R. W, Collins, of Toronto, conducted the serviees in Melville Church last Sabbath, taking as his morning text, Cor. 13;13 "And now abideth Faith, Hope and Love, but the greatest of these is Love," (1). Fi7�th. Every man bas faith. What we %need is not so much more faith but that our faith be directed in the right direction towards Jesus Christ. (2). Hope. All men bavo hope, but the greatest is that which amidst trials gives us hope for the life to come, (I), Love. Love is the great- est Christian grace because it will last and because it is most like unto God who is love. At the evening ser- yice Mr. Collins' subject was "The Legacy which Christ has bequeathed to His believeing people," St. John, 14:27. "Peace, I leave with you, My peace I giye unto you." Christ has not left riches to His people, but Peace. A Peace (1) that is condi- tioned upon belonging to Jesus. (2) that gives peace in sorrow and troub- le, and not peace from sorrow and trouble. (8) that gives peace in per- secution and not peace from persecu- tion. (4) that gives reconciliation to God.
