The SacTamental meeting at the Gum.
berland Church was well attended, especial.
| ~ on Sunday. The pastors of the other
churches very properly left Bro. Dixon TO
do most OF the preaching, as he had by a
combination OF circumstances, been pre.
vented from occupying his pulpit for sew.
erai weeks IN succession, He took for his
subject at i o'clock on Sabbath, John 18th
chapter, 18th verse. "This is my command.
ment, that ye love one another, as ! have
loved you" This was the language OF
Jesus to His disciples when He was with
them in prison, and it comes with equal
force 10 all Christians of The present day
and should tend TO bind together in q
bundle OF love the hearts OF all who love
the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerely and
| truth, no matter how diversified the names
by which they may be called, for Christ
| say1 "WhOsOever shall do the will of nv
Father which is in heaven, the same is INV
! brother, and sister, and mother" Separat
ed as We are here, by extraneous circum-
stances and surroundings, we are too often
forgetful of the tender relations which
should exist between the children OF a
common Father, but where the members Of
different denominations happen to meet in
| foreign lands there at once arises
brotherhood of feeling, and mutual sym
! pathy and charity springs up, which binds
in chains of love and causes them TO fee
that we are all of one family.
