murmuring' and fault-fincling tto-
day, said the speaker. Finding
fault, with the weather,'wi4h (the
crops, with the church, etc. It's
too hot or too cold, tee welthir
too dry. All 'thts is most (foolish,
and is eimply wasted energy. Af-
ter :all, there is more sunshine than
cloud, and more calm than storms,
and God's promises are.sure. When
tho chilfdren of Israel wore told to
"ego forward," theins was 'a zeal dif-
ficulty. But many -of ours ate anis
landed. We cross the• bridge -lie -
fore we come to ft. We are Gori;

may be many -obstacles arise in our
pathway, but I ask your co-opera-
tion, your sympathy and your
prayers, said, the speaker, and theta
by God's help and 10 his name (we
will "go forward." Mr. Cosene
thanked the people for (the very
cordial welcome given himself and
family, and leo eel for amort pros-
perous •term. He would not exert
'himself very moth to simply please
the peeple, but would do all in his
power in the name of Clod to (help
she people. Mr. Cosens paid 'a
warm 'tribute to the wosir of his
predecesso_, Rev. 'lar, Detvey, cue-
ing 'the four years juetf closed.
