Most surcessful end pleasing were the services at Holy
Trinity Church on Tuesdey last, on the occation of the

sto_ps are rood effective.
Me services on both nonagons were full choral, end the
ciluVr vs, Weill, augmented. The afternoon earviek
opened with the hymn "0 Saviour, precious Siirloor, •
(Hymns Ancient and Modern). The Bor. W. S. &utile.

the player, that It might enter into even the interpretation
of the hymn tune, if that tone woo to eleme those high
and beautiful spiritual sentiments abide they had sung
that afternoon. It mast also express the feelings of the
writer. who bad lest himself to them foe • time. If they
would w.inkip God inspirit end in truth they most speak
the mind of D.vici when they sang the xcv. Psalm, the
mind of the mei' her °fleeing whes they sang the blegniflost,
tns mind of Zeolutriati ea they sang hi. song, and the
mind of Siinson as they followed him in the last days of
his existence, when he looked for that peace which be
desired. They must speak the minds of those who had
written Giese sacred songs or it would he out of place. He
prayed G blessing to rest upon thine in the parish who

to feel the true 'petit of praise, sad they might one

acknowledgment of wants satisfied, sad haterneselost was
&eking for the supply of other people's want; but maim
was simply the ascribing of glory to God for what He was
I. himself. There was no greater or mare powerful ann.

those parts of our service which had particularly to do

church. It was greatly to be hoped that with the improve-
ment in church music which • mimed organ could am:ply

increase In the true spirit of prsiee,ane a nearer approach

who wore redeemed from the earth.
