Clh Notes
United Church
Lest Sahhath, Inev. A. 1I. Brown,
of \Val ton, neoupied 1 he pulpit of the
United Church, Iu the 1.1.1uit.g, lie
preached from the text, "Toilet in the
Lord and do good; 80 shalt tltall.
dwell in the land, and veaily thou
shalt be fed," Peeler 37 : 8. A. splend-
id offer for a ouceeseful life, if the
conditions ere complied with. Thine
are evidences of trust in all the un.
iverse, in the natural, 0,lr•ial and cont,
mercial life. The spirit of (roost forms
a part of our being, We should trust
iu the Lord for salvation, fur daily
mercies, for the future and for hie up-
lifting and sustaining power, until
we finally reach our home in Heaven.
In the evening, Rev. Mr. Brown
preached a very interesting and help-
ful sermon from tea. 53 : 5. In the
absence of the pastor, Mr. Blown
will preach again nextSabbate, morn-
ing and evening.
Melville Church
The regular meeting of the Wom-
en's Missionary Society of Melville
church was held last Friday after-
noon. Mre. Strachan presided and
was assisted in the opening exercises
by Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Cardiff.
A very interesting paper frim the
study, "Moslem Women," was given
byMrs. A. H. Macdonald while e
rview of Missions was takene th up by
Mrs. R, Thomson and Mrs, C. M.
Wilmot. Miss Jardine gave a very
instructive talk nn "The League of
Nations." A Life Membership Certi-
ficate, the gift of Miss Kate Deadman,
was presented to Mrs. Fowler. The
meeting was closed by Mrs. Olouse
leading in prayer.
Ecclesiastes 11:4, "He that obser-
vetb the wind shell not sow and be
that regardeth the clouds shall not
reap," and II Oorinthiutis 6:2, "Now
is the accepted time ; now is the day
of Salvation," were the verses from
which the pastil' spoke in Melville
church last Sabbath morning. Many
make the mistake of waiting for per-
fect conditinns before attempting
• anything and in the end acccmplieh
nothing. We make this mistake
along many lines. In the matter of
health ; in the matter of reform of
any kind -the great reformers have
not waited for more perfect nnndi-
I ditions to begin but have considered
now the accepted time. In regard to
church attendance people stake the
excuse that when ennditious ora tight
they will attend church, when the
right thing to do is to attend now.
The text also applies to the greatest
decision of life -decision for Ohnlet.
Conditions will never be better for
deciding for Christ and 110W is the
abaepted time. "What is the
chief end of than ? plan's chief end is
to glorify God and enjoy Him for-
ever," and John 17:14, ' I have glcni-
tied thee on the earth ; I have finished
the work thou gayest me to do, "here
dealt with by the pastor at the even-
ing service. The men who drew up
the. Westminster Confession of Faith
no doubt had Christ's prayer in mind
when they gave the answer to this
question. What does it mean to
glorify Gnd 1 to worship and may to
(god ; to have a higher conception of
God than of ourselves and to live as
Christ would have ns live. To regard
the snaking of moneyor the fulfill -
orient of desire as the highest alta in
life is not to glorify God. The great
men of all time have put the glory of
(God ahead of everything else. Ev-
erybody is capable of glorifying God
and should make this their chief aim
in life. At the running service
Arehie Ballantyne sang "If I but lift
• [nine eyes," and at: the evening sere
vire Miss Nora elc Dowell sang
"'Teach us to Pray."
