Richmond Eil],Ap1â€"i1 9th, 1896‘ Presbyterian Church Reâ€" Opening. th ruaci The Presbyterian church, after being thoroughly renovated, was rte-opened uu Sabbath. The Rev. Dr. Mc'l'avixh, of the Central church. Tux-auto, preached at both services to large congregations. At the morning service he preached from Acts xii and 31 2 “Then had the churches rest throughout all Juan and Galilee and Samaria and were edih'ed: and working in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost were multiplied'” After showing in the in- troduction to his sermon that the churches throughout Palestine enjoyed outward and inward prosperity after the early persecution had ceased. he went on to show what the church Ought. to be in order to curry on efiiciently the work of God. 1st. The church is not an aggregation l but an organization. A heap of stones, ‘ or a flock of birds is an aggregation; they have come together and exist without any moral force arranging or keeping them in order. In an organization there must be life in order to develop. and a power to guide and control. A plant is an organization. It has life and develops into a. thing of beauty. The family is an organization. It has parents to regulate and guide, children to obey. and all work for the common good. You may have an aggregation by gathering together a number of people. You cannot call that A family. No. A family must be born. So the Church of Christ is a living or- ganism begotten of Him, born from above, having His life and endowed with His power, and is set apart for His Work. Each member is a branch abiding in Him who is the true vine and bearing fruit to the glory of God. 2nd. The Church is not a. field but a force. The field is the world, the Church is the body of trained christian soldiers who march our to do battle against the enemies of the Lord. Too often ni'ofess- ing cliristiuns look upon the Church merely as existing for their own mutqu That any one cares for poor sinne sn't it; grand. the 01/1 rulearare benefit and for their sole existonce. They speak not (If the work they do in the Church, in that they have little in- terest. They have asitting in the church; for this they pay, but the work ! oh no! the minister and the elders attend to that. What would you think of a gener- al and his officers going out to battle and the auldiers saying, “let them do the fighting, we will luuk'nn.” Alas, too many in all our cluliches do nothing: but look on. Yea lhey sometimes criticise harshly the faithful few who are doing the work.

She shakes ofl' her winter’s lethargy and assumes a dress of lively activity. She is awake to the fact that when summer comes, a harvest will be looked for. She, therefore, so arranges her forces that no duty is ne- glected, no mistakes are made, and there- fore no disappointments are the result It would seem that in this respect, Spring is trying to teach us a lesson. For we commonly Welcome Spring as the season of pleasure and enjoyment. \Ve organize our foot-hull and lacrosse clubs, and prepare our pleasure grounds for a season of sport. We take long walks in the evening and seem to loathe the house because it is so pleasant outside. \Ve beat our streams for suckers or trout, or wait for warmer weather when the boat- Vt nc yth 111011 11 BIS mistakes 3 theatre: the s w heaven's would last minor, find in now‘ t1 1 out.

One minister had made the doleful complaint that tun- thirds of his salary came through the tea.- pot. “ Social meetings in Ihe church,” said the preacher. “,I am in sympathy with, there is nothing I enjoy more than meeting my people in a social way, but I consider that much of what is resorted to In our churches for the purpose of filling the Lord’s treasury, should be given up. The shop exists for buying and selling earthly merchandise; the church is the place of sacrifice, on its altar lay all you have, on it cunsecrate your gifts to God.” The speaker here feelingly referred to James and George Gordon, brothers from Nova Sontia, who went out as mission- aries to the South Sea Islands, and after a few years of noble self-sacrificing Work were murdered by the natives. In con- clusion the speaker counselled his hearers to be faithful in the Work of the church, ever remembering that their labor was not in vain in the Lord. In the evening the text was from Hosea ii, 14 1'5: “Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilder- ness, and speak comfortably unto her. And 1 will give her her revenge from them, and the valley of Achnr for a door .Vu, .-.. e. And what is that? In the first place it teaches us activity. For in what sea- son of the year does nature show greater activity than this? Everything in it Is busy. Trees and grasses, flnwers and herby, birds and insects, are all bursting forth to efforts of a renewed activity. Everything animate, whether inspired with plant or animal lite, is trying to tell us that now is the time to be zealous in our respective spheres. and yet on all hands we are making mistakes. We who are men and women think the warm weather suggests that we need rest. We think it is beckoning us to shady groves and cooling streams. We think it is telling us to flee from the heat and tur- moil of business life. and await a. colder day. We who are boys and girls (and this includes school buys and schoolgirls) think that surely more favorable oppor~ rtnnities for study and work will come. We think that unless we enjoy the fine weather while it is here we will never be able to eke out our existence, or will live to havs regrets that we did not lounge away the shining'hours of Spring. But what does this fine and hot weather tell us! Just this. That this is a. fine time for work and that We are in . s 1:: 7 L,rn, mL_L “"1”..