REV. Mr.. CHANNIsG UPoS The LATE BAY-
TLE.-On Sunday morning, Rev. W. N. Chan
ming delivered an impressive discourse In the
SaHaie Chamber on the late battle 81 Frederioks-
" 10 Of
last week IN ministering 70 the wants Of the
wounded.
He comsaenced by stating that in life there
are 20 many incidents that, as the days roll by,
each succeeding period seems like a new era
and with him sEce the past Sunday it seemed
that he was in a new place. They all could
remember how, one week before, the neWs-
boys proclaimed on the streets that another hat
tie " as i'm progress, and the words of the dis
patch 1--WE have taken the first line Of the en-
tmys works, and tomorrow will witness the
bloodest struggle Of the war;" was still fresh
in their ears.
Since then he had seen SO much that it seemed
an age. He had, when he heard Of the battle
started at once 10 ne battle field 70 do bis dnty
as Christian IN company with party from
the sanitary commiss non. When ne looked over
the Deld from the lett, where Fran Kiln crossed
o the centre, where our gallant men rushed on
io The br' aStworks, and he viewed those strong
Cartbworks, before them long rowe of nahed
corpses, for onr men We're stripped Sfter being
slGin,) the sight was sublime with the spirit of
seif-sacrifiCe. Long trains OF ambulanc Gas were
bringing The wounded from the field but lot a
gToan was heard.
The day was beautiful, and contrssted luv
with the scenes aronnd hun; and the ouretioI
arose in his mind invoiuntarily, What doe. A.

subliInity OF humanity and DDS power There
is an alliance Of human hearts which knft in
sympathy slain and living. These Sscra6rNs
are working out the salvation of a race God
lie working ont higher benefits for humanity.
On looking over the field and its surround-
ings he doubped whether such courage and he
