The Main•St. Methodist Chorch lute during the past couple 9f months, been un dergoing extensive improvements, an among other things the erection of a bean VW tower and pire. besides veriens in side improvements, Hitherto the entrane to the church was effected by outsid steps to an elevated platform, During th winter months and especially when th elements rendered the surfaee ley, the as cending Or 01135011(1in these steps wa made dangerona, in tact oftentimes ther were narrow escapes from itujury, it bein miraeulous that some of the many accident had not proved seriously. The church re quirecl ' remedying in this respect, and whil e it was the intention to thus insure sse, safety of the attendants, it was pro- posed to erect improvements with a view to beautifying and rendering the edifice more attractive. The steps were soon down and the entrance lowered to the ground., and narrower steps were placed inside, leading to the entra.nce arches on either side. A large and comfortable ante -room, extend, fug across the entire church'has been par- titioned from the main building, which is a COO' mendable mprovement, being warmer and more roomy than the one for- merly used, which has now been lowered and converted into a portico, there rising above it a tower to the height of 75 feet The whole work of improvement cost ir the neigborhood of $1,000, whieh sum was raised by private sebscription before the work was begun, and to the pastor, Mr. Wilson ; Messrs. W, H. Verity, John Trick and, others is due much praise for their efforts in consummating such a de- sired improvement. The contractors, Messrs. Dyer and 'How- ard pushed the work along quite rapidly, and on Sunday and Monday last, the re- opening eervices were held. On Sunday three very eloauent and instructive ser- mons were preached —in the morning and evening by Rev. Mr. McDonagh of Lon- don ; in the afternoon by Rev. Mr. Hen- derson (Presbyterian) of Hensel'. Epi- tomes of the discourses will be found , Perhaps one of the most powerful ser - 100115 ever preached in Exeter was ex- pounded at the re -opening Of the Methodist Church here last Sunday morning, by Rev. Mr. McDonagh. He took for his text, 2 Chron. vi: 18.But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Be- hold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee how much less this house that I have bsillt !" • The minister drew attention to the most wonderful structure the world has ' even seen, Solomon's temple, built by the most skilled artisans in the world, and costing L800,000,000 sterling. The house of God shoulcl be the most costly of any building in the world., he said, for was not God our guest? We would go to extremes toprovide for the comfort, taste, etc., of our queen should sbe deign to visit us, then how much more for the King of Kings. All secular amusements were gotten up with a vie w to neatness and attractiveness, so ought our churches, and if by so doing we could draw ae few more into its precepts, it would be -well repaid. Solomon's temple was the most wonderful structure as re. gents its mode of building. Every part of the buildiag was made elsewhere. • It was brought to the place of erection and put in place without the aid of any tools and Mout noise.' And on the day of dedication when the procession of David came, anclthe men bad placed the ark on the dome of, rock, deathlike silence insnecl, in which Solomon offered up the grandest prayer the world ever heard. God's great condeseendancy was marvellous iu the eyes of Solomon, that He, the great I Am, whose eternity no one could eomprel.end should condescend to notice the gathering. • With ma,n there is a past, present and future; with God there is not. Mankind sprung from life; not so with God for he is eternal. The immensity of space, the universe and all the wonders of astronomy astonished Solomon, and no wonder he cried with wonderment, "Behold. heaven and the heaven of heavens 'cannot contain thee, how much less this house that I have built." How little we think of God. We lie down to sleep, our heart beating, our lungs expanding, and all the,functions of the body in operation, we little think of - that power behind it. Every human be- ing, every animal, every insect, all the cieatures of the world, are subject to the will of God, and no wonder Solo- mon was amazed and spoke the language of the text. The rev. gentleman now spoke of God's supremacy and humiliation. God had walked, talked and communed with Abraham,' Isaac Jacob, Moses and. others, but it was not until Christ came to earth, that he dwelt with men. Heaven, he said, was deserted of all the angels when Christ was born—all came to earth to worship him. After all these things it no wonder Solomon was amazed at God's condescension to dwell with men. Solomon did not ask in donut, if he had, people would have questioned the statement, but i he asked it n not doubt•fint belio.f., Sin is not human nature but devil nature, and can be expelled by God. It is possible to live a perfect sinless life, for did not God command Abraham to be perfect, and Christ commanded the devil to come out of him who was afflicted, •God dwelt with man and will dwell again at the resurrec- tion. Miraeles are not passed, said Ur.. McDonagh, and if the people to -day *mild come to the place of worship with as much faith and prayer as those people had, the bright light that hovered over Solomon's temple could be seen in the present dedi- cation. In the afternoon Rev. Mr. Henderson preached a very eloquent sermon, dwelling upon the vastness of God's supply, liken- ing it unto the unexhatietable wa,tees of the oceanwhich ascends and descends, but never diminishes the supply. Also with the sun's exhaustless, lighteshining through all the peel; Ewes, still will ebine through the ages to come. So it is with.God who supplies our spiritual needs through Jesus Christ. The speaker drew a very graphic and picturesque illustration of Christ leav. ing the eplendor, of his father's matsion to minister to the walito of the lost race. The rev, gentleman is an exceedingly eloquent speaker, holding. the closest attention of his audience during the diecourse, , Rev. Mr: MoDonagh preached again in the evening from 1 Cos. ; 2. He held Paul to be the greatest man that ever lived, his devotion, writings and culture preying it. Everybody is responsible for whet he knows, haying command of himself he guides himself to that extent that he is personally responsible for his (Idiom; fo life. But for other preferences everybody would be Christians, he, mid, end Peel does not differ with this statement, Paul evotild chop to his heart the reggedest, most wretched person for the glory of God, Some people of to day would pass a San on on the street withont as muck as a bow, simply because they are poor, Vot so with Paul, for be would throw aside everything for Christ, Here the rev. gentleman spoke of the enecession of the apostles: Ile declered that to such thing could be, for after the death of ,Tudas, an NOW ON WU:4AD PICKARD The largest and best assorted stock of Dry Goods in the county, bought strictly for cash.

