Wallia Church Anniversary..
The flret anniversery of the opening of lbe
New Presbyterian church was celebrated on
Monday last. The services on Sabbath were
attended, both in the morning and evening,
by large and interested congregations; tbe
pulpit was occupied at both services by the
Rev. A. D. lgeDonald, of Seafortb, who
preached two thoughtful, earnest, eloquent
and appropriatt-disceursee. At the morning
service, be took for his text, 1 Chronicles,
28; 9-10; in,a careful argument, the preacher
showed that the knowledge of God was the
starting point of the ehristian life, that the
great aim of the cnristian throughout his
course ie to "know God" and that the joys
and bliss of eternity consisted of a perfected
knowledge, it was then .poirited out how this
knowledge led to 'service, -and how this eervioe
partook in its nature of the knowledge of
which it Was au outcome; the way of seeking
was then explained, and the falsjs idea that
God was oontinually hiding himself, and
man's part was to find him out, was disposed
of, it being contended that the seeking God
was, learning to know the character of Him
who. is ever willing to reveal himpolf to those
who seek to,knosv. The preacher dealt with
the question of -a generation's duty to carry
:out the unfulfilled -plans and purposes of the
preceding. generation, and showed bow the
text eulsported the olaim which such plans
and purposes had upon ohristians. •
The -text of the discourse in the evening
was Jar.' 6, 10, which as treated in a (deer
and convincing manner under the folio wing
fear ,divisions :-1. The old paths, - 2. The
old paths are good ways. 8, Ho* to walk
therein. - ,4. The preens° given to Owe who.,
walk therein. Under the first division the
preacher said that God had in eternity hedged
mnit's path about with goodness, and the
piths all led not only to, but through perfeet
happiness, which had only been marred by
man's own: disobedienee. The tendency of
the humen mind often was t� leave the old
:paths and !leek happiness in devices of -his
rirbut.none-save-tbese-old-pathewhich-God-
had made would lead :to happiness. These
paths were a good way; let; because it was a
perfeet way; 2nd, because it was the way of
peace ; and -3rd, because it was a living way.,
In seeking this way_ we are first called upon to
stand. • Precipitancy at all tiraes is foolish,
but most especially in connection with chria-
tianIty. Christ has palled upon those who
would follow him to count the (lost and thew
take up their cross and follow 'him. ..Next,
people were to ask, :to seek guidance'from
those who had long been in the way, who
could direct them aright;• and ask God, es-
pecially, and then .haviitg stood and asked, we
,are directed te walk,- to continue therein to
the end. The promise .rcennected with Vie
