerson, TAD, L.L.D., was then called to the platform: He referred to the pigmy among the giants, by Whom they had been carried to regions beyond the skies. He had been rumagâ€" ing his knowledge of natural history to find out what kind of an animal Mr. Bredin was. He thought he was some such animal as the Indians, at the Cre- dit, had named him, (the doctor,) when he labored among then1â€"â€"â€"When they had no such fine ehtzi‘ohes the one they had just dedicated, but were glad. to receive such subscriptions as salmon and baskets. The proceeds from this ' nted to $100. They had no nice houses then; they were glad. to have any kind 01 a Wigwam for shelterâ€"«2, hen-tel hem: servee them for a table. “Tell " L 7 I the ineians neld a council, at which tney named him “ Ateheehek,” meaning a bird, that al- ways flies and never lights. 80 he thought the previous speaker to be some such bird that, when he ee'xld Wing; his way across centuries oceans, inI instant, and land here again with the ' $1080 of debt wiped 0);. He thought, however, that they were ea‘sthly beings still. When he looked back on his min- ieterial laher, ' e eeulfi net but exelaim, “ What hath God wrong". i” .Ee had I . seen the Clay when they he; :10 l'lgxl'f; to colemnisc the sacred ntes of matrimony ‘ »â€"â€"\»/he'-:. to tee Establishei Church alone helongeé these blessed prii’eleges, of which it was their pricie new to boast. He glad that the day hed'e’rived no invidieus obstructions were :made between the churches of our land. ‘Not long since, they her} no legal right whereby they might retain church pro- } Jerty; then, they had not one lawyer, only two 01' three medical men, and only three members of the magistracy, en- rolleé. on the lists of Methodism. How was it new ‘3 They had the high honor iof being presided over to-day by a lawâ€" yer who held the highest position esteem in the church, and had been trustâ€" ed with the interests of a constituency in our legislative halls. He remembered when only two ministers had the whole country, from Gwillim‘oury to “ muddy little York,” as the field of tzeir labors. This was before many of his hearers were born. They had one church near Toronto, in the Summer’s neighborhood, but not being properly deeded it was taken from them; one in Newmarket and one in Tyler‘s neighbourhood, now , Aurora. A’s that time, parlour, dining- l room and kitchen were all in one. Once he met a wealthy man, Mr. Pearson, known probably to some of his hearers who spoke to him. He (the Dr.) said that the other had the advantage of him. “ 0 no,” said Pearson, " you know me, you stopped at my ~glnee such and 1 1 such a time; we had one bed and my Wife and I wre not long merged ; we made a bed for ourselves on floorl and were going to give you the one on! the bedstead ; you said, no woman should sleep on 2: bed on the floor, while a bed- stead was to be had,’ and you made us take our own bed while you took the one on the floor.” I those days they thought thodist Church. The trustees had subâ€" scribed $1,000 each, and when it was found that more was wanted their chair- man, A. W. Lander, was the first to subscribe another thousand, and when more was needed the President of the Conference at once gave $1300. Let all give cheerfully. Like David, they can only say, “ It is thine own we have given thee.” Let them not dishonour themselves by allowing their beautiful church to be stained with debt. The Rev. W. M. Funshon, M.A., after being presented with a handsome silver trowel which should have been given at the time of the laying of the corner stone, ad- dressed the large audience. After a few remarks, anent his Xmas gift, the trowel, and what the people of Maple thought of him as a mason, he said that as the maple-tree was a model of elegance, neat- ness and Canadian freedom, so he hoped the Maple church would be a model of neatness, elegance and freedom from debt. He could see no great diHerenee between the ways the two previous speak- ers had proposed to get the subscriptions from the audience. The first would look the door so that no one could get out, and the other fixed it so that no one would like to go out. This was some- thing in the style of an Irish recruiting "rt out for a supply for his sergeant who one t, in a short time brought inl ) ‘gimeu some sad, tatterdemalion looking fellows. The superiors in command somewhat doubtful. of the means adopted by the H ( sereeant, how he had come to get “ Arrah, shure, I compelled them to volunteer,” was his answer. The men. elebratod Wm. Dawson, vulgarly known as Billy Dawson, once when soliciting subscriptions, said that no one in debt would be asked to give, as such a one 3 had no right to do so ; “ but, remember,” lsays he, “ if you don’t give, everybody will say you’re in debt.” They had heard ef' that wonderful “Ateheehok.” He would like to light somewhere in the neighborhood of that $1800 before the meeting was over. The previous speaker spoke about lawye‘s in the church as if it was unparad xieal that a lawyer should be a Christian. Such was not the ca 3. A man might serve his Maker in any of the necessary callings of life. Men,being the great Want of the day, had been spehen of. There were some creatures in human form who could not be called Before Maple becomes a cityâ€"which will be some little time yetâ€"it must be filled with large-hearted men. You re- member this was the best gift to Solomon. We want men with hearts enlarged. Physicians tell us that enlargement of the heart is a disease, and that the peo- ple die of it, and all that. We don’t want enlargement of the heart then say many; but bear in mind it is much better to die of enlargement