overlooking greeted Rev. F. A. Gilmore on
his re-appearance in his old place in the pull
pit of The Unitarian church Sunday morn

cussed, and the speaker, in graphic and
vivid language, illustrated how Gains mis-
deed, i'll the conse quences it entailed upon
the offender, stood as the perfect type of the
consequences of all sin in its reaction upon
the wrong-doer. The sermon was a very
able one in its clear and forcble perception
and application of the lessons to be deduced
from the text, and in its exercise of Mr.. Gil
more's rare gifts of language, illustration
and faculty of simplifying and arranging
facts and principles 50 as to convey moral
or spiritual truth to the minds of his hearers
in clear and vivid impression. The sermon
demonstrated that Mr.. Gilmore has ripened
in ability and experience during the period
since he was here, and that both III force OF
delivery, and the resources of wider study
and experience, he is stronger and better
equipped for usefulness than ever. In the
evening he gave lecture on Ancient Peru,
illustrated by views, which was very proilt-
able and interesting. Pressure Isle Star
