CONGREGATIONAL SINGING
 AT FEDERATED CHURCH

h. my work as leader cf song in many great revivals and conventions throughout the country I have found dreath of congregational singing. Pastors Sunday school superintend- cnts and church workers everywhere say they have trouble in getting all of the people to take an active part in the various song services of the church and that these services suffer as a consequence This ought not to be SO for it is not the normal state of things The people can and will sing now as they did in the days gone by. With what spirit and religious fervor the people entered into their part of the service how wonderfully their hearts were prepared by song and prayer SO that the message of the gospel fell into good ground and brought forth fruit some an hundred fold some sixtyfold some thirtyfold.
 Sabbath evening at the Federated church a large congregation was as- sembled and the warmth of the peO- ple's greetings a comfortably heated atmosphere and how gloriously the old songs burst forth from every heart combined these made one think of days of yore and was the best service ever held under the Federated plan. The tenor solo by Mir. Henry Leh- fcldt was exceptionally we'll rendered. Mir. Lchfedt has voice of very fine quality.
 Much credit is due to Mrs. George James the efficient organIst. and Messrs. Johnson and Polet violinists. for the success Of these services.

The Game of Gon or Golf.
Golf, a celebrated Scotch game, al
most peculiar to that country, is played
with balls and clubs. The club is taper,
terminating in the part that strikes the
ball, which is faced with horn and load
ed with lead. But of this there are six
sorts used by good players. viz; the
common club used when the ball lies
on the ground: the scraper. and half
scraper, when in long grass; the spoon
when in a hollow; the heavy iron CLUB,
when it lies deep among stones or mud:
and the light iron ditto, when on the
surface of shingle or sandy ground.
The balls are much smaller than those
used at cricket, and much harder. They
are made of horse leather and stuffed
with feathers in a peculiar manner, and
then boiled. The ground may be circu-
lar triangular. or semi-circuiar. The
number of holes is not limited; that de-
pends always on what the length OF
the ground will admit.
