At St. James Episcopal Church, prayers
were held on Friday and Wednesday morn
ings.
On Friday evening the text was taken
from the 51st Psalm. The circumstances
under which the Psalm was written were
mentioned, the sin and impentience of the
Psalmist until brought to sense of his
wickedness by the prophet Nathan, and
his subsequent repentance aud submission
to the loss of his son.
On Sunday morning the sermon was from
Job 2: 70. 1t went on to speak of the an
cient custom of sprinkling dust or ashes
on the head, from which Ash Wednesday
derives it's name; the number of days in
Lent was fixed at forty, i'll commemoration
of the forty days of the flood; the number
of days Moses spent on the Mount; the
years the children of Israel were in the
wilderness, and the forty days fasting of
our Saviour.
Sunday evening the subject chosen was
charity, and on Wednesday evening the
text was from the 5ist Psalm IA verses,
subject being Gods mercy, His power of
blotting ont sin, not only from the book of
His remembrance, but also from the soul of
man, through the means of justification
and sanctitication and the confession of
our sins to God.
