A Good Entertainment.
Given by Hiss Jean G. Murray 'and her
Talented Class of Pupils.
• The entertainment given by Miss
Jean G. Murray and her pupils, in the
Temperance Hall, on. Thursday even-
ing laata fully sustained the high tor..
pectations of the audienee. There was
a 1 irge attendance and Mr. D. D: Yule
conducted the duties of chairman in a
manner satisfactory to all. After a
aelection from the 'Firemen's Band, the
programme opened with aL beautiful
chorus "The Little Brown Church" by
the pupils; after which the 'Misses
Alfie and Eunie Little'geve are 'in-
strumental duet entitled "Pe,alla of
the iSea," which iterrendered very
well,. ii*nd. ia the second part of :the
programme they gaveAlie uarta"Vic-
.
'Cola,." calling firth the applause of the
audience., Mr. W, Hamilton, of Sea
forth, then gave the old. Scotch war
song "March of the Cameron Men,'
for which he was heartily encored,
Mr. Hamilton possesses a well-trained,
powerful tenor voice and his rendering
during the evening.,of "Scotland Yet,'
and the "Dying Stranger," were also
well received. • Miss Jean G. Murray
then followed with that beautiful reci-
tation of a little gni "MilOng the:
dasies," whish she recited to perfection
and later •on in the eveeing gave a
touching selection entitled "A love
story on a Texas Ranh" on the. banks
of the Rio Grande, for which she was
loudly 'applauded: The , Seafortn
Quartette Club, was then introduced
by the ehanman, and for the first
appeared before a Leaknow audience.
This coMpany•consists of four young
gentlemen, -all •of whom possess well-
trained voices, and their rendering of
the "March of the Men of Harlock,"
• "Poor old.Joe," "0. P. R. A."' 'and
others,. was the finest ever given in the
village.. The Misses Lila Gordon and
Emma Flood gave a nicely' executed
instrumental duet, "Waves of the
Ocean,' whish was followed by Miss
Agnes Corrigan, with the sweet Irish
ballhr
ad ;"Tee Leaves of Shamrock,"
which .she rendered in a good voice.
Instruinental selections were also
given by Miss' EunieLittleaMiss Eaton
Whitely, and Miss Jean G. llitfrray,
while the choruses "Fairies of the Sea,"
and "Who's dat calling so sweet," were
rendered by the pupils.'• Mr. W. G.
Willis, Of Seaforth, in the solo "The
Storm Fiend," and "True till death,"
was loudly applauded, and Miss Lila^
Gordon also received applause, for her
solo entitled "I seek thee in every
flower." The club swinging by six
little gide in dostumes, Isla McIntyre,
Nettie McDonald, Eunie . Little
Tena Lawrence, Lila Gordon, and
Maud McGrory,' was eerteinly one of
the best things on Vie programme and
nit ,with a well-deserved encore.
Two tableaux including • "Canaditui
Sports," and "Camping on the old
camp ground" were given at the_eleaa
of each part of the progratrane, and
the different scenes represented were
very natural and looked eiceedingly
well in the red light of the Grecian

The opening services of the new
Presbyterian church in Lucknow were
conducted on Sunday last. There
were no services held in two of the
village churches, while many of the
congregations in the townshipsalso
-dispensed- -with-their nautal services in
order to allow their people to attend
,the dedication. The new church is a
magnificent structure, and we believe
the handsomest in the County of
Bruce. It is a large, substantialawhite
brick building of modern gothic archi-
teettirea- and -from its -high arid .Oom.-
mending position presents te, grand
view from all sections. The plans and
specifications of the building were the
work of the .late Mr. George F. Durand,
of Landon, while the work of construct-
ing the edifice, was entrustel to Mr.
-Ralaara-Ilat-terse
roan who .has proved himself to be
thoroughly. competent for the undet-
taking, and has done' his part pf the
contract in a most workmanlike
manner, and to the entirea
satisfaction
of the building committee.- Viewed.
from. without the birilding is 'indeed a
beautiful One, and. not only gives an
imposing appearance • tO' our, village
bus would greatly credit any city in
the Province. It is.82 feat, in, length
and 46 feet wide, •but with thaalarge
corner of the building, gives it a repel)
nobler and wider -looking appearance
from t
the front. The tower is 13 feet
wide and .15 feet deep, and has 72 feet
high of brickwork, with 16 feetturrets
and finals, making it in all 88 feet high.
The grounds. on which the.building is
erected are beautifully situated: op the
corner of Hamilton add lo
Haveck
Street; with a frontage of ten rods on
Havelock and twelve'rods on Hamilton
Street. On the north. is the Queen's
Park, and on the south the Public
School. The church has a:'substantial
stone basement ten feet six inches in
tower which stands at the south eas
hight, above which is a brick wall six-
teen feet high: The lame auditoruna
the ceiling of which is thirty-thaee feet
high, of ash, with cut diagonal panels;
has a seating capacity of between six
and seven hundredaand with its hand-
' some large stained glass windows
makes a very attractive appearance
from within. The floor of the audi.
torum has an incline of about eighteen
inched, so that seated in any part
•
thereof you can get an uninterrepted,
view' of the speaker. One thing
which is deserving of special mention
ia the seats . As a general thing the
seats in churches are not always. ccim-
fortable, but comfort wtt, apparently
the chief object of the workmen who
'had charge of this department. They
are semi -circular in design, with iron
efids, earth one having a eliding panel
that can be drawn out mid -way acrosa'
the aisle for more seating rootn, if
necessary. In the rear a receding al-
cOve provides a suitable clevatibn for
the minister's pulpialwhile directly in
front of it is the choir space, surround-
ed by a handsome railing., • In the
front of the building, over the mainetrance,
elltrance, is a nicely finished gallery
•capable of seating a large number.
• In addition to this there is a com-
modious basement for the use of the
Sabbath school, and off which are four
snialler rooms, one of which is suitably
arranged for the infant classes. The
entire building is heated by two large
• turnades. manufriaiii red by M6-§:§te.
• Leary & Co., of London, and will be
illuminated by four large chandeliers
extending from the ceiling; a,nd which
will give a brilliant light .down upon

