J Hubbard, M.A.. 8.A., of Palmerston North, conducted the service, ami in his sermon emphasised the need of a return to the belief in the Sovereignty of God proclaimed by Calvin. Proving from history that it had put strength into the blood of those who laboured for the good of humanity, he contended that this truth was needed to-day to strengthen the moral forces of righteousness and be an antidote to the superficial lives many were living. He pleaded for a greater reverence toward God and a faith in His .justice. Mie affirmed that come what may. God s truth and righteousness would ultimately prevail in the world although it may take long years and even may be the downfall of the present civilisation, with its wars, suspicion ami greed. He commended the work of the sturdy pioneers who had built no the Church. The choir of St. Paul’s Church rendered very acceptably two anthems. The church was very tastefully decorated.
