ST* BARNABAS’PARISH. .The Lord Bishop of Qu’Appelle AN rived from Maple Creek on Sunday and preached in St. Barnabas Church nt evensong, taking his text fiom •‘Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall rest for your souls,” (Jer. VI. 16); and “Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you,” (1st Peter HI, 15). His Lordship in the course of his eloquent sermon said that as this was the last opportunity he would have of addressing them'from that pulpit, he would urge upon the congregation their duty to remain in the “old paths,” not solely from accident of birth or mera liking of the form of service, but from solid conyic-tion of the faith of their holy religion, ynluing their privileges and being zealous in good works.On Tuesday afternoon at 10 o’clock* His Lordship consecrated the new cemetery. The land, of which about four acres has been fenced, was bought from Mr. Oruickshunk and slopes down to tlie Seven Persons’ valley. It is a beautiful spot, about n mileiand.a half from town. It is intended to plant it with shade trees and otherwise improve it. The service began by singing the hymn “Brief Life is Here our Portion,” and then the whole congregation with the Bishop and Rev, \V. Nieolls ut the head proceeded round the cemetery reciting the Penitential Psalms. Standing in the centre of the plot the Bishop consecrated the cemetery, and read other prayers, the ceremony ending with the hymn “Forever with the Lord,” and the benediction.
