On Sunday last the Main Street
Methodist Church celebrated ' , tIneir

ducted by the pastor, Rev, Dr. Medd
both morning and ,evienitig, and were
of a bright anal interesting 'nature'. In

Inle th acts t church were withdranyn and
the pastors, Rev. Foote and Rev.
Baird assisted in the service. The
special music by the choir brightened
the Services vary materially. The
church was filled:to. capacity at -night.
Dr. Medd took for his text, Psalm
33-12, "Blessed is -the nation whose
God ja the Lord". In part he said, -
"'Tire text is -a great and magnifi-
cent truth. It tells us that riglite,pus-
