W. Johnston last night in the Brighton Club Rooms when he took for his text the language found in 2 Cor. 5: 1-4, “For-we know that if 0.11!‘ earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens." Mir. Johnston said that the usual interpretation plac- ed upon this text is that the earth- ly house spoken of here is our body and that when this earthly house is dissolved we shall get another one in heaven. But Paul was alive when he used this lan- guage and if it be true that the earthly house is the body, then it follows so said the evangelist that Paul had two bodies, the one he was li/ing in and another one in heaven than he was not living in, and that would prove that the one in Heaven that he was not living in would be a dead one. How absurd he said to believe such a thing. The evangelist then pointed out that instead of the earthly house here referred to being the body, the house that is to be dLssolved is the earth; for this earth will ‘be dissolved according to 2 Peter ii: 10-13 so he read. ‘The heavenly house is the New Jerusalem he said; for that is the tabernacle that Christ went away to pre- pare. and in proving this he assoc- iated John 14:14 with Rev. 21:2 emphasizing the word "prepared" also Heb. 11:16 where the same word is used. This is the house he said that was not prepared with hands. ‘The evangelist then des- cribed the holy city in heaven and said the dimensions given con- cerning it proves it to be a real lit- oral city. He read in Rev. 21:18, 1'1 of its being 12000 furlongs in cir- cumference and with a wall 144 cubits in height. Its street of gold, its gates and all such said the evangeist prove it to be a‘ literal place. Paul naturally desired this place in preference to the present evil world and even though this world will be dissolved by the fires of thc latter days he was assured of another and more enduring habitation eternal in the heavens. In further explanation of the tcxt in 2 Cor. 5:14 the evangelist spoke of the original garment of glory that enshrouded, our first parents in Eden. Sin deprivcd Adam and Eve of this covering and they discovered they were no longer clothed. Hence Paul in this text desired the restoration of this clothing and referred to the time in the future when at Christ's second coming which he said was the only time of reward as the time when he would receive im- mortality. Without that ‘immortal- ity man ls even now considered un- clothed. The artificial clothing one wears now is not the clothing that would have covered us hadl sin not entered our world, so said i would have not only covered the human family but even nature it- sclf would have refectsd the same glory as it did in the beginning and which wou‘d have given to nature the fulness of life. This will be restored said Mr. Johnston and the works of nature will no more decay as it has since the in- troduction of sin. In closing he emphasized the necessity of accepting Christ as the only means to bring about this re%ation. The gospel of Christ he said is the only panacea for all the ills of the world. On Wednesday night Mr. Johnston speaks of the "Origin of Christ- mas." “Was Christ born on the 25th of December?" ‘Tascinators"——tiny shawls worn over the head and tied under the chin—ha.ve returned.

VILLETT-BEID-On Saturday evening, November 23, I985, Miss Blanche Florence Vlilett and Mr. Alexander Reid, both of Chestnut Hill, Mass, were married zit the home of Rev. Robert Watson of the Brookline Presbyterian Church. The bride was charming in light blue satin dress and shoes and wore beautiful white orchids and had a. wreath of orange blossoms in her hair. Miss Hilda MacKin- non of Cambridge was bridesmaid. She wore a. beige crepe dress with matching accessories and purple orchids. Mr. John Mellin, Jr., was best man. After the ceremony u delicious dinner was served to the bridal party and a few immediate friends_by Mrs. John Mellin, Sr, of Chestnut Hill. The bride re-. ceived many beautiful gifts in- eluding china, silver and cheques. Several messages of good wishes came from abroad including a. telegram from the groom's mother in Scotland. The groom's gift to the bride was a beautiful wrist watch, to the bridesmaid a gold and onyx bracelet and to the best man en- graved cuff links. After dinner tho happy couple left by motor for a week's honeymoon in Washington and New York. The bride's trav- elling costume was a beautiful dark brown suit with top coat to match trimmed with racoon, and dark brown arczsories. On their REV. BR. LEGATE, The following is the text of an‘ instructive sermon on "The Delight of Books." preached by Rev. Dr. Legato at the evening service in St. James Presbyterian Church yester- day. II Timothy IV, 13 — "The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, being with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments." The scene is the infamous prison, the TiLlianum, on the Capitoline| Hill in Rome. In one of the sub- térranoan cells lies one who per- haps was the most distinguished prisoner those walls of ill-repute had ever confined, Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ, whose only crime had been the proclamati l of the Gospel of love. Grown old and spent in the service of his master, cut off from his friends, his vitality lower- ed by the rigours of prison ilisclp- llnc, and, so far as he can see, the prospect of death by execution not far off, he must have been a. down- cast and heart-sore man. To his joy, however, he has re- ceived word that he is to have a; visit from his young friend Timo-l thy, who was, maybe, when all is said and done, the very dearest and most congenial friend left to him. And, so we see him now, he is writ- ' ing to Timothy in glad anticipation of the visit. And in a post-script i this is what he says. if we might put it in our own way of speaking “By the way, Timothy, when the arrested me at ‘Irons, they would not let me bring any of my bel0ng-' inss with me. On your way through there ca'l at the home of our good friend Carpus, where you know I stayed, and there you will find some things of mine, my old overcoat, a few books_arrd certain manuscripts. Bring them all when you come. But if you should be over-loaded, leave the coat behind: but be sure to bring the books and especially-the manuscripts." I think that is one of the most adorable and most pathetic touches which we have in all Paul's exquisite letters. It was as much as to say “Though the return they will reside in Somer- ville, Mass.

