House Furnishing Departâ€" The progress of the early days has been continued up to the present time. At no period was there stagnation. Not ours to measure the spiritual life, but question of the introduction of instruâ€" mental music into the service arose, then followed disunmion for a time the formation of a new congregation, the b uilding of the present church, having a separate pastor. Four or five years the two bodies ran side by side, the other party being ministered to by Rev. Mr. Forest. _ At last in 1885, the old harâ€" mony was restored, the first minister of the reunited church, (Rev. Mr Park having retired,) being Rev. R. McNair, who ministered from 1886 to 1891 when he resigned. Rev. A. G. Jansen was <alled in 1892 and continued pastor till 1891, when he resigned, and in the same year Rev. Wm. Farquharson, B.

He luced Dr Fletcher, who, not* Sunday Services ment on Second Floor lace. Prayer was the atmosphere cf the Christian life : a stranger to prayver a stra ger to spiritual life. To grow like the loving Savieur who reflected the loving Father‘s love, we must gaze up m his picture as presented in the Ssriptares by the great artist the Holy Spirit. Referring to the coming communion to follow the sermon. he called it a great example of God‘s love, ‘‘a sacred duty, a precious privilege, a great honor to observe the death and dying love of our Saviour." withstanding his 77 years, has pulpit power still, but more, he srrrounds himâ€" self with a gospel sweetness which draws men to him. _ His text was from John 15 : 9, ** As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you : continue ye in my love." _ It was a delightful sermonâ€" ette on the wonderful love of God, he saw nothing to compare it to except it be looking into the deep blue vault of heaven which is boundless. _ Not Only greatness, but a dignity characterizes God‘s love, it was * an everlasting love," it was unchangeable, not as human love, often capricious. This love was all around us and but for our own dark hidings, by remiissness of duty, giving way to temptation, &¢., would constantâ€" ly shine. _ Yet, theugh obscured by no fault of His, there was still a smiling A pioncer of the carly days and promâ€" inent in Sunday School work. JAMES BURGESS CHAS. WATSON Sales Dr Farqnharson then fittingly Inâ€" troduced the Knox College Professor of Homiletics, who, as was Dr Fletâ€" cher wasmaking his first visit to Durham. He toouk his text from IJ Cor. 1 ; 20 pointing out bhow a trifling incident of a missionary tour had been the vebicle ot conveying a great truth. God‘s promises to men are vast as they are important Man, everyâ€" where is incurably religious, everyâ€" where men look to the Divine, though in mauy sh.pes and ways. To inâ€" laying suen foundations by God in The pastor followed reminding the children they might have the privilâ€" ege in 1959 of attending the centenâ€" nial of the church when the present older heads would all be gone, Sunday Eyening Grand, Stately, Old Hundred was the opening piece and no anthem in the grandest cathedral could arouse more devout fectings than this fine old psalm, which is passing down the ages with â€" undiminished _ vigor. Those who can look back 40 or 50 years would perbaps desire to sing it slower than is now wont, but fast or slow it is a fine wellâ€"reasoned ex hortâ€" ation to praise the Lord whose mercy is cverlasting whose truth endureth to all generations. Miss Maggie Hunter contributed a fine solo and the choir, morning and evening were equal to the occasion with fine anthems, Dr (Gun for many years was a living force in Durham Presbyterianism, He excelled as teacher in the Bible class, and in this capacity will be long re» membered with gratitude. He was also a member of the Kirk session tor a number of years. every man, was a virtnal promise of better things to come and through the line of promises God is reclaimâ€" ing man, so it is important to be taught that *‘ all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him, Amen.‘ ing to make success. . After ..0 abundance of the good thirgs bhad been discussed, the ice cream, the strawberries, &o., adjournment was made upstairs, where in addition to Dr. Fletcher followed declaring himself an old boy yet. He had travelled in many countries but found none better than Canada. â€" Children must not only belp the shurch but God‘s cause eveywhere. _ He made an elcquent plea for them to be kind to animails, and captared the childâ€" ren by some amusing experiences of bis own. _ It was n bright little adâ€" dress, and fifty years from now some little one grown that much older may repeat how Dr Fletcher treated the boy who was abusing the cat. Througbout the Bible promises tempt us on, Christ is the everlasting " Yea " of God. God carries everyâ€" thing sweet and lovely of the Old Testament to a head in Jesus, and he expression of a desire for onr good was more