NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.-Rev. Richard
Ward of Cambridge, Mass, preached Sunday
morning from Judges iv. 14-the battle of
Barak and Sisera. The fifth chapter Of Judges
| contains the song of Deborah and Barak This
song was of divine composition, and has been
puzzle to all generations. 1t was song of
thanksgiving for deliverance from twenty years
captivity to the Canaanites, and spiritually is
the song Of thanksgiving which we should
sing in praise to cur great Captain who has
delivered US from the powers of evil who
have held us in captivity as Jabin did the
Hebrews. The battle represents the combat
which we all must fight with our unseen ene-
mics; and without battles and victories there
can be no real thanksgiving. The Philistines
represent the wicked men who opposed the
Saviour throughout his life and the evils which
oppose us in the battle of life. Deborah,
Barak and Jael represent the truths by which
these opponents are overcome. 1t is battle
between Heaven and He'll. There is not a
battle described in Scripture which does not
typify combat between Truth aud Falsity.
This is not a battle for beginners, but Ges-
perate struggle between those advanced in
regeneration and the evils which have been
permitted to occupy portion of the land; the
habits which have broken their control and
subdued and opposed them for years. Who
are the men of today who have separated
themselves from evil, from corruption, from
dishonesty and immortality and dwell apart?
How many men of business, directly or indi-
rectly, break the commandment 'sThou shalt
not steal?' How many boys in receiving
business education are taught to steal. This
illustration applies to other evils. After the
battle Israel had rest for forty years, and after
tits fight with evil and complete victory we
NAV look for peace, and ange's in heaven will
sing the song of Deborah and Barak

The examination of Mr.. Clement closed on
Friday and his counsel asked time to look over
the evidence as it is written out, to see if there
are any errors. When this is completed it is
understood that William N. Go old will be ex-
amned to prove the partnership. His testi-
mony will be quite long as it expected that it
will be important. 1t will require several days
as the whole transactions of the bauk and all
the conversation which he has had with Glenn

CHESTNUT STREET CHURCH Rev. Mr. Boil
ton of Lewiston occupied the desk at Chestn ut
Street church yesterday morning. Mr.. Bolton
is very earnest speaker, and he made good
impression. His discourse was upon the power
OF the Holy Ghost, based upon the following
words: "But ye shall receive power after that
the Holy Ghost is come.upon you," found in
first chapter of Acts and eighth verse. This
promise has agitated the minds of men ever
since the world stood-to have power is the
highest ambition of many man. This power
which the Holy Ghost gives is adapted to the
wants of this progressive age, for it
is ever aggressive; it not only attracts
men, but it weds them and educates
them and gives them a clearer comprehension
of things. The discourse was adorned with
many apt illustrations.

STRANGE MIsHAPs.-A few days ago man
died in Halifax, leaving a wife and seven chill
dren. The wife started to return to her home
in Quebec with the bSdy of her husband. She
she sailed on the Berd dda for Portland. When
about twenty miles out, the machinery broke
down and the steamer put back to Halifax for
repairs. She there took the cars, and again at.
tempted the journey. When she arrived at St.
John, N. B., the coff n was detained by the au
thorities on account of the non-presentation of
physicians certificate, and by some mis- take
the lady was not informed of the detention, and
socame on without it. Saturday, the body ar
rived in this city and was expressed by the noon
train to Montreal. When the train reached
Oxford, wrecked freight train blocked the
road, aud so another detention occurred.
