St. Andrew's Church, Tinwald.

WELCOME TO THE REV. AND MRS BLACKBURNE.

A social entertainment was held on Friday evening in the hall, Tinwald, for the purpose of welcoming the Rev. and Mrs Blackburn to the parish- There was a large attendance, quite two hundred persons being present. Mr Redmayne presided, Hie musical portion of the programme was divided into two parts, and at the conclusion of the first part Mr Bedmayne, on behalf of those present, wished their new minister and his wife a Cordial welcome. The Rev. Mr Black burne in responding thanked his new parishioners for the good wishes that had been expressed. His reaspn for coming to Tinwald had been simply one of loyalty. The Bishop had seen fit to make the change and he had obeyed. Bis intention in coming amongst them was to do his.duty »s well as he could. He believed most sincerely that the same motives had actuated his predecessor who had taken his place at Hokitika. He thought the people should show the same loyalty in accepting the Bishop's decisions. "With regard to hia work amongst them he would not say much on that occasion, because he believed in actions rather than words, and it wab his hope, by God's influence, with steady work and con dstent living, rather than by speaking, to help on God's work. In coming there he did not come with a flourish of trumpets, nor did he come with the intention of making any great changes. He Relieved rather in going quietly on with his duties both in the church and in the parish, and in this he would ask for the prayers of the people. He wished them to treat; him as a personal friend. There was at all times one anxious to be of servise to them either in temporal or in spiritual things, and if any of them were in trouble of any kind he hoped they would not forget to send for him, and he would always be glad to assist them, whether that call be by &»y or by night. In conclusion, he wished that all might pull together in their part of the great ship of the church. He trusted that while he was with them, at no time would there be any divisions, but that they might all work unitedly for the glory of God and of His ohurcq. He heartily thanked them for hi& cordial welcome and commended them to the grace of God. The rev. gentleman was heartily applauded at the conclusion of his addreas. Refreshments were then handed round by the ladies of the church. and Mr and Mrs Blackburne also took advantage of the opportunity to become acquainted with the company. After a short interval the remainder of an ex cellent concert programme was gone through. Items were contributed by Mesdames Dee and Tippett, Misses Clara Steel, B^nnington (2), Rickman, Amy Clarke, Lucy and Alfoe Stone, and Messrs Broad, long, and Hewsjn.

Flemington Dairy factory.

A meeting was held last evening in the Flemington schoolhoupe for the purpose of considering the question cf taking steps to re-open the Dairy Factory at that place. There was an attendance of about forty, and a number of other settlers sent apologies for non-attendance, but ex pressing their concurrence with the pro posal. Mr Harding, who was voted to the chair, opened the proceedings by giving Borne interesting information on the pre pects of the dairy industry and the con duct of dairy factories. In reply to inquiries a good number of cows were guaranteed by those present, and there appears every reason to be lieve that the required number will be forthcoming. A Committee consisting of Messrs Harding, W. Anderson, Bond and Timms was appointed to canvass for this purpose The Committee was also instructed to correspond with the Central Board (Christchurch), asking term?, and offer ing the use of the Flemington factory building, the Board to p&y insurance, rates and taxes, and co be informed that an offer to purchase the building would be considered. A collection having been 1 aken up to defray expenses incurred, the meet- Ing adjourned till Friday June 15, to receive the report of the Committee.

"Excursion to London."

At the Oddfellows' Hall on Friday evening the Rev A. Ager delivered a lecture entitled a ' Cheap Excursion to London.' The lecturer began with a picture of Lyttelton Harbor, continuing with the following:— Life on Shipboard ; the Heads of the English river; in and around St. Paul's, describing the building and many historic events con nected with it, particularly a graphic account of the burial of the Duke of Wellington; through Gheapside to the Guildhall, and the Hall of Gog and Magog, the Mansion House, Royal Exchange, and the Old Lady of Threadneedle street; the place of the great jewel robbery, describing how it was effected! around and through the Tower of London, the Armoury Court, and Jewel Tower, des cribing many ancient customs in connection with the bttildinp, a very pathetic picture of the landing of Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey at Traitor's Gate; along the Thames to the many places of interest on its banks sach as Sfc, Thomas' Hospital, Lambeth Palace, Cleopatra's Needle, annual boat race, Somerset House, Houses Parliament, and Westmnster Hall, with an amusing account of the law courts ; scenes of Seven Dials and the train ing of pickpockets; Covenfc Garden Market and its motley crowd; Piccadilly and. its palaces. The lecturer having lived many years in London was enabled to give a highly entertaining account of all the places shewn, and at the conclusion of the lecture at 10 p.m. many of the audience remarked that they would have been quite satisfied to have had "more." The views were ably shown by Mr Beardaley, of Christchurch, with his powerful lantern, and it was a note of general remark that they were much superior to anything seen before in Ashburton. There was a very fair attendance.

A very interesting and profitable lecture was given by the Rev A. Ager on "A trip to london" in the schoolroom, Flemington, oo Thursday evening. During his address a large number of brilliant oxy-ether light pictures were shown Mr Ager'a thirty years" experience of london life has given him a thorough knowledge of the metropolis, and together with his great descriptive powers, a really enjoyable trip was taken with Mr Ager. The appreciation of the lecture was shown by the frequent applause from the audience, and a hearty vqfce of thanka to Mr Ager closed a very beneficial lecture*

THE ABfIBURTON SfIABPIAN ; SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1894.



TYPHOID, While the whole community Is deeply interested in the alarming spread of this fatal disease, it is amazing to contemplate the fearful amount of indifference ex hibited with regard to its dangers. Whether it Is communicated to the human frame by "microbes," " bacilli," or more simply speaking by "germs" It seems agreed that improved sanitation is the main remedy for preventing its pro pagation. This indeed has been clearly proved by the remarkably good results obtain in England since attention has been given to strict sanitary law, and it behoves every householder or occupier of a dwelling, in these colonies, to keep this fact in view, and act accordingly, with respect to his own premises and its sur roundings. So long, however, as indi viduals have no control over their neigh bor's proceedings, and the authorities •re inactive, so long will liability to the disease be perpetuated. Under these circumstances, we have to look for the next best thing to be done, and bearing in mind that the state of the physical system is an important factor in relition to susceptibility to the "germ," it should become a matter of constant and watch ful care that the tone of the the system be kept up to good form. It not unfre quently occurs that persons habitually healthy and vigorous, begin at times to feel a degree of lassitude and disinclina tion to exertion, and a sensation of 64 tiredness" without any apparent cause. This may arise from the disorganization of some important functional part of the internal economy—ib may be the liver op th© kidneys that are not properly per* forming their office. The result k the communication of poisonous acida to the blood, and this becoming vitiated, the disposition to "homing," the germ of typhoid will be the result, whereas, if th impairment did not exist, the germ probably would not find lodgment. Therefore, whatever tends to keep the organs in their normal condition, is the best antidote to typhoid, and for this, there ia nothing equal to Warner's Safe Cure, which has been thoroughly tested by tens of thousands, and inoontestibiy proved to act as represented when taken according to directions. By keeping the kidneys in healthy action the blood is rendered pure and the whole tone of the system strengthened and invigorated. 3a#b Cure does ft.
