| SO thou art come CUR guide our friend.
| To teach our steps the way:
To tell us of the wondrous love
That left royal crown,
| And from the realms Of JOY above
To tears and death came down.
And we will listen and rejoice,
As when in woodlands dreNr
! The lost lamb hears some plying voice
| And knows that help is near.
! And when We hear thy earnest prayer
| Our souls shall rise with thine
Forgetting all cur earthly care
In hope and faith divine.
Thus lead this flock, until We rest
! Where crystal waters flow,
| Where all the ransomed and the blest
| One Shepherds voice shall know.
! After which, the congregation was dismissed,
and Presbytery adjourned till the next regular
Fall meeting

teresting character, and though necessarily
protracted were listened to attentivey by u
large congregation 1t is hoped that this new
pastoral relation may result in great good to
] the church.

party will vote rs Il unit The Leagues are Us
actively at work to-day as they have ever
BEEN The election is but two weeks off. but
there is time to prepare for the cOntest-therc
is ample time to organize and to make suitable
nominations. 1t matters, comparatively: but
little how this is to be done. liza better sys-
ten than the old convention one Is desired -
adopt it--but by all means nominate and organ
ize We urge upon the Conservatives the
same degree of fealty to their party organlza-
ton that is constantly manifested by their Radl-
cal opponents And there arc circumstances
connected with the future welfare of our city
which make it doubly important that what Is
called Radical victory in our municipal at
fairs should be prevented. Again we ask, if
there are not many ofour citizens, Republicans
in their party opinions, who will unite in defeat
ing the efforts of some Of those whose designs
they see shown in the late Radical ward meet
ings, &c.
