one of unusual interest in the work
of the Pine Street Presbyterian
church. The pastor, the Rev. DR.

properly governed and organized, is
the ideal democracy. This subject is
suggested by the service of ordina-

at the morning service, when the
following men will be set aside to
this high office by the laying on OF
