Roeewaroe) when in London had been un packed and classified Many of them ware so badly packed that they became ruined in transit but the remainder farmed a very desicible and valuable addition to the

Australian Natives Association was held at Rooms on Monday evening Mr Conigrave pre sided over a fair attendance After ths ordi nary routine business was disposed of the Pbeswkkt called attention to tbe approaching departure of Mr Hamp for Port Auzusfa Mr NfcdHT moved the smeere and hearty good wishes of the branch be ao turded to Kir Mr Sowdsn seconded the motion which was carried unanimously Mr Hamp responded in a few chosen words and said he would remember with tb his connection with the branch Mr NkisHrr said he would crave tbe attention of the members for a few moments while he spoke on a subject which be knew caused feelings of sadness in every heart He referred to the death of the late Rev Hugh Gilmore who was a man who compelled atten tion to his utterances One of his proudest boasts was that he claimed the late Mr Gil more as his dear friend He referred to his broad Christianlike character and life of self denial and That a motion of sympathy te recorded in the minute? and that a letter to that effect be forwarded to the re lation of their lamented friend Mr Qcinn seconded the motion which was carried in silent unanimity Mr tiowiiEN then delivoed a lecture on Mr David Christie In his opening remarks tbe speaker said it was absurd for men of Mr Stamm an artist and a theatrical and one who mixed and lived with people of his professkm while i in the Australian co*kaies to judge tbe people of Australia In tbe first place be said England gave the colonies a bad start by transporting a lot of convicts to our shores and wen people from the old country came out and upon very meagre information criticised the cofonista While there was an excuse continued Mr Sowden for Mr Smith to say that the kangaroo took five hops to the mile there was no excuse for such statements as had been made by Mr David Christie Murray Srill be considered that wlra Aus tralians made a lot of money and went to England to decry tbe colunuta they should do be too severe upon an outside critim The speaker also pointed out that Mr Manny had stated that the Australians listed England and that tbe Australian native desired tire painter between the two countries to oe severed He denied thia sad raid he was convinced that no such feeling existed among native born Australians It was only that clare of men who were sen out from England with their late cheque that did this ne'er do wells win even cursed the God wbo gave them breath and the country tliey lived in Mr Sowden contended that the main relation between Australia and England would be that of borrower and lender and dealer and customer and no matter what might be the alteration con nection with England thia would still subsist ith respect to the labor question he con sidered that it was unjust for Mr Murray to charge tbe whole of tle colonies with not maintaining law and order because of the misdoings of a few in Queensland while as to the accusations made relative to crime he con sidered he had already accounted for that Air Murray had also spoken of tbs eccen trieitiea ana fads of tbe Australian Legisla ture and be considered this was very unfair Kngiand as well as other countries had IoIIvukI

