The financial review of the church history
is very encouraging; a large number Of pews
having been rented, and the income from
this source being larger than ever before,
$6,526.23. The contributions to benevolent
causes have also been larger the past year
than in any former year except 1875; and
larger even than that when the Sabbath Of
ferings alone are counted, $2,58477. q The
total amount Of money raised BY the church
for all purposes is $1O,3Oo. 81 3.'ttf go . I
Twenty one members have been added to
the church during the past year, Of which
nine joined by profession of faith and twelve
by letter. The average net gain, after de-
Quoting all losses IN membership, has been
27L3 for nine years. or. a total net gain Of
239. sIhe gross gain in the same time has
been 427 members. l7..t3tr5.,if s. .lz,-7Is JziYt
The present strength of the church IS 4O7.
The congregations, have not been so large
this year as last. They have averaged 347
for the morning service; and 243 Tor the
evening service. sn@;5iil ic,t1 5i:q aj ,li,, ..

After the review of the year was finished
Mr. Breed referred to the low spiritual. state
of the church in general. He had discov-
cred In conversation with other pastors that
t.ey complained of the same apathy and IN
difference to religious subjects which he dis
covered in his own church.
The concluding portion Of the sermon had
ln'view an effort to promote a more active
and fervent service on the part of church

The Rev. Merritt Hnlburd, of the First
Methodist Church, preached an interesting
sermon last evening on - Fila! and Fra

twelfth verseiof the Hath Psalm: es5f sssfsl 8

upon was the love of, obedience. The rela-

Obedience to parents included in the first
place reverence, and in this connection the
speaker was sorry to say that the tendency OF
the youth OF America was mainly in the
direction OF idisrespect and irreverence..
There was widespread disposition to throw
OFF and ignore parental restraint There
,were.a few rare instances in which rebellion
to parental authority was justifable. Such,
for instance, might be the case when o pa
rent wilfully perverted the word of God re-
speeding the hampering of the child's con-
science, or, when ,actuated by mercenary
motives, the marriage of a child was sought
to be prevented, when there existed no other
reason for opposing the match than social or
moneyea conside rations. I2>5 Q. tlea1st.sT :
The second point upon which he desired
to speak, was the fraternal relation, The
mutual influence and oompanionship of one
member Of q family towards another. There
