Christ answered "Thou shalt love the
Lord thy Col with all thy heart aud

afforded rest to the mind. This was the

Bakers Appropriate Sermon.

When the very large congregation as
sembled In Williston church yesterday
morning. 1t was, with few exceptions
surprised to SEE over the pulpis mag
nifioent memorial window representing
"Cbrist In the Temple" The window
contains six figures and is reproduction
If Hoffman's famous paintings. The
child Christ dressed In white robe,
stands In the center, in the act of speak
ing, while around him are grouped the
different types Of character representing
in their faces the varying degrees of in
terest or skepticism with which the words
spoken are being received. The faces of
all will bear close study, but that of the
child Christ Is of singular beauty for its
combined purity and nobility. 1t has no
trace OF weakness and seems as near
divine as 1t is possible to represent the
human countenauce The window has
all the modern features known TO the
gin ss.makrrs art and the rich coloring is
produced by placing one thickness of glass
over another till the desired depth of tone
Is obtained. The window is the gift of
Mrs. Chapman and was made at G. II.

REV. DIR. BAKERS SERMON.
A most appropriate aud torcible sermon
was preached by the pastor, Rev. Smith
Baker, ID. D., his subject being "Cbrist
with the Doctors and the words of his
text were taken from st. Luke, End chap
ter, 4sth verse; "Wist ye not that must
be about my Fathers bus mess.
Rev. DIR. Bakers opening thought was
that throughout the ages the highest art
the world has known has been consecrated
to spiritual themes and devoted to re-
ligious purposes and when God would
have d tabernacle in the earlier days he
did not make it plain and simply of water
tight cloth, but it was beautiful and EN-
bellished by artistic touches and 1t be-
came of more benefit by reason OF Its at
tractiveness. God furthermore recognized
the value of art by clothing his priests
with gorgeous robes ana in other ways
adding to the beauty of worship. He
mentioned the fact that Williston church
was pleased to accept the beautiful picture
Of "Christ among the Doctors" me-
mortal Of distinguished citizen, which
would always remain constant living
preacher and the first lesson which the
window suggested to the speaker was the
power of the spiritual over the natural.
The very picture Is the revelation of the
spiritual Illuminating the natural. In the
heart of the great artist and illumining

and dwelling further uron that ''iilumi-

that love and said that while other music

with poems not those pertaining to
political and cognate matters become i'm
