With-com- mendablo liberality, they" recently un dertook ' to expend a- considerable, monoy in puttiug their chapel in a much more comfortable condition of repair, and give it j a more attraotive appear ance l>oth inside and outside. Tho old benches have been taken out.and re placed by comfortable- seats of modern style, the piilpit remoddlcd,. and the whole iuside neatly painted and decora ted. The" old weather boards have been removed, and the outside plastered and blocked. With new doora and sundry- other improvements, the chapel now presents an entirely rejuvenated and really neat appearance.

After all had been satisfied, attention was called to the platfonh by the performance of a beautiful piece of music by the Acton brass band. Rev.

Mr. McGregor, of Georgetown, gave an interesting address on religions shams, remarking that the show and'tinsol of the present day was a religion of senti ment, not ofpiety ; and related numer ous instances of the ovil effects of. this giving way to too much display. Rev. Dr. Davidson, of Guclph, falici- tated and congratulated the Baptists of Acton upon the hanilsome improvements they had made on their chapel. He al luded to- the beautiful appearance of the village, iU evidently substantial progress, and to the fine .new churches aud excellent newspaper, as certain in dications of prosperity.
