A sermon was preached on Tuesday evening
in St. Marks church in this city, by Bishop
Nealley, appropriate to the exhibition and ex
animation exercises Of St. Catharine's Hall.
The sermon was addressed to the young ladies
of the school who were present and occupied
seats in the body of the church. The Bishops
text was in the tenth chapter Of Lukes Cos
pei, at the seth verse "And she had a sister
called Mary which also sat at Jesus feet, and
heard his word" He said that it was true of
Christ that he was a man of sorrows, with no
place which he could call his home. But in
the latter part of his ministry there was at
least one household where he was always well
and glowing for Him. The charactenstics Of
the members of the household were brought
out. Martha, the head of the household, is
frequently described as worldly minded per-
son. She was not so. Jesus loved her and
she received Him into her house. She was
the first to go out to meet Him when the
household was in distress. Her words on that
occasion did not exhibit selfishness. But
while Martha served, Mary sat at Jesus feet.
Martha was careful to serve Jesus. Both were
honoring the guest. There is another side of
religion as distinguished from the active side.
We may not only serve Jesus by active works,
but also by drinking in his words. The Bishop
affectionatey impressed the thought upon the
young ladies before him that they must sit at
the feet of Jesus if they would truly learn of
Him. This school has been established as
Christian school, where the pupil shall sit at
the feet of Jesus. We should never forget
that He is the Eternal Word through which
all knowledge comes. While from this source
comes all knowledge, there are certain things
to be learned directly from Him. He is the
"Word, the Truth and the Life" the only
Savior from eternal and hopeless misery. He
is the renovator Of our nstarej 10 alone capa-
BILE Of bestowing happiness; the Reconciler
who gives peace; the Great Physician to heal
our spiritual infrmities; the Good Shepherd,
who gathers the lambs into His bosom and
sweetly leads them into green pastures and
beside still waters. These are the lessons to
be drank in while sitting at the feet of Jesus.
We learn, too, that He is our only pure Elk.
emplar, taught not only by his words but by
his life. We learn the value Of self sacrifice,
that happiness il. gained by forgetting and de-
nying self. We are led through the vale of
Humility to seek the good Of others, We
learn the lesson of meekness aud gentleness,

Fractional overiay, 2 u - - $s,o74 .46
Power is granted the Assessors to add not
exceeding five per cent. to the amount raised.
Last year the per cent. Of tax was twenty
mills and nine-tenths of mill. We
have gained in valuation since last year about
S34 900, but will fall short of the valuation
put upon the city by the Commissioners, to
the amount of 100000. Notwithstanding
this unjust valuation to which the city was
doomed after fair one had been re-
turned by the proper authorities, we are still
in the percentage of our tax far below that of
many other towns and cities. The Assessors
have labored assiduonsly, and although dis
charging an extremely delicate duty, we think
that the result of their labors will be salts
factory to the tax-paying community. The
tax is certainly lighter than we have ha1 rea-
son to expect.
