ground near the southeast corner of Third and Walnut streets, was purchased from Caleb Way and Sarah, his wife, for church building. It was conveyed to H. Colesbury, John Miller, Thomas Webster and others as trustees. It was on this lot that the society proceeded to erect a house of worship. The building was added to and enlarged from time to time.

In the early days the church was lighted with tallow candles. They hung from the walls in little brackets just high enough to be above the heads of the people. Every fifteen minutes, the sexton had to pass all around and snuff them. The church yard of Asbury is a much neglected place, though some of the notab'e citizens of the city have been buried there. Among them is Allen McLane.

Tomorrow's work cannot be done today. The evils that assault now are the only ones that we can remove. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. None of the sacrifices were left for the morrow. Manna overgathered decayed.

The burdens of the present are weighty enough for our strength. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors: The forgiving spirit inflows in the degree that one forgives. Forgiveness changes our hearts, but not the Lord's mind. And lead us not Into temptation, but deliver us from evil: This sentence is accommodated to the unin-structed. James says, God cannot be tempted, neither tempteth He any man.

Every man is drawn away of his own lusts. Temptation gives the opportunity to make as one's own the powers of the Lord. Only by temptation can evils be removed. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, to the ages This acknowledges that all truth, good, happiness Is from the Lord alone. The kingdom of the Lord comes first, for all power is in truth.

The use of the truth gives power. When truth Is used, the Lord communicates His glory, in which are all felicities. Amen: This in a word expresses the fsrvant desire that all in the Lord's prayer be confirmed in us. At GreeniiiH Presbyterian Church. Fizst German Baptist Church, the Rev.

All nations and everyone who acknowledges God can join in It without scruple. Volumes could be written on its inexhoustible content.

Only a few brief suggestions can be given here. The Greek text cannot be literally translated into approved English, yet for the use here I will translate it literally from Matt. 6. Father of us, who (art) in the heavens; We are compelled by the English form to intrude "our' before Father. The first word In the Greek is a loving appeal immediately to the Lord.

Herein is the acknowledgment of God, and that He is our Father and Creator. A natural father will do anything for his child, but he ls limited in wis- dom and power, God is infinitely i loving and wise. He has all power. His love, wisdom, and power make the heavens (notice teh plural). All the blessings and joys of angels are I from his presence there.

He wills to send to the world the fullness of the i happiness in heaven. I Thy kingdom come: This asks i for the reign of divine truth, which is first essential to brine the world Into order and harmony. Thy will be done on earth as In heaven: This asks heaven's government of love. John that the will of God is that everyone have everlasting life, which is the life of heaven and the Lord.
