Sunday Services,

After the usual opening exercises, Rev. Albert
preached from the text: For the kingdom of God
is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and
peace, and JOY in the Holy Ghost."> Romans
xiv, II.
He said: There are two things that are gen.
orally believed. First, that God made man; and
second, that Jesus Christ the revelation of God,
and the revelation of man when he is made per-
feet. The religion of Jesus Christ is the means of
getting into the perfect life.' The more knows
of religion the easier and palmer it appears The
trouble is. we all eight in argument. We want
to prove things we try to prove religion. in
stead of simply holding it up, that men can see it,
This is about Ike little tallow candle coming to
man standing in the full blaze of the sunshine
and saying, Let me help you see that the sun is
shining have observed that the most succe S.
full ministers not they who argue most. Men
OF great intellects and reasoning powers are not
the most successful in leading men to Christ
Some plain man. who holds up the religion of
Jesus Christ, as it is, will leave behind him more
lasting good. Christ says, Seek ye first the king
dom of God and his righteousness What he
meant was, when once the kingdom of God is
made plain all else becomes secondary and con-
forms to the love of God. He meant, grow up
and be like Me and when you come to die you can
say. it is finished.' Here he took up the obiec-
tions made to christianity. and argued that they
were principally imaginary when the true purpose
and aim of religion were viewed from unpreju
diced standpoint. He compared the wealthy cit-
zens of our country to the pure cOntentment of
the christian advancing toward that perfect life
which is the kingdom of God.
The difference between selfish acts with
charitable appearance, and true rity and love,
was hown by practical illustration. He concud.
ed by telling what gained by accepting
christianity.

Editor MlrrOr:
Our chaplain has more than once expressed
wish that 1.-The boys here would join in the
chapel singing more generally. Now. l know that
a great many men have hymn books but for some
reason they do not to sing. Sometimes it
may Re from foolish idea that their singing
makes them an object of ridcule. To any who
have this idea, l say, cast it away! They who
would ridicule you for joining in Gods service
not worthy of your consideration. Again,
many who have hymn books never offer to let
their neighbor look over it with them, when, per-
haps. the next man to them would be only too
glad of the opportunity to sing. There is usually
one hymn, and sometimes more than one. selected
because it is we'll known, and would like to see
1.-The boys" do justice to them. Nothing sounds
better than good con gregatonal singing If hymn
books perhaps the state would provide
a few more copies.
Believe me, if you join in the hymns you will
feel all the better for it after you go your cells.
Remember what Bishop Gilbert SAID, God gaze
you those voices, them, then. for his praise.
