Yesterday morning the Church of the
Redeemer held its first service at the
Grand opera house. DIR. futile and
Mr.. Shutter were both present and both
addressed the congregation. Following
is an abstract of Mr.. Shutters address:
The spirit in which Paul and his assOci-
ates met disaster and disappointments
is finely illustrated by the words, Cast
down but not destroyed" They always
rose to their feet ready for a fresh Ell
counter with adversely. Let us try TO
learn lesson from their undiSmayed
and hopeful spirit. Dreadful things
happen sometimes, but they are not
divine judgments TO smite and
blast; they are divine materials

The destruction of our house gives us an
opportunity to see the real unity that
underlies all creedS and all religions.
The most gratifying thing of all has
been the sympathy everywhere eX-
pressed. Even while the flames were
wreathing themselves around our raf-
tiers. invitations came from orthodox. as
well as liberal societies, to use their
buildings until our own could be re-
paired. Before good men and great men
divided us into SectS and parties, God
gave us hearts. Deep down i'll our be-
ing. beneath the artificialtieS of form
and ritual and creed, He wrote His ever
lasting and unchanging gospel of love.
1t can not be suppressed. 1t will cast
of every weight that theology has piled
upon it; it will break through every
middle wall of partition. We have one
Father and one destiny. SecOnd-We
have an opportunity to prove that char
acter is superior to circumstances. We
do not underestimate the calamity that
has come upon us. but we shall not be
crushed by it. We preach the gospel
of hope and courage: this is
one opportunity TO practice it.
The poor ship master exclaimed in
a storm at sea: 20 God, Thou mayest
save me if Thou wilt, and if Thou wilt
Thou mayest destroy me, but l will hold
my rudder true" Manhood is not
affected by mutations of fortune. God
sent us into this world to become, not
the fools and playthings of destiny, but

TO be betrayed by fate" Third-We
have an opportunity for vigorous work.
1t goes without the saying that the
regular activities of the church will not
cease. The ruined house will be re-
built. The very magnitude of the task
will be an inspiration. We shall be
stimulated by the memories that gather
about the old walls and tower. By all
that the church has been to ourselves
and others, shall our efforts be strong
and loving to- rebuild its broken
majesty. A day.or two ago, as passed
the ruins, stopped and looked up over
the front entrance where the beautiful
rose window used to be, but where all
is now mass of ice. ] do not know
what caused it. but as looked the rays
of the sun so fell upon the spot that all
the cOlorS of the rainbow flashed upon
the ice. The symbol of hope was Still
shining there. There shall the gospel
of hope again be proclaimed, and from
every window the light of hope shall
again shine upon the pathway of men.
