CL a-- An Able Sermon by Rev. Hugh Pedley--A Tribute to the True Woman Who Makes a Happy Home -- Industry, Con centration and Faith Neces- sary to Obtain Power. Rev. Hugh Pediéy, an eminent Mon treal divine, oecenpind the pulpit st both the services ~~ vesterday in the First Congragutionsl church. He is a speaker more than wsnal abili- ty, and it was expected that would draw the good-sized congregs: tions he did. His delivery is slow not so slow as to be tedious, but to a careful degree--his enunciation is perfect and ls words are full of pow- er, wisdoma and deep-rooted earnest ness, He is such a one as can hold an audience speli-hound, and send them away with the comviction that they have heard sopwething of value. His subject last pight was a broad one, "The Strenuous Life," his text boing 1° Corinthians ix., 25, "And every man that siriveth for the mas tery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible arown, but we an incorruptible." The phrase, "the strenuous life," which is closely connected with president Roosevelt, means, us we take it, ur gently, earnestly, pressing on. Paul's picture. was taken frown the drend, and wai therefore true to life. In Jall fife, whether on the college campus or elsewhere, we should consider: (1) The object to be gained; (2) the fit- ness necwssary to gain that object. 'Regarding the first; the speaker point. edd out that the old-fashioned view of life was that of pilgrimage. Bunyan embodied this idea in his "Pilgrim's Pre J While he hesitated to cri ticise one of the classics of sacred lit- erature, the preacher would say, how: ever, that there was in it a copspicu- ous failure of Christian ever having done any aet of goodness in his pil grimage from the eity of destruction to the city celestial; his only object was to get to heavyn, Power should be"sought after--pow- or for God, power for good, power to Jift wp the world. When God eally men he éalls them to power, as shown in the cases of Moses, of Daniel, and of Jeremiah. Christ, too, called His disciples to power. There were thrie ways through which we could exercise power : (1) Wealth; (2) intellectual re- source; 14) social influence. We may seek after money, not for its own sake, but for the good we may) do with it, A man ean recon his money into all that js noblest and best in human life, by helping hospitals, col leges, ete. Power of that kind is good. The power of intellect. There were great: possibilities for good here. There was power in professional and public life; there was wonderful pow- art, in personal beau- ty. in gracious manners, in the wo- man who knows not only how to fur: nish a house, but knows how to keep a home. The man or woman--especial: ly the latter--who has done nothing else than make a home that shall live in the memory of her children, = has certainly not lived in vain. A man can bear almost any sorrow or Te verse if he has in the background of his mind the thought of a christian home. The conditions through which we may win power (1) Faith in God. It was faith in God that kept Latimer, Cromwell, lord Shaftsbury, and Lin coln steadfast in their work. (2) Con centration. We must give up certain things in order to.concentrate our attention on one fixed purpose. We must get our mind down to one thing if we are to do anything worth while. One of the greatest dengers to young men to-day was the danger of diesi- pation of energy. They wasted - time over things of no value, (3) Industry. Tt was a law of God that a nian shall put in a certain amount of work or he will not get any power out of life. We commot dispense with "discip- line and bard work, "These together," maid the speaker in somming up, "make what we call 'the stremtious life.' ---- Back In His Pulpit' Again. Rev. Alexander Laird; the onteemed pastor of « Cooke's Presbyterian church, filled the pulpit again. yester- day, after having spent past «five weeks in Phi ia for the benefit of his health, To large-sized congre: jons yesterday he 3 force- Jee than his ald, time vigor, returned consid erably woproved in health, which is glad news to hia meny friends and admirers, Christian Assurance. In Bethel Congregational church, last evening, the pastor, Rev. D. N. it tell if ic L aX 138 sm it? Pecause God gays it, and His | word is sure and stendiast. Better to rely upon the hare word of the inv} finite God than to trust in ever chang ing feelings, The assurance of salva- tion is necessary to us all as God's | children in order that there shall be | shundant fruit in our lives and con | stant joy in our hearts. Wk ought to know of a surety that we were christ- fans ourselves before we seek to bring others to Christ. Following the gssurance that is ours ut a result of simply believing God's word, we bave the witness of the holy spirit with our spirit that we are the | children of God, and this conscious ness of sonship only wncounlessed sin can rob us We may for a time Jose the consciousness of being, chil dren and with it our christisn joy, bat we do not cease to be Goa's ehil- deen. Love for God's people, love for the things of God, is another mark wherkhy we may know that we are christians. J we are God's children we will hate Win. True, we may in an unguarded moment commit sin, but we will not be happy until it is con fessed and put away.

