Nature.

ZION CHURCH.

In Zion Church last evening the Pastor,

Rev. D. B. McLeod, selected his text from Prov.& 14-16; “I have strength. By Me kings reign, and Princes decree justice- by Me Princes rule and Nobles even. all the judges of the earth.”

We tenderly pay our tribute of respect to the memory of the best of earthly Sovereigns. Queen Victoria was both great and good. Sho reigned longer and lived to be older than any of her predecessors. Her sway was more extensive, over people and territory, than any other monarch, ancient or modern. She was the delight of the British people - “A jewel whose lustre was exceeded by its real virtues." Her death is lamented by all nations, notably so by the United _States of America. For the drst time ln the history of the Republic on the death of a foreign ruler, the flag was flown at half-mast on the Executive Mansion in Washington. This was out of respect to her Queenly character and not merely because she was a great ruler.

She reigned wisely and well. She

gathered up and clearly manifested the best tendencies and purest aspirations of her time-She was the living embodiment of what is most beautiful in woman- hood, and most enduring in the institu- tion of our Country.

Who can measure what she did and sudered during her long life? for "uneasy lies the head that wearsacrown." Yet we may almost say that the history of the world,for (B years is the history of the reign of Queen Vi xtoria.

We see the guiding hand of Providence

in her long, eventfui life. We see the value of early training. Much is told when wo saythat Victoria had a. goodsnothei-, the results of her careful training being evident from the time of her Bret memor- able appearance before the Councii, until that solemn scene in the Osborne Palace. January 22.

We are taught in :the text that the

source of strength is wisdom. Victoria was wise. She was a humble believer in Jesus Christ. She showed wisdom and prudence in all her acts. She did tho right thing at the right time.

From this text and others we learn that

civil government is a divine institution- for the benefit of man. Under the reign of the good Queen Victoria we have been blessed with peace and prosperity. She wasopposed to war except as a last resort. She was a follower of the Prince of Peace. We can see her a few moments before

ldeath, taking the hand of her grandson

the Emperor of Germany, and placing it in the hand of her son, Albert Edward future King of Great Britain and Ireland, . and Emperor of India, and charging them with her dying breath never to allow their nations to clash, and to use their influence to maintain the peace of the world. A fitting close to a most beautiful, and benoficent life. Let us follow Christ _ as she did, and where Christtis, there we shall we be also.

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

Rev.iR. F. Whiston in his sermon said I

Sixty: four: yearsi ago the announcement was made, “The King is Dead, God Save the Queen.” Last Tuesday night the cry wasreversed, “The Queen is dead, God save the King,” An interval of sixty four years the longest in great Bi-itain’s history. It is well for us tonight to cou- sider the power of a good woman's life. It is a wonderful thing, thejnfiuence of a noble woman; the power of her smile, the power of her conversation; the power of her devotion; the power of her kindness, there is no power like it in the church today, nor in the world. The woman who clothes herself with faith. knowledge, temperance, godliness, kindness, and love has indeed the adornmeuts of a pure, good and noble character. Victoria had them to a very marked degree. What she did for _humanity is the resultant of what she was. Woman has always iilledjan im- portant place in Gad’s vineyard. From the earliest times until the present. God hai made women his messenger of good and charity. Need I mention Esther and Ruth and Mary the mother of Jesus? Our late Queen was a messenger of God.

She was sent on a greatand gloi ious mission and in the fullness of time, her mission accomplished,she was taken from us. .

in the universal bereavement of thenation thata passing remark be made on the sympathetic attitude which has ever characterized the Catholic and Apostolic Church on all similar occasions. The Apostolic Church, to whose safekeeping was ;cominitted the deposit of God’s Revealed Word, well understood the terse and pointed answer made hy her Divine Founder when questioned whether it were lawful to give tribute to Cinsar;- Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are God’s,which Divineinj unction was further emphasized by the inspired Apostle of the Gentiles when he says;-“Let every

“soul be subject to the higher powers, for

there is no power but from Goi, and those that are, are ordained of God," and 8~8ain;-“I desire, therefore, first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men; for Kingsand all that are in high stations for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.”

