A Visit Ta Tile First Presbyterian
Church in Position, eniii0Min.
The Editor of the Advance recently
had tae privilege of attending eervice
in this church, and possibly eome fur-
ther reference may be of interest to
our readers. ler addition to our weekly
Notes of Travel on 4th page,
The church is built of cement atone
and is the most costly in the city.. An
official quoted the cost (exclustve of
boat of organs) at $310,000. Near to
• the churele stands the chapel, where
services of Sunday School, prayer.
meetings, etc., are held. This IS fine-
ly furnished with class rooms and
pipe organ, and is as substantially
built as the church. A btoad covered
archway leads to the church, so that
in case of yain no difficulty is experi,
enced in passing from one to the
other. go the tower of the chute')
there is a very fine set of chimes, and
on Sunday morning and evening,and
on Wedneeday evenings, the chimes
remind the worshippers that the ham
of service is approaching, byringing
out eNearer my God to Thee,', "What
a friend we have in Jesus," 'show firm
a foundation" and other old favorites.
The auditorium is large, with gallery
on three sides, the seats slanting to-
wards the pulpit. We estimate that
there were 2,500 present at the morn.
ing service. The seats are rented, but
After five minutes previous to the time
of service, all seats are free. The ves-
tibules, are thronged with visitors,
awaiting the courtesy of the ushers
/
who are exceedingly obliging.
The organ is the largest on the coast
and cost $25,000; it was the gift of
one of the members, and presents A,
magnificent appearance, and is power-
ful but, sweet in its tone. In Pasadena
there is more instrumental music than
in Canadian churches, and he this
church the visitot's attention will be
frequently arrested by the cessation
of the large organ, and in the perfect
stillness 1 hat follows, sweet, dulcet
' strains seem to come from some dis-
tant building. They are the delight-
fully sweet strains of the Echo organ,
ulaich cost $10,000; this instrument is
located in the tower and it also was
gift to the Church. The music of this
organ in its softest distant strains was
, the sweetest abet ever felt upon our
ears,It seemed as if the doors of the
upper Sanctuary:were thrown open,
and a little of the heavenly melody
had been allowed to escape.: We shall
never forget it.
The choir is a quartette oilier e all
are talented musicians and receive
good salaries. and the music is of a
high chess. The four singers steed at
a high desk, on which their books
rest. The front of this desk is orna-
mented with a broad band and fringe
very richly gilded, and at each side of
the desk an equally richly -gilt pillar
sustains an highly ornamental lamp
bearing the electric bulbs, shaded with
stained glass. • ,
• A very pleasing effect in lighting
the church at night is produced. The
heavy, at ched supports of the roof are
extended downward at eleven points
on each side, ending in 22 large lan-
terns, with stained glass sides; the
light shining through these furnishes
a Vag pleasing, subdued
In Pasadena, the Churches furnish
four-page bulletins each Sunday with
complete order of services, • all an-
nouncements, etc. We copy from the
bulletin the order of service for that
morning, omitting the words of the

2—Doxology and Lord's Prayer.
3—Quartette by choir.
4—Responsive reading.

The pastor, Rev. De. Malcolm Mc-
Leod, Is a Canadian and receives
salary of $0,500, vvith six months' va-
eation. His congregation voted him
$1000 more, which he declined. There
is an assistant pastel', who frequently
preaches in the evening; be also at-
tends to the pastoral visitation, and
receives a salary of $1,800. We heard
Dr. McLeoci with great pleasure and
profit I although be read his sernton,
it Was well delivered and there was no
slavish dependance on the manuscript.
If we might pass an opinion, we
should say that Dr. McLeod is scho-
larly, careful in pulpit preparation,
forceful and evangelical. he is said
to be severe in his strieteres on the
old time Oitivinisna.

this, the congregation supports the

McGillivray now took a band in peer-

HIT, and Johnston was chased to the
fence for a trip. The locals were up
and at it and Marlette scored two in
quick succession, the 4th after he had
dodged the whole Harriston team and
even pulled out, the goal tender. The
game here took on a little roughness
but Bern's watchful eye got it all and
again sent Johnston and Carter to the
fence for trips. Each team was shoot-

