consequence was that that poor woman was taken out of

it is likewise true of places. We may say the same of
the place adverted to in our text.. It was but a Intl*
place, as we are told by Lot. 'ls it not a little one I"
And to the intercession of Lot, God said "See, I have
accepted thee in this thing also." Thus this oity,
though little, was great as it was honoured in this
particular manner. It was preserved for a refuge. And
here, if I might for • moment be allowed a digression, I
would remark how great is the value of intercalates
prayer. Hut thou some friend or relative, some eon or
daughter laden with guilt, going on in an evil way?
Restraints it may be have been used bat in ea*); advice
has been tendered. but yet no success. What then still
remains? With God all things are possible. It tall
remains for thee to pray at the throne of grace
to seek that blessing which has not yet been realised,
for with Him all things possib.e. And now I speak of
prayer, just suffer me to add I speak not of those who
do think of what they say, I speak of the oominunion
with the soul and God in heaven. And in such prayer,
whilst time lasts, there must be power in reality. Smolt
prayer may be likened to the arrow 'Mot from the well
-
strung bow. Faith is the hand that draws the
string, prayer ins the bow, God's promise is the arrow.
And, es I have spokien aoncerning nations and
individuals, I might Rho speak conothing boil,i-
logs. And I need scarcely add that I refer to this
building in which we are now met together this morn-
ing. This building I maintain to be both little and
great. It is small as regards its dimensions, but when
we look at it as set apart for the glory of God, we must
look upon it as being great in the eyes of the Lord. If
we would contrast it with other buildings, think of
those vast manniesturing and mining districts' where
the increase in churches has so lamentably failed to
overtake the increasing population, where thousands
and tens of thousand, still cannot say that they have
any minister to toasts them, or any seat in church.
Wile, we look at some of the pleasant plmes in England
as, for instance, the quiet retirement of such a parish
as this, Where, by the piety of our forefathers, church
acoonnitodairion hoe been provided and with the
churches, miniiters who are able to give advise to their
parishioners. both in spiritual and temporal matters.
It may be that this church awarding to the rule and
coin less of man is em• 11, yet my brethren iii. great in
the the eyes of the Lord. This perish and church is a
model of those which we should desire to me through-
out the land, and which could be, if only England
arose to a sense of her obligations. During the ravages
of time this old church fell into deft!, and this day we
are permitted to oelebraft an event which is of the
utmost imp rtauoe in this pariah, which might well
gladden all the hearts in the parish. For nine months
and upwards, the voice of prayer and praise in the
teeding and preaching of God's word hat been intent on
this spot, but the parish, favoured amongst the parishes
I di England, has not beet minting i 0 friends who have
WM prepared at once to raise Bps new building. The
parish being small, the main of the burden has indeed
fallen upon few who have not shrunk bear, but have
come forward nobly in the work, and hays raised up
this good, substantial and elegant building. We reret
to add that there is "till a debt of £lOO remainingon this
building, and when we consider how good and sub-
dentist it is, how correct in architecture' fully in keep-
ing with chaste simplicity of the Church of 'England.
I tru t the greater part of this deficiency will be made
up this day. This building is, I cousider, both little
and great. Jt is in the lowest sense of the word,
because though small, it is considerably greater than
the requinnuents of the parish. But in the higher
geese, it is large, for as Zoar was shared for the primate
of providing a tamp for Lot, this building, tho
dimensions einall, is in the eyed of God great

The musical portion of the service was conducted by
Dr. Forster. Some voice, from the Queen Carmel and
Yeceil choirs performed the vocal portion of the music
in a devotional and very creditable manner, the selection
of music being most appropriate fOr the occasion.

the congregation then proceeded to the capital barn, re
