The Sunday notice of the Providence
Presbyterian church, found in an
other column, announces quite de-
Cidcd hut very appropriate pulpit in
ovation for tomorrow morning in the
service OF that congregation. 1t ap-
pears from the notice that tomorrow
morning DR.. Guild instead of preach
ing one of his own sermons, will read
one which was given by IA wcll-knOwn
divine in n prominent pulpit in New
York a few Sabbaths ago. The dis
course received nattering comments in
the dailies ON the following Monday
and has also been published in one
OF our religious journals. REST and
Religion; Rest and Vacations" is the
timely subject of the discourse, bestow-
ing fresh, crisp and Scriptural SER
mon in such practical matter and
at 4 time when everybody is thinking
good deal about vacations and per-
haps a little less than usual about re-
ligion, and is well calculated TO attract
attention.
Whether the discourse thus borrowed
from his friend will be stronger pre-
sentatiOn of the subject al hand than
his own would be, doubtless Dr.. Guild
cares little SO long as the treatment
Of it ranges within the generally con-
Ceded limits of Bible teachings on the
subject. The Nesper service in that
church tomorrow evening will begin at
$50 o'clock. The sentiment of the hour
of worship will be The Sabbath Day"
