Sunday evening a beautiful oue, tne sky being otar lit and ttie weather crisp and cold that church S-ers turned out lu large numbers. Wateli services were held iu several cnurches. It Was noticable that more lhau the usual attention was paid by the different denominations to the departure of the old and the advent ot the Mew Year, The Methodists followed their custom of heralding the New Year. At St.

Paul's Methodist Episcopal church watch meeting commenced at o'clock. Rev. Geo. C. pastor, conducted the services.

Much of. the time was taken up with song aud members giving in their experi- euce. There was a large number of persons present, who nearly all remained until the arrival of the New Year. Just before the old year passed out the pastor requested the entire congregation to get on their knees in prayer, rising again about a minute before the expiration of the year The congregation was dismissed and a general exchange of the seasons greetinjs took place. lu the morning Rev.

Rey. Dr. J. S. Kieffer took as his test "And thou shall call his name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sin." At the evening service his text was "Forsettirigthosethingswhich are behind." Dr.

Kieffer said "This is a time of thoushtfulness, self recollections and solemnity. Life is made up of remembering and forgetting. A systematic remembering and for- the result of wisdom and strength. There are a great many things to be remembered and that is tlie reason forget The point is we aught to remember what we aught to remember ind forget what we aught to forget. We would be loiided, almost crushed if we had to remember everything.

Wise men systematize. St. Paul was a wise man because he knew how to forget. Gud hiuiaelf is the great forttetter. What does he say? "Y'our sins aod iniquities I will not remember for- aver." How solemn a thing the past is- How solemn time as it flows into eternity.

In a certain sense wo cannot gt-t rid of the past and we aught not to. God knows how many mistakes we have made the last year. What shall we do about them? The best thing is to forget them After all may we not be better men and women by these mistakes. The wise man is not one who has not made mistakes. God help those who do not make mistakes.

Lrt us not grieve over the past. Friends it is a dangerous thing to do. There are things worse than mistakes--sins. There has been many violations of Gods command. If we repent them let us forget them.

Let us not only forget our bad deeds, but onr good deeds. They are not good to rest on. The man who is constantly remembering the good deeds he has done, benevolence here and charity there, has not many good deeds to remember. Don't think of the past, we have got as much as we can do with the present and the future. Let us forget wrongs, incivilities, discourtesies and Wounds are often nninten- nary occupied the pulpit of St.

James Reformed church, Leitersburg, Sunday morning. Services will be held each night this week at the Reformed church, Cavetown, by Rev. C. A. Santee.
