ON Sunday sermons were preached by the Roo. J.
Marsh, and collections were made, thee both morning and
evening prayer, on behalf of the Dorset County Hospital.
MILTON ABBAS.

DURING the two weeks pan ste•cial religions services
have been held in the Wesleyan chapel here. Ordained
and lay preachers have both preached. Prayer meetings
have also been bald each evening. The preacher for last
Tuesday took the parable of the nobleman going to Jenus
for the healing of his eon in John :iv. 48-50, and said
here MU first an object aimed at—the healing of his son:
and, secondly, the manwr it was brought etyma. On the
first point the speaker renipared the notions of the Cott
turion of Matthew viii., who said "Speak the word only,
with the netdeman, who naid "Come down ere my child
die." Unbelief and faith were both in the heart of the
nobleman as he went, but faith only on Ms return. Jesus
healed two with one corumand—viz., the sons body and
the nobleman's 'heart of unbelief." If the Nobleman had
not had Faith in Jesus to beat his son, his journey to
Galilee would not have been entered upon. In returning,
it was said, "the man believed and went hie way," and,
as he came home, "himself believed, and his whole
home." The beautiful simplicity of the parables of our
Lord were most excellent In their teaching, and the object
aimed at by Christians of Milton Abbot had • fine