Adelaide on Saturday morning into tbe death of rank Tietz who lost his life at tiie Sema phore on riday while engaged in his duties diver Mr binclair watched tbe pro ceedings on behalf of the relatives of the deceased William Russell saiimaker and clutndler stated that he had a contract with the Tug Company to provide a diver and apparatus to enable the company to raise tlw launch Bluebell and employed Tietz The diver descended for the first time at about As he found that a little water was coming through tbe breastplate of his costume he came up again and had it screwed up tighter A few minutes after he went down again with a sling to make fast to the bow cd the BluebelL He again came to the surface as he could not find the hawser pipes He had their situation ex plained to him and again went down After about five to ten minatm had elapsed be sig nalled by a line that be wae coming up It was the duty of the attendant above to take in tbe slack pipe and lifeline so as not to encumber die diver as be came to the surfaou He could come up without other assistance After tbe signal the assistant hauled up a portion of tbe black pipe and line aa the diver was coming towaids the tug While the attendant was doing this he noticed that there was a sudden stoppage and a pull Lack as though the diver had fallen Tbe attendant immediately said M'Dir thing was wrong They tried the lifeline but found they could not haul it up from which thy concluded that it bad caught in some portion of the launch They then attempted to clear it but without success Captain Greer suggested sending to the Protector which was close at hand for their diver and life saving apparatus witness jumped intoa launch and went for help but tl diver was at work in tbe Tort river and was thus not avail able He proceeded thence to the Largs railway station and telephoned first to the ort for another diver ana apparatus and then for Dr Toll Within an hour another diver and apfiaratus was at the Semaphore but bn services were nut required as in the meantime the body bad been recovered and brought asliore The service pipe and dress were new hi le the air pump vVas very nearly new and in perfect order The air pipe was attached to the iiehnet so as to enable the diver to breathe There was a valve mi the breastplate under the control of the rbruugh which the expired air escaped At'iclied to the drees was a rue called the lifeline which communi cated with the men above By means of this and a code of signals tbe diver could indicate hi requirements So far as he could judge the attendant did all that was required of him for the sjifi'ty of the diver Since the accident he had examined the apparatus and found every thing in good condition Tbe air pump and pifie were perfect but one of the lead sinkers as mt away and the dress tom in removing it after Tietz had been brought to the surface Was unable to account for the accident The only theory he could suggest wm that the man and could nut recover himself or that heis suddenly taken ill and was unable to give tlie danger signal If in the fall the man turned head downwards he would be in an ex cdingly critical position The deceased was an expert and reliable man He waa in 30 ft of water An ordinary swimmer could not ilt Ht nd that depth ff the man fell there ould be nothing to counterbalance the weight of the metal on his head and shoulders which would press him down By Sir Sinclair Ender such circ*mstances they would never interfere with the airpipe Meo had been known to be below for nonrt and then be safely ixtricabd if the supply of air could be kgpc iik In this ease a constant current of air was kept passing through the drees until the mau was brought to tbe surface Captain Creer manager of tbe Adelaide Straining Company said he was superintend ing the raising of the sunken launch Bluebell on riday He was satisfied that Mr RweeB I did everything to see that the apparatus was in perfect working condition ana corroborated his evidence with regard to the descent of the diver He heard the attendant suddenly cry i unt Whatever is he doing now? There 1 must be something Witness then ascertained that the diver had fallen and therefore made efforts to raise him A they conld not bring the man to the surface Mr Russell went to the Protector and during i his absence those who remained on the tug? tried in every possible way to dislodge the I diver Bring unsuccessful they fastened a I heaving line between the two tugs and lower ing a running bowline over the lifeline cob i eted it with tbe heave line The tngs than moed ahead so as to place a strain upoa the I body which seemed to move a littfav The strain was slackened off and the ropes read I justed and the tugs once more placed on a 1 strain The body was dislodged and brought to tbe surface When it was placed deck it waa found that the lifeline was entangled round the right teg Took steps to re store animation bnt without success There was a little water inside the costume when it was removed but not more than a couple of In his opinion tbe man was not drowned because not a drop of water could be 1 obtained from the mouth There was a good deal of discoloration about the ears The quantity of air bubbles arising from the sub merged man seemed to decrease after the stoppage This led them to bdtve that lie had dosed the valve The sir pimp was knot working without eraation The diver ex pressed the opinion after one of his ascents thatvcrythingwasworkhigsptendkMy Three n)n

