 Sunday morning, September 2s, the subject of the sermon was Faith, in it's relation to the coming of the Son of Man." The coming of the Son of Man was, in the mind of most people, fact still to be accomplished, said the preach CT. That was true; but there is another coming. He comes to the church by opening up new fields of Christian activ- ity and service. He comes with broader and more intelligent ideas of God; with more liberal ideas of religion and of the Christian life. The coming of the Son of MdH CduuOI Uc COnHueu to CIle DleSSlDES that come to the church through the channels of prayer and preaching. It was then shown how the Son of Man is coming to the church to-day. Many of the tendencies of the hour were reviewed and commended for the good they were calculated to do. But, as the preacher said, would the Son of Man find faith among the churches? As matter of fact, a great majority of the churches are not in sympathy with the new light that is streaming in upon religion, from the di- rection of philosophy and science. They reject it positively and demand sthe sim pie Gospel" a phrase which means what anybody likes to put into it. A few only are reaching forward after the time which is ringing out the false views of God which have darkened the horizon of the world and made life like Samson grinding corn with shorn locks. It was l then shown that faith was the only thing that could achieve great victories; that this was day for the church to do great things; and that nothing but her faith lessness would be the reason of her fail- ure to bring the world into harmony with the kingdom which the Son of Man is founding.

The Iroquois Band to BE Clad In Bun
and Gold.
The new uniforms of the Iroquois band,
which are probably the handsomest ever
worn by any musical organization of this
city, are now on exhibition In tho window
Of Henry Gerhart, on North Queen street,
who manufactured the uniforms. The
material in the uniforms is French cloth.
The color of the coats Is buff and they are
trimmed In blue. They have gold lace upon
the front connecting the buttons and on the
shoulders are gold knots The pantaloons
are OF light blue with white stripes down
the Sides The uniform of the leader is
something different from that of tho men,
bers, as the coat is trimmed in red and the
stripes on the pantaloons is of the same
color The caps are of tho same
material rs the coats, and they
are also trimmed in gold lace across
the front Is the word "Iroquois" worked
In gold. The band will surely present an
admirable appearance when they don those
beautiful clothes, and they will no doubt
make a parade shortly to show the citizens
how they look.
