NORTH HAYEN.

Nov. 2o.-sunday, November IS, was another beautiful day; church goers out in large numbers and with com mendable promptness. The service at the Congregational church opened with the pastor, Rev. Mir. Lathrop, In the pulpit. The opening exercises were very effective. The great congregation joined the quartet in singing the in- spiring hymns to the grand old tunes of Harwell and Zion. which put them in the right frame of mind to enjoy the stirring discourse which followed. The text was from Malachi, 3a-3. A rapid review of the state of the ancient church in the prophets time, compar- ing 1t with the early Christian church, showing great similarity in belief In the advent of Saviour in the first and the actual advent of one and the belief in the second coming of Christ, led up to the main thought of the sermon. It will come suddenly. But who may abide the day of His coming and who shall stand when He appeareth?" Not those who clothe themselves In white raiment and assemble on the hilltops to be the first to be caught up, and thus gain an early entrance and obtain the highest seats about the throne, but those whom He calls after judg- msnt, whose robes have been washed in the blood of the lamb. The sermon was listened to with marked attention. Rev. MT. Lusk, rector of St. Johns church, preached from Acts 17, 21-"For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or hear some new thing" The thought of the discourse was: "They were not to blame for so doing. It Is the way the world was being educated. If people do not look | and search and tell what they have | found they become stagnated. Happy are those who have children and do not | tire of answering their questions, and through this means encourage them to seek after truth. It was discourse listened to by large and intelligent audience, and was thoroughly appre- ciated.
