He leadeth me in the paths of righteous
nessu was the text from which the Rev..
John M. Hunt preached another very fine
sermon On last Sunday morning. I have
read that an eminent but rather vain
Scotch Divine having made what he con-
sidered brilliant pulpit effort in the
morning saw the old sexton walking in the
churchyard in the afternoon, and joined
him as if by accident He soon discovered
that the old man did not know him in his
altered garb, and he thought it good
chance to get an honest opinion of his SER
mon, so he said, THAT was fine sermon
we listened TO this morning, my friend
that was sound doctrine, wasn't it? !"
"Aye, aye sir" the man replied, lit was
all sound" But the sermons of the Rev.
r. NJ Hunt are not fall soundn they are
full of the pith that makes for religious
conservation and the beauty of holiness,
and show conclusively that the ''paths of
righteousness are the paths Of the right
way"
Next Sunday will, probably, be the last
service in the old church. It is requested
that all those, for whom it is possible, who
helped to build the present church shall be
present, and give their experience. 1t
seems wonderful thing that men should
be able to help build two churches fifty
years apart.
The Epworth League service was led on
last Sunday evening by Mrs. j. NJ Hunt
The topic was, "Doubt and Devotion. =
Mrs. Hunt is wonderfully talented
speaker, even in this age of women lectur-
ers, aud female orators. Her subject and
the examples given, were full of the ten
derness and pathos which cleaves to the
life of the NMan of Sorrow, and the in
donations Of her voice showed that she
spoke from the heart, and that her words
came from the depths Of living faith
