CHURCH NOTES

Rev G. c. Wier delivered yester-
day two instructive discourses. At
the morning service his subject was
Daniel and he held out the prophet
as a type Of manhood which is very
rare in our days A striking point
made by the speaker was that al
though Daniel was a prisoner in Bah
y!on among heathens and heather
customs, he still retained his wor-
ship for the true God and did not
defile himself with the kings mea,
and wine.
At night Ruth vas his subject
and the central thought Of his dis
course was that Gods providence
was the pivot on which the story of
the Moabiters came to light. Gods
plan Of universal salvation was in
the story Of Ruth Us a Gentle. By
marriage to Boaz, she became the
ancestress Of our Savior, being the
great grandmother Of King David.

vice rendered fauitles. vocal 80
