Messrs Buckelew, Draper, Wood and Munger
sang o beautiful stanZa which had most i'm
presslve and touching effect.

ninetieth psalm, laying particular stress on the
verse, $50 teach us to number our days tina
we NAV apply our hearts to instruction.
Prayer was then offered, the words of thu
minister having peculiarly striking and awe
like effect on the hushed multitude.
The quartette song, ooh, Where Shall Res
be Found" after which the Rev. Mr.. Kittsor
made brief and impressive address.
He spoke of the solemnity of the occasion
and said that the words of the psalm, "Teacf
Us to Number Our Days" must come home
to every heart. What is man, that thou sc
regardest him; why is man born at all, if only
to suffer; to grow up as flower and be cu'
down in the evening.
1t cannot be that he is here simply as an i'm
agination or as men working, living, striving
for the beauty of perfection; man is endowed
with this brain and exquisite reason, with
these energies, powers, capacities for good ant
evil; in the struggle comes an occasion like
this: These tragedies of life are not without
significance; they have fearful import, ano
mean something.
On occasions like this the question comes
"what are we here for?' By the side of thi S
terrible event, we are aptto ask what is man
what is he here for? let us die; life is not
worth the living; what are all treasures with
which we are endowed? what is intellect, rea
son, the glow of the heart? Oh, no; this sure
ly is not the end. Accept all the treasures
God has given us, say 81 have received five
talents-here are ten" Work and trust anG
pray, that we may number our days and apply
our hearts to wisdom.
