The new pipe organ was used, in pub,
lie worship for the first time, Sunday
morning. In view of the new work al
ready undertaken and that which the
church people propose, the pastor spoke
upon the great end that all church worl
should serve, the building up of this
world into the character of Christ and
his kingdom. This was not matter that
could be relegated to the next world; II
was something that demanded the
church's attention in this. And, for want
of a clearly defined, practical aim in the
church work, the churches to-day were
dissipating great deal valuable force
As a result, we have SO many disputes in
churches so many troubles. These
would be impossible, if it was the con-
scious effort of each to realize the king
dom of God among men and not put this
work off to some future time, of which
we know or can know nothing. At the
service, the music rendered was well sung
and played, the organ proving an inn
mense help to the worship. In the even.
ing, praise service was conducted by
the pastor, when special hymns and an
thems were sung. There were large con.
gregations at both services, which is
largely accounted for by the beautiful
4 weather.

o tranquil rest! o heart serene!
