of the temple of olden time. If, in the present day,
with the thousands of mercies, and evidences of Gat's
goodnese surrounding us, we forgot the songs of Gel,
how much woes should we be than God's people in
tip. adder ages. The Christian'o eoag should woe to
loftier. In the homes of the poor the song of God', praise
wee often more common than in the names of the rich,
but those who were apt to forget God's praises 'boon
remember that thee* is • land where Ilia soilp will be

made at the close, an i we under.tand that the romsin-
iug deist on toe organ, viz. £2O, wee ociusid-rably
reiluoeti by the result of it.—The vestry has been
• enlarged considerably under the able hands of Masora
T. and F. Patten, builder., East-street. Although
' this alteration was not absolutely necessary for the
erection of the new instrument, yet it was deemed
v. 11, liable for the provision of efficient vestry acoom-
madation which was prehensile very limited. We
arejelad to be able to state that the c et of enlarging
' the ~retry will not be a strain upon the organ fund, as
• tbe,cest ban been generously defrayed by a liberal
,Inm_teer of the congregation We hags had the
Peasure-d listening to the dulcet note. of the Tian,
and judging bow Its excellent tone, it is admirably
adapted to the requireme de of the church. Mr.
'Thomas Thorne will, as before, act as organist.
