The name wae depression following a viotory owing to the absence of human sympathy and companionship, Hie enforced inactivity and disappoinment in viotory over Baal were oleo contributing oaueee. Elijah's intensities were heroic however and he would sooner die than live to no purpose. The remedy prescribed was Physical— rest and foot ; Spiritual -in the voice of God ; Praotical—in the object leeeone of Dyclone, earthquake, fire and voioe. Everybody should seize by Faith on the silent forces of Divine Omnipotence, with- out which other remedies are vain. "Sing on" and "When life's Summer days are over" were the contributions by the choir. The day's services were of an inspiring and helpful oharaoter and will be evergreen for many a day.
