THE EXERCISES.
1t IS well known that II was his earnest
desire that the installation service should
proceed as az first arranged, but DR..
HOge's presence was emphatically for
hidden by his medical advisers, and Mr..
Guthrie whose attitude toward him has
throughout been strikingly fllal, was UNI
willing that the service should be held
while the former was still living, without
his presence So the days went on, and
the pOstponements OF the installation had
their own ominous significance. 1t was
known that the penetrating voice would
never again be heard In the church, nor
the strong face seen. After the death
and funeral Mr.. Guthrie left the matter
OF his installation entirely I'm the hands
OF The session, BY whom it 1t was decided
that the service should take place as
above Before his death Dr. Hoge e1
pressed tho hope that in the event, Rev.
Or. Robert p. Kerr, his dear friend and
associate, would be the presiding officer
at the service. and that wish Of his was
carried out by the other commissioners

Union Theological Seminary. who VIII
breach the sermon: Rev. Or. Jere Wither-
spoon. who VIII address the people. and
Rev. DR.. James T.. Smith who will ad-
dress the pastor-elect. The service will
be that prescribed by the Presbyterian
Book OF order.
