THE CHURCHES

TO-MORROW’S SEIRVICES. Services at the Baptist Church tomorrow will be conducted by the Rev. C. W. Duncumb. The morning subject will be “The River of Life, Clear as Crystal”; that of the evening service, “A Sign Which Shall be Spoken Against.” The communion of the Lord’s Supper will follow. The services On Sunday in St. Mary’s Parish will be as follows: Holy Communion will be celebrated at St. Mary’s at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. (choral), at St. John’s at 8 a.m. and at All Saints at 9.30.

'The services in the Congregational Church on Sunday will be conducted by Rev. J. Milburn Stewart. Morning subject, “If”; evening, '“Human Hands, How Do We Use Them?” The anthem, “O Lord, Bow Down,” will be rendered by the choir.

The morning service in the Chalmers Church will be conducted by the Rev. P. Gladstone Hughes. The subject of the address will be “The Mystery of God.” A unique service, which .should be of peculiar interest to those of Scottish extraction, will be held in Chalmers Uhurch oh Sunday evening, when the Rev. T. W. Armour, of Knox Church, Christchurch, will conduct a service in braid Scots. The whole service will be conducted in the Scottish ‘doric.’ the language of Robert Bums, and will, doubtless, carry many a Scottish immigrant back to his Schooldays. In accordance with the simpler forms of the Scottish church in the earlier day, the praise will be confined to the metrical psalms, and the ‘kist o’ whustles’ will not be used, a “precentor” leading the singing. Mr Armour conducted the first service of this kind ever held in New Zealand at Knox Chufich, Christchurch, a little over a year ago, and the interest evoked has led to similar services being conducted at various centres in the North and South Islands, where they have proved rallying points of Scottish national and religious sentiment. The Rev. Harold T. Peat will preach at both services in Banks Street Me-

thodist Church to-rhorrow. morning and evening themes respectively being; “The Divine Helper” arid “God's Fel-low-workers”’ Anthems Will be rendered by the choir. Sunday School anniversary services will be held at Woodlands Street, _ a feature being singing by the children, assisted by an orchestra. The morning and evening services will be conducted by the Rev. H. L. Fiebig, and the afternoon service by the Rev. A. J. H. Dow. Visitors are cordially invited to all services. The evangelistic, services which are being conducted by Mr G. Menzies in the Hebron Hall, will be continued on Sunday night. These services have proved very popular, and have attracted large congregations. The subject for Sunday night will be “The Loving Kindness of God Shown in Calamities.”
