ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.
The Anniversary Services of James
Street Methodist Church on Sunday
last were a great success, and it may
be said that they have not been par-
alleled by any similar event k the his-
tory of the church: The special
preacher was Rev. Dr. S. Banks Nel-
son, .ot Knox Presbyterian, Church
Hamilton, who enjoys the distinction
of preaching to the largest congrega-
tion in. that city, His discourses were
of an exeseedengly forceful charactex
and his power as .a preacher was de-
monstrated to a marked degree. He
has a remarkable presence and deliv-
ery, is scholarly and oratorical, and, is
able to exert a peculiar ,magnetic in-
fluence over his beareraa He brings
out the more serious paints of his
subject with wonderful effect, while
at time n by his witticisms he •evoked
irresPteblc laughter.
hi the evening the reverend gentle-
man 'took his text from 'Mark I, and
the 15th verse, with particular refer-
ence to the words, "The Kingdom of
God is at handy Chri►s1t's ;birth was
a new event and his wept/ring was
new. He taught and preached inpar-
ab les and the predomannating keynote
was the "Kingdom of God," That
was the burden of all his - tlocitrine
and teaching. Is it the .burden of our
teaching ? An texpression, far more
familiar to us is, "The Christian
church. Christ only used it meet

ion has lost the word and until she
finds it and practisaes its precepts: she
will not be the potent factor s'he
should be. The power on the church
is too limited and too much confined
to its lour walls, . whereas .the effects
of itsteaching shod ,be 'seen in the
daily hives of her ,members and com-
municants. Many good people are not
church members.. Many re1oa•nis of
moral and socirall life ,often diol not be -
sone to the Christian ,church, but nev-
ertheless same practidsing, the fruits .of
the true. Kin.gdlom, namely, mutual aid,
kindness brotherly :love,• and the

noted, and more co-operation, which
is .really the key's(tone of • C{1*ist;s

ning with the home ,shouied be broad-
