The following is taken from the Strat-
ford Beacon of Nov, 23rd and the Rev.
Cameron referred to was a former Cran•
brook boy :—The Presbyterian church at
Hampstead was re -opened Sunday. The
congregation have now a very neat, mom•
for6able and commodious enroll edifice.
The outside presents a very good appear-
ance after being veneered, and the audi-
ence room i0 neat, cosy and very mom•
Portable. The ceiling is 'molted and
boarded and varnished, and looks beaubi•
fol. Thesides are replestered. Itis
furnished with new eeatiug throughout.
The platform is re -carpeted and furnish•.
ed with a very neat pulpit and three ole -
gent, upholstered chair. The morning
was a little threatening, but gradually
brightened until the day became lovely,
and by the titne for beginning the morn•
lug service the capacity of the ohuroh
was pretty well taxed, and had it not
been for the unpropitious state of the
roads many more would have assembled
with the congregation to celebrate their
mharml1 opening. After the preliminary
exeroisee, coodncted by Rev. Mr. Camer-
on, the esteemed pastor of the oburoh,
Rev. Mr. Grant, of 8t. Marys, announced
his text from St. Matt, 17 4, 'It is good
for us to be here," delivering an excellent
and eonl.etirring sermon on the privileges
and opportunities the oburoh enjoys in
the means of grace, and also their
a000nntability and reeponeibiliby to the
world at largo. It would bo simply im.
possible to do justice to it by any oom•
meat that might be made on f6. By
many it world be considered a favor if 16
were given to the local peace for the bene•
fit of the public. In the evening the
church was again orowded to the door,
when Mr. Grunt preached to an appreoi-
ativo audience, ,basing hie remarks on
Mark I.7, The 'sermon being of an
evangelietio nature, wag lietened to

may be able atno distant day to Como

liver two such powerful sermons. The
oommit6ee of .management thought it
wise, under the unfavorable state of the
roads, to dispense with the old•time tea -
meeting, and substitute it by a lecture,
and, having such an able and eloquent
