Patisfuotory does not oouvey to those who

of the grand sweep 0f them and the
spiritual uplift es the large audienoes

tions of Truth. Rev W. J. Clark, the

announced for the morning and evening
eervioee, but the people turned out in
snob numbere rendering it impossible to
all get into the auditoriumeoaeeoond seta
vine was aeoessary and Rev. F. J. Oaten,
Ph. 13„ Methodist minister, stepped into
the breech and conducted au interesting
service iu the basement in the morning,
and Bev. Mr. West, of Bluevale, rendered
like service in the evening. -
Mr. Olark'e text was Leviticus 20 and
26, "Be ye Holy, &e." After showing
that the eame aim was presented in the
73rd chapter of Ooloeeiane the speaker pro•
seeded to deal with the subject under the
following divisions ;—(1) God's purpose
contrasted with man's ambition ; (2) It
was sometbing no man was slant out
from, Moet people desired three things,
wealth, genius and noble birth, but many
are shut out of these, bot hollnees is open
to all. Epioebatue although a slave, de.
formed and orippled yet by bis writings
attained to holiness. Marcus Aurelius
was another type. Two aides to Holi-
ness, the first beteg humility toward God
and second a right attitude to ourfellows.
On the man ward aide it did not oonsiet
of doing some great thing but doing the
little every day 6bioge u000mnonly
well. (8) Separation from the idolatrous
nations was a necessary step to the
Israelitee in eeelciog Edolineee. The same
separation necessary today for tbe Jodi -
video!. (4) The purpose of Holiness.
That the creature might enter into re•
lotions with hie creator. The sermon,
of which the above is a brief and impar.
feet outline, was delivered with a power
and influence that cannot fail to be pro•
dnotive of good. In tbe evening Dlr.
Olark 000upied the pulpit again and
preaobed to en over crowded house, Rev.
Mr. West addressing the overflow meeting.
"Come unto Me all ye that labor, &o,,"
Matt. 1.28, was the Scripture chosen. It
was cleverly and pr,iotioally demonetrat•
ed by Mr. Clark. (1) Resilensnees is a
nnivereal condition of mankind. (2) It
was not aaoepted as an ideal condition
and man sought rest. The two answers
offered to the solution of the queetioo
were stated as (1) A change of outward
(+audition. (2) The answer of the stoic—
we Buffer but we give no sign. The
spirit of this text is one of the world's
ureeeuree—as the maintain) fact is that
men of anoient times and those of to day
have found rest in Christ. (8) How may

