" Truth Rises to Object.

EDITOR HERALD: / do not propose
to write a communication for your
paper; l haven't time just now. lam
going to ask you to give the pastors
of the respective congregations in this
city little paper talk on the subject
of closing their places of worship on
Sabbath evenings for every side ar
rangement that happens along. Some
times it is the Bible Society, and then
the temperance meeting. All these
things are well in their places, but it
Is not possible, and don't think ex-
pedient, if it were possible, for all the
church-going community to get into
that little Templar Hall. l am told,
too, that it is unsafe when crowded.
IIdon't believe in pastor vacating
his pulpit on Sabbath for any cause
but illness, and then he ought to make
an effort to have it filed. l do take
comfort in looking forward to the day of
rest and communion with God and his
people-that one hour in the morning
and evening. Last Sunday Evening
we discovered a light in the window
of the Congregational Church and re-
paired thither. We found descend
ant of Ham awaiting the advent of
affairs; from him we could gather but
little information. Then we walked
a long distance to Grange Hall, think
ing to hear Brother Campbell, on the
''rishbite'' again, but were doomed
to disappointment. Heretofore In
those times of "slde meetings" (you
see L feel kind of hateful this morn
ing) it has been our privilege to step
in and find consolation in the elo-
quence and zeal Of our friend Rev. w.
H. Hill.s belong the Presby yterian
Society, poor lhingl l wish the MEM
bers had q fresh baptizing of the
spirit, giving them an earnest zeal in
church building. Our pastor is not to
blame in this matter, and woman
like, am glad to have an excuse for
him. Yours very respectfully.
