LITE ATTENDANCE AT PUBLIC TVORSHLP
A want OF punctual attention to the hour OF COM
mencing divine service is fault but too prevalent
in worshipping assemblies. worthy clergyman
whose congregation had given him much yexatiou
in this respect, began his discourse one Sunday in
these terms: " When came here to begin to wor-
snip last Sabbath morning, believe there we're not
twenty people in the Chapel; at the weekly lecture
lit was the same; and again this morning: my heart
lis panied. What can you mean by this conduct:
Do you mean to worship God? Then must tell
|you plainly and with the authority of a Christian
minister, that this is worship: deceive not your
tse!ves; God will not accept it at your hands, lie
proceeded to enforce this point with great earnest
ness and feeling, and produced such an impression
on the minds of the hearers that Sabbath al
most every person had assembled by the time he
descended the pulpit.
A very common cause of late attendance, espe,
cially with the fair sex, is the time employed in
dressing. Herbert has lines so applicable
to this sort of apology, that every lady would do vel
have them written in letters Of gold, and suspen
ded her toilet, that they might be present
| to her eyes.

THOMAS HATTON, the inventor of Steam
Engine upon a plan capable OF producing rotary
motion without the assistance Of duplicated machi-
merry, respectfully informs the public that model
o his invention will be exhibited at the Merchants
Coffee House for one week daily, commencing on
Thursday, the I'd OF January, 1925. The Inventor
halteis himself that his improvement will be found
upon examination worthy of the time and labour
winch II has cost him to bring il to the degree Of
perfection which he has been able to attain.
The Migratory or recprocallng notion insepara-
BILE from the present modes OF applying steam power
has long been considered an irremedlaole defect IN
the use oil this invaluable agent. This defect the
Inventor conceives himself to have eHectualiy re-
moved, and he is happy in being able to state that
several gentlemen OF science have expressed their
entire coincidence with him in this opinion.
The Machine now offered to the inspection Of
the public unites the advantages of simplicity and
economy with great diminution OF weight and room
for operation compared with the steam engine al
present in pse, ""r0'''
