Church at Egmondville on Sunday ev- ening to a very largo congregatioay, the church being filled to overflowing, The reverend gentleman • delivered most able and eloquent discourse. Mr. Grahame preached tba.o'ftrst sermon in this church something over 28 years ago, ai,di for nearly the vt+hole .of that titae he devoted his talents and ener- gies in the eervice of the congrega- tion which worshipped in it. Many changes have taken place during his incumbency, and the preaching of the last sermon in the old church would, we are sure;) call up ;in the mind's of not a, few who listened to it many pleasant as well as sorrowful recol- lections. At the conclusion Of his ser- mon, Mr. Graham recited the follow- ing very appropriate and affection- ate poem: Farewell, old temple, soon thy walls must fall, Which oft resounded to the Gospel call, Farewell old pews, farewell old pul- pit too, Thy "day is served, we yearn for some- thing new; And yet, when thou art gone and seem no more, Will souls be fed from better Gospel store? • God grant it may be so, and that to Heaven Many true doers of the word be giv- en. Thy forme old temple, may not please .the eye, Thy twisted 'steeple, pointing to the sky, May mar thy beauty in the critics' mind, Who find more grace in the M. E.'s behind; Thy cellar basement, too, with dark, damp floor, With these no longer car, we feel se- cure; And .to sum up, thy limit's too con- fined, To be -in keeping with the march of mind, Andyet with all thy quaintness, all thy ill, Old Church, "with all thy faults, we love thee still." There, froin that pew, the loving father's gone To join the ransomed songs around the throne; There, from that seat, the mother good and 'pure, Who laid her faith onChrist's founda- tion sure, On wings of love and with her soul elate, Has reached her home above, throngh';»early gate, Some to that font were brought in swaddling bound, Baptismal entrance to the Church thus found. There daughter; son, brother and: sis- ter too, Have "gone before," from that family pew; Have reached the "church not made with hands," above, ' Arid bask in bliss all through a Sav- iour's love. Yes, goad old temple, hallowed mem- ories will Wreath themselves round our hearts when thou art still; Some may remember their most earn- est, prayer That in Christ's sacrifice they, too, might sbare; " old • The best, protect on •,•:.>.>:.. f AGAINST 'DISEASED POTATO, CROPS/ PLANT Canadian Certified Seed Potatoes in clean Land— onpart of the farm where potatoes have not been grown before.