After the most, the game became
more even but the locals were not
working very hard but Marlette,. who
was working nicely, landed No. 7, and
McGillivray No. 8 for. Wingham, then
Brown, the harristan centre, made it

ONT., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1910.
INAUOURAL SERMONS,
Rev, E. ff. Croly, B. A,, St. Pauj's New
Rector, Enters Upon His Duties.
The services th St, Paul's church
last Sunday were of unusual interest.
Rev. 13,,11. Oroly, B. A., who was re-
cently appointed to the Rectorship,
preached both morning and evening,
to large and appreciative oongregee
telons.
In the morning he chose as his text,
• Matt. 25 :23—" Well done, good and
faithful servant," etc. On ate occasion
of this kind a rector feels his responsi-
bility, first, as a man, and second, an
account of the solemn vows which he
has taken. It is a time to make re-
solves both for rector and congrega-
tion. It is a milestone in their lives.
But there is a source of joy in the
thought that throughout the Church
universal the clergy and people are
praying the one for the other. Our
Lord and His disciples had just as-
cended the Mount of Olives from
which they viewed the city of Jerusa-
lem. The disciples remembered that
the destruction of the city had just
been foretold and they asked when
this should be and what should be the
sign of His coming. But our Lord
confines His reply to the signs of His
coming. Then he put forth the para-
ble of the ten virgins and the talents
to show that our hearts should be at-
tuned to the will of God and our out-
ward walk good. "Well done" is only
part of the rewards The rest lollows.
As we improve our opportunities here,
whatever they may be, as we are faith-
ful to our charge, we are promoted to
higher spheres of labour. herein is
cotnfort for us, when eve see our loved
ones and the choicest of earth's spirits
taken from us. They have been called
La higher service in God's vineyard.
Then we come to the final reward,
"Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
We cannot tell what it is but we know
that it is great joy. We should also
think of the third servant. He felt
that his talent was too trivial and he
hid, it. There is one talent which we
all have. If we do not use it, God will
take it from us, for God does not lack
for service.
In the evening the lector preached
a thongbful sermon on "Prayer," the
text being James 4:3 and Matt. 213:39.
The subject of prayer opens up a wide
outlooki We identify holiness with
prayer. What • we are; we are by
prayer. What is prayer ? The an-
swer' is in the text. Is it right to
pray? We answer that it is, for
preyer is based on the necessity of our
frame, first, on account of our need of
sympathy, because we feel the divine
sympathy flowing into our hearts
from prayersecondly, because all
things are ordered by one divine will;
thirdly, because We base one claim on
sonship ; and again because he who
came to show as Ale way, prayed.
He prayed, therefore I will and I must
pray ; lastly, because all God's saints
have prayed. There is an erroneous
view of prayer. Some think that, if
we have faith, we have only to ask
God and he will grant all our requests.
But there are some prayers that God
cannot answee. God is limited by his
wisdom, goodness and laws. How-
ever, as man can overcome gravity,
so God can combine his larva to answer
prayers which seem foolish. 'tete do
not get answers to out prayers becauee
they are incompatible . with God's
laws; For example,. to cast a pebble
one .foot fart bet. up the •ocean shore
would require the whole universe to
be changed. Ask the grey-haired
Christian. Ile did not have all his
prayers answered. Again, our atti-
tude, when our prayers are answered
or rejected, is a test of our spiritual
-state What is the true efficacy of
prayer ? It is in the submission of the
humeri will, the blending of the human
and divine wills, that we find the true
end of prayer, It calms our anxious
and tumultuous fears. That prayer
is best which leads to fellowship and
communion with God. The true pur-
pose of prayer is to leave all our de-
sires with Him. Let tie pray till we
lose all foolish desires pray mail we
are sunk into the divine will,
On Monday evening a very large
bomber availed themselves of the op-
portunity of meeting Me. and Mee
