WHITELEY MEMORIAL CHURCH.

The »ervices held y. sterday were well attended and proved most interesting and stimulative.

Mr D wabury treated his morning subject; in a tailing and effective manner. The ie action of a coursj of sin upon tho sinner himself was graphically depliced, and grave truths driven home and exemplified by incident, history, and logic. In the couise of his remarks he gave a mnsfcerly description of the hopeless and regrettable condition which overtakes alike individual and community who adopt agnostic views. InciJentnlly a strong appeal was mado to the electors to see to it at our next election for members 6f Parliament, We should return men convinced cf the necessity and benefit of Scripture reading in cur public schools. In th« nftei'iioi.n, Mr Asbcroft'a service for young people was woll at- 1 tende:, ;>nt an appropriate address given th m. Tuk-ng for the younger tolk a Bud as his text, he traced its growth and development into a flower whose attractiveness and frtgrance was a fit emblem of what our character should possess. For tho elders the character of David the valiant and David the dutiful, proved happy illustrations whereby to press home useful lessons.

The evening sermon by Mr Dawsbury had for its bisis the suggestive dilemma, Drift or Quest. Eloquently treated, it deserves a more lengthy report than our columns will permit. The singing of the large choir present added greatly to the effectiveness. of the services.
