Mills, Of the Baptist church.
The following hymn was then rendered
by the choir:
How firm foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word
What more can he say than to you he hath said
Who unto the Savior for refuge hath fed: -
"Fear not, am with thee, oh, be not dismayed
For am thy God, l will still give thee aid:
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to
stand,
Upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand.
'The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
[ will not, I will not desert to his foes
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to
shake,
I'll never-no, never-no, never forsake !"
After an appropriate prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Johnson, the following hymn was
sung:
Try US, God, and search the ground
OF every sinful heart;
What'er of sin in us is found,
On, bid it all depart
Help US to help each other, Lord,
Each others cross to bear;
Let each his friendly aid afford,
And feel his brothers care.
Help us to build each other up
Our heart and life improve
Increase our faith, confirm our hope,
And perfect us in love.
Up into thee, our living Head,
Let us in all things grow,
Till Thou has made us free indeed,
And spotIess here below.
Rev. James Gibson johnson, pastor Of
of the Congregational Church, who had
been invited to perform the service, pro-
oeeded to the delivery of an instructive
discourse, which commanded the strictest
attention of all his hearers, of which we
can present only a brief extract
REV. MR.. JOHNsON's DISCOURSE.
Text: 1st Kings, 2nd chap. 2nd verse.
"Be thou strong, and show myself man"
David had made a nation of number of
tribes. He was a Statesman as well as
King. He built up capital and erected
a temple. Whether what he had gained
son solomon, and he gave to him the in
junction, "Be thou strong, and show thy
self a man" He had chosen these words
for the foundation of his DISCOURSE be-
cause of their fitness for the occasion and
the audience, as embracing his theme
The elements of - true manhood"
FTrSt-Courage
Courage il the foundation on which a
genuine man is TO be built. There were
those who could jump or stand on dizzy
heights as an exhibition, or jump from an
| elevation into the water as an exploit, but
this was only daring it could not be digni-
fled with courage. A man may endanger
| his life and not be man of courage. Men
On the field of battle can be reused by
music and exhortati0n to bravery, but
| courage is q different quality parma
nent element which Is found in the cha
racter. Courage is serious, daring is fri
volous. Courage is that fundamental quail
! ity of character that makes men equal
to any emergency. A man cannot
! live long and be a good man with
out 1T. Inducements to wrong are on
every hand, and are often presented by
| friends, and it takes the highest type of
courage to resist. No man can walk
amidst these temptations without it. One
is often beaten down by these allurements