RICHARD PICKARD, apostle was elected to fill his place, but his name was never mentioned afterwards. It would be better, he continued, if our politicians would also take the text et Paul, and do nothing that was not for the glory of God. There would not be much lying and crookedness if they ,did. Nothe ing should be done that God's blessing and sympathy can not be asked upon it When reading the statement of Pani, pee. ple were apt to say it was too contracted but, he explained, there is nothing on, earth that hed not Ohriet. The Bible is the greeted book of truths on earth, and either God or Satan is our master. No persoircould possibly,find pleaeare in siu, for the father of sin has neither pleasure nor power. The discourse was lengthy but interesting, and was eistened to with rapt attention. , Liberal collections were taken up az the close of each service, which, together with an envelope donation amounted to $112. MONDAY EVENING. • The re opening was continued Monday evening. The chairman and pastor, Rev. Mr. Wilson gave a brief synopsis of the recent improvements and the object of the assembly. It was twenty years since the opening and many years since the last re- opening of the church Mr Redmond, the first speakerspoke of the church members as the different pillars that upheld the gospel of Chrht. His address was interesting and instruc • tive. • Rev. Mr. Clement was the next speaker He contended that affairs like this dis- closed tine manhood and. womanhood, and the beauty of the exterior of a church stirred up the spiritual nature of mankind. The :miracles of Christ, he contended, were not in any way contrary to nature. Rev. Mr. Martin was unavoidably ale - sent. Rev. Mr. McDonagh was the last speak- er. He causally remarked that he detested Home Rule, and was not in sympathy with its propagators. Fe loved his corm. try (Ireland), he said, and believed to this :lay that it was tlie."pride of the ocean, and the gem of the sea." There was, how- ever, no country in the world. that came under Christian civilization and culture as Canada had. He fiercely denounced Ro- maniere, but believed that many Roinahi Catholics were sincere in their belief, and he would defend their liberty, but referred to Roma,nism as Baptized Heathenism, and urged all Protestaets to awaken to the fact. He did not deny that such infidels as Huxley, Tyndall, and Dawin, wee great scientific men, but their science was not Christian science, although they got their knowledge ft om Christian teachings. He declared that we cannot prove any material matter exists. We cannot see a tree, it is the pic.ture in the back of our eyes; we cannot feel it, for the feeling is in ourselves and not in the tree. The only proof we have, said the speaker, is by con- sciousness, and therefore she infidel hes no foandation for his belief, for we have more proof of spiritualism than material. ism, The speaker here carne back to his first theme. He said that during the past 14 years, 6.000 conversions are taking place every 24 hours. On this continent Methodi.ts alone are opening from 9 to 10 churches eVery 24 hours, daring the past 14 years. 29,000 Protestant churches have been built during the past 100 years. The 1:1.&P B.S. have, during the past 14 years, printed 7 Bibles every. minute, 6 days in the week The Bible was now printed in 300 languages. The B. S. of the United States have printed 513ibles every minute. 6 days in the week, for the last 14 years. The Prcitestant churches were becoming more and more amalgamated, and, accord ing to prophesy, would: ultimately become one fold. He deplored the fact that many churches were following after the style of Romanism, and believed that all Protes- tant churches ehould be as one grand fold. The collections ;at Sunday's and Mon- day's services amounted to $150.78. The choir supplied excellent music, all services were well attended and proved very suc- cessful. The amount asked by the pastor was $150, a suffieient sum to wipe out the entire indebtedness of the church, save a small balance against the Ladies' Aid So- ciety, which they expect to pay off very 5000. idtl-ou Gry '10r t --toner„ s.
