The sermon was from Isaiah 8: 16-"Bind mp

church to beaI testimony to the truth. There
will always be competent number of Chris
tians to bear witness to divine truth. The
truth Of God has been committed to the
church to be studied, believed and incorpor-
ated into the church's living organism. A
creed is necessary as it represents the will and
structure of the church-her fundamental law
A creed cultiVates unity of spirit among the
members, and as a testimony to truth is valid
II it corresponds to the facts of the Bible. The
defined faith Of the church must be the truth.
1t must contain all the great truths Of revela-
ton. And as all truth is cumulative, it must
also be progressive, recognizing that more
light is to come out of Gods word and the
church is to witness to yet deeper experiences
of faith.
Rev. L. 81. Hallock made the installing
prayer, which was followed by the charge to

The Bixge.. Gu. ON Record.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat April 81
The rumor that another test of the celebrat-
cd Simonds saw would be made at the regular
1.30p. m. matinee at the saw mill building yes.
terday, had the effect of congregating among
the auditors number of experts to whom tbs
proceeds were fraught with vital interest At
the first exhibition of this saw-a 62-inch cir
culsr-given on Stearns mill, April Q, it was
driven through hard pine sixteen-foot log ct
cut averaging sixteen inches and quarter .
revolution. This was deemed remarkable
work, and yet Mr.. John Simonds, representing
the manufacturers OF the saws, felt that ne
could better-in fact beat his own record,
using the same saw and under the same condi-
tons of mill and material. Hence it was that
when q big sixteen foot hard pine log was
dumped upon Stearns'mill carriage all present
kept sharp lookout for results.
1t was jury on which no deception could be
imposed-a jury of saw mill men and saw
manufacturers. Everybody was watching for
points Charles Kruger, the sawyer, and Will
liam w. Harper, the engineer, both veterans
in the business, felt the necessities of the mo-
meat, and when time was called everything
seemed to take life. Away went the log, and
as it fed to the saw the fne-tempered instru-
mont, apparently timber when idle, grew rigid
with motion and stood up nobly to its work.
Plank after plank each an inch in thickness
and as regular in size as measurement can de-
tsrmine, was cut off, until when the last cut
had been made, and time was again called tho
log had been transformed into 240 feet OF

seconds.
Measurement of the cuts was then made, re-
vealing that with each complete revolution of
the saw it had cut the extraordinary quantity
OF I'0enty.one inches-four and thrse-quarters
inches better than the cut of April 2. OF
course there ia reason for this, and that rea-
son substantiates the claim of the Simonds

and Chicago, ILL.,, that they make their saws

they attain the perfection of temper and adjust.

the duty required of saw.
Mr.. Simonds is to be congratulated on the sue.
cess of the Simonds saw.
The feed" of saw mill is the number of
inches, the carriage carrying the log moves, at
each revelation Of the saw. In ordinary mills
in New England it varies from one to three
inches, and the maximum is four to six inches.
Heavy mills in the northwest carry from four
to 10 inches on soft pine. The above feed OF q
inches was cutting Southern hard pine with
62-inch circular saw running 700 revolutions

ago was to 10 inches.

I'm Esrspe with Great scuIptors.

Mr.. Stoddard well says some of the most
important and instructive hours abroad can
be spent in the great galleries like the Louvre,
the Vatican and the Uffizzi, studying the
great sculptors. but the way to do. on the part
of the ordinary tourist, pressed for time, is to
select few grand objects and study them
carefully. So in this case he takes his hearers
within the temples, galleries and studios of
Europe selecting and explaining masterpieces
Of antiquity, some of the glories Of the Renais-
sance, of Oanova and Thorwaldsen, and many
modern gems Of art. It was delightful
