Father Collins delivered the sermon at both services in St. Mary's church on Sunday, pretacing his re- marksbytherecitaloithestoryg! the edict issued by King Pharaoh of Egypt against the male children of the Hebrews and the prominent part Moses played in this historic inci- dent. The reverend gentleman minted out to parents the duty that was requir- ed oi them in connection with their children, and emphasised the neces- sity of good example being set for their guidance in the practice of re- ligious duties. The authority that should be exercised over them was also referred to as well as the other duties that devolved upon parents, and which were too often neglected. Rev. Thos. Snowden, of Janetville, occupied the pulpit in Queen-st. He- thodist church on Sunday. In the morning Mr. Snowden took his text from St. John 8, 29, ”And He that sent Me is with Me. The Father hath not leit me alone, for I 'do always those things that please him." Mr. Snowden delivered a very able sermon from this text, showing that those who did what was right and followed in the paths of righteousness they would receive God's. help and can live alone and have nothing to do with God shall fall into that dark pit, said the speaker. but the right- eous man, he shall be exalted. {circulation and the matter has been BAPTIST W reportedtotheDommIonpoliee st mmr.fievnmoc- Ottawa. ‘oupied the pulpit at both thermoe- Jammy. the subject at the mom- I In: sermon was "Religions Conquest" The Churches :32 53.33:?“ m I MdeWd Jexiohbtodowithmh modern Services field in the Vain: Ton times I mu m we principles in- volved here (3;: ere eternal.

The alignment of the numbering on the counterieit bills is also irregular. The figures showing the denomination of the counterfeits appear rather bulky. while the vignettes of Sir Edward Clouston and Sir George Drumm md are somewhat oil.
