Sunday night. In the absence
of the rector, the Rev. II. G.

was conducted by the Junior
church composed of the young
people of the parish. Oliver
White read the service in very
respectable manner and the
Junior Choir, directed by Mrs.
G. V. Fowler, led the singing.
Judge w. A. O'Connor deliver.
ed an address on "The Trial Of
Jesus in its Legal Aspect" and
brought his legal training and
experience to bear on the ques.
tion in a learned and instructive
manner. He brought out the
illegality of the trial and con.
viction of Jesus in several points
and showed that the disappoint-
ment on the part of the COM
patriots of Jesus who expected
the Messiah to establish an
earthly kingdom, caused them
to bring about the trial and sen:
tence of Jesus and that the Ro.
man Governor, Pontius PLATE,
was moved by polical reason to
approve of the sentence and it's
execution. Judge O'Connor went
on to say that other great teach.
ers had similarly suffered unjust
prosecution, for instance Soc.
rates, Savanarola, etc., but that
undoubtedly the good of human
ity was advanced in the example
that these great men had set In
the world by their lives and
deaths. !.
The services will continue to
be held by the Junior church
until the return of Rev. Mr..
Smith in July. The speaker
next Sunday will be the Rev.
O. A. Smith, of the Congrega.
