ST. AIMS CHURCH.


Rev. Father Preston preached q preliminary Ae-

holy and sanctifed one. and all good Christians
should endeavor to lead themselves away from
worldly things TO the contemplation of the many
mercies and blessings showered upon mankind
by the Holy Ghost. In Advent the passage in the
Gospel urging followers Of Christ to watch and
pray should be particularly kept In mind. for the
Lord "cometh like q thief in the night" and only
those that prepared could expect to be saved.
Father Preston drew attention to the parable
Of the "foolish virgins" and counselled his
congregation to always have the light OF
faith in their hearts burning brightly and
kndled by the fire OF Christ's divine love.

gentleman. to respond to the call Of Lord. tor
