Last Sunday morning Rev. II. M.
Corsbie preached most excellent SER
mon to the young people Of his charge.
An injunction of Paul to Timothy, viz,
Let no man despise thy YOUTH" were
the words Of the text. He showed the
Importance to the young Of their real
izlng the relation the years oe their
youth bore to the after life. The pow
ers Of the mind must be disciplined
and trained, so that the individual can
do the best and truest work. and ac-
complish all that lies within their pos
sibilities. AS highly as he regarded
the young people Of his congregation,
and as truly as he desired their well
fare, nothing, he said, would give him
greater pleasure than to help them to
true appreciation Of their youthful
opportunities, and the Importance Of
wisely using them. Youth must be
spent in such way that others will
have no reason to despise it, and when
in mature years a retrospection is
made, the individual will have no rea-
son to despise his or her youth. The
fact that several young persons of the
congregation are seeking higher educa.
tional advantages abroad, taken to-
gether with the thought that we had
just entered upon q new year, q time
always considered appropriate to make
high resolves fruitful Of nobler living,
made the sermon very appropriate.
