SANDERS, EDITOR — .Hansall There is talk that incorporation for this village is going to fall through.— Mr.111, Y. Meenans of the Huron Expos itor, was in the village on Monday.— Dr, Ferguson has the brick work of his new dwellieg, completed, and the car penters are putting on the roof.—The Editor of this paper passed through this suburb, if we mistake not, ou his bike on Monday. Although we hailed him in stentorian tones yet we could not "catch" his ear. Is the editor troubled with deafness or is he so absorbed in matters, matrimonial or otherwise, that he becomes entirely oblivious to his surroundings?— What is known in the Presbyterian church as "Children's Day" was observed iu Carmel churce on Sabbath morning last. In addition to special music appropriate to the oc- casion, there was a special sermon to the children by the pastor. He illus Grated his subject which was "Work' and gave the children a valuable ob- joot lesson by means of four different Weeks and which he used to illustrate different kinds of professing Christians. The first clock was in perfect order ex- cept that, it had no bands or dial. It tiokod away with itself but did not point out the time of day, the very thing the maker had in view and therefore it was useless. This clink illustrates a class of professing Chris- tians who live professedly a good life but who make no confession to their fellows. They have no defieite aim, no settled purpose in life. They do not point the way to any one, they do not raise any one up. Like the clock without a dial they are ticking away within their own narrow shell and like it, accomplishing nothing. They are useless Christians. The second clock was seemingly perfect to outward. ap- pearance, but it would not go, and ex- amtuation proved that it had no works, no motive power. It professed to indi- cate the time as it had hands and dial, but it had im inahnepring or pendulum and there its appearance was entirely hypocritical. This clock illustrated a worse class of professing Christians than the former, namely, those who put on religion as a mask in order to grati- fy -some selfish desire, or gain some coveted advantage. Like the clock they point to something but their hands in dieate no progress. They have no heart and, no life—uothing but a face and even that is not much to look at, and he, the speaker, never knew a hy- pocrite who was worth looking at. They are not serving God or fulfilling the purpose for which they were creat ed, they are serving thebaselves. They are mere professors only, The third clock was perfect in all the essential details and it only needed to be wound and started to beat the time correctly and even to challenge the sun himself for his unsteady gait. It fulfilled per- fectly the purpose its maker bad in view, namely, to indieate the time of day. This clock represented the typi- cal christian who does his work honest- ly, faithfully and well and thus fulfils the purpose of his Creator, namely "to gloryify God and to enjoy Him forever," The fourth clock was entirely different from the others. Like the third it was perfect in all the essential details but in addition it had a beautiful mechan- ism for striking the hours. Precisely at the hour a small door opened in the upper part of the clock and as the strik. ing continued a bird began to warbble in re soft vieledious voice. This clock represented those who not only do their work faithfully but do it with life, en- thusiasm and joy. They are the ideal Christians. In concluding his remarks the speaker also illustrated the Chris- tian life by the different parts of a clock such as the spring for prime mover, the pendulum for regulator, the verge for controller, etc. Mr, Henderson desery es praise for his efforts to instruct and entortaiul the children.—The Christian Endeaver society of Carmel church had a good _meeting on Sunday evening last. ,The meeting was led by Miss Aggie Hoggarth who read an article on the subject. The subject was fur- ther discussed by Mrs. McCloy, James Wood, Dr. Ferguson and others. Miss Aggie Carr and Miss Esther Moore also sang in pleasing style a beautiful duet. We are under the weather with a cold, the result, as we suppose, of meeting one doer would-be aristocratic females on Broadway a couple of evenings ago. We noticed that the adyancing figure was a shade blue about the gills and somewhat fidgety intt' t ovements ite?m il and fearing that pomiff elnusually chilly was coming, tefine6tently but- toned our coat tighO'erd swerved to the right as far is 'we 'd,ould without trespassing upon prtente property. No- ticing in passing the . figure that the face seemed familiar stud greeted it with a smile and a word expressive of old time cordial relations, but it simply passed on like a statute on stilts and every feature and linatnent of whose physiognomy was expressive of haugh ty disdain and bottled, insolence and uontempt. We are not prepared for such extreme frigidity Mr, Editor and if this female ever intends to meet us again on our central Boulevard we hope she will let us know in advance so that we may insulate ourselyes with extra, clothing from such extreme cold.
