Opening Service After Addition and
 Improvements.

|
 Yesterday will be recalled as a memo
 rial day with the large congregation at tending the services at St. James P. E. church in the forenoon. The church was beautiful in it's new adornings and the addition given in memory of
 their mother. Mrs. Donald G. Mitchell Iby her children.
 Several clergymen who have at vari- ous times been rector of the church were present to participate in the ser vices, which were very impressive.
 The visiting clergymen assumed their Ivestments in the rectory and then form
 ed in procession which proceeded, led by the choir. to the main door of the church. The procession, which was wit messed by a large number of people,
 was most interesting part of the cer-
 emony.
 Bishop Brewster said in his remarks: "The rector desires word of greeting from men, and on my own part I ex- ltend hearty congratulations to the rector and you brethren of the parish lon all this occasion signifies. On the loL VI UutlG, tlllc ClSlln year Ol tu6 labors of my brother'in Christ, the pres
 ent rector, will be completed.
 These have been years of progress. There is an especial beauty on this oc-
 casion significant of the filial, truly lpious work in thus decorating the house lof God in memory of a departed moth Ter. One of the most beautiful pictures lin my memory is of this mother sur rounded by her children. She is gone but they rise up and call her blessed. The memory of those who have gone let us cherish, and talk to God about those |who are gone. There is no wall of sep Iaration between us and those who have gone. The memory of the just is bless led. We are not to leave them out of |our thoughts and prayers. These ten der associations of life-'Tis little we lmay do for the dear, forever and for Ievermore we need them.''
 The subject of Rev. Dr. Vibbert's discourse was Ultimate Cause of the Beautiful as Seen in Nature, in the Tabernacle, in the Temple"
 The sermon was one of rare excel- Hence, delighting all with it's rich store Iof beautiful thoughts. The communion service was holy service, an impress Isive scene not to be forgotten.
