An axcalicnt dinner was provided iu tho basement by the ladies, on Saturday, and a tea an the Timing, both, or which Trar* well pit. roniwd. The opening services on Saturday- were conducted by Rev. Dr. Ives, of Auburn, N. Y., assisted by Rova. Messrs. Unswprth, Hobbs and Davics. Dr. Ives preached an interosjtingsermon from Romans. 12 : 1. " I beseeeh you, brothrcnv by the morcios of God, that yo present your bodies a living sacrifico, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable sacrifico." Ho pro-, coadod to make a practical application of tho words of tha text, and showed by, plain facts that roan cannot sin against ,God without feeling tho effocts in btdy aa-well as in mind. The wicked do not live out half thoir days. A happy state of -mind, hi illustrated, tends to physi cal health' and long life. God wants people to tako care of thoir bodies as well as their souls. We havo all heard of disembodied spirits, but he had not yet heard that any or all of them had ever dona any good. Tho apostle refers to the whole man soul, body and spirit, to be a living sacrifice. It was a great mistake that all God wants was the heart. Ho wants the whole man the intellect. The entire animal must be offered up, cleansed with blood! ~ We are required to come out to bo set apart and to conduct ourselves with a fooling of sanctity. Referring to the church, he said, it was a house to be sanctified, to be set apart for a spoeial purpose fur the purpose . of worshipping God. Here we should meet to consecrate ourselves to~God while we have physical strength pre- sent ourselves a "living sacrifice." We should .give our hearts to Christ early " Remember thy Creator in' the days of thy youth." Speaking of the early conversions of the most active christians, he mentioned that the aver age age of conversions of persons in the christian ministry was thought to be at about 1-J years. God honors those who early consecrate themselves to him. No Pian can serve two masters can't serve both God and Satan ; there was no middle ground. The sacrifice must be a "voluntary act ;' it cu only be accepted as we come in the nnmo of the Lord. We must render our service .in the name of the Lord. The Dr. then [proceeded to ejthibit the motive which impelled us to make sacrifices, to pro mote the happiness auil pleasures o< others. It should be a pleasure to givc,- especially so when there was a prospret of reaping a rich reward. It was but a n-ajauablt: sacrifice that was askedi ?>omc men say they have nothing but their health. Well, this is everything. What would many men worth thous ands, give for health ! He related a J number of incidents in bis own experi ence, where poor persons with nothing but their hands to depend upon for their daily braij were eager to make acrince in order to give money toward building .houses for the Lord. We should .ill cultivate a spirit of gratitude, and make reasonable sacrifice. Let us to-day reconsecrate ourselves to God. He concluded with the fervent hope that a gracious revival should spring up and that this beautiful little church should be the scene of the consecration of many a heart to God. The services having been brought to. a close, by singing and prayer, a large portion of the audience adjourned to the basement When an excellent dinner was furnished by the ladies of the conre- gation. In :the evening, addresses wero de livered by Revs. Messrs. Hobbs, of Acton, Wood of Toronto, Unswbrih of Georgetown, and Dr. Ives. The subject of giving liberally towards 'the building fnnd was the chief th_eme dwel t upon by the several speakers, prepara tory to a systematic appeal on the . fol lowing day. Collections were taken up at the close of each service, which we learn amounts in all to about $li50.

After preaching an eloquent 'sermon from Hob. ix: 22, he : made an earnest appeal for subscriptions to cover the balance of the debt on the church, before proceeding to its dedi cation. The entire cost of the edifice with necessary appurtenances was esti-.' mated at $7000. Of this sum only about $3000 had been provided for: by' the building committee.
