Church on Sunday; 'Oareful preparation has beefi made and 'invitations•
tended tonearly 100 past members who had left the parish, A short history of
the Churoh was published and a copy sent with the invitation to each member,

held at:Harpurney by. Rev, W; Oresewell who prepared the way for ,the. future

took the services;were Rev. James•Carmiohael, of Clinton, afterwards Bishop of
Montreal and Rev, T, C. Des Barres who held cervices in theCarinichael Hotel

The services ou Sunday were narked with brightuttts and -fervor and were.
largely attended. The Bishop cf Huron was the preacher both morning and
evening. His Lordeltip.lit the morning took Worship as his theme using Hob.
x 28 as u text, lit clear, earnest words he pointed out the necessity of assem-
bling ;together, He said there ryas no comniaed in the Bible to go to Church
but wotship•was an innate part of math's nature and 'nuiversal—it was taken
for granted. Mau goes to Churoh to meet God and prepare himself to live
with God, 1f a man finds no pleasure in meeting God here he will not find
comfort in meeting God hereafter. The speaker thought.Ohuroh Union would
come in the future, but, it would coma by including the gond qualities of all
denominations, To exclude would mesa a milk and water religion—a very
poor thing, The Anglican Church stood for certain thiols and 'truths as no
other. Church did.. Among those, were mentioned the praj ere at every service
for the State, resulting in the large number of Anglicans who enlisted. again
it stood for the faith as shown by the•use of the creed, In the came way the
practical life was shown in the recitation of the Ten Commandments in the
daily aervice•of the Church. In all these ways the Anglican Churoh made its.

however is unchangeable and will never peas away,
