Christian Courtesy.

Owing to the repairs now being made
to our electric plant there were no
lights to be utilized in the Presbyterian
church on last Sunday evening. APP
preciating this fact the rector aud Off
GERS OF the Episcopal church rendered
the use OF their church to their Presby-
terrain bre thren. The courteous inyi-
tation was accepted, and DR.. Harding,
with a goodly number Of Episcopalians
and members Of his own flock wor-
shipped there.
For the time being the followers Of
Calvin had entire charge of the sister
church, pulpit, choir and all, and with
a courtesy as delicate and as gracious
as was the invitation they had received
to worship there, the preacher used a
prayer while the choir closed at least
one Of the hymns with a soft sweet
"amen."
zone as we are one" was the prayer
of the church while on earth. Will it
be answered while the church is still on
earth? If not, then perhaps in his
own good time. Courtesies like this,
however, do tend to draw those who
are called Christians closer together.