monetary advantages He set out in life to make hi livelihood by hard toil When be tween IS and 20 years of age he left Scotland and found his way to the North of England and finally settled downatNeweuscIe on Tyne Here he was taken in liand by a 'class leader of the Primitive Methodist body wbo doubtless had heard and been impressed by some of the rqieeches young Gilmore had made for even at tliat early age he taken like a tine Scotchman to sions As he himself ha'statc iu his writings is generally allowed that even the workpeople in Scotland are literary and metaphysical and they are certainly always ready an argu Tbe mutual improvement association which he joined in tbe was not tbe first debating society with which he had been connected His first cxjiertence of debating as he himself was fond of relating was acquired on Glasgow Green large piece of common land lying on tlie north bank of the River Clyde where the working men of the great city met to discuss all kinds of questions At that period Mr Gilmore was a lad and there would be 10 or 50 groups every Sunday afternoon and evening discnssingecclesiastical theological religious social political literary and philosophical questions In these discus sions young Gilmore joined with all a keenness for debate The class leader wbo took the future preacher in liand evinced great interest in his welfare and put luin in the way to use his faculties and to acquire self education He became a regular attendant at a Primitive Methodist chapeL There was a mutual im provement society in connection with this chapel uid Mr Gilmore joined it and eagerly took pint in the debates rom this point it is difficult to follow tbe events of his life in chronological order as the rev gentleman had not been long in tbe colony at the time of hie deatlq and there are few who are fully conversant with the de tails of bis a career it may be added that may well serve as a beacon to the rising generation Of his be gave graphic sketches in recent numbers of the local Pnniticc AfeUtodiit a monthly journal published by that body Upon his converaion he liecame a local preacher and 27 years ago was ordained as a minister of the Primitive Methodist Churclu After hi? ordination he preached at various stations in England and among his stations may be mentioned Hartlepool Dar lington and Westgate Ac all his stations in Lancashire lie was a popular preacher and by his sympathy and colloquial style of expreasioa obtained a firm bold of the toiling masses He was a writer at more than ordinary ability and his serial stories and character sketches of the people whom he knew best were widely read In politics he was a Libm a) and it was when at Preston that be devoted his energio to tli Liberal movement When the new English Education Act came into operation he was an active agent in securing the appointment of school hoards In politics we have said he was a Liberal Ho was an enthusiastic supporter of the Home Rule nioxenient and when at home was a grominent member of the United Liberal lub member? of which' including all the leading Liberals of Preston assembled on the eve of his departure for Australia to do him honor and presented him with a purse of sovereigns As lecturer especially on poll tioaJ subjects hi? name is familiar throughout England and hi earnest working in the cause of progress is well known rom all orts and conditions of men the rev gentleman received tokens of esteem before leaving England The Rev Mr Gilmore came to the colony partly for the benefit of his family which number? eight boys and girls oou of the former joining the Primitive Methodist Church as a probationer shortly after coming to Ade laide and taking charge of the Morgan cburch The deceased gentfemarf arrived in the colony on Wednesday June 6 1839 by the eteamsliip Liguria and at once com menced Ins work as pastor of the Wel lingtc square Church He was accord id a welcome meeting by the Primitive Metho dist Church the gathering being largely attended and he was given a mort cordial ana hearty welcome a welcome he said which him feel at At that gathering he and this maybe taken vs characteristic of bis liberality and broadness of views AltlKntgb I am a Primitive Methodist first and last I will he ready to join as far as I can in the general church work of the dis trict There are differences between me and my friends of other churches bnt there is one essential basis of we all love the same Chrirt Jesus and are all striving for the spread of His Gospel I will join in working for tlie good of others A minister is notinply the miniatm over one congregatian but he is the minister of the town which he is placed It is his duty to contribute towards the formation of a Christian temper in the public life of the The principles Mr Gilmore then laid down he followed He called himself a Christian socialist and one of his first steps was to form the Christian sociological elass which meets regularly in tbe lecture hall attached to the Wellington square Church He was also instrumental inaugu rating theCommonwealth a society whioh was only initiated when his present illness overtook him In all movements which had for thsir object the advancement and spread of religion and education and the amelioration of the con dition of the working classes Mr Gilmore manifested a keen interest and his many eloquent addressee will not soon be forgotten by those who had the privilege of listening to them Shortly after taking possession of the point at the North Adelaide church it was found nnnriHBiy to provide additional accom modation to seat the large congregations which flocked to listen to discourses AU grades of society and members of all denominations attended his Sunday evening aermom the con gregations embracing Mmirter of the Crown politicians writers doctors lawyen mer chants and members of the working classes Some short time back the rev genueman be came ill and he went to tbe ester colony in tbe hope that the change of air would improve his failing health but he returned some hi or eight weeks ago without any improvement and since that time he ha been confined to his room He was attended liy the Hon Dr Campbell and Dr Vercobut os he waa suffering from caaoer in the stomach but little hope ol his recovery was held out by his medical advisers and latterly tbe rev gentleman has resorted to Count remedies which although distinctly beneficial in their effects proved unavailing rom the incefition of hs illness the hope was generally ex pressed that his ailment would not prove of aeriow character and that his life which gave promise of eo much usefulnra would be pro longed tor many yrrra But this was not to be and the name of the Rev Hugh Gilmore mnrt be added to tbe list of noble characters which society could ill spare During riday afternoon Mr Gilmore was attacked with violent pain Dr Campbell on his arrival relieved hnn of this pain and he went to sleep eleeping for about two hours He passed a quiet evening free from pain Ho had interviews with a number of young men speaking to tbem words of counsel and fare well About 11 o'clock he had a alight return of pain but this soon subsided and he died mute peaceably at half pint 12 Dr Campbell was with him at the task We cannot do better than close this notice with the following line? taken

