CONGREGATIONAL.
A pleasant Sunday is always thing 10
be grateful for, but last Sunday mere
hearts than usual rejoiced at sight of the
morning sun. Rather earlier than usual
the seats began to be filled, and at the last
stroke of the bell full house awaited the
opening serrice with subdued but expect.

The always pleasant auditorium was

which adorned the platform, behiRd which
sat the choir, well equipped for its ser.
vice of song. Tue occasion was one Ot
more taan usual interest-the receiving
into the church of thirty-ave Dew men,
bers, thirty-one upon the confession of
faith and four by letter. These occupied
seats 10 front Of the pulpit and listened at
tenlively to an earnest charge in connec.
ton with the words, LET this mind be in
you which was alsu in Christ Jesus."-Phil.
IL: 5. This was given, not so much as the
text of a sermon as the life motto of those
who this day confessed" their need Of oil
help, human and divine, to enable them
ITO do justly and to love mercy, and TO
walk humbly with their God"
Among this number we're parents with
hair already attesting a ripened age; hus-
band and wife in the glow Of vigorous
man AMI womaubool; youth with its
grace, and childhood with It's innocence.
Very impressive was the scene, as one after
another knelt reverently 10 receive the
symbol Of baptism, and each beholder re-
sponded in his heart, The Lord bless thee
and keep thee; the Lord make his face
shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee"
This lngathering was the result of a
series OF meetings held for nearly four
weeks, Of which the pastor, Rev. W. E.
Barton, had the entire charge, preaching
every evening except one, when Rev. A.
q. Walttook his place. Pastor and people
are very happy 10 the new life which the
awakened interest has Infused into the
church. Nothing like II has been known
before In its history. 1t was good day.
We append the names and street ad-
dresses Of those received into the church.
Members will find 1t convenient to clip
the list and paste II into their handbooks
for reference. Those marked with an as
terisk (") were baptized: the others had
received baptism previously. The four
whose names are marked with dagger
~ were received by letter.
