Dr. McTavish closed a. splendid ser- mon with a; strong and earnest ap- peal for more faithful "work. In the early days of the church every disciple felt it a duty to tell the story of the gospel. I am afraid we are losing in vitality and also the spirit of propagation. Is it not a golden opportunity to be able to in- fluence a fellowman ? But the conditions are not all dark â€"â€"there are some encouraging signs. Good work is being done in the Sun- day school. The Laymen’s Mission- ary Movement is doing good work, and is bound to lead to other things equally important. John R. Mott, who knows more about church work than any other man living, says he would rather live the next ten years than any oth- er period since the world began. God has given us the last nation to make. Is it a. grand opportunity ? Will we make it God's country? In heathen lands there was never such an opportunity for spreading the gos- pel as there is now. the Christian church. With the mar- vellous increase of the wealth of our country, men are becoming fascinat- ed by the ever absorbing interest of money getting. Speculators are en- riching themselves in spurious values. There are a large number of nonâ€" churchgoers, some of whom are thoughtless, some indifferent and some openly antagonistic. Does it not give us food for thought when men will separate Christ and the church ? Is it a fact that we are los- ing sight of the fact that Christ is the foundation of the church ? More men are wanted for the min- istry than ever before, and fewer are offering themselves. Principal Gan- dier, writing in one of the Toronto Saturday morning papers, referred to an important reason when he said men refrained from entering the minâ€" istry because they would not work in a community with two or three other ministers, when there were on- ly enough peop,e in that place for one good sized congregation. The su- preme reason is the low vitality1 of I Dr. Mc'l‘avish took as his text Acts :9, 31â€"“Then had the churches rest ,throughout all Judea and Galilee 'and Samaria, and were editied; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied." On the contrary she is losing mem- bers. One of the greatest religious bodies of the world, when assembled in Toronto recently at a world con- ference, found that during the pre- ceding ten years their membership had decreased 400,000. If the figures for the other churches were available they would probably show the same state of affairs. In his opening remarks he express- ed the pleasure with which he was present on the silver anniversary of the building of the church. Since leaving Lindsay he had followed with interest the development and pro- gress of St. Andrew’s. There is also a pathetic side to the case. Many Yesterday the congregation of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church cele- brated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the building of the present edifice. The minister at the time the church was built was Rev. Dr. Mc'l‘avish, who preached both services yester- day. Large congregations heard Dr. McTavish at both services preach two excellent sermons.

IN THE AFTERNOON Shortly after twelve on the evening in question Mr. Moore who had been reading, was making arrangements to retire, when his terrier ran up to him, whining' and pulled at his coat.

He proâ€" ceeded to attend to the coal stove, when the terrier again commenced to whine more lustily.pu1"n~ at his garments and running towards the window.

Some people are like a water- soaked log and the church has to carry them along. “Good enough” is what ruins many a man's worth. Life is never weakened by sacrifice, but rather strengthened. Just as salt loses its flavor so our lives may gradually and imDEI‘Ceptibly lose that which tends to uplift and ennoble.

Dr. McTavish said he wished to point out the con- ditions of a successful life: First: We must gather inspiration from the past. We are the heirs of all that has been, the custodians of all the benefits accruing from 7 the past. Success is not always in a- chievementâ€"it is often in striving.

Principle of submission. Are we quick to resent any real or fancied wrong ? Third: Concentration of purpose. Do you call your sphere small when you can influence another life for good ?