et, but to the pastor and the entire
congregation of the church, and in this
connectionit .might not be out of
place here to also give a word of praise
to Mr. Steele Murdoch, who had the
job of the stonework, and Mr.• J. Reid
& Sons, of Goderich, who erected the
brick -work. Their respective .works
were well done and in keeping with
the rest of the beautiful' structure.
• When the Work of haying tlie corner
stone of this grand edifice was to be
done, the Rev. Dr. Caven, of Toronto,
performed the e.eremony, and now that
the whole work has beea completed,
no more suitable person could have
been salected to open ,it for Divine
Worship, than his able co -educa-
tionist, the Rev. Professor *McLaren,
D. D., of Knox College. Lens; before
the time announced •for the service to
begin, the entire building was packed
to the doors, and many were compelled
to go away, unable to gain adinitance.
• The ,Rev. Professor preachedan able
'and appropriate diecauese. from James
eliap.„ 25th • verse • • -
• so 00 e i In o •e per ect aw
of liberty and contimieth therein, he being
not a forgetful hearer, but a doer Of the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed."
The • reverend gentleman showed
•
that the law spoken of here .was not
to be taken' in its strict 'sense; of a
body of precepts, but in its • wider
signification, of the whole WOrd• of
God, .including 'pretniaeS and •threat-
enings, is . well as precepts. God's
word as rightly called a law, because
it is stamped with the authority of
God.• •It is a law of liberty, because
it is de. Signed to fiee from the slavery
of in, Which is the worst kind ' of
bondage, into the liberty of God's
children, which., is the moat glorious
• liberty. It,isa portent law of liberty,
because all its parts are subservient, to,
and conipletely adapted to the end of
giving liberty to those erislaaed.
I. The view, here presented of. the.
word of God is that of a inirron—Iii
however many different attitudes • a
person may appear before 'a . mirror,
each attitude will be distinctly repro-
duced. There are three important
• viewswhich we may always get Of
ourselves by lookaig, into. God's word.
(let). Ruined by sin,--Jhe mirror
shows that we are "conceived in sin,"
" condeinned already," and among
those described by that awful word
" lost." (2nd). Within reach of safety
hrough Christ. —The mirror shows
that .while we can do nothing for
ourselves, God has done great(things.
He sent His Son and His oly Spirit.
A full salvation has beenawrought out
for us and is offered to each and all.
Stand at the side of this mirror and
you may see your neighbor, but stand
in the front of ,it and you may see
that " Thou. art the man" .to w-hoin
Christ offers himself in all his fulness.
(3rd). As the subjects of moral obli-
gation.—Though believers are freed
I.from the law ta a method of justifica-
tiona no moral creature can be freed
from it as a rule of life.
• H. The manner in which it should
be aeceived.—We should look and
continue, looking. (1st). We .should:
look with . eaarrest ,attention. :Many
look so carelessly . that they form no
distinct inipression and hence nothing
in God's word is to them as the face of
.a familiar .fi•ieild. God's word should
be read with earnest attention, as
death warrant, a free pardon, and as
directions to guide the lost. (2nd).
We should look habitually. Though
we.cannot always be reading the bible;
or hearing sermons, we may have the
truth in .our minds, so that it becomes
part of ourselvr.s, and •that we daily
•Eve under its influence.
HI. Tho blessing which attends
the right reception of the mord.—(1)
In the continued sense of peace with
God, it presents those views which
impart peace, and which continue to
impart it. The more we look unto
God's word the clearer will our views
be of •Gods's plan of salvation,, and
consequently the deeper will our peace
be, (2) In the steady and progressive
growth in grace God's word gives the
strongest waives to overcome sin and
'abound in tbe service of God. (3) In

department of human duty, and 4- that
we have perfect illustratienie tti: this
law in the life of Christ. (4) In the
consolationa which it supplies ander'
all the trials of lite. The Dr. • chased
with an earnest exhortation to all to
look into the word stating that he
never saw anyone on a dying bed sorry
for studying God's truth; and tint no
one can look too soon. •
' allaccaligiatidifedthe congregation on'
the spacious and beautiful building which •
was a monument of their liberality and
enterprise. '• He went on to say that
the erection ofthis building was only
the scaffolding for higher and nobler
work, and urged them to earnest and'
united efforts to build up within it the -
living church.
Rev. M r. McDonald, of ' Ashfield,
•preached able and appropriate sermons.
to an. overflow meeting in thebase-
ment and to the Gaelic people at the
• close of the English services. The
body of, the church was well fillednt

and will be long. remembered by these
w o were present. In the 'OVening •
the 'church was attain packed about
six o'clock, thougll.the hour of aerviecta.
was 6:30. The reverend •Professor .
preached another inspiring discourse.
on John XIV. 12, while the Rev. J.
James, D.- _D.. of Walkerton, assisted a '
by the Revs :Collintg and 3/LaKinnona
conducted an interesting service in the.'

congregation.
The collections. in aid of the bend-

were very good, alid amounted in the-.
aggregate to the rri of $228.
