The Iluminations.

Tue Wuminations on Thursday night were grand indeed. The whole city was one blaze of light. The illuminations took every conceivable form, and were exceed-

y ereditable to all concerned. Below will be found the names of some of those who illuminated :

ingly

The interest manifested in the celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee by Mr. Unsworth, both in his official capacity and as a member of the general committee, was most commendable. His contribution to the Trades procession was excellent, while strings of flags, Chinese lanterns, gave a cheerful appearance to the railway premises, We noticed at night quite a display of rockets, ete., from the roofs of several of the railway buildings. The Accountant's department, under the a¥tistic hands of Mr. Huggan and his staff of clerks, was handsomely decorated and illuminated. In Mr. Huggan’s private ofhice was a trans Long to Reign Ovei

In another window H. M. S.

The Pulpit.

ACCORDING to previous announcement, the Rev. W. Harrison preached yesterday

! } }

norning inthe Second Methodist Church, m ** The Progressive and Religious Aspects toria’s Reign.”

\fter announcing the text, Leviticus, 25, 13,

he preacher went on to show the significance

the jubilee year had to God’s ancient people, the Jews, and to the manner event was greeted by that nation, which has layed such an importagg part in the religious

Soteny of the world. The completion of the fiftieth year of Jewish history was an occasion for devout national thanksgiving, and for the expression of a deep and widespread joy. The auspicious period was ushered in by sig- nals of Divine appointment. The jubilee trumpet was blown, and no souud that ever

rang out across Indian hills and plains was so } sweet and welcome as this. | ‘The grounds for this general rejoicing were | next pointed out. The jubilee year brought | rest to those who were wearied with exhaust- ing labor and toil. |of alienated’ property, and to the slave it brought deliverance, and the opening of the [oe ae doors to them that were bound. It rought into operation the best and guer

in which that ;

It secured the restoration |

feelings of the nation’s heart and life, and secured for the time being certain corrective and regenerating forces which should work out the accomplishment of the highest geod The event of the current year was then dwelt upon, and the various aspects and lessons of the past fifty years of British life and history were brietly referred to. An occasion which has arrested the attention of the world, colored the talk of the street, and which mil- lions have celebrated throughout the Queen's widely extended cmpire, ought not to be passed over by the churehes as some merely secular and foreign attair, The part which the religious element has assumed in this year of national rejoicing was next referred to as a very gratifying feature. It has not been a mere secular celebration; not the utterance of some vain and empty boast, not the glorification of any haman person, but the gracious workings of a Divive Providence have been everywhere recognized throughout the nation. Amid the gathered splendors and historic associations of Eng- land's proud cathedrals, and the plainest surroundings of the humblest chapel and meeting house; in palace rooms and the cottages of the poor the voice of prayer and praise has been heard, It is gratifying to notice that the British heart and mind has not lost its reference for divine things, nor its

faith in an all wise and loving God. The distinguishing features of the past half century were summarized as follows: The

period celebrated has been crowned with a long list of noble and heroic deeds and with memories and names that the world will not allow to die. ‘The great historic head- lands of the century have been built’ by the forces of brain and heart of Eng- land’s sons, and when the tinseled and tasseled finery, and the splendid draperies of the time shall all have faded out, the noble creations of mind and heart will remain for other generations to look upon and admire.

In these fifty years there has been poured the best elements of all the past. The Vic- torian era has been the landing place of all the costly possessions which the world has rathered through all the years, and the fea- fure most satisfying about this period is, that it has not wasted those sacred legacies with a reckless and prodigal band, but has used them to better advantage than any age has ever done, and enriched and multiplied its own life and capacity with the gifts which vanish- éd hands have left behind. The material de- velopment of the Empire; the rapid multipli- ation of educational agencies; the growth of charitable and benevolent institutions, and the moral and religious progress achieved dur- ing the reign were touched upon, and the comparison of Great Britain with the other nations of the world was then made, and as a civilizing pewer, as the guardian and helper of the meek and oppressed, as the home of the yrandest charities; as the leader in all great movements instituted for the amelioration of the race and the evangelization of the world, as a moral and religious power upon the earth, it is true that she holds and is likely to hold the place of honor.

