Cottingham, Esq.. in Loving llemory of their Parents. Sunday, November 3, Igor, was a red letter day in the history of Christ Church. The old Church ,lias been removed from the old ,cnurchyurd to the Rectory lot, a \ large {amount has been built, new , indows of Cathedral glass have beetrput in, the interior of the Church has been entirely renovat- ed and the Church itself has been bricked; all this new work, the result .of. much labour and self- denial on the part of the Congre- _g~.ition, was dedicated by prayers to the servrco of Almighty God. The Chancel w a s artistically decorated with flowersand palms; the whole Church had a festive appearance. The singing was hearty and the choir, assisted by Mrs. Morris. of .llliston, acquitted itself creditably indeed. Hymns, Psalms and prtycrs were all specially selected and prepared for the occasron, and the sermon invited the worshippers to take a retrospect on the past, to trace the‘gool hand of the Lord in all His dealings With them individu- ally and as a. congregation. . :Rev. E. A. Langfeldt, Rector of St. Lukk’s Church, Ashburn- ham, :1 n d former Rector of Omemeeund Emily, officiated and preached both morning and even- ‘tug. As he was instrumental in bringing about the moving and renovating of the Church, the wardens and members of the Church honoured him by asking him to Open and rededicate the new Church. The service began with the singing of hymn 364 "O God our iolp in ages past." The opening sentences were : “EXcept the Lord build the house their labour is in vein that build it. Our help is in ,the name of the Lord, who hath ,made heaven and earth. The glorious Majesty of the Lord our (God be upon us. Prosper thou ,the work ofoar hand upon us, 0, prosper thou our handiwork. " Then followed the regular oflice of morning prayer, the special Psalms Wore 103. 121, 138. and thospecial lessonszjosliuah XXI II and St. Matthew XVI: 13-28. The choir rendered the anthem, "0 give thanks unto the Lord. " After the collect for the day, Rev. Mr. Langfeldt said the following dedicatory prayers: "0 most blessed Saviour, \Vho by Thy gracious preSence at the feasts ofdedicationdidst approve and honour these and such like religious services, be pleased so as to possess our souls by Thy presence, that we may be living temples holy and acceptable unto Thee, and being cleansed from all carnal and corrupt affections may be devouthy. given to serve Thee in good works, Who livest and rclgnest with the Father and the Holy Ghost. ever one God, world without end! Afmen “0, Most Gracious Lord, we acknowledge that 3 we are not worthy to oiitr unto Thee anyâ€" thing belonging to us, yet we beseech Thee of Thy great good ness graciously to accept the dedication ofthis Church to Thy service and to prosper this our undertaking. ReCeh e the prayers and intercessions of all Thy ervauts who either now or here- after entering into this Thine house. shall call upon Thee; and by Thy grace prepare our hearts to serve Thee with reverence and Godly fear. Fill us, we beseech Thee, with a deep sense of our unworthiness that so approach- ino: to 'lhy holy sanctuary with a n d Comingb~ :fore Thee with pure hearts, with bodies undefilcd and minds sanctifi d. we ma y always render a service acceptable to Thee through Jesus Christ, our Lord! Amen.” “O, (30,] without Whom noth- in: is strong, nothing is holy, ‘sanctify and build up these walls to Thy hor our and glory. Let the light. of Thy holy presence ever shine. upon them, and may Thv Holy Church, built upon the 'fot'inlatiou of the Apostles and PrOphets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Cornerstone, fitlv .. framed together and compacted by that which may joint sup- pli it, grow into an holy temple int eLo:l; Amrn. ” en followed the hymn 285 ‘he Church’s one foundation is so: Christ her Lord. " \‘f After this R_.ov Mr. Langfeldt, *5 4.. ' X ' Intended the pulpit, which is a memorial gift of the children of the Cottfugham family. on whose estate both Church and Rectory ape built. In dedicating t h e pulpit the reverend gentleman hid the following primer from the pulpit- “Blessethé Thy Fame, 0 Lordrlthatj inhath pleasesPThee to put into the hearts of Thy servants 3a erect t or p11 it in Whoa rid worship spend to ' “ of tw o of filly 1 Re' Dedication 0f llllflSl l substance, and accept this work it may be only because milling liu not them. their families and their of their hands. Remembenthcm conCerning this, wipe not out this kindness that they have showed for the House of God and the officers thereof; and grant that all who shall enjoy the benefit of this pious work, may Show forth their thankfulness by making a right use of the same to the glory of Thy Holy Name, through jesus Christ our Lord. ' Amen." After the prayer, Mr. Langfeldt preached the following Sermon, from joshuah XXIII ; I4, “ Not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord,)’our Cod, spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof." No one would wish to open the new chapter of the history of this Church, until he had stopped to traceâ€"in one or two of t he passagesâ€"tho way by which he has been led. And my duty is, jeshuah-like, to try to help you in the retrospect. Retrospect, indeed, like self- examlnation, of which it is a part, should be the- exception of man’s thoughts ; and never be but as an aid to prospect. But such an event as this, the reopening for divine service of the old Church, entirely renewed and enlarged, is an exceptional one. And God Himself says : “ Thou shalt remember all the way by which the Lord thy God hath led thee.” . Nevertheless, I know the danger andI speak cautiously. Forget- fulness is to the full as great a gift as memory. There is no attitude of God more kind and dear to us than that He forgets. “I will not remember." And life would be intolerable, if every memory pre- served its bitterness! \-V b a t should we do without the tonings of timeâ€"and the mellowings of agoâ€"and the oblivious of space ? What shall we say then 2 Shall we remember our joys and not Our sorrows ? Our yictories and not our battles ’ God's grace and not our sins? Let a ‘I be in propor- tion,sexpecting that the lights will be more than the sliadmis. it is a gracious law of our nature, that we forget our sorrows more than our joys. God forbid that we should infringe upon so merciful an enactment! But joshuah’s rulc'v.'ill be al- ways right. Remember in 11 ch more what God has done to you, than what you have done either for God, or against God. The great feature ofthe past in con- nection with yourselves and with this Church. printed upon it, in the largest characters. is faithful- ness, the Father's faithfulnessâ€"â€" God’s truth to His own engage- ments: “Not one thing hath failed.” But here an objection may at once arise. Some will say :“ But I have had failures : many failures; and sometimes where I had a right to expect and command successes.” And this thought may go further still: " Has God been always faithful to all His promises to me. 9 Have I not asked Him what Helios not given. 9 Has He given me allthest length, and all the comfort, and all the peace, and all the good results, that Ilcgitimately lookedf or at His hands ?” Now, as respects this objection, let me say this much. We are iv very poor judges of what is a failure, -â€"for a temporal failure may be essential to a spiritual success; and the failurcitself may be an actual part of a success, which success would not have been, unless the failure had, by , stopping one path, thrown us into another, where that success lay , and the discipline of the disap- pointment may have been neces- sary to the safety of the attain- ment when it came. Life is a book which can never be understood by reading One of its chapters. And those who have lived long enough to know, from actual experience and observation, that very few, when they look back upon a long course, ever regret what they once called their failures and their trials;while nianv regret. bitterly regrct, many things which they once called their prosperity. So that they have learned to place failures high up in the list Of “ the good things w hich the Lord spake concerning them.’ Nor must we forgot that, among “ the good things” promised. were effort, and en e r gy, a n d wisdom, and were not these gi\ en? And is it not because these Were given, and not used, that therefore the failure came. 3 for which fail- ure, therefore, you only are re- sponsible ? And consider yet two more t.hlngs It is only with promised things that we have to do. It is the “ good things which the Lord our God spake concerning u s. “ Faith has its province oulv within the promise. If you go out ofa promise you may have a general hope, but it is not faith. Now, I ask: “ Has any one distinctly promised thing not come to y.ou 7’ Have you ever yet once earnestly pray ed for any spiritual blessing. then waited for it, and that blessing has not some2 I And once more-if it hath not come, yet arrived.

