tions at Trinity Methodist church al both
the morning and evening services. The
pastor. Rev. j. :. Hunter. pursuant 10
appointment, preached a special sermon
10 children at the morning hour HIS
theme was kindness and the discourse
was exceedingly tender and presented in
a comprehensive and entertaining manner
to the ediiicatlon Of those of tender years
especially but also TO the entire
audience. At night Mr.. Hunter spoke
on the wise choice Of Moses in choosing
rather TO suffer aillicton with the people
Of God than 10 enjoy the pleasures OF sin
for season. esteeming the reproach Of
Christ greater riches than the treasures
In Egypt" &c. Very handsomely did the
speaker portray the respective altcrna-
tives presented 10 the great law-giver and
the great wisdom OF his decision. and in
application OF his subject he earnestly
pleaded with his hearers ever TO choose the
better way-God and His righteousness
which would not only be wise respecting
time, but eternity also.
The singing was spirited and the SER
vices were manifestly enjoyable.
