Church of God' wash the saints'
feet. The ceremony is thus described;
The pastor, after a few preliminary remarks,
announced that they would now proceed, in.
accordance with the ordinance, to wash the
saints' feet, and requested the congregation
to sing some familiar hymn, while those
who were to thue give • testimony to their
faith Came forward. Twelve or fifteen per-
sons of both sexes rose and went forward,
the women taking seats before the altar on
one side, while the men tookeetaitiLopnwtihthe
other. Two or three women
basins in their lamas, come forward, while
a like number of men on the other sale did
the same thing, aud taking .0t1 the shoes of
those before them, proceeded to gently wash
their feet, women cloing this service for the
woreen and mon for the men. The minis-
ter then related the authority from which
this ceremony was derived, and exhorted'
the saints' to strive to walk, in the path of
Hien who set tho example to them. As soon
as the washing was completee the feet were
dried with ordinary coarse towels, the
stooldngs and shoes replaced, and in the
• midst of another hymn, the eamts took
their seats. Afterward the sacrament o
the Lord's supper was administered.

- TREE VALUE OP 8111.A.DE
' An important Legal Dicision.
An action of an miasma character has.,
been „pending for "sometime before the.
Ontario Court of Common Pleats. The
claim made is for damages alleged to have
been sustained by the plaintiff, in conse-
quence of the defendant having destroyed
shade trees on the highway adjticeut to the
plaintifNi property ; the conteading
that 'the existence of such trOes was bath
an Ornament and an aotual benefit to elle.
property. It appears that, by a Provincial
statute for the protection of shade trees,.
any me destroying them is subject to a,
fine for So doing, on complaint being Made
before a justice of the peace. ' (Fifty years
ago the penalty for thia crime -for criine
it then was -was death). It, was contended
on behalf of the defence that the only , •
redress -plaintiff had was -to proceed under
this statute. The jury before whom the
case Was tried awarded the plaintiff 8150
damages. The defendant moved against .
this finding, but without success; the full
courteniving eelivered judgment in plaintilre
favor. The :mart holds that, notwitla '
standing the redress which is given by the
statute, the owner of adjacent hennas a •
right to bring an ordinary action to recoup
himself far losses. eustained by hirn ih con- •