- "A of hope; and she shall sing there as in the days of her youth and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.” The preacher said that in this chapter the picture drawn by the prophet of an unfaithful wife, illustrated the awful condition into which the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah had fallen. The people had forsaken Jehovah and had gone after other Gods, lavishing upon them the gifts so kindly giyen by Jehovah. Uu- faithfulness began in the heart, and was carried out into the life, and as is seen in the picture of the unfaithful spouse her love was transferred from her husband to other lovers, after whom she went spend- ing what was her husbands on them, un- til she was left helpless and degraded. v This, said the preacher, is picture of too many in our time whose affections are alienated from God and are attracted by the fascinating and deadly pleasures of the world. Many, like this unfaithful woman, leave behind them all the good influences with which they have been sur» rounded. and entering into sinful in- dulgences go on from bad to worse pur- suing their evil inclinations until even the pleasures of the world have no allure- mont for them. They become miserable wrecks, and forsaken by those who were their companions in sin, are left to per- ish. But God, who is rich in mercy, will not forsake the vilest wretch. Ho per- mits the unfaithful to so so far, and then he helps them around, brings them into the wilderness and there in loneliness He speaks words of love to the fainting heart. And not only does He speak kindly. but He administers to their wants, brings them back again to the right path and sets them on their way rejoicing. In concluding, God’s love as shown in the parable of the prodigal son was beautifully depicted and all were exhort- ed to accept of the love of God as offered in Christ Jesus. g to God’s cause. One minister had ado the doleful ccmplaint that [no ‘irds of his salary came through the tear )t. “ Social meetings in Ihe church,’ ing and bathing comgs. in short, we order our ln'es for pleasure in order that we may forget the cuufinemeut Contributions from the Schools. THE MISTAKES OF SPRING batlliu which winter’s cold and snow had forced upon us, and what does all this mean? In many cases it means that work is al- moat abandoned for atime. It means that sport is carried to excess; and, like many other things which are good in themselves, it becomes an evil when it exists in excess. Now, we would not leave the impre-s- ion that men and women, boys and girls, should refrain from all outdoor exercises when the sun hat; filled the air with balm and health. But rather let us impress the opposite idea. Take healthful exer- cise. Take a. lot of it. But when we do that, let us not beCome intoxicated with pleasme and so forget that we have something else to live for. In other words take a lesson from nature. Do as the greatest of modern Ffiench education- alists, Rousseau, tells us, “Learn what. nature has to teach.” )rt But what does (his fin-e and hot weather tell us? Just this. That this is a. fine time for work and that we are in the heat of life’s battle. That unless we improve our resources now, there will be very little fruit when the harvest time of life comes. For suppose that a. tree should refuse to develop its trunk and branches during the line days of Spring, what would it have to yield when reaping time came ? Nothing but dry leaves and withered branches. And so with us. Unless we take advantage of all these op- portunities of ours, We too shall, when summer comes, find ourselves sadly de- ficient. It will be ours to mourn that when the days were warm and fine we did not increase our store of knowledge as we should. Yes, if we think that be- cause this is fine weather it is not fine for working, let nature Correct our mistake. Then we sometimes think that because winter is just past, we are a long way from the coming autumn, and thus the results of our work will not he expected , for a long time. But here, too, we make a mistake. Look to Nature and she will correct it. For Nature is always active, and certainly loses no time in bringing its fruits to maturity. But no matter how active Nature is, she never is ready for harvest in the Spring, nor yet in the summer. Autumn is always fully here before Nature can fitly yield her fruits. And here's the application of this. Though we are as active as Nature, we Will not be ready for the harvest a. day too soon, and though we are maturing our knowledge with all poesible speed, that knowledge will not be too ripe when examination day comes.
