THE FEDERATED CHURCH, Rev. w.
F. Skerrye, minister; residence 26 High
, street; telephone. 1914. Please do not
fail to telephone the minister of any case
of illness or distress where his service
may be helpful. The Sunday morning
service begins at 10-45; the sermon topic
for next Sunday will be, Fundamentals
of Faith for the Modern Man; The
indispensable Factor in the Common
Task" A cordial invitation is extend
: ed to all. Here let no man be stranger.
"Whosoever thou art that enterest this
church, leave it not without a prayer for
! thyself, for him who ministers, and for
those who worship here"
9 Parents will be invited to present the.I
: children for the christening service i'm.

dren have not already been baptized, will
present them at this time. The child who
has not the prayers of the church in his
behalf, who is not reared to think of the
J church as his church, its people as his
people, and its God as his Father, loses a
precious wealth of experience. Sunday
school will follow this service, and it is
hoped that every class Will be fllled.
Religion fails to exert the influence it
might because it is not made to appear
more beautiful In one of the Psalms the
writer says: zone thing have / asked of
the Lord, that will l seek after, to behold

people ''offered themselves willingly in
the beauty of holiness" Scarcely need
it be said that if life in any aspect is
beautiful, this ought to be true of our
religious life. Young people too often
fail to be attracted by religion. 1t ap-
pears to them as unreal as the SHOWS of
yester-year, or the flowers of by gone
: summer. Possibly they are not as much
| at fault as we who are older. If religion
does not make the everyday life more
courteous to young and old, more patient
