TOUCHING THE CLOSING OF THE YEAR, Revs. Dr. Macgillivray and G. A. Mackenzie Refer to the Past spire the Future. "Year<nd Reflections; The Cause' and Cure of Weariness in Well Doing,' was the subject taken by Rev. 3M. Macgillivray, in his evening sermon at Chalmers church, The text was chosa from Galatians vi, 9: "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in die season we shall reap, if we faint not." The preacher roferred to the weari- ness from toil; and stated that there was cheer and sympathy in the words of the text. 'There was truth in the saying, 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull hoy." Every business nto which a person entered was ome of speculation, and oftentimes a feeling of despondency came over people in work. The speaker had known a man who stated that he had kept the ten commandments for thirty years, and that his pockets had not been fill as a result. The man had been inclined to rid himself of the commandments in order to obtain success. This was a wrong idea: it was far better in the long run to have the ten _commanda- ments with one rather thah aeainst. By keeping to the commandments there was a better chance of getting to top and holding the transgressor down. The harvest wauld surely come. It was a very easy matter to find fault. One should look back at tee Past and see what had been accom- plished from a frail berinning. "Get inside your work and you will find a great deal to instruct and interest vou," said the speaker. It would be a good thing for all who employed help to have a small select library for the use of their employees, It was well that they should learn everything possible - about their busi- ness, and avoid weariness jn well do- ing. There would surely come the re ward for all this. Rev. G. Mackenzie, pastor or Bethel Congregational church, preach- ed at both services yesterday. His morning subject, "Some Old and New Year's Reflections," was a strong dis- course on the effect brought on man by serious thinking. Mr. Mackenzie chose for his text Jeremiah iii, 22 and 23. Serious thinking at the end of the old and beginning: of - the new year, said the « preacher, was natural to men. He recoived new courage. and if this was continued through" the year, our own boys might be creat men as an ideas would "hé sure to. come that would he remunerative in every way. Going on : the pastor described the position of the House of Lords and the lower house of England: to be in the former case meant the con- science of the nation, where the pros and cons were deliberately weighted and the Commons--where hasty thoughts were moulded into rash laws, without the interference of comscienee. The preacher's point was that we were apt to do wrong as the commons do, City Treasurer Irelgnd-+To continue to show that 4 man can live pegce- fully without a wife.

Sum- mer engagements the band filled well, and also gave eight open air con- certs, which delighted crowds, The management deserve credit in securing an excellent teacher in. Mr. Watson, His idea is to have the band play music as it is written; the boys are getting véry careful training. spring we will have the best band in the province."
