preceded in the forenoon by regular
3id-time Methodist loys-feast and an
excellent sermon by the new presiding
elder. Rev. F. ]. Duncan, ID. d. A
goodly number were present, and from
The tear-stained eyes, the cheerful testi-
monies given, with the hearty amens
that resounded, this reporter feels safe
10 saying that the occasion was a moat
epjoyablel and profitable one-a love-
hast indspd to the participants.
Yesterday morning DR.. Duncan again
occupied the pulpit and preached
strong and touching sermon to . large
congregation, from John Iii. and xiv.
md Xii. and xxxii. "And as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the will
Of Man be lifted up; and ii
Nl men TO me-" his subject being, The
Magnetism OF the Cross-What Is Itf
He said At no time Was the tragic
hceue OF Calvary absent from she
ISavior's vision, and the contamination
J Of that tragedy wsa>the "lifting up to
which He referred in the text. What
bat the cross Of Christ, His atoning sac
'1ifcc, can bring snd draw men to God ?
Nature is powerless and insufficient to
do 30; nature has two voices--tells two
tales. She tells you one and means an
other. Fills you with hope and Joy,
willis ehe brings to me despair and
ruin. The gentle cloud brings to you
heavens refreshing rain, making you
rad your world bright and glad, while
y 70 me and my world it proves besom
Of destruction to life and property, leav-
ing suffering and devastation in its
wake.
Christ 10 the magnetic power OF the
cross and love is the magnetic cord that
;draws men to Christ. Love, 80 taHght
sua e1smPiiiiGGssaa IN His gospel OF love !;
and none but His followers, with those
who live under it's civilising and en-
Tightening influences, can see the loving
Father in the raging elements or behol q
the emnipotept God in the fowers. l
thank God for a religion of love which
attracts all that is good-the pureat
anen and women and whatsoever is OF
good report. 1t was through this love
that our dear ones who have died in the
daith were drawn to Him. They are now
with Him in glory forevermore be-
seech you look to the cross and live
Seek this loving Savior today and now.
I At the close of the sermon ten OF
twelve persons united with the church
and holy communion was administered;

home OF the organization for its frs
four months of existence. The growt
OF the work in this period proves tn

and in the larger quarters to which IL

Mrs. Fisher OF the Grand View Pre-
byterian church conducted the fir

leave this place because it has hsen
failure, but because it has been such
