well filled with worshippers yesterday.

xxii:S-My Son, God will provide himself
lamb for burnt-offering; and in the evening "a
full service was held, with sermon.
At St. Luke's Cathedral in the morning, a
large, congregation was in attendance, and the
service was particularly solemn and impress
sive. The altar was draped with black, and
the reading desk and pulpit were covered with
cloths of the same color. On the altar cloth
was embroidered the last words of Christ, sit is
finished" Rev. c. w. Hayes delivered fine
sermon, from PHILIPPIANS 2:5-"Let this mind
be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. -
In the evening Bishop Nicely preached an able

was taken from st. Pauls Epistle to the Ro-
mans, 18th chapter, 18th and a part of the 18th
verses, ''For would not, bretheren, that We
should not be ignorant of this mystery, Qest We
should be wise in your own conceits) that blind
ness in part is happened to Israel, until the
fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so a
Israel shall be saved" The church was well
filled, and the sermon was listened to with the
closest attention. sa-

by call from large number of his friends

Mr.. C. p. Kimball appeared to address his re-
marks to the host, and in graceful and infor
NAL manner he presented the Colonel with ar
elegant Jurgeusen watch and massive chain
the whole valued at over $500, as testimonial
of goodwill towards an energetic and public
spirited citizen. The ColOnePs eyes are moi
used to tears, but they did moisten q little al
this really unexpected token of friendship. He
said he couldn't do justice to the subject, but il
his friends would accept his hearty thanks fol-
the honor they had SO gracefully done him. and
break a cracker at his table he wonld be glad
and SO half an hour was passed pleasantly
with his charming family.

It's recognized principle n these days
OF multiplied knowledge that to reach any
great attainments, one must concentrate
his forces. This is eminently true of all
scientific research, and nowhere more
so ethan IN medicine, a science which
aims to understand and treat disorders
of the most complex organism in the
universe. Hence the greatest men of
our day have become specialists, both in
Europe and America the discoveries of
the nature of diseases and the great

have marked the progress of the present

of the cumulative force Of similar cases