has to fa' a great many tilings besides a preacher but if he i not a prea 'her he ha mi feed his vocation It is more upon that than upon anything tliat hugely determines the success of hia work Well now I have been two years with you and I have been persis tently endeavoring (with great imperfection) to impress you with what I would call spiritual personal practical religion And I distinguish spiritual religion from ecclesiastical religion from ritualfeuc religion and from theoretical religion Ecclesiastical religion is tliat form of religion in Lieb undue emphasis i given to denomin ational relationship and attachment to church organfeations There may be mind you associated with that form of religion a nigh spiritual life but it might al be associated with a very poor spiritual life Some men are very good Methodists or Churchmen or Inde pendents and yet veiy poor Christians Tlie de nominational or ecclesiastical relation is put first before the spiritual considerations That I think is wrong I depre ciate denominational attachment It may be of value but after all they are simply means to an end and th yare valuable only when they secure that cml and hat end is the perfecting of our spiritual life helping tis to be good I have urged yon tim1 after time to become identified with ome denomination of the church Some of you have been per suaded others of you are not persuaded Xml I am not discouraged un that account I say that it is necessary for you to be connected with this or the utlwr or any order to be a Christian You may be a saved person outside of all organisations called churches and you may be inside such an organisation and not be saved 1 have urged yon to do so purely on the ground of utility it would be good lor yourself to be joined to a church and it would be helpful to others And I take you to witness that have always kept eecl siasticism in subordination to spirituality The same thing obtains in regard to ritualism which is that form of religion in which undue prominence is given toordinances An orointnee is simply an ordinance The ordinance of baptim and the Lord's supper and other adopted forms of the class meeting aVnong the are some times made too much of Some people give great importance to these ordinances and con attendance at them a meant of grace Th re are some who would not recognise yon as a Christian unless you had submitted to taptised in a particular form and there are some persons wno would not sit down to the table with you without your having been immersed That i to me to deny the brotherhood of men in Christ Jesus That to me is an awful conception of religion reducing it to outwardness and to material tilings know in England it was reyiorted that one of tlie dignitaries of the Episcopal Church sug gested that asix feet wall should be built to keep tbe aahes and remains at people buried in con secrated ground from those in unconsecrated ground and there are number? who would re fuse wbat they call the rite of Christian burial to any person unless be had len baptised by a properly ordained priest That sort of thing to me is a kind of insanity that I am abso lutely unable to put myself on a plane of senti ment to understand or irmwiiu understand howsane mencan hold snch ideas I recognise the beautiful symbolical ideas con tained in baptism and tbe supiier and the importance of meeting in class 1 regard the Methodirt class meeting the best form of Christian fellowship existing in the church but it is but a means to an end and ought to occupy a subordinate place A num may meet iu class and be a thorough scoundrel and a man may never have met in class and be a pure minded Gud fearing boly person You have to discriminate between spiritual and theoretical religion also Theoretical re ligion is the re ligion uf beliefs and creeds and theology Theory is necessary and all churches hare to have some kinl of theory But the theoretical religion that 1 speak ol gives I think undue 'inphasfa to creeds Crefd baa its place It should be subordinate to the life and it is the life that is she matter of supreme inix tano I have sometime been charged with over emphasising these nega tive points tliat 1 Irave been simply icono dartie rather than giving hope taj those wbo poeMssed the truth as well One friend was disturbed seriously because I said something about that I

