ton and his pastorate The church lavishly and
handsomely decorated with cvergreens. palms and
potted plants and the front of the pulpit was banked
with roses. In the morning Mr. Chadwick preached
from the text Glory TO God in the highest, and on
earth peace and goodwill toward men," He spoke
of the changes in thought brought about during the
last twenty-five years by scientific discoveries and by
the researches of students He did not believe these
changes would have tendency TO weaken the founda
tions of religion, but that they would be the
of escaping from of the old errors. During his
occupancy of the pulpit, the speaker said, an i'm
preston had gained cuTencr. to the effect that
his preaching consisted of telling what the Untarans
did believe rather than what they did believe, but
Il was rnisapprehcnsion due to the fact that, while

congregation once more.
Before the sermon the following anniversary hymn.
written by Mr.. Chadwick, sung:
Thou. whose perfect goodn crowns
With peace and joy this sacred day,
Our hearts are glad for all the years
Thy love has kept US in Thy way
Thy glorious truth has made us free
From bounds OF and bonds Of creed;
Thy light has shone that might
Our own in every brothers. need
For tasks of help and cheer,
For quiet hours Of thought and prayer.
For moments when we seemed to feel
The breath OF dyiner air
For mutual love and trust that keep
Unchanged through all the changing time;
For friends within the veil who thrill
Our spirits with hope sublime
For this, and than words say,
We praise and bless Thy holy
Come life DEATH enough to know
That Thou art the same.