of the heart than of ossification of the heart. A large heart men in the full, true sense of the word. . carries with it a large and vigorously active brain, though sometimes men have been found whose hearts were larger than their brains were active. To avoid this dread withering of the heart they must feed it well, else, like an ill-fed body, it Will shrivel itself till it comes to nothing. They must give this house to God and to Him aloneâ€"let no one else have a claim on it. Let them remember the: a house like this will be one of the best gifts to posterity. He had seen many sax seription lists in cities, and he had always noticed that haehelor’s names ‘oeeurred very, very seldom, and then ifor very, very small amounts. The ‘reuson of this was, hache.ors had . noning to cultivate an enlargement of L l the hemeâ€"nothing with which to sym- l pathize whereby they would be inspired and delighted, raised and refined. The Duke of Alva, who, as all know, was a. great and sometimes cruel warrior, was advancing to take a. certain city. The . paiests of the temple thought they would steal a march on him; they had large silver statues of the Apostles, and of these they asked the Duke to be kind enough to take care. What are these statues? he asked. “The Apostles/T answered they. “ What are you doing with them here? Were they not told to go into all nations of the earth, teaching and preaching, and here you have them locked up. I’ll take care of them; I’ll melt them and send them doing good. Though the Duke did many cruel things he didl right that time. Now, think, have any of you some little household Peters or social Pauls; if you have, melt them and have your fine church free from debt. Now we want you to be zealous. Dr. Faweett went collecting for a good object and called on a man in a certain town. After explaining the object of the visit, and hearing the obj cet of the subscriptions lauded,the Dr. asked how much might be set for him. After a while of pensive-- mess, the man said “ two-pence.” The Dr. thanked him, and asked him if he knew of any other who would be likely to subscribe. The man thought" there was no use trying on that street, as he did not think there were any more who had any zeal for the cause. He wanted something more than two-penny zeal. A member of one of the churches was very noisy at the meeting. They had tried again and again to stop him, but in vain. He would give vent to ebullitiens of zeal for the cause of Christ. At last a shrewd brother was dcputed to deal with him. It was soon noticed that the noisy bro- ther had become remarkably quiet. The brother that stopped him was asked how he had managed him. “ Easily enough,” said he, “ I asked him to give a dollar for the missionaries.” Now, such a re- ligion as that _ was not wanted; they wanted one in which heart and hand went togetherâ€"an all-around religion. Much had been said about the struggles of the early Canadian ministers. A minister, who had been thirty years in connection with one of the most flourish- ing Presbyterian Churches in the United States, Speaking in Mr. Marling’s church, Toronto, astonished him by ascribing his ‘ conversation to Canadian missionary zeal. lHe went to the Adam’s Street church, New York, and there heard some Cana- dian Indians, sent by Wm. Case, singing, ‘-‘ 0, for a thousand tongues to sing,” &c. One of those Indians was Henry Styncr, now Missionary to the Rocky Mountains. The beauty of the piece struck him; he became a. changedl man; and, for thirty years his anniversary sermons commenced with, “ O, for a thousand tongues to sine ” 83c. Let not the zeal of the D7 fathers of the church be forgotten.â€" Let the the debt of the church be wiped off. Suppose the Trustees give $100 a-piece. This Seems a great thing when viewed from a distance. Like the hunter on the mountain, the distant 0b- jeet is awful, but its frightful appear- ance vanishes as it nears him, when, 10 i it is his own brotherr An Irishman at the battle of Waterloo brought in three prisoner. Being asked how he managed the three, he answered, “I surrounded them.” So with this $1800. It must be surrounded. There were no resolu- tions hei‘ore the meeting. He would like to propose some. They would be ones adopted by a body of negroes. The first was, Resolved that we all give some- thing: second, That we give as the Lord hath prospered us : third, That we give cheerfully. Besides two were to sit at a table to act as assessors of those who |eame forward with their subscriptions. Among the first to come forward was a wealthy old African, who threw down a. paltry coin. “ Heah, take dat back," said the assessors, “ dat won’t do, dat’s not de resolutions." He came a second time with more money, which he threw down, grufiiy saying, “ Dash, take dat.” “ Heah, heah,” said the assessors again, “ dat won’t do; it may suit de first re. solution, and it maybe am de secondâ€" };a‘rdly though,” but it’s not de third." The old negro tried againâ€"«a. gleam of pleasing humor diffused ifiself over his Atlantic of a face, and a grinning smile spreafi itsalf from car to ear, as he threw down a suitable sum: These resolutions he would, with the exception of the 11% teasers, impose on them. The Chairman, wishing to have a brick in the nimrch, offered to give the last hundred of a thousand. The subscription lists were ‘then passed around; and, within 3180 ‘of the $900 subscribedâ€"several of the ‘trustees giving $100 each. Mr. Pun- shon asked for any who could yet give, and the $180 Was brought down to 5517. Mr. Fish then said, that when Mr. Pun- shon died and his funeral sermon was preached, it might be said of him: “And WHOLE NO. 650.
