 Rev MT Bennett from Rnxbury, preached in the old Methodist church on Thursday evening on the year, from Psalm 65: II, "Thou crownest the year with thy goodness." He contrasted good things with the evil, showing how great the occasion for thanksgiving for the multiplied mercies we had received as g. people. The horrors of war, the condi- tion and struggles of the Cubans for in- dependence, the probable great blessing from the Venezuela movement and the arbitration pending between England and tha Unites States for the peaceful settlement of national aff4irs. Thus it is we'll to consider the real meaning of January facing both ways. Many things of great interest to us, await the unfolding of time, which is great fac tor in human history. We must be con. rent to abide the time. Every event has it's time and we cannot hasten it. The fulness of time, for the things now at is sue, will fully come. Adjustments will then take place as is befittng. So it will be with Cuba and the Sand wich Is- lands aud famine stricken India Things will reach their climax, when the adiudi cation will in some way take place.
