WESLEY AN CHCJECH, PITT STREET. ORDINATION SERVICE. THE interesting ceremony of ordaining a young minister took place in this church last evening, in the presence of a numerous con gregation. The young gentleman, the Hey. J. Simmons, who was ordained, has been appointed to the mission of the Fijis. The Rev. Mr. Rigg, Superintendent of the District, pronounced an exhortatory prayer from the pulpit. There were present a large number of Wesleyan Ministers, viz., the Rev. Messrs. Buller, Warren, Wallace, Buttle, Berry, Lawry, Lewis, and Williams. The Rev. Mi-. Warren read Ihe chapter in the New Testa ment—"And Jesus came and said to them, 'go ye unto all nation 3.'" The Rev. Mr. Buller read out the formal interrogatories made on such occasions, to which the candi date, having previously detailed the circum stances under which he felt himself moved to undertake the work of the ministry, answered in the form prescribed. This was followed by the " imposition of hands and prayers for the success of the work which the young minister was^ called to undertake." The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was then administered to all the clergy present. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Buller, who detailed from his own experience the difficulties that beset the work of a mis sionary ministering to a barbarous people. The Rev. Mr. Wallace pronounced the prayer for a blessing upon the young minister. This was followed by a hymn. There was an excel lent choir in attendance. The ceremony was extremely interesting. The proceedings con cluded with prayer. JUMPING- OF THE WAKATIP. Wheee jumping is to stop we have no idea. 'The latest thing in that line that we have iheard is that this morning Mr. J. E.
