At the morning service the text chosen was Proverbs 20th chapter and 27th verse, "The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord." It will not easily be forgotten. The anthems by the choir were well rendered and there was a heartiness about the congregational hymn sing - leg that was uplifting. There was a special Missionary program in the Sabbath School, under the direction of Superintendent Beese, that was specially attractive and gave a good lift to the Missionary givings undertaken by the. school for this year. Program was as follows Opening hymn • Prayer ; Hymn ; repeating Golden Texts of last quarter by the school ; solo, Lena Burling Address by Mrs. (Itev,) Fear in which apples were used as an object lesson ; chorus by little girls ; Hymn by school ; Address by Rev.

The sermon abounded in practical suggestions as to a life of genuine service. In addition to three fine anthems by the choir a choice duet was well sung by Miss Floody and Mrs. I. Brown.
