SELECTION FROM cANTATA
 AT PARK CHURCH SERVICE.
Sermon by the Pastor on Christ's
 Completed Life.

The special service on Good Friday morning at Park Congrega tionaI church was a beautiful and impress sive one and was largely attended. The music, which was taken from the cantata The Story of the Cross. was rendering, and the various solo parts well as the duets and other selec- tIcns were we'll given
 Rev. pr. Howe gave an eloquent ad- dress from St. John IS. 30, Jesus said It Is finished: and he bowed his head were spoken at almost this same hour of the day. They marked the comple. ton of his sacrificial work. There is something definite in these words and something very significant. Here is one life that completed his work Fl , finished his task to the very last touch Of Calvary and laid the basis of sal vation there His work is not contin- ucus. They err greatly who seek to complement his work. They must go back and accept salvation as it was finished by him. The prophets laid down their commissions at the foot of the cross. Here sin tolled out it's ut most of hatred and malice, and he drank the cup to the very dregs. Here he love of God was shown at it's fullest.
 These words were too a cry of vic tory. The darkness had passed now and the light of 8 redeemed and saved world appeared to him. The world was no more half heather aRd half Christian for it's redemption was ac- complished It is given to us to pro- claim this fact to all the living. It is times expected his comany and were now in a state of probation must also be told and Jesus himself went to announce this message to the dead.

For centuries, writes D. w. 0. Pagan in Chambers Journal they have been covered by the semi liquid peat until their branches ana crowns havt decayed and disappeared.
 Nothing but the solid heartwood of the mighty trunks remains, and these lie in orderly swaths almost as regu- lar as wheat stalks on newly reaped field. The thousand heads point all in one direction. as if the forest had fall CT under the sickle of some giant reap CT Like the branches and crowns, the soft Sapwood that once surrounded the solid heartwood of the living trees has long since disappeared: so in estmat- ing the original size one must make considerable addition to the present measurements. Many of the logs to- day show girth of over six feet and a length of eighty or ninety feet or straight timber free from knot or branch.
