Here, where oil chimes their offerings send,
Here, where all arts their tribute lay,
Before thy presence, Lord we bend

And all that human skill has pann'd.

hymn was executed by the ladies and gentle
men of the Sacred Harmonic Society, and ad-
mirably did they execute their task Mr. Geo
Bristow was the conductor of the body. Mr..
Timm, however, was the chief director of all

op Wainwright was part of the dedicatory
ceremonials, which forgot to mention in its
proper place. This was beautiful as a piece of
literary composition, but it was too long, and
it was besides, cut and dried for tho occasion.
Written sermons are bad enough, but from
prayers, my sincere prayer, without meaning
to condemn the tastes of others, is that may
ever be delivered.