THE ELECTRIC ROAD. Promoters Will Soon Return With Full Plans. On Thursday, A. A. Dowd and J. FE. Smith, the American capitalists interested in the proposed eledtrio railway from Toronto to Cornwall, and George E. Rleeper, head engineer for the company, left Cornwall for Boston, after having made a careful study of the country through which the new line will run. To-morrow they will hold a meeting in Boston, and in ten days they expect to return to Kingston with plans fully developed. The company joe authorized county crown-attorney Whiting to advertise in the forty-seven different municipalities through which the road will rum; ac- quainting the peoples with the plans of the company and arranging for the agreement for the right of way, ete. The company proposes that its line shall follow the main travelled road, taking the south side thereof. In places where the space between the present roadbed 'and the fence is not wide enough, the company will pur chase extra land. It does not ask a bonus; it simply desires a free right of way along the highway and exemp- tion from taxation for at least twin: ty years. The road will be equipped for both passenger and freight traffic, and linking together, as it will, town and town, country and city, it will be a very great accommodation to the farmers and the villagers. Loeal men, who are interested in the company, tate that if the municipalities are willing to grant the little that is guk- od of them, the road will be an as sured fact before very long. that the Pomies Boston Capitalists Interested. 'Two Boston capitalists were in the city a few days ago, looking wp & site that would be suitable for a large summer hotel. R. J.

Revs. Prois. Jordan and Mae. naughton, of Queen's, Were the Preachers--Large Congre- gations Present. Services to wark the Gity sisth an niversary of its founding were beld in Chaluters church on Sunday. Large congregations were present moruing and evening. Rev. Pr. Jordam, of Queen's, was the preacher at motning survice, and his" discourse was on Pechariah ii, 1-5~the prophecy concerning the extension of Jerusalem without walls and the days Ww come of hlessing and peace. Dr. Jordan is'a powerful pulpit teacher, and his expo- sition of that old testament prophecy was most fmpressive and instructive. He showed Zicharish to be a pro: phet of 'consolation, preaching hope and comfort to the Jews after long chastisement. The young mah, lien tioned in the vision as going forth to measure Jerusalem, represented two great things characteristic of 'young men--hope in the future and desire of acfinite knowledge. HH a young man has no hope in the future, sa the preacher, ho is as dead. It in well for young men to start out, also, by wrying to be clear and accurate. ere the prophets words fulfilled ? that Jerusalem should be without walls and inhabited as towns. Ac cording to the letter--no; but in. the jeeper sense, the prophecy was fulfill x Dr. Jorden referred to the church as having dove a great deal of wall building through its many sects. It i surprising, he said, how many things fen can butler wally on. Hot-in these times they can well be done without, just as Canada and the United States need no dividing wall. The Roman Catholic church claims all truth, and walls itself about. But if you want to find the Roman Catholic church at its beat, vou'll find it where there are lots of Protestants. Ii you want it at its worst, said Dr. Jordan,go to the places where it has its own way and builds up its walls, Then there were the walls of caste even in this vemocrate country, He grieved over this, in a land where men should be judged by their worth. Walls can only be when you have God. Dr. Jordan sab that he had always taught young people a religion, not consisting of a strait jacket, but of living principles and reverence for God and their fel Plows. At the evening service, Rev. Prof. Macnaughton, of Queen's, preached a powerful sermon, which related chief ly to Presbyterignism. He claimed it was by no chance that those Beottish born and of that descent were Preshy- terian, Some people think they are at liberty to choose their own faith like a suit of clothés--take the one of the easiest fit and the fanciest cut. Bit that i* mot so. He could not imagine himself kissing a bishop's ring, whether by accident or not. His Scottish descent, woven into every fibre of his being, prevented that. Historical influences have made us what we are, and i we are born into the Presbyterian faith, and in young er days had its teachings inculeated into us, no matter afterwards to what extent we may wander sway from the fold, the general type and mola of our teaching will remain im penetrable in the soul, Here, a® olse- where, the child is father of the man: A man, unless for some 'Tmperative reason, will not turn bis back on the church of his fathers, Prof. Macuaughton made some plain statements about that vexed question ol the Confession of Faith. He show ed how in the middle of the seven teenth century it beosme necessary to say how it understood and interore- ted the weriptarves, so that there shoula be order in the church. Every church addressed itself to that task The Westminster Confession was meant as a subordinate help, not as a limit to the exploiting of the serip tures' treasures. It left room for the knowledge of God to grow. We do not and cannot bind ourdelves to every part of it, Prof. Macnsughton said, but we accept it an a valuable and helpful historical document, handed down from the past, and linking the present with the past. There is no- thing in it to drive us out of the church of our fathers, and there is much to bind 6s to it. In conclusion, the preacher cautioned Presbyteriaga to become free of all narrowness ana sull-righteousness, which the church was oft-times accused' of fostering The closing hymn, sung with vigor, to the old psalm tune, Irish, was most appropriate upon the annivers ary oecasion : ©) God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come. The mmwical part of the services was of the best.
