 Rev. James B. Aldrieh commenced his psstorate at the First NJ. k. church Sun day morning, preaching a fine sermon from Psalms 96: 6. Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. In speaking of the four most important things in a church service-scripture reading, prayer, sermon and singing-Rev. MT. Aldrich suggested that what appealed to most people was the singing. Many enthuse over singing as 1t thrills them, while there are a cer- tain few who do not care for the hymns. The speaker explained how very much he enjoyed hymns, especially the old ones.
