This, said the preacher, should be the attitude of God's people today. They should recognize with gratitude and thanks- giving 'G'od's goodness in the past but it was with an eye to the future that they should 'plan and build. Re- cognizing everything of worth and blessing that the past had to offey, they must not forget that according to' God's word, and for 'God's people, the "Golden Age" lies in the future, During the course of his seroson, the preacher made a'seething attack upon the liquor .traffic' and its ,brazen at- tempt to 'fasten its clutches once again upon the citizens of this prov- ince. > At the evening service Dr,. MdGregor chose as his text'.' Genes' 3:5, "Arise, go up to Bethel." He pictured the life of Jacolb from the time he left his father's home as:a fugitive .from his brother's wrath,— until rath—until this day. When his persistent disnegard of 'God's 'goodness and leading had brought a fearful and ir- reparable calamni'ty upon his 'fmily. Even then if only he was wilting to go back to the place where he had vowed allegiance to God, and renew his vows, God had great things in store for him. Pointing out how that it was the yielding to fleshly ap- petites and the desire for material gain that bad e'aused Jacob's de'fec- tion from God. Dr. McGregor once again Made a slashing attack upon an insulting form of bribery 'th'at would offer the fathers and mothers of this province good roads, and re- duction's in taxes and motor •1i- censes,if only they would vote to subject their sons and daughters to the temptations and evil influences of the'orgenized liquor traffic- Then turning from indignant and vehement attack, he pleaded with fervour and pathos for a return to those •places where in other days they had. kept tryst with God. Altogether it was a great and heart -stirring message end one that. should 14ve long in the memories of those who heard it. While the church was filled in the morning, it was 'filled to overflowing in the evening, almost every avail- able foot of space being o`ecupied, and a goodly number of the stairs and in the. vestibule. Under the excellent leadership of Mrs. Ben, Johnson, the choir rendered 'splendid service, their anthems being most appropriate and exceedingly well rendered.

At the morn- ing service, D'r. McGregor spoke from the text 'found in Haggai 2:9, "The glory of this latter house ;shall. be greater than of the former," saith the Lord of Hosts. He pictured with what high hopes, the exiles had re- turned to Judah and ,Jeru'salem, and how rudely those 'hopes were shat- tered by the scene of desolation that met their eyes, At first they were utterly disheartened, and had it not been fpr the encouragement of the prophets like Haggai, in their midst, attended, "Rev.
