BRISTOL.

| Last Sunday, at the Congregations
church, Rev. H. M. Corsbie gave the sec
ond OF a series of expository sermons Oh
| the book of Revelations. There was an
unusually full house ard the sermon
commanded close attention. The lat
ter part of the second chapter of Reve-
lations was the basis of the discourse.
The Rev gentleman took the position
that the book was not prophetic of
events vet in the future. He did not
claim that his veiWS were original.
The same views had always been held,
lalthough those who in former times
held them were in the minority. Now
they were becoming more generally
held. In order to correct understand
ing we must learn the purpose of the
writer and the circumstances and con-
dition of those to whom the book was
addressed. The speaker gave full
and very interesting explanation of
these points. The third sermon of the
series will be preached week from
next Sunday.

Elder Howe is returned to the Bris-
toll Circuit for third year. This is
considered proof that his services have
been acceptable to the churches, the
usual time being two years. On Sun
day his discourse was defense of the
system of stationary ministers in the
M. i. church. The system is being
just now by the ministers of |
the denomination. Probably some |
change will be made or a split will
take place. This has taken place four |
times already in England, and once,
if not more, in this country. The pres |
emit system is an excellent thing in new |
countries, or to reach the lower classes
in large towns, but it does not work |
in rich churches of the cities. |
