Whitton's return from Philadelphia,

a most agreeable surprise upon taking
possession of the cosy home provided
for their reception. A bounteous sup
per was prepared, TO which ample JUS
tice was done, after which most en-
joyable evening was spent by the pastor
and his friends, in the exchange of
these little civilites which tend to bind
with adamantine firmness the affections
of pastors and their f1ocks.
Next Sunday will bring around
Whitsuntide,-t seventh Sunday or
fiftieth day after Easter, a festival in
stituted by the Church in commemora-
tion of the descent of the Holy Spirit
on the day of Pentecost. 1t derives its
English name from the white garments
which in ancient times were worn at
this season by all newly baptized
catechumens to whom the sacrament
was administered on the vigil of Pente-
cost. The name, Whitsuntide, compre-
hends the entire octave or week which
follows Pentecost Sunday, but is most
strict in its application to Sunday Mon
day and Tuesday of that week. In
German it is called Pfngsten, and in
many places the three days are kept as
festival days.
