AT THE CHURCHES.
ST. THOMAS CHURCH.

The Sunday nearest the Fourth of
July comes chronologlcally into a
patriotic atmosphere. The sermon on
Nv ar" took note of the fact that there
is conflict of cOnte,ting or opposing
forces both in the seen and unseen
world. Every creature is built to fight
for existense, subsistence, defense and
offense. Of all activities of the earth
war is most energetic in operation and
momentous in results Every great
nation is born of a war. All strength
and resources are brought into use, men
and means, arms and ammunition,
Peace is the fruit of war. Universal
impulse is to learn more and more of
God, to draw nearer to God.
Queen Cleveland came acceptably to

Real Estate Exemption.

The bureau of statistics has reports
from not less than onefourth of the
counties Of the state showing mortgage
exemptions of something over nine
thousand persons under the new law,
and amounting to $3.50, l61, being an
average of over S327,O00 to the county.
The increased valuation of real estate re-
turns considerably exceeds this amount
for each county on an average, so re-
turns thus far indicate that the mort
gage exemption will not decrease valu
ations in the state, but will consider
ably increase them, as the latter show
over 100000 on an average.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Sundays services were fairly well
attended and were all of more than
ordinary interest. The music especially
added much to the delight and profit of
the day. The morning sermon was
from Luke %: "a, "And Peter followed
afar Off" Peter cared for Christ, but
just enough to make his conduct the
more reprehensible on this occasion.
He had enough Christian strength not
to permit of his remaining entirely In
concealment, and just enough feshly
weakness to render him useless at a
time when he might have been of the
greatest service. He knew his duty but
failed to perform it. He followed afar
off on the road to denial. He followed
Christ but only to see the end, and
therefore as an idle spectator. And
last and worst of all he was willing to
be disciple of Christ, but unwilling to
be known as such
The evening sermon was brief, furn-
ishing few suggestions as to how the
4th OF July might be celebrated with
just as much delight as at present and
certainly with much greater profit.
The Sunday school held the usual in
teresting and profitable session. The
study of the OLD Testament prophecies
was taken up with right good WILL
Several new and very excellent books
were added to the library the past week
The picnic will be held after the ex.
element of the 4th has subsidized.
