Services were conducted in the beautiful
large upper hall on Ninth street. between
Pine and Olive. by the pastor, Rev. Henry
Morgan. Mrs. Hutchinson Morgan pre-
sided at the organ and leads the singing,
and rendered. in her well known and fasci-
mating manner. delightful music. With
her beautiful solo singing at these services
the people have a feast OF sacred song.
The usual crowds were present morning
and evening. The Sunday school is also
increasing in numbers and interest The
superintendent. Mr.. Graves. IS always
pleased 60 welcome new scholars.
The morning discourse, ssSeeing Jesus,
was founded on the text in Hebrews ii.9:
This sight Of Jesus is the nrerogatiye Of
the believer Faith IS the eye OF the soul. .

like sight, produces impressions and affects

We see Jesus. as sinners. asdisciples,as our
friend, as our governor. Our present sight
Of Jesus is incomplete. Faith. Ike sight,

though sight is very simple thing in OPP
Grafton, and n child can see as easily as q
man. yet is the gift Of God. Children can
see, bat their vision is not accurate because
they lack experience. So, frequently in
experienced young Christians make sad
mistakes. Never mind; keep looking unto
Jesus. There is life for look.
In the evening the pastor preached from
Hebrews, Kills: "Let us go forth unto
Him without the camp, bearing His re-
proach.a Following Christ and suffering
with Him, and leading separate life from
the unDelieving world.
FIRST CHRISTIAN t.nrscn.
At the First Christian Church, on Seneca
street, between Third and Fourth streets,
Elder J. S. McCallum, the pastor, preached
in the morning from the following text:
Matt xvii 80 60 When the gospel shall have
fun sway the wilderness and solitary place shall
be made glad aud the dessrt shall blossom as the
rose.
No wonder, then. that Paul said. 81 am
not ashamed OF the gospel of Christ, for it
is the power of God unto salvation 10
everyone that believeth." lie makes
known the facts OF this gospel in Cor. Nv:
3:4 They are the death, burial and resur-
recsi0n OF Christ. The death OF the Savior
has been the subject OF much study and
thought. IN 1t you find no selfishness or
bigotry. The cross is radiant with love.
The resurrection has also received great
deal OF Attentions. To think that we are to
have = body Ike unto Christ's glorious
body Is Soal-inspiring and cheers us in our
struggles for the star-gemmed crown of
Immortality. Christ's burial has not been
held out prominently by preachers and
writers of religious thought. That Paul
mentions the burial of Christ as one of the
facts of the gospel is sufficient 10 show that
ii is important We might ask, why not
leave the body OF Jesus in the hands Of his
followers? Why bury him. twas neces-
sary 40 fulfil prophecy, and the laws of
pruprlety demanded il. Ii was also neces-
sary to prove concluslveiy that he is the
SON OF God. The evidence TO show that
Gcd raised bis Son from the dead is over
whelming. Why give an institution 10
which to initiate this burial as set forth in
Rom. vi:a and Col. ii.12g LIST. To show
