The Closing Year Mt the Presbyterian

Yesterday was a day of more tt an
usual interest in the Presbyterian
Church of this city. The decorations,
consisting of festoons of evergreen,
wreathes, and vases of natural flowers
which adorned the pulpit, were not
SO elaborate, but arranged as they
were by skillful hands, presented a
very beautiful appearance.
The sermon in the morning had
reference to the advent of Christ, and
the sermon of the evening had refer.
ence to the close oftbe year.
The following is brief extract
from the evening sermon: sDo we
stand in the proper attitudes toward
our relatives and frieDdsY Do we
love them, and do they love US?
If we were conscious that we
should never see them again, would
we be ready to dieY
Have we no apologies to make for
wrong which we have done them?
Have we no confession to hear
f.om them, and no pardon to offer for
injuries which we have received?
Shall not all cause Of bitterness and
hatred be removed?
Now is the time to mend our brok.
en- friendships. The year is gone.
Let all our bitterness and ill-will be
gone with it.
Greet your friends and your enc.
mics, if you have them, next Thurs
day morning, as in other days, with
"a happy New Year." and let your
heart go with your words.
Let US remember that life is too
short and too solemn to be spent in
indulging hatred and bad feeling.
