Lying is one of the worst and most

Sunday Services.

The choir commenced the services by singing
the anthem "Be not deceived" The morning
lesson taken from the latter part OF the 2lst.
chapter of Genesis, relating the covenant which
was made between Abraham and Abimelech. The
text was John vi. S.: He that eateth my flesh
and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and in
him." The actual subject of the sermon was
blood covenanting'' and our chaplain traced its
history not only from the origin of the Jewish sac
rices but also far back into the history of the so.
called heather nations. "In Armenia when two
men make covenant they write the articles of
the agreement on parchment. and then TO seal
the covena they each take lance and open a
bloodvessel of the arm and drink of the others
blood. This is considered the most binding form
of covenant in that country.
The shaking of hands is custom descended
from blood covenanting. At one time the inhab

make covenant or cement friendship they dis

shaking hands. and while it may not always signi-
fly the deepest friendship, its Withholding most
certainly indicates the withholding of friendship.
Blood has always been con sidered to be means
of communication with the Supreme Being. hence
when the priests of Baal. in their famous contest
with Elijah. could get response to their PR ayers
they cut themselves that their blood might be
the means of stimulating their gods to action.
When consider the universal respect with
which the ceremonial of blood covenanting was
regarded by all nations cannot wonder that
Christ wished to establish blood covenant be-
tween God and humanity. We come to the
text. Blood covenanting was symbol under

Temperance and Intemperance.

The agitation of the temperance cause
seems to have died within our midst. While
some are discussing the labor question,
think that it would become some of us to
lend our support through the medium of
our little paper to the temperance people
who are zealously striving to overthrow the
saloon in this state. Let us work for what
we want most, and for the cause from
which we can derive the most benefit. Let