The agencies which have produced these en- couraging results were then briefly reviewed, and among those agencies were recognized the noble life and character of the Queen, and the fact that she had not only recognized the great impulses and plans of the century which are working for the uplifting and pro- gress of the nation and the world, but that with her subjects she had made those plans her own. The result of this native commem- vation has been to bring the Queen and her people nearer together, to increase the faith if the millions of the Empire in the value and stability of her political and public institu- tions, and to show in the most conspicuous manner, that the principles of righteousness, and a living faith in God, and the teachings of His word, He at the foundation of all true greatness and national progress in all that is high, beneficent and enduring.

June, in honor of Her Majesty's Jubilee,

Col. Worsley, the officer commanding, in

the name of and on behalf of the ofhicers

and men in camp, forwarded a telegram as

follows tu the Queen:

From Pennyman Worsley, Officer commanding, to Her Majesty the Queen, Windsor ;

Your Majesty's loyal Militia of Prince Ed- ward Island, assembled in camp of exercise, it Charlottetown, desire to add their small tribute to the burst of loyalty which greets your Jubilee.

Before the review was over the following answer was received :—

Queen thanks you and your regiment for kind telegram :

On Her Majesty’s ship Canada leaving port this morning a parting salute of seven guns was given them from Fort Edward, and the whole camp being turned out, manned the river bank and battery sent out over the waters to them right hearty cheers, expressive of their appreciation of the great kindness and courtesy they had received at the hands of the officers and men of the ship, and pealing back was heard the hearty cheers of Britain’s gallant tars.

The only accident in camp occurred sume days ago when a young man named Bertrain, belonging to No. 5 Co, 82nd Battalion, who was wrestling in play with a companion, unfortunately strained the ligaments of his shoulder, which will doubtless incapaci- tate him from work for some weeks.

The health of the camp has been splen- did and the conduct of the men excellent.

The church parade yesterday afternoon was a very pleasing affair, and was attended by many of our citizens. The camp is much indebted to the choir of St. Panl’s Church for their attendance.

From to-day out all the drills will be in extended order.

The Artillery Brigade Band relieved the Band of the 82nd Battalion this morning. When leaving camp the members of the band were complimented by Lieutenant- Colonel Worsley for their excellent music and general deport ment.

Lieutenant-Colonel Worsley is delighted with the appearance of the camp, and is well pleased with the deportment of the | men.

A large number of ladies and gentlemen visited the cainp yesterday. They were all courteously received and shown round by the officers and men.

The Oddfellows in procession on Friday had as-their guests about twenty-five of the crew of H. M. 8. Canada, members of the Manchester Unity of England, the parent stem of the Order. Their appearance was very favorably commented upon. The popular traveler, John J. Fairbairn, arrived specially for the occasion, and looked even handsomer than ever in his brilliant Can- ton suit, The Masonic iraternity also had a number of guests.

On Thursday evening Messrs. Beer Bros, John Newson, Dodd & Rogers, Beer & Goff, Norton & Fennell, and others gave displays of fireworks from their respective buildings, adding greatly to the pleasure of the evening.

In Fredericton, N. B. on Thursday and Friday the heat was excessive; the ther- mometer on the first day registering 98 in the shade, and on the last day 97. There was no celebration on Friday owing to this fact; the weather being too hot even for driving.

The weather in St. Andrew’s, N. B., was

gloriously fine, and the celebration on Friday was of the heartiest character. An immense number of people were in the

city. The programme consisted of a Polymorphian procession, a review of the troops and a fireworks display and illumina- tion in the evening.

Among the thousands who took part in the celebration were two old Scotchmen who witnessed the jubilee celebration in

honor of King George the Third in their native land when they were young lads, One of those loyal men, Wim. Sanderson,

Esquire, of Georgetown. is a member of the Caledonian Club of P. E. Island, and walk- ed on Friday last in the procession with his fellow clansmen in honor of Queen Vic- toria’s Jubilee.

Amherst, N. S., also celebrated on Fri- day. The weather was glorious, and an im- mense number of people were in town. The celebration included a polymorphian dis- play, a bicycle parade, laying the corner stone of the Bank building, a procession of militia and school children, orations by Rev. Mr. Steel and

Senator Dickie, a-promenade concert and, a |

fireworks display.

Moncton’s celebration was eminently suc- cessful. The programme of proceedings was made up of polymorphians, firemen, trades and torchlight processions, illumin- ation of houses, display of fireworks and a trotting match. Mr. W. B.
