would have the good sense to lay down their arms and make the best terms they could. But they had tnot done this. The war would have come to an earlier con clusion if it had not been for unwarranted sympathy for the Boers expressed by other countries. Our brave lads from Australia, New Zealand and Canada had flocked to the standard to uphold the honour of the flas? One feeling thrilled the whole of th© Empire, "We must have no patched up p«ace " They were determined to have a lasting peace, which would bring bleesings with it. And we ha# good reason to thank God that such a peace had been proclaimed. The conquest would be a great blessing to the dusky natives of South Africa, who had received scant, if any, ■justice from those who should have been the first to help them. It was thought at the beginning that the war would be a trifling thing, but the idea ssemed to have come into the heads of the Burghers that the time had come for South Africa to be for Africanders only. So plots were laid, and schemes were hatched to this eiid. It was wfreshing to find that the very tongues that were a short time ago denouncing England, were now singing as heartily as we were, "Rule Britannia." Justice, Right, and Truth, were the reasons of the Bteength of the Empire. Well may we lift up ova hands, and pray with Kipling, that that th© Lord of Hosts will be with us yet. Tise war would be more than compensated for by the grand results which would, follow to South Africa through peace. He could not pass away from the subject with out thinking of those brave onas who had gone out to do or die —as some, alas! had di®d—for the Empire. There were many bleeding hearts that night; and when the others came back amid rejoicings, others would lie in honoured graves in a distant country. H© asked the congregation to rise and sing the Doxology. At the conclusion oi! tfee service, the organist, Mies Edith Jones, played the Dead March in Saul, as a mark of respeot to those who have fallen in the. war, the eongreation standing.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

At the Ashburton Presbyterian Church yesterday morning, Mr Shaw, the pro bationer, occupied the pulpit, and preached from the test Joshua, Chapter 8, Verse 30. In the course of his sermon, Mr Shaw pointed out that Joshua, the general of the army of Israel, after capturing the King of Ai, and reducing the city to ashes, returned thanks unto God, likewise the British Bation had set apart that day as a day of thanksgiving for the victory it had won over it 3 foes. He also drew attention to th® fact that while Joshua, the general of God's ancient people, had ascribed all honour for his victory unto God, so Lord Roberta, the general of the British armies in South Africa, had acknowledged the hand of God in the victories he had won. In the evening Mr Brock officiated, and in hi« prayers, offered thanks to God that hostilities in South Africa had closed, and the long struggle had ended.

PRIMITIVE METHODIST CHURCH.

Last night special reference was made in the Primitive Methodist Chnrch to the cessation of the war in South Africa. The whole church and its adherents w«rs called upon to raise their hearts in thanks giving to Almighty God for the peace teraaa arrived at. Eeference was made to t&e sad loss of life which had taken place daring the last two and a-half years. Hope was expressed that the Britons and Boers will Tbe cemented together and the true brotherhood established.

FLEMINGTON.

In the course of his sermon at Fleming toa yesterday, the Rev G B lnglis said that the Boers had commenced the war by invading British Territory, and that when they found the fortunes of war going against them, they handed over their women and children to the victors to be oared for. This was an action unparalled in the history of the world, and the British with chivalry, and Christian spirit, accepted the trust and cared for them us if they had been their own. He hoped that the good feeling which the leaders of the Boers were showing since the cessation of hostilities would be also shown by their rank and file, and that the two peoples—Britons and Boers—would now hold harmoniously to gether and work hand in hand.

The drain in question was in a very bad state.

Sergeant Barlow said the man was a perfect nuisance about the town. He frequented the Railway Station, and asked people for money. He had been cautioned several times by the police. A fine of 5s or twenty-four hours im prisonment in default, was inflicted on the charge of drunkenness, and the other case was dismissed.
