At the M. E. church the sermon in the morning was from Revelation ii. 4th-5th. 'sNeverthelessI have somewhat against thee because thou hast left thy first love. Re member therefore from whence thou ar' fallen. and repent and do thy first works ol else l will come unto thee quickly. and ] will remove thy candlestick out of it's place except thou repent" The following were the principle divisions of the sermon: list, The danger of spiritual declension. on the part. both of churches and individuals. 2d, The remedy proposed where such state of things does exist. Sd, The fearful threat made against those who remain backsliders and indifferent.

AT THE CONGREGATIONAL oHuRoH.


 The sermon in the Congregational church was on the Sabbath, as related to the nation, the Family, and the Individual. The tex, was. ''Ye shall keep My ssbbaths.". Keep means keep holy, as the fouth com mandment says: Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy" The danger to our country is the importation of the European Sabbath. The Sabbath is for man it is not Jewish institution it began with the family in paradise. God made man on the sixth day, and rested the seventh. The family and the Sabbath stand side by side. The fourth commandment is in the centre of the decalogue, and makes the heart ot the ten commandments. Sabbath break. ing is the entering wedge to general loose ness of sentiment and moral decay. Rest day is the day for the father to be at home and make his home type of heaven. When France did away with the Sabbath substituting the Decade, within about year and half 10000 cases of divorce were reg. istered. Two contiguous nelghborhoods in New Hampshire are mentioned In one the Sabbath was observed, in the other it was profaned. In the course of years the fam lilies where the Sabbath was profaned were broken up by divorce, intemperance and crime. The children were scattered; one fell in a duel, several became drunkards, some were sent to ahe almshouse, and some to the States'-prison. The families of the place where the Sabbath was observed lived in peace and prosperity most of theil Echildren became church members some are ministers of the gospel, and one is g missionary in China. Sabbath keeping helps the individual morally, socially and even pecuniarily. Statistics prove this God says, ''Them that honor Me-, vii honon" The Sabbath must te sanctifed tbe resting must Dc holy resting. If tho father takes his rest by. walklDgs the sor will take his by driving; if the father rest by making social visits, the son will rest by visiting the city club or the village tavern if the father rests by taking parlor games the son will rest by out door croquet O public sporting. Human nature gravitate downward. A chlld's hand may precipi late the powder which DO number of strong men can restore to it's mountain elevation Parents must guard against the drift ant I tendency of things Let the children leari these lines early ..
 "A Sabbath well spent
