METHODIST CHURCH.

The services at the Methodist Church yesterday were in connection with the "World's Sunday School Day." The pulpit was occupied, both morning and evening, _by the Rev. A. Liversedge, ■and special hymns were sung at both services. _Two addresses were given in th 3 morning, one to children, and one to parents, and at night the address was particularly to young men and women, the preacher stressing the necessity for young men and women using to the fullest extent the advantages peculiar to youth. With maturity came experience and ripeness of thought, but energy, zeal and daring were the heritage of youth, and it was to young men and women that the world turned when work was to be done requiring these characteristics. To youth belonged the privilege of changing one's imini, but with age cam© settled convictions, and it was necessary, therefore; if the maturer life was to be of the best, that the mind should be trained along the best lines while it was susceptible to correction. Science taught that the brain of a person ceased to grow at thirty years of age and the speaker appealed to the young men ?£ women to use those thirty years to tne fullest extent in cultivating the mind in such a way that it would in the after yeans make noble men and women.
