Rev. J. Henderson preached, in St. Peter's Seamon's Church, from Job xix. 24-27; subject,-Job's crood and pro- pheoy. In conclusion, the preacher said -

During the past week we have been reminded that death is still busy gathering in the great harvest of souls. It spares none, old, young, or in the prime of life, when once it bag placed its cold bands upon them. And we know not who in the Co- lony may be the next called into the Presence of God. If we can enter into that Presence as he did, we shall be happy Indeed. Visiting him day by day during his illness, I could not fail to see the thorough confidence he bad in the promises of his Heavenly Father. Almost from the first he seemed to think he would not recover, but with him there was no fear for the future. He knew he trusted in a Living Itademar, who was his Way, bis Truth, bis Life. We can imagine the struggle it must be to leave wife and children behind, but with him the struggle was not brought into the foreground. In his calm and coutented faith he siretched forth to grasp the Hand of Him who would guide him through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and no his end was peace. Let us strive to call to mind some of his

Reason, logic, thought, are all pozzled, and we can but feel. We submit. We are evidently in the hands of a higher power. For ourselves, it is very evident that when we come to the real crisis of life we are per- festly helpless. As a few of us stood around the dying bed on Thursday evening, what would we not have given if we could have rendered any help. How we yearned to help the dying. It is human nature to try to help them even when dead. But we are perfectly-impotent. stronger than any mortal effort or human will, and we can only learn to submit. It is not an easy lesson.
