The 10 o'clock service was we'll attended
and Prof, Sweeney served as musical
director. most enjoyable sermon was
preached by Bishop Mallnlieu. His text
was ii. Corinthians, II chapter and part
OF the 10th verse. He said life with Gods
people ia never failure but triumph
and in illustration referred to an old
man, who, while wealthy, had
maay friends. When he lost his
property it was wonderful how his
friends scattered. Then his wife and
children died. He continued a Christian
through all his trouble and the angels Of
God did not look upon his worldly mis-
fortune as failure. He may have to q
, TO the almshouse, yet he can lift his eye
heavenward and know that he is God
child. The bishop has trials but h
triumphs through Christ. God re
veals himself to man through nature