our religion because I said that people conld feai I God and save their souls without going to does 1 In Ip those interpretations and am not very careful to help that's the I truth If some folks have a mind to take a sentem of tnim uiit of its connection 1 am 1 not careful about it 1 have never tried to please everybody But I have not been simply negative 1 have said that the vital matterol the

entangled An expe rienced diver would not have done this Wit nets had had a long exjierienee as a diver and only once did he meet with such a tangle and that was the result of an accident Nothing could have been done to save Tietz Even if a man had dived down he co ild have done nothing If the apicuatus had been pfa ed in a small boat and pulled directly over the diver as he was engaged at his

contained the valve Did not think tliat the accident waa due to any defect in the apjiaratus When the diver mode his last two descents both the witness and the deceased were satisfied that everything

exhausted every means of restoring animation but without avail No water came oat of the mouth or nostrils Did not notice any symptom which would lead him to suppose that the man fevl Lren either

in the death of onr dear brother we suffer a to the eonininnity as well a to the church vv hii is alnust iir parable In my own exiierit nue it has broken a band of loving fdluvhip that hw extended over a quarter uf a ceutnry Gm ministarial life bus faun cuteriniucus We entered the ministry to gether and were ordained together at the same service and now it becomes my mdan holy duty to say the last word over his grave 1 aw him at the start when ho was foil of youthful vipir and enthusiasm In those early ir whilst there was a measure of crudeness i and immaturity' in him even then there was the foreshadowing of the influence he wa des tiiud to exert over men Twa intimately as sociated with him in rhe days when he was an earnest seeker after truth feeling his way to an intelligent basis for his a faith that 1 lie vviuti uctityr rtllU fW UQ 2VU1 preach to others Those were the day when he distinguished between essentials and non essentials in religious creeds and con duct And later I watelied hi efforts in that great fight of his for pojnilar liberties against the exclusiveness and prejudices uf the claseer and to day there is no name better known and mon revered among tlie working classes of the North of England than that of Hugh Gilmore He was not a Churchman he was something better He was a Christian of the manly and unconventional type Ha did not belong to one class because he belonged to all classes He was human He felt that touch of nature which makes the world akin It was this sympathy with men men which stimulated his actions and gave the chief coloring to his life He had faith in human nature as he had faith in human progre ss and he aimed at the regeneration of man in the broadest sense In his work he was governed by no narrow motives or sympathies It is probable that the seeds of liis mortal disease had commenced their work before be left Eng land over two years ago He came to the colonies with the intention of finding greater quiet and rest but the life of tbis new country seemed to give new stimulus to his nature and he saw before him a splendid field fur his energies We all know how he threw his sonl into bis work Even whilst the insidious disease was daily growing upon him he flamed the bold plan of uniting all Christian hearts irrespective of creeds into one bond of sympathy for lessening the weight of human sorrow With diminishing strength and gasp ing breath he gave instructions to the different officers of the Christian Commonwealth from the couch of death He has left the earthly Commonwealth to join the heavenly cicizetahip Tlie work he had but initiated is left to others to accomplish IL death is a providence from a dark providence indeed that I cannot presume to interpret God is hia own interpreter And He will make it plain His life was short as we count lives in years But be has crowded into his 27 years of Chris tian sen ices what any one of us would have been thankful to accomplish in a three score rears and ten Who will dare to sav that the servant Lad not done his work or tliat the laborer had not fairly won the rest to be found in heaven The pain he suffered in his disease was intense but he wa ever patient and hopeful He was the last to give up hope of recovery He clung to life for the sake of these dear bereaved ones before me or the sake of his dear people and for the sake of the work unfinished he wanted to Jive But his work on earth was dune Hi last words were as he was for a moment brought back to consciousness by the sobs and cries of bis family stretching out his hands and hushing their sobs he sanl I am permitted I will me back to you I will be your guardian angel through Who knows my brethren but what the happy spirit of onr dear brother is with in this service to day Let us honor his reemoiy by taking up the work where he had to lay it down It will be the noblest monument we can rear to his memory Aud may we find in the day of reunion that he wbo has ministered to us in this place and they who have profited by hi ministrations are one iu the kingdom of heaven The funeral procession was of an imposing character ninnta ra of friends and admirers of the deceased