as three of the widely differing modes of

DO0RLE 11EMlea TRA SLEETING.
The style set by the services of the
Sabbath was rendered imperative on
Monday evening owing to the irntneuse
crowds who Dame from the hast, West,
North and South so the Methodist oburoh
was kindly placed at the diepoeal of the
people and with the two ohurobes packed
to the doors, even uncomfortably fall,
there were soared who could not got in.
A eplenditl supper was served in the base•
meat of the now uhuroh and from shortly
aftc-r 5 until after 8 o'olooli the hungry
visitors wreetled witb fowl, meat., salads,
pie, Dake, &o., &o., end it ever a set of
waiters bestirred themselves and worked
indefatigably the ladies and gentlemen
who performed this onerous duty on
Monday evening were fully entitled to
teat plea*, There seemed to be uo end
to the rush of people to be served -850
people were said to have been fed—but
correspondingly were the attendants
alert, and provieious, uncommonly good,
planed in riots profusion upon the tables.
Arrangements were made by which the
speakers and choir rendered service ab
both churches, Rev, Dr. Murray, of
Kineardine, and Rev. Mr. Whaley, of St.
Helene, were unable to be present but 11.
Holmes, M. P. for Weet Huron, and W.
H. Kerr, of Tan PoeT, did duty in their
stead. Rev. W. T. Hail presided at the
Presbyterian ohnroh and after Rev. Mr.
Oaten bad got the meeting in the other
ohureh in full awing he handed over the
reins to W. 11. Kerr. At Knox ohnroh
the addressee were given in the following
order :—Words of welcome from the pail -
tor, W. fI. Kerr, Rev. Mr. Clark, R.
Holmes, M. P. Rev, Mr. Oaten and Rev.
Mr. West. At the Methodist nhuroh Mr.
Holtnes spoke first followed by Reeds.
Masers. Oaten and West, W. H. Kerr and
Rev. Mr. Oleik. Excellent musics WCe
rendered by the Presbyterian choir of
Wingham, Geo. Olins, conductor. They
very good natnredly made their tripe
backward and forward so as to render an
equal abate of their ohoioe seie:alone to
each audience. Encores were generously
responded to and a more unique and
diversified program, taking it all in all,
would be hard to find. Rev. Mr. Olark'e
addressee were particularly worthy of
mention. In Knox ohureh hie topic tvae
"Floppiness" and his second effort was a
well arranged speech on "Oenadianism,"
both pocked full of well seasoned advice
and helpful hints. Hearty votes of
thanks were paused to all who assisted.
Rev. Richard Hobbs, Methodist
minister of Wingham, occupied the pal•
pit in the afternoon and preaahsd a regu-
lar thorough going discourse, and most
appropriate to the occasion, from the
words "The righteous shall flourish like
the palm tree, &a." His comparisons be-
tween the palm and 110 Christian were
made very clear and the people who
listened could not fail to be encouraged.
Rev. F. J. Oaben'e discourse at the
overflow meetiae in the basement Bab.
bath morning was a very appropriate
one. Hie text was Ep. 2: 20.23. In
many inetanaee religion and worship
have been associated, if not identified,
with elaborate ceremonial and extensive
building. ''bis is eepeoially tree where
materialistic views of God obtain e. g., iu
heathendom and in the oathedralstndded
Europe. To oonoeive that God is a
Spirit, and to worship Him in spirit,
will insure pure worship uneffeoted by
the presence or absence of grandeur and
display e. g„ Abele' offering or the mod-
est tabernacle servioe, or the magnifloenoe
of the dedication of Solomon's Temple,
It is out of this oouneotion between tem•
pie and personal relation to God that the
thought of the text springs. This tem•
ple is nob one of marble but of living
atones.. (1) Ite Foundation. The
apostles and prophets, that is the whole
body of sacred Truth whioh contains a
revelation of God, the laws of the moral

progressive enfolding of the Redemptive
sobeme, the office and work of the holy
Spirit with Jeans Christ as the chief
corner stone. This body of Troth with
its admixture of the moat stuponduoue

foundation the adamantine qualities of
whioh the ages have served to reveal.
(2) The Building, The steno are indi•
vidualized as in Solomon's Temple eaoh

filled with love. The atones are fitly
framed together, a lesson in unity both
for the local phut°h and for the Christian
world. These will bring out the fell
beauty of the palace of the King. (8)

'DESCRIPTION OP NEW EDIFICE.
The building is neat, attractive and well
fluiehed, the basement being of stone and
the church white briok. It is 36 x 86
with a oonveuient parch in the front and
an alcove bebind the pulpit for choir pur-
poses. Ciroular seats of ash and metal
will afford every comfort to the worship
pers. Nine windows, ornamented with
beautiful colored glass, afford ample light
and the church is heated by an up•to•date
furnace. A rear stairway from school-
room permits of easy ingress or egress for
pastor and choir. There ie s pleasant
oast about all the appointmeuts whether
in the auditorium or the school room
beneath and those most interested appear
to be the beet pleased as was evident by
the bearty vote of thanks to Architect
Binning, and oontraotore Watson, Galla-
gher and S0audrett. The charch will be
one of the best testin000ials of bheir
capability as builders, &a. No more
desirable site oould have been chosen for
the looation than where it stands and we
hope the going up to the ahurob may be
as pleasant and profitable to the Presby-
terian
resbyterian congregation of Belgrave as it was
to the ancient worshippers who went up
to the temple of olden days. `,Pastor Hall
will, we have no doubt, demonstrate the
Truth more powerfully than ever now
that both he and the members and adher•
eats will find themselves in more com-
fortable surroundings. The Building
Committee deserve speoial thanks for
their servioee.
