J. Hastio, who took his subject from John iv., 35 to 38. He urged Christians, when they sow, not to expect to reap immediately, and to keep always reaching Out a hand to others. In the afternoon an address to unmarried neople only was given bv Mr 0. E. Hamilton. He said that Ecclesiastes xh\, 1, "Remember thv Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not. nor the years draw nigh when thou Bhalt say ' I 'have no pleasure in them,"' was a warning note to men, and came from a knowledge of human nature and experience and as a revelation of God to men. Not onlv was this a warning but a sign pointing to things that are real. It was a mistake. he said, for a man to wait until he was plunged into some stormy nln-ce in life or nntil he ( came to the day of weariness or temntation before he be?an to make pro- . vision for the great troubles of life. The speaker pointed out a number of things which draw the young away from Christ. A duet, 'All, yes, all, T rive to Jesus.' was sung by Miss L. Morten and Mr J. P. Garmong. The subject of Mr Hamilton's sermon in the evening was 'The Conversion of Lvddia.' What the world needed, the sneaker said, was to Come out of rationalism and back to faith. Misse9 K. Sinclanr and C.
