The Second Congregational Church, Fai1
 Haven.

The regular order, which has been inter rupted during the summer, was resumed yes terday; and from this time on the hours of service will be 10:30 a. m. and 2:15 p. m, and prayer meeting at 7 D. m. This church was prettily trimmed with autumn leaves and bright fall berries and flowers, and the pas
 tor, Rev. H. c. Hovey, preached sermon on
 the text ''We all do fade as leaf," Qsaiah
 64:G). After commenting on these words in
 their most obvious and melancholy interpre-
 tation, the speaker observed that in the light
 of modern science the leaf teaches still different lesson.-How does the leaf grow: 1t is really the builder of the tree. Through it's stem a slender cord conveys woody matter to the branch from which 1t hangs out in the sunshine and the dew. The more leaves there are the more wood there is. Each 1ea1 | lets down chord from it's own heart, and | the mas sive trunk is but binding together of this years, last years, last century, | leaf-cords, until it is thick enough to furnish l the keel and ribs of a man-of-war. When | the work of any single leaf is fully done | God gloriies it by coloring it with crimso1 l and gold. If our lives are useful we may have as much glory in fading as the leaves
 do. Old age and death are not repulsive l They often have peculiar beauty, showing 1 how precious in the sight of the Lord is l the death of his saints.'
 Our life work is our real monument, as th' | sturdy tree is the memorial of the leaves that l built it up Granite shafts and marble piles | can add no lustre to men like Washing ton and Lincoln. Paul needs no monumen
 better than his Epistle to the Romans, anC Peter's pentecostal sermon is a better memo
 rial than the lofty dome bearing his name Our work abides when we ourselves arr gone. The speaker then described the grea I diversity there is in autumnal foliage, ana drew analogies between the variegated leave l and the contrasts of character at ife's close
 showing that the event of death often enable I a Christian to glorify Gcd as never before, a
 the forest leaves before falling gather int themselves all the beauty and sunshine o summer.
