PRAYED ron THE VOLUNTEERS.
Rev. DIR. Fairs AIIusion TO the yicis-
STUDIES of War,

The services at the Independent Presby-
terrain Church yesterday morning were
very largely attended. The pastor, Rev.
Dr. Fair, in his prayer remembered the
absent soldiers now in camp, and alluded
touchingly 10 the homes that have been
bereaved by the recent tragic events in
Cuban waters.
A collection was taken up for foreign
missions, ana DR.. Fair stated that let
ter recently received from the missionary
in China who is supported by the indie
pendent church, spoke most encouraging
~ Of the work there
The subject Of the sermon was, Gods.
Book Of Remembrance" the text being
taken from Mai, S:17. "And a book of re-
membrance was kept before him for all
them that feared the Lord and that
thought upon his name"
Dr. Fair said the figure of the text was
evidently drawn from a custom of the
ancient Oriental kings who kept a book
of remembrance which contained list Of
those who had distinguished themselves
by devotion to the royal service. When a
titled TO special honor and protection. He
enjoyed access to the presence of the
king, at his approach city gates were I'M
barred, at has knock the palace doors were
flung open wide. The monarch often
scanned that roll, noted every heroic deed
of self-sacrlce or fortitude, marked 1t
for promotion and honor.
So God has his book OF remembrance in
which the names Of His children are writ
ten, with the place assigned to each and
the duty that is given to do. Those who
are written there are safe; they enjoy the
protection Of His mighty arm and always
have access to the presence of the King.
That list is long, 1t contains many names
that are humble, never published in news
papers, not printed in lists of heraldry OF
peerages perhaps written only on the pay
rolls of factories, but honored and ga
zetted in Heaven. That book of remem-
| brance records every cross meeky borne
every injury truly, sweetly forgiven.
In conclusion, DR. Fair described the re-
turn of one Of those faithful soldiery OF
the ancient kings who had been stationed
on the frontier, and who, as a reward fol
| his fidelity, was summoned 20 the capitol
to spend his life in the presence of the
| king. He moved under triumphal arches
| all the population met him with acclama-
| tons and waving of banners, his battle
SCARED armor was laid aside, he was
clothed in royal purple, and above thC
shouts of welcome the herald proclaimed
thus shall II be done unto the man Whom
the king delights to honor"
So the Christian may have hard place
! in this, the land of exile, but some day The
shining messenger will come to summon
him to the capital of the universe, al
| heaven will meet and greet him, God viii
lean from His throne TO welcome hin
home, while like the sound of many
waters. angels and redeemed will sing
! This honor have all thy saints"