present this morning said to me I i hat he neve heard me preach a sermon that I did not mention something about th brother hood of mtn and I told hint that God helping ne never would hear me preach another without mentioning it Christ's relation to mm was that he treated them as bone of His lone and flesh of His fl 'sh anti not the Jews only but all men and not simply the good people but also who were bad He came to seek and save those who were lost the friend of publicans and sinners 'Tlie peculiar feature of His dealings with men was that He always treated everybody as a brother and as a son of God and I say that in our dealings with men in the measure in which we are controlled by that treating every man and all men as brethren as bone or our fame and fleeh of our flesh as our that is the measure of onr spirituality Now 1 know that that is not an eay thing It is easier when we are young and have nut tasted the bitterness and disappointments of life the crosses of life When we are full of early hope mid enthusiasm it is an easy thing but when we have been taken advantage of it is a difficult thing to bo sweet and pure and trnd and have a heart full of brotherly love to all have never told yon it was easy bnt that there is a cross to bear But the secret of a Christlike life i to keep the sweet pure life of childhood in the bitter experiences of man hood And to live spiritual Cbristlike life would lead to tbe third our relation to Gud absolute submmsion to the will of God He could say I and my ather are I of course recognise that He could say that in a sense in which no human being could say it but I also wish to say that there is a sense in wnich wa may have a sympathetic identity with and full con esrondence of mind and will with God will was at one with God and in the measure in which we endeavor to have onr wills the same ia the measure in which we are living a spiritual life I venture to say this I speak from experience and those of you who have travelled the journey of life will be able to respond to what I that it is an 'easier thing to do the will uf God than to tear patiently the will of God The last fruit of the spirit developed is juttience patience is the erown of goodness Now I say that following Christ in your lifeis spiritual religion We should bear patiently our life according to the role and example and according to the spirit of Christ trentinsc men as brothers and God as our not aa a duty that we ought to do but really to fol low His example It has been charged against me tliat I have preached a severe morality that I have called upon people to do the will of God My friends I know too much of the im perfection of human nature to rest satisfied xvitl i that There is the real example follow it What I have taught is that you cannob do it in your own strength Time after time have 1 urged yon to waken np the latent jxnver in yonr nature ny which yon can follow Cbiirt and that it i ouiK direct from God I have insisted that unless yci are born again yon cannot see the vision of a perfect life the Kingdom of heaven And 1 insist now that the one thing nerdfcl tn fa gin a truly religions life a truly spiritual life is being born again enter into any foiioal exposition of re generation I always get connieed in any formal ixporitiou of it It is a mystery of God and I believe beyond tlie apprehension of th human intelligence wind bloweth where it li teth so is licing born of the Spirit We don't all undergo the ame there diversity of opera tion but the same spirit To waken up to the spirit of Gud and to apprehend anything of the high ideal we must be born again We must bo lom I have to insistn that thi morning as the love of Christ is the only constraint that is adequate to sustain the self suppression the self denial necessary to lead to a spiritual life The ordinary motives put forth the hope of per sonal gain in this life or die lite to come that we hope to secure when we die to get

light Christ's yoke i easy and His burden light There come times in all our lives when we have a more solemn sense of the importance of life and of what we are doing than ordinarily There come moments
