SECOND SUNDAY IN

ADVENT

The idea for this Sunday is agnin found in the Epistle. The subject brought before us is that of all the holy writings which have been written for the edification of Christians and especially the books of the Bible.

Many have made this Sunday the opportunity for speaking on Holy Scripture and ita revelation of God in our churches, and often donations aro made towards societies which exist for the translation of the Bible into various languages. The indiscriminate publishing of the Bible, which is the Haoilbook of the Church, is not encouraged so much as it was a few years ago, but whatever are our ideas on the subject, we, as Christians can still think at this time of our special commission to hand on God's Word to every ALE SENT TO FRANCE.

As the match went ther was scarcely any excitement, for, until it came to put ing, both men played with such coolness and precision that it reminded one as much as anything of a professional billiard match everything looked so very simple. 1
