cHILDREN's MEETING.
Ats, P. NJ, chiIdren's meeting was
held at which near one thousand Of the
little ones were present Addresses
were made by Dr. Bowman, e. House,
and DR.. Eddy. AT tbs close of the SER
vices a card and cash collection was
taken, which, with the effort of the
morning in the chapel, amounted to
$500 The school, brother Iglehsrt told
us, has thus far given towards the erec-
ton of the Church $1,000, and at the
same time has neglected none of the
benevolent interests of the Church at
large.
EVENING SERVICES
The order observed was: I'D Hymn,

read by DR.. Bowman, and sung to Coro-
nation; prayer by Rev. ]. ]. Stallard I;
reading of Cor. iii, 9-23, by E. House !;
singing of the 964th Hymn,
"Great King Of glory" etc.
to Lennox; sermon by DR.. Bowman,
from the words, The glory of this lat
ter house shall be greater than of the
former. "-Maggai ii, Q. The Doctor
considered, l. In what the glory of the
former house consisted-1, In its archi-
lecture; 2, In its internal fixtures; 8,
In its associations. II. In what the lat.
ter house excelled the former-1, In the
personal appearing and ministry of
Christ; 2, In the ful6Ilment of all the
promises and prophecies; 3, In the com
pletion of all types, etc. A, In the mani
festation of God in the flesh. Ill. The
Gospel is a dispensstion more glo.
rious for reasons as follows l, Itl
| fundamental doctrines are greater; 2,
1t is richer in its enjoyments; 3 It is
greater in its privileges; 4 1t is more
numerous in its conversions; 5. tits wi
der in its influence. The Doctors IN.
folding of his propositions was very fe-
licitous and BY illustrations peculiarly
apt. His conception of the Shekinah
was novel to us. 1t was reflection,
he thought, somewhat similar to that
produced by the reflection of sunlight
upon wall by water. Go to a window
where the sun shines in strongly, and
hold basin of water in your hands,
shaking itgently at first, then somewhat
violently, and the tremulous movement
of the reflected light on the ceiling or
walls will furnish you my notion OF
the Shekinah.
The Doctors voice ia full, clear,
resonant, and his command of language
wonderful There was no tagging from
beginning to end. The Church has no
better minister. Following the discourse
came the dedicntory services proper,
and then another collection, naking the
aggregate of the day $4,000 It was
an hour of silent but deep, and in some
cases fearful joy, approaching to exulta-
ton. The temple had been reared and
furnished, and given to God, and with
not one dollar of debt against it; in
stead, a surplus of 81, 600 in the Tressur-
er's handsl

This collection, considering the time
the School had been thus classified, and
the objects selected, was indeed good

was never in more fourishing eondi-
tion. The teachers are interested and
energetic, aud the scholars, as a whole,
remarkably prompt, punctual and atten-
tive. The Mission School is also -four
ishing under the charge of Mr.. Charles
Kinks, as Superintendent, but was not
prominently represented in the above
services. The intention is, however, to
organi2s the School in the same manner
ms the regular school, and in the future
to unite them upon festival occasions.
The services for the day were largely
attended, and were unusually solemn
and impressive. About one hundred
communicates partook Of the Lords
Supper, and in the evening two adults
were baptised. The Easter collection in
the morning amounted to 1928 80 AND

An Interesting Baptism.

cold Christ Church" in Lancaster coun-
ty, Virginia, was recently during a conyo-
cation Of clergymen of the Northern Neck, J
the scene of a most interesting baptismal GER
emony, An observer on the occasion gives
the following description:
The ample shade Of the grand old walnut
trees was soon shared by an immense con-
course of people, and ere the hour arrived,
every seat and resting place, and nook was
filed. There was secret influence perya-
ding the minds of the multitude, saying in
the silence of their hearts, 'your.fathers for
generations past have worshipped within these
venerable and majestic walls. The services
of the day were very solemn.
The pure white old Italian marble font, of
three feet diameter, was to be used. Mark
S. Ashburne was baptised, and then he pre-
scented his little boy.
"Name this child, )" was pronounced by the
rector officiating
All was still in that large old church, as
the standing congregation had every eye riy-
eted on the fontal scene. But what death
like silence came over them when the father
answered for the child
ellis name is Jefferson Davisp'
The minister faltered as he slowly pro-
nounced that name Tears believed many
checks as they trickled down; hearts were
bleeding, battle fields, the buried dead, the
casemate and the prisoner-this was the
scene that came before our minds. - Norfah