These and similar expressions of Christ

and His Apostles formed the key-note of the Church's sympathetic mission, and permeated her every action, in all that tends to the temporal welfare of nations, and the cternalhappiness of their respec- tivepeoples. It is therefore only natural that she should feel deep concern over the demise of our good and venerable Sover- eign Queen, who for almost sixty four years laboured for the welfare of her people, and whose reign has been at- tended by so many benedcent acts of wise legislation.

We may well bear testimony to the

deep sense of responsibility which she always felt in the faithful discharge of the duties incumbent on her exalted posi- tion of Queen and Empress. and in the many trving vicisitudes which natui ally accompany the government ofa. world~ wide empire, she invariably manifested t-hat nobility of mind and soundness of motive which gave honour, stability and prestige, not only to her throne, but also toevery department within ithe compass of her Empire. Under her guiding hand has the;British constitution been to a great extent remodeled and developed according to the changed requirement of our times, and the heaven-born gift of liberty of con- cience given to every subject of the realm. The Prvgress made by the Catholic

Church during the years of her long and

DPOSDETOUS reign 8.1‘€ Sl1Ci'l 8.8 Indy C8.\1S€ us to return our heartfelt thanks to the Divine Dispenser of every best and per feet gift, and move us to pray for an in- creased continuation of the same. _We may call to mind the trying circum- stances with which she was ~obliged to

deavoured to prevent the restoration of the Catholic Hierarchy in England, and while her otiicial position obliged her to a step which she would gladly have avoided,persona1ly she frown- ed upon all such narrow views of demag- ogues and their followers. She had too much respect for that religion, in com- munion with which her respected mother passed from this world, to countenance any auch injustice to her Catholic subjects. Hername will be held in veneration and love for many ages to come. and will long serve as a model whereby the future rulers of the Empire may learn to gain the sincere love of their subjects.

GRACE CHURCH.

Joshua, 4:21. “What Mean these

Stones." After referring to the miraculous passage of the Jordan by the Israelitish people and also to the impressive memorial service conducted by Joshua on his arrival at Gilgal, Mr. McConnell (said that in connection with 'these important events, there are lessons that a.re pregnant with meaning to every British subject, at such a moment in our national life. Go back to that old scene enacted on the other side of Jordan and learn some- thing of the greatness, the power and the

faithfulness of God.

‘_‘The;-ie Stones l” With what sublime

eloquence did they speak to the multitudes of Israel of the mercy of Jehovah and of his out-stretched arm? Slowly the generations have come and gone since that time, but never in the march of all these generations, have there - been clearer manifestations of the

many parts of the world, a day when hundreds of millions of people are sorrow- ful. It is a time of the tolling of bells, of the draping of churches and all public buildings, of the muffiing of drums, of the booming of cannon, of the lowering to i half-mast of national colors, but is it all without the notice of the “Ancient of ' Days?" “What do these stones mean?" Surely something more that the mere announcement of the fact that from one of the palaces of earth there has passed away thc purest and most noble Sove- reign ever raised up by the “King of the Ages” to sit upon an Empire’s Throne. Behold the goodness and mercy of God in the long life of Her Majesty. Trace that life through the days of girlhood and womanhood, of wife and mother and Queen alike. Turn over the pages that have been written during the sixty-three years of her reign, and what a record of progress and advance and glorious achievement! “These stones” speak to us of thejnfluence of her court not only upon those more directly con- nected with that court but upon the courts of all the other nations of the world. They speak to us also of her ull. ` wavering trust in God. Go back to the days of her coronation and from that time down to the moment when she was summoned from the activities ofl this _earthly Kingdom into the glories and honors of the everlasting Kingdom of the ,Lord Jesus and we must note the{cont-in» nous exercise of the deepest confidence in God. These stones speak to us of the need of a justfear of G`od, of the certainty of death and of the realities of the 'world thatis unseen. Joshua designed that to the rising Israelites of other years these stones of that day should mean some- thing. What lessons of religion they would teach? Our children are enquir- ing to-day the meaning of the Empiro’s A sorrow and we shailiniss a glorious oppor . tunity if in this hour we do not impress upon their minds and hearts the lessons of loyalty to the British Throne, of devotion to the British Empire and also of a pride of country for which there is a

united people and of universal sorrow speak to us most eloquently and forcibly of the Empire’s future. In closing Mr. McConnell urged his people to be loyal above all to the King of Kings and Lord ofLord_S.` '
