very large in numbers, still they staid and re-

Immediately preceding the sermon the nineteth
hymn was sung. commencing as foows-
There is a fountain filed with blood
Drawn from Emanuels veins.
Rev. DR.. Mcleod then advanced to the reading
desk and proceeded 10 deliver his sermon. He took
his text from Samuel--"Thy genteness hath made
me great" He said that these words might be found
in the biography OF the Royal David, the songster
and shepherd OF Israel. In the day when the Lord
delivered hlm from all his enemies he spake ,the
words OF that song to the Lord and told brief though
real story-''Thy gentlenesS hath made me great.u
And now this world looked back to the pastured
lands OF Bethlehem-to the fight between the lamb
and the lon-to the holy struggles Of the past-to It's

when David came TO consider his own life he did not
attribute his greatness 60 himself but to the gentle
ness of the Lord, which made him what he was.
Abraham said, ''The Lord is my shield" Moses
uttered similar words when he taught the Israeites
that God was the rock OF their salvation. Was there
human story equal to the sublime one as to the
lives and characters OF those noble martyrs OF the

and even OF the multitude, who would not come for
ward with an immediate answer, and one and all
would exclaim "WOrthy is the Lamb Thy gentle
ness makes US what we are." The preacher then
went on in an eloquent and forcible manner to de-
scribe the JOY and happiness OF the lust who bowed
before the heavenly throne. and closed with beauti
