 THE INSTALLATION SERVICES.
 At the installation, despite the heat of the weather, rendered worse by the close atmo- sphere, there was a large and brilliant audi ence, including many ladies. Although the sers1ces were three hours long the interest was most marked and fully kept up to the close.
 The exercises opened with the voluntary by the choir and organ, ''We praise thee, o God!" music by Dudley Buck. It was ex- ceedingly well given, the usual choir, the Messrs. Bush, Miss Hazltt and Miss Roberts, assisted by George Robinson at the organ, officiating Rev. MT. Todd, presiding as moderator, announced the order of exercises. Rev. Mir. Meserye, clerk of the council, read the proceedings of the council. Rev. MT. Bray, pastor of the Humphrey street Congre gational church, offered prayer. Rev. MT. Kelsey, pastor of the College street church, read 8 selection of the scriptures from Eze- kiers prophecy, the warning words to the watchman of Israel, and from Johns gospel the words of Christ Rev. Dr. Todd then announced the hymn,
 Here Lord of life and light, to thee Our pilgrim fathers bowed the knee The hymn was composed by Rev. Dr. Bacon on the occasion of his installation as pastor of Center church, March g. 1895. Af- ter the hymn came the installation sermon by Rev. Dr. Mckenzie, of Cambridge. It was an admirable discourse, full of direct, broad and telling thought, worthy the high reputa- tion of the speaker.
 .sBehold the Lords hand is not shortened that it cannot save neither his heavy that 1t cannot hear Us. Hx.-1.
 The discourse occupied over an hour in the delivery, although poured forth rapidly and with impassioned eloquence. This Old Tes- tament lesson comes as forcibly to us, said the speaker, at this hour when ut tered by the inspired prophet to the sinful children of Israel. He is calling them back from their iniquities to turn again to their God and the God of their fathers. This striking imagery of words Is found not in the Old Testament only but also in the New But the graven image is forbidden forever by Gods express commandment. Constantly throughout the scriptures Gods form, char acter and attributes are represented in de. scription as like to the human form. We are created in his image, and in revelation he comes to ug in the ideal of perfect man. ''He knowetb our frame; he remembereth that we are dust " He comes to us in his grace ready to hear the prayers of his people to forgive thelr iniquities and to bind them back to their Creator and to their Father in heaven. The tendency of our times to look to created things instead of to our Creator aAd to be lost in the wonders ot his power, in culture and study, instead of coming to God himself so ready to hear to help and to save, earnestly deplored. The tender, inviting words of the text were repeated often in the sermon. He showed that the language of the old prophets and teachings of the Old Testament are not less but even more foreible than the words of the New Testament Many tender, pathetic ap- peals were quoted from the former. God, he said is the worlds great want. Revelation in the Old and New Testaments shows him to be our only salvation. What more full and poetic than the words 70 God thou art my God" and in the New Testament the words of Thomas, the doubting disciple, when he had seen the print of the nails in the SayiOur'S hands and of the spear in his side, ''My Lord and my God" Jesus said at that time Blessed are they who have not seen and yet believe" Some by their great learning and culture seem to hide themselves from God, as our parents hid behind the trees in the garden.
