idling of the church and also financial'
aid from Presbyterian congregaatirsnls
in the -su.rrounding towns. The total

ed at the Sunday service:; was $325,
The call to worship was given by Rev.

vocation by G. A. Peddle, the student
nminister. A ladies quartet from Sea -
forth sang. Dedicatory prayer was
offered by Rev. Aft. Dougan and dur-
ing elle offertory Mrs._ Ferguson play-
ed a voluntary. The special preacher
at this Occasion was Rev. William
'McIntosh of Hamilton Road Presby-
terian Church, London, who took for
his text, Isaiah 4'2:2-4: 'He s'hal'l not
cry, nor lift tip, nor cause his voice to
be :heard in the street." "To whom
does this text make re'feren'ce?" asked
the speaker. "This is a question which
is widely discussed by scholars to-
day. For us there is no dou'bt. We
are sa'tisified that our Lord Jesus has
fulfilled in every res'peci the hill -Aka -
:ion of this text. The Hebrew people
expected the Messiah to come with
great pomp and splendor, proclaiming
to allthe world His great majesty.
Jesus did not come in this way, Had
the Hebrews looked back to the pas-
sage from which tete text is taken they
wlau'ld there have read of One who
did not cry out at the top of His
vtdice, nor shout boastfully of His
power in the streets, they would have
read of One who came quietly and
humbly. Sometimes the reed was used
as a walking stick. We see a shepherd
walking up the 'hillside leaning upon

the reed• is bruised,' and as he leans
heavily upon it, it breaks under th,e
strain. It is now gond for'uothing but
to be broken into further pieces and
cast down the hillside. Too often it
is thus in the Christian Church, some-
one, hitherto respectable, makes a
mistake in life and is cash out of the
church in disgrace. 'This is not the
spirit of Jesus who does not break the
bruised reed as we can see in his deal-
ing with her who made -a mistake:' in
life., Often will come into- our
presence in the church one Who is
like the smoking fax of the old He-
brew lamp, just a faint glimmer of
light is burning in his heart, just a
faint longing for a knowledge of the
truth. If we receive such a one cold-
ly as nntuc,h as to say he ought not to
confine among us we are quenching the
smoking flax and the spirit of Jesus
is not in us. We see in the early Chris-
tian Church a little group of discip'le's
who went out with tete Gospel nes-
sage to change the world. Practically
the whole world was again's't those
fele disciples as they set out upon
wheat seethed a hopeless task, Their
message was that of the Cross, word
vrhicln in those days for the pagan
world meant nothing but shame and
disgrace. Yet •the disciples preached
their message, they preached of One
Who would not fail nor be discour-
aged tihl He had set judgment in the
earth.' :Many times in history has
England's morality sunk to a very low
level, but God raised up \Whitefield
and the \Vesleys to save England for
Christ. That is the Gospel, the cause
of Jesus shall not fail until all nations
and all people shall own Hian King of
Kings and Lord of 'Lords."
At the evening service the call to
'worship was given by Rev. William
Barclay, M.A., of Central. Presbyterian
Church, Hamilton, who was the spe-
cial speaker. The same order of ser -
vire was followed as in the morning.
Following the Scripture reading by
G. A. Peddle, 'Wafter Cutbush of Ex-
eter sang. After the offertory, Mrs.
W. F. Buchanan' of Dunneille, sang
"The Stranger of Gwalilee" Rey. Wm,
Barclay then delivered a splendid ser-
mon, taking for his text, St, 'Matthew,
6:9, "Hallowed be Thy Name," Names
today have lost most of their signifi-
cance. In older days a p•eoson's name
was a reflection of his character. We
forget today that Margaret means 'a
pearl' and we give the name Thomas
to one who is not 'a twin', The an-
ci'ent Hebrews placed great imp'or
tance upon a person's name. Jacob
was the 'supplanter,' but after he had
wrestled with God and his character
had changed he was no longer called
'the deceitful one,' but was called Is-
rael, a 'prince of God.' So it was with
all Hebrew children, their character
found expression in their names. So
too it was with the name of God fee-
the
c rthe Hebrews. When God spoke to
Moses out of the burning bush and
Moses asked God whet was hist name,
God gave Moses the' Hebrew word
which means 'I am.'. I1 is only when
we remember that the name of God
implied the character and all that Gad
Himself really was, that we can un-
derstand what we mean when we say
'Hallowed be Thy Name.' 'We are not
to suppose, however, that anything
man says or does can in any way
make more hallowed the name or
character of God. God is perfect in
holiness. His character and nothing
we can say can add to that :Perfection..
Nor can we by our words or deeds
detract from the perfection of God's
character. The blasphein er who gives
God three minutes to strike him dead
does not peo•ve that there is no God,
he simply reveals his own ignorance
of the true ch'aract'er of God. In the
same way nothing which we say or
do canin' any way injure the charac-
ter of agoocl man. . If a man in our
town he, a man of honor no'lbing
ihich we say against him, however
False, can stake him any less a man'
of honor. What then is me'an't 1by
saying, 'hallowed.be the name of God'?
Although we cannot add to or take
away from a man's character yet we
can so speak of him as to increase our
own respect and the respect of others.
for him. So too, we can speak of
God's character in sects a manner as
to increase the respect and reverence
for God in our own hie'arts and in, the
hearts of others. Far too much im-
portance is sometimes placed upon
the sertno* iti our denomination to-
day, and ifot enough upon the service
of prayer and praise. This exalted idea;
of the importance of the sermon hes
tome down to us because of the fact
that our forefathers, without news-
papers and .hocks which are avai1ia'ble
to us, found in the sermon something
ebbnst which to talk in the days of
the week. Had I not come this even-
ing at all you cou'l'd still have 'been
brought close to God and received
much blessing if you had, in 'tele true
spirit Of worship, engaged in prayer
