He took .W. D. Swam Ir, Clerk. for his text First Peter, 4th, chapter, and 7th verse, (But the end of all things is at hand. Be ye therefore sober and watch unto prayer. To illustrate the text he told themvery plainly that the close of the year 1SS8 was near at hand sods the end of all our lives near at hand and that we soon should go the way of all flesh; and the place that knows us now will soon know us no more forever. He said men andwomen seldom find themselves hard tasked to love their earthly homes. The love of home grows naturally without any effort on their part. The longer they live at home the more they become attached to it. The Christian's home above is a sublimation of all that is good and enjoyable in his home below every jarring element being excluded accepting God's spirit and word as our guide hare. The Christian will find his love of a Heavenly home and capaci- ty for enjoying it to grow with his growth and become strengthened as the end approaches and where he finds him- self beneath the portals of the everlast- ing home of the righteous. It will be with the feeling of the laborer who joins wife and children at sundown. A large number attended the open- ing'ofthe new Trivitt Memorial church at Exeter on Sunday. They all report it the finest church hi the county, and the Bishop gave the ablest sermon ever preached in the district.