Our Church ha been greatly aritatel with conflicting oplnlona; and opposite currents of thought hath made the hearts of men to swell with their crin- tending forces. But let us not forgot, that this in in the promise: " I come not to send peace, Hit a su’ord." In the midst of many distractions our Church has great tokens for good We have not separated one from anoth- or;aud our Church is whole. liver; auction of it is instinct with life and ‘ouergy. The number of Church» have grown with unprecedented rapidity over the land. All the menu of grace are multiplied.

One characteristic I am sure there has been in the history of God's deals logs with everyone of us in the past: we have been always in a system of beautiful balance -llie joys and the lorrows,tlie oncoiiru. -lllelll8 and the disammiutuients, the trials and the strength. the need and the supply have been in a strange eqnlpoisa. The whole Government of God has been compen- lutory. We all have had our dark passages in the history of our Churchâ€"and our individual life: our mysteries: our gnawing grief-known only to'our- solves , and tho heavy discipline of 3 Father's, hand. We could not quote Joshua’s uords if we hurl not. All those to whom those words were Ipukell had experienced, most painful- ly, the trials of life. They had wander- ed in a desert for forty years.

So that this is our argument: "Thou hast been our sucoour; leave no not, ueltler forsake us, 0 God of our ulvation." Let this new epoch iii the history of your Church and of ,vouuelvov as a congregation, make you more Ournesr and sincere in your Spiritual life, and with the utmost devotion to your Church may you do all then thing! that glorify God in Christ.

To commemorate the new epoch_lu tllo history of Christ Church, some mem- bers of the Church, had placed into the Church a Memorial Tablet, containing the following inscription: “To com- memorate the moving and renovating of Christ Church, Omeiiiee, during the Rectoreliip of Rev.
