Shenill. of the r th odist church, took his text from 2d Timothy :0-7 1 have fought a good fight; I have finished my cotir.se; I have kept the faith, giving a ret respective and prospective view of Paul's life. Panl wrote as he looked backward over his work and life and to the future. Ho showed his moral nobility, his clear and powerlul logic, his zeal and eloquence set on fire by tie Holy Spirit, which enabled him to contend faithfully and successfully in the glorious light. He was con lident of the crown laid up for him, a ctown which awaits all faithful foIlovYcrs of God. The preacher made a strong eulogy on the char acter, power and work of Paul. At the Piesbyterian church in the morning, Rev. W. II. White's text was from Luke 16: 10 He t but is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. The text pro claims Christian loyalty and faith fulness in obedience to law. As the guard at the sentry box in Pompeii, who stood faithful to the end an I was engulfed in ashes and molten lava, so must the Christian lie faithful to divine law aud be disciplined by it as the soldier by military law. Breaking one law shows a disposition to break oth ers, as being laithful in the least shows a desire to be faithful in all. The tine Christian acts and woiks fiom love of duty. Be loyal be cheerful, kind, patient, unsellish ami sincere. Encourage and help icllowmen : croakers and harpers are among the evil things. "Love mi Here th long, love beareth ail things, seeketh not her own. tliinketh no evil, love never fail eth.'" May God inlluenee us to be loyal to every duty from the least tt the gieatest.