forcible in a person, than in any other way. He closed by a feryent personal appeal. Exery one at some time must bave forced upon him the question *‘ Does Ged care for me, ‘‘ and the human spirit finds comtort in the thought tha Christ, the Godâ€"man, is the Yea and Amen of the father unto us. i 4i +2 Monday Evening * This was the crowning meeting of the series, strongly reminiscent in character, and with inspiring adâ€" dresses. Erom 6 to & there was a social tea and opportunity for conâ€" versation and reâ€"unions among old and young. The weather was again favorable and no element was Inc*k In addition to Teachers and Scholars a great number of older heads were present at the Sabbath Sehool gathering. Prof. Dr. Robertâ€" son, of Knox College had the princiâ€" pal address and his plea to the childâ€" ren presented with great earnestness was to love the church, and he reâ€" micded them a " church *‘ was more than a building, and he drew conâ€" parisons between our churches and heathen, Jewish and Mohammedan temples. _ Just as man has an inper lite not visible to the world so the church has a soul as well as the body. _ He urged looking upward and not being engi:ossed with material things. _ Men too often looked downâ€" ward seeing thegloomy earth instead otf the inspiring sky. He warned against misjudging the church and gave reasons why children should love it: it was the one institation that exists to make men better, it doesgood by providing a religious atmoephere, it provides a companionâ€" ship, a place tor doing good as well as getting good. He predicted there was going to be bad weather ahead ofthechurch and wanted the childâ€" ren to be true. Chbrist was the best asset humanity had for its future, His religion bound to become a world religion owing to its adaptation to men‘s needs. Christ is the unmistakable yea of God and through him also comes the ‘‘ Aâ€" men, ‘‘ the assurance and the fulfilâ€" ment of the promise. The church was again filled in the evening, a few from other churches fraternized, â€" Revd‘s Kendall, Droâ€" more, and McDonald, Dornuch, were present. JAMES GUN, M, D. THE DURHAM REVIEW The Afternoon. ONTARIO ARCH TORONTO Mr Farquharson had a good record as a student, vwas a thinker, and complimented him on a fine article on Calvin in last week‘s " Presbyterâ€" ian, "‘ which highly cultured men had declared was exceptionally good. These references to the pastor called forth hearty applause from the audiâ€" ence. The genial Drsaid he would say more if the wortby pastor wass in his study. Rey. Stephen Young, Clifford, a member of Saugeen Presbytery for 32 years and hence a contemporary of all Durham‘s ministers came next. e also brought grectings, but as he looked arcund on the roll of deaths ot his contemporaries, well might we say *‘Ourtathers, where are they ? He reviewed Mr Park‘s Garcer, at Quebec 6 mos. in 1857, for 6 mus. in township of Ramsay, assistant to Dr Bayne of Gait and supplying Knox Church, Toronto tor a time. He was oftener in Durham in earlydays when there was no railways, than now, change of bounds leaving Darham on the outskirts. HMe was in Presbytery when there was need to put oil on the waters, which separated for a time, but reunited again to flow in stronger volume than ever yet all in harmony. He then with minute fulness gave the roll of the dead and living minâ€" isters of the churches in the Presbyâ€" wry, very striking indeed it avas, and proving that *‘ we all do fade as a leat. "_ He urged them to make their church the most harmonious place to live in next to their home and true progress was assured. Dr Fletcher was here 51 yrs. ago, when Darham was a little village on a hill. He too had known intimately all the Durham pastors. He related some characteristic features, some Ur hieléner was here ol yrs. ago, when Darham was a little village on a hill. He too had known intimately all the Durham pastors. He related some characteristic features, some amusiog, of Mr Park as he knew him in his young days: one of the most cultured Christian gentlemen he ever knew. He travelled Earope with Mr Forest, Mr MeNair bad often ocen in his congregation, and Mr Jansen had been a resident otf his city and he testified as to his faithfuiness and genâ€" erosity. In a humorous vein he racalled early days and difficulties, sleeping in a strange bed with an umbrelia over him to keep him dry ! and other humorous incidents told so sweetly. He referred to the greatness of our country in an eloquent strain. his audience fairly captured and captivâ€" ated. He warmed up still more as he referred to the eall to arother country which came to everyone to give of their means to evangelize the world. A living church, he asserted needs money and the motive to work is found in a world needing evangelâ€" izing in this generation. The raiing passion should be love to Christ in order to be a fraitiul worker : the fretfal, _ faultâ€"finding, _ pessimistic Christian can never do good. " Take your depressions to Jesus, he will remove them and give the felicâ€" ities of life and we shall liye in perâ€" petual sunshine. " The hearty apâ€" plause that followed showed that the audience believed he had done just that thing, for no more sunshiny man ever spoke in Durham. The Choir‘s " Peace be within thy walls" came in most appropriately. Moderator MacNamara conveysd to the congregation the greetings ol Saugeen Presbytery. which was thanktul for the work Darham was doing, HMehoped the goideu birthâ€" day was a prelude to greater things. Old associations would well up as the past was reviewed, as the noble work of the pioneers in building schools, churches, character, was con sldered. Liberty came from their self sacrifices. We can buy pictures, books, art of any kind, but not old associations . to his deceased predecessors in the ministry in this town, and made equally warm mention of the only living one Rev Robt. MoNair. He rejoiced that Mrs Park and daughter were still with us, always a friend to Ministers, the possessor of a kind and helptal spirit. He had received letâ€" ters containing greetings and conâ€" gratulations from Rey John Smith, Rev Jas. Binnie, who both sprung trom the congregation, from Mr and Mrs Drysdale, Dr A. 8. Hunter. Afâ€" ter paying compliments to the printâ€" ers of the souvenir pampblet, issued from the Review office, he called for music of which the choir had exâ€" cellent store, and their contribution to the Jubilee was very material. Mr Sinelair‘s Solo ©Until the day breaks, &2. " was imuch appreciated. Rev. Mr Newton conveyed the greetings of his church, and wished them contisued progress. The work a living charch did for the communoâ€" ity could not be measured aad he hoped with material progress they would continue building up souls for Christ. The chairman thanked the people for the great interest shown, remindâ€" ed them occasions like these were helpful only as they stirred up affecâ€" tion and love, they made old strifes look small, lite had its sweet and bitter parts, but toâ€"night all was pleasant. â€" He made fitting reference The chairman made a sympathetic reference to Rev. Mr. Bice who had been there earlier in she eyening, but had had to retire. _ Also to Rey. Mr Jamieson, who was preyented by distractions of moving from being present. Rev. Mr Kendall of Dromore, fol lowed in a very able address _ He had bhad the pleasure in his boy hood of being a member of the Farqubarâ€" son home. _ In that home, presided over by the father of the pastor there was a little charch and Sunday School too. _ The character of the father was reflected in his sons.: inâ€" tegrity, Sintelligence and industry. " We can‘t forget the great army that bhas passed away.‘‘ and he too paid a tribute to the pioneers, Very earnestly though he reminded them that a cnurch cou}d not liye on the traditions of the past, it must be advancing, we can‘t liye in the past, Dr Farqubarson, Chairman, there was Dr Fle:cher, and Reverends baif a dozen strong: Moderator Mcâ€" Namara otf Saugeen Presbytery and Clerk Young of Clifford, Mackay of Harriston, Little of Holstein, Kenâ€" dall of Dromore, Matheson of Priceâ€" ville.

A vote of thanks to the visitors for the inspiration of their presence and inâ€" ’sIPi(ing words was heartily carried. he chairman expressed the great inâ€" debtedness to the cholr for theâ€"sueâ€" cesslal effort they had made to fit the sitnation, and Rev. Dr Fletcher moved thanks to the ladies for their essential part and this was heartily accorded. The choir sang " Gatherâ€" ing Home," the congregation sang ‘*Pray that Jerusalem may have peace and felicity," Rev. Mr Matheâ€" son pronounced the benediction and the oli)servance of the first Jubilee of Durbam congregation had passed into history. Rey. Mr Little aiso had known all the pastors and bore his testimony to their taithtuiness. _ He had experiâ€" enced a real joy in being present. The next 50 yeâ€"rs was now in their hands. They must stand firm to the trath, be loyal to the man who pre sents the message, be true and kind one to the other, and your shurch in its influence will be a beacon on a hill. _ The audience would have liked more from Mr Little, indeed from ail, there wasn‘t a weak speech in the evening. from Cleveland to psrtici?at.e in the Jubilee. The Dr. admitted they had planned their holidays for this. Though under another flag he was loyal to Durham, and, like all her sons, he felt ‘‘once a Darhamite, always a Durh»smite. we can‘t live in the future though we can look to it, only thefreoem. is ours : toâ€"day is the day of duty. He told a fine stoy to illustrate loyalty to the church, and hoped they ever would, as they came ere to worship, find in it a Bethel fo: them and their childgen, MrKendali paid deservedâ€" ly warm tributes to Mrs Farquharson in the gourse of his address.
