SERVICES WERE
WELL ATTENDED
Two Interesting 8ermons Preach
ed in Congregational Church
Yesterday
The services were well all end
ed yesterday, the. pastor deliver
ing1 inspiring addresses both
morning and evening, llis text in
the morning was: "I will he as
the dew unlo Israel; he shall grow
as llic lily and cast forth his muds
as Lebanon."—Ilosea xiv:r>. The
preacher gave (lie outline of 11«»—
sea's life and the history of Hie
evil lime in which lie lived, con
sequent on the sin and idolatry of
the people. <!od had spoke of Is
rael as llis bride, I• 111 she had
proved unfaithful and lie sends
llis servant. Ilosea. In plead with
her In return ami lie would for
give her and receive her again
and lavish on her e\ery gift, lie
would be in her what the dew was
to nature-eopjous. refreshing, in
vigorating and as a result she
would grow in purity and beauty
as the lily. The eastern lily was
while as snow, an emblem of
purity. II always turned ils face
to the sun, but drooped ils head
as a sign of humility. So un
der the influence of the Holy Spir
it Cud's people would grow ill
beauty ami humility. Lebanon
was a mountain range running
north and south through Pales
tine and was covered with'great
cellar forests. These giant trees
had great roots which gripped the
mountain and sustained (hem
against the great hurricanes and
|storms incidental to a hot coun
try. Israel would grow strong to
resists evil and lo conquer their
opponents; so likewise with (Sod's
people today. Under the inllu
encc and power of llis spirit they
would grow strong in the best
■ principles and to resent tempta
tion and subdue evil.
At nigh I his I ext. was: "Thy
word is a lamp unto my feet ami
a 1 ikI)I iiiiI<> my palh."--Psl. cxix:
I 105. lie remarked lhat man's
Iil'«• was a journey beset by many
byways thai loud astray. II was
a voyage over a lenipeslous occun
Willi rocks. reefs. ami nipped
roasts. J low m-rdftiJ thru lo have

had placed in Ih«» heavens the orli
id' day lo give lighl and nalnrc
absorbed the superabundance of
lighl. wliich it gave forth by the
scientific inventions of man whicfi
we call lanips--the domestic lani|i
which draws for the sunlight
from the oil and illuminates the
iliifht is drawn as vapor from the
crystal coal, and the electric lam{)
which liberates the tcnrrcnl of
sunlight in dax/.ling whiteness.
He spoke oT the gigantic light
houses on the rocky shore; the
powerful seanr'h light on the mast
head, etc., as 'illustrations of God,
the source of all light anti knowl
edge, revealing Himself in His
word. The llilde was lamp,
guiding man in travels through
life, 't'h© warning liglit on I lie
rocks, rtlhe searchlight that pen
etrates And reveals dangers or
enemies; the cheering and help
ful light in the -dark places of
anxiety atvd perplexity.
He ended his discourse hv a
touching picture of the Christian
corning down into the dark, chilly
valley of death. With the sooth
ing light aiul hope revealed in
(Jnd's -word, illumining the valley
which becomes only the shadow
of death. The orchestra was a
great assistance to the harmony
of the singing.
