MELVILLE CHURCH ANNIVERSARY Splendid Sermons by Rev, Dr. McGilliv- ray, of Guelph. Tea Meeting- a success. Last Sabbath large and interested congregations filled Melville Church at the anniversary services. The pul- pit was occupied by Rev. Dr. McGil- livray, of Guelph, who preached two able sermons to the pleasure and pro- fit of the people. In the morning the reverend gentle- man chose the story of the alabaster box of ointment, the text being St. Matthew Chapter 26 and 8th verse, "To whitl? urP use Is Otte �" If Uta waste . f a modern ulterpretatiou were given to the theme it would be "Do it now." After reference to the farewell supper at Bethany and Mary's love -gift to her Lord the preacher spoke of the strange ideas marl had of waste and extrava- gance. such as is called for by the God of war, wrecking 0f manhood, luxury and theride of life,unused talents P etc. and urged all to be "hilarious" g is givers and enjoy be r t extravagance duce of ove. From Christ's viewpoint and estimate the gift was commended and He said "Let her alone, etc." He al- ways approves of the swiftness of sympathetic love. Don't postpone accts of kindness until too late but live out thanksgiving to parents and others and give recognition to merit, He gives twice who gives quickly. The stamp of immortality was put on Mary's bead by the Master. It did not look likely as Jesus died on the Gross that there ever would be a Gos- pel but on this Easter day we sing joyously and gratefully "Christ the Lord is risen to -day" and the perfume of the alabaster box has gone round the world, A good deed never dies, Itis immortalized and universalized. In conclusion the congregation was urged to put forth every effort to do deeds in the Master's name on account of His marvellous Love to us and to employ every talent in proving our fidelity. Choir, conducted by Mrs. Addie Wright, did their pact well. At the a. in. service they rendered an Easter anthem and Lorne Balmier, Lawson and Byron Wright and Stew- artrant G wing an appropriate e lute uar- tette. The visiting clergyman addressed an open session of the Sabbath School in the afternoon most appropriately. Evening discourse was based on the command given to the children of Israel Go Forward" and "Stan atilt , d and see the Salvation of the Lord. It was an optimistic and encouraging theme as to the ability of God to lead and guide and also to ther o rens that should be made bythe pp Chrtsturl Church and the present and future reward. The offerings for the day were good total- ling 8400 toward the Trust Fund. The supper Monday evening was a splendid one p and the spacious base- ment proved an ideal place for a crowd. Thereas w an abundant sup- ply of choice odbles and those In chargeothe tablesgave expert ser- vice. About 8 o'clock ek Rev AJ Mann B. A, took the chair 1 and the musical and literary arY program xam proceeded. Anthema, sextette quartettes and solo were well rendered by the choir. The address of Rev, De. McGillivray on The revised '" estimate of the cat gave opportunity of a pleasant rehear- sal of a trip taken by the lecturer through the Britieh Isles and the Onn- tinent and the various pointe of inte•- eet were linked up with the present war, The time passed quickly as the Ar. took the audience over historic ground. !le is, tie all Br{biehe's are 6 cc I , optimistic. es to the final outcome of the present litat ie struggle. Rev, Mr, Mareturned theuirs to Rev. Dr. SicGiilivray for his valued ser- vices iu connection will) the anniver- saey, also to the choir for their varied program and to the ladies for the A 1 supper. Proceeds of Monday evening were over 3150 which brought the Lolaalreceipts for the anniversary up to 3550, a very eaLildat'tm•y result and complimentary to the congregation. Dr, McGillivray is a big man both in and out of the pulpit, has a mellow pleasing voice and delivered his practi- cal messages with a direct aim. This Was his first visit to Brussels but the congregation hope it will not be the last. He complimented the people on their fine modern church and saw no difficulty in then rneeting their finan- cial engagements if everybody did - their best. THE LATE THOS. FARROW, ex -M. P.
