GORRIE UNITED CHURCH
Good congregations• attended the
services of the United Church last
Sunday. The pastor 'addressed the
congregation on the •subject of the
"Double Cure," The story of the
miracle perforined on the lame man
who sat at the gate Beautiful was re-
cited. This poor beggar was desir-
ousof accepting alms of the people
as they went into the temple but was
surprised by being healed 'by "the
• Apostle Peter, ,In spite of a deplet-
ed:bank account and empty pockets,
Peter gave the impotent ,, man cern-
plete 'recovery to health.- you will
notice of course that this act Of grace
was done by, Peter and John ,when
the hour had struck for the prayer
service in the temple. Prayers from
a Sincere soul may bring abundantly
more than one at first inight conceive.
We frequently sing "Rock of Ages, be,
'of sin the double cure, Save froin wra-
th and make me pure." How came
the double cure to this Man at the
gate of the temple? To Pefer this
humble beggar was not a nuisance;' a
pest, or a parasite, but rather an op-
portunity to give What he had. This'
• apostle could do nothing /bigger or
• -better than to simply do what he
• con1c1 ,for him. In spite of all diffi-
, culties and weaknesses, we can give.
Every man can be a ,giver if he so de-
sires. 'Peter. gave this man the right
hand of fellowship—"he lifted him
up.", that is fine. The healing pow-
er came through human agency,—
"Such as I have, give I thee, in the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
rise and walk." This is the first cure.
but the double cure comes when you
see this poor fellow who •had never
• walked before in his ;life, "walking,
leaping and Praising ,:i God." Have
we..thcught of this double cure? Hav-
ing the healing of °the soul by our
I:ord, being saved from the wrath
which is to come, area again reedy-
• .iig what may be termed second
• blessing ,by a full surrender to the
work of the Kingdom of God in other
• words being pure -and undefiled.'
• Both these experiences are obtained
• by prayer and the power of the cross.
• • The choir sang "The Glory of the
• Cross." '
The pastor's theme for the evening
service was taken from St. Mark 1:4o
• the subject being. "Thy Touch has
Still its Ancient Power." The clean-
sing of the leper was a spentaneous
act of love. He no longer doubted
love; 'no, longer thought love dead.
This forsaken, suffering, bruised and
broken Irian with the loa.thesome dis-
• ease at last feels the touch of love
:upon, his shoulder. The 'leper had
not to go mourning for days, and
-weeks and months. He was cleansed
on the spot, Thank Ged for the
power of one who can immediately
loose us fromour sins. Will you let
Him speak in the language of the
cross to your heart? A very appro-
priate selection - was gjven by the
choir. "There is One Who is MY
Sbeplierd, iny'Priend and Guide."
The Church with a welcome invites
you to the services next Sunday Pas
tor will preach:, •

A scriptive title/of Victoria, B.C. Why seek south-
,
ern climes when such attractions He so close at hand?
• Clear skies, bracing sea air, green lawns and
spring blossoms, may all be found there, in mid Janu-
ary. Leaving the prairie grain fields, where next
spring's wheat nestles warm beneath a thick blanket
• of snow, crossing the mountains whose passes are
topped by snow buried peaks, here spring in all its
wealth of verdure greets the traveller. There is a
charm about Victoria harbour, not shared by many.
For where landing places generally are unsightly, and
a distance from the beauties of the city, the docks of
• Victoria are a part of its attractions. Very"fine is
the approach. The short way to the stately old
Empress hotel is like the carriage drive to an English
castle. On the right are the green lawns fronting
Parliament buildings, perhaps the finest in Canada.
The rose garden that breaks the even green sward, is
even now giving a good account of itself, for numer-
ous rosebuds reveal a pale beauty as if not quite sure
• whether to burst at once into blossom.
A glimpse of nihny Victoria gardens at this sea -
'raking a dip in the Sea Water Pool at the Crystal Garde,ta.
son, reveals more daring flowers. The yellow jasmine
is covered with bloom, violas stand out boldly in sunny
nooks, hyacinths and daffodils are heavy with buds,
while nasturtium seeds have dared to germinate and
put out leaves.as if in challenge to the Frost King.
A new and fascinating feature of the capital city
is the Crystal gardens. Situated just beyond the
Empress hotel, they leave nothing to be desired in
the way of winter attractions. The glass roof covers
a swimming pool one hundred and fifty feet in length
with a graduated depth from three to ten feet. The
pool fills and drains constantly, sea water e being
pumped in and kept at an agreeable temperature.
From the pool, rise tiers of seats on either side; and
at the ends, on the main floor, are fine dance halls.
Along the sides, tea tables with wicker chairs placed
at tempting angles, afford agreeable resting places.
H re and there huge ferns and palms lend a tropical
air, while smaller plants border the walls. Climbing
vines grow in great profusion about the steel pillars
supporting the roof. Developing rapidly in the warm
