RUPERT-sABBATH-s CONCERT.

The Rupert Congregational Sabbath
school concert took place at that church
last Sunday afternoon. The exercises CON-
menccd by singing. Prayer was then Of
fered by Rev. DR.. Lambert, the superin-
tendent. The exercises consisted of sing
ing and a review of the last quarters les
sons, referring to the acts of Joshua in
leading the Hebrews into the land of Ca
man after the death of Moses.
The points made were Joshua's brief re-
view of the many favors they had received
from God in His care and special watch
fulness of their ancient fathers, and in
bringing them out of bondage and establish
ing them IN the promised land. Although
they had been sorely tried, yet God did not
forsake them but turned their affliction into
blessings. The affection was that those
that feared and trusted in the Lord would,
in due time, pass over the Jordan of death
into the promised land, where all trials and
affections will cease. And in view of these
promises of God, which were sure to be
fulfilled, how important it is too that an i'm
mediate decision is made of whom we will
serve. The points were finely brought out
by the classes, from the infant to the adult
Bible classes, showing that both scholars
| and teachers had been alive to their work
| the past winter.
Near the close little incident occurred
causing some anxiety. Rev. DIR. Lambert
| had been i'll short time since and had not
regalned his strength, and in the forenoon
| had preached very impressive sermon, in
| which he seemed to be deeply interested as
well as his hearers, and the labor in con-
| Quoting the concert Over-balanced his en-
durance and he had to lay down, nearly
fainting, but soon recovered and was taken
home. 1t did not prove serious. DIR. Lam
bert has labored hard the past year, and
| won the love and esteem of his cOngrega.