One of the pleasantest plans, I think, in reading, is to follow the idea of the farmer and have as it were, a rotation of crops. This is, of course, the age of the novel above everything else. Today the novel has extended its scope in keeping with a widening world: it has ceased to be a mere entertain- ing tale, and the best class of novel gives the reader now excursions into ifmost every department of litera- ume. 1:. is well to remember, how- ever, that to conline ones reading to moves alone, or novels mainly, drugs the mind rather than stimu- lates it.

She was a bc- loved and faithful ‘rife and com- panion of genuine Christian char- find The Delight of Books, in the sense in which St. Paul and Pros- pero found it. No one has any excuse today for denying himself the delight of books. It is not now as formerly when books were only the perquisite of the rich and of the learned. To- day the paorest and uneducated has a key to the door of this garden of delights, for even if one’s purchas- ing power is limited in the matter of book-buying, we have at the dis- posal of ail, old and young, rich and poor, our very fine public library system with its lengthening book- shelves and its courteous and help- ful staff. How then may we, to the best advantage use these wonderful privileges? For some of us, of course, there must be reading, willy- nilly, reading in which we have no choice. Students must read certain books for examinations, and others of us must read along certain de- fined lines so as to keep ourselves abreast with the demands of our life's work. But we are thinking now of reading not that we MUST but that we MAY do. In order to maintain physical health we require to absorb certain food elements, chosen and balanced with cure. Just in thc same way the mind must have its correct dict if we are to function intellectually. One reason why so many people's outlook on life is of the single track or one-way street description is that they have taken no pains to select their reading.

Then. for enlarslns Ono's 11m books provide against the iack experience of life. books o! travel n other things, the sunshine that and adventure. the number and quality of which have at no time been higher than they are today. Then for culture, the refining of the nature, the clarifying of our ideals, the deepening and broaden- ing of our instincts of beauty and fitness, for all that, the reading of poetry and essays and plays. I sup- pose the least read form of litera- ture today is really good poetry: and I am sure that the world never needed good poetry as much as u does today. Life is the poorer the more it tries to exist on the dry bones of fact. Life without some free play of imagination is maimed and halt and blind. Poetry gives us truth and beauty like stars that never set, shining and flashing till they light up the innermost receses of the soul. And then, much of the delight of books depends not only on what we read, but on how we read- The manner of our reading is almost as important as the matter of our re ding. Careless, slovenly, slip- od reading is simply a waste of time, and is n0 compliment either to your author or your own intel- ligence. Any bocik that is worth reading is worth reading carefully. Any book worth reaming is a. book worth reading over again. Any book worth reading is s. challenge to your thought; and you only treat a book decently when you accept that chal- lenge. Really the joy of a book and the worth of a book are to be meas- ured by the way in which it pro- vokes you to think. A pencil and a slip of paper on which to jot down impressions on the spot ls one of the finest ways of getting the meat out of a book. Not- ing certain passages that strike you -reading them over again aloud- memorizing any striking or epi- grammatical expressions which you come across-grasping the tricks of the author's style, which is a fine! thing for improving your own man- ner ofspeech or writlng—-all these, contrivances admit you into the very heart of i' i (‘slight of books. A good book is r. gold mine, and you should never set out. to explore it without having, so to speak, your pick-axe and shovel at hand. It will yield its riches only in so far as you exert yourself to lay them bare and recover them. Handle a book gently, treat it respectfully, absorb it eager- ly, lay itdown thankfully, and you have come as near as you can come to the true delight of books. And my next suggestion comes closely on the heels of that. The delight of books is intensified by reading with a set purpose. To read merely in order to pass the time. or for diversion only, is to miss much of the delight of books. To read with an object in view, and to read so as to make what you read your own, renders the pleasure of reading indefinitely richer, the information gathered ever so much more useful. and the mental discipline involved all the more valuable. The more we put into our reading the more we shall get out of it. One of the most serviceable things which a good education does for one ls to impart this desire to read with a purpose. And this applies to all classes of books. A serious approach to a book, or to a course of reading on any subject, is half the battle in getting the greatest delight and the utmost help from books. i And. in conclusion, I want to say something of s further-reaching im- portance and of more urgent n10- ment than (Island papers clesse copy) withing I have sire slid“! have allied lfo other .

The discovery was made by Harry Burbrldge, Denver's gar- age proprietor. who was to have accompanied him on the hunting trip. _ According to police the body was stretched out on the floor Wm! fl- Baping hole through the heart. No one else was in the house at the time. The verdict of Dr. Elmfl’ 5- BBSYIBJI of Groveland, ‘medical examiner, was “agcldentfl death by firearms."

When St. Paul sent his message to Timothy did you notice the difference he made between books and books. That difference still stands, and will always stnnd. "Bring me," he said, "the books, but especially the parch- mcn .” What did he mean by that? The books he mentioned were possibly those he had gather- ed while he was a student at tho college of Gamaliel in the city of Jerusalem, and the collection added to from time to time, and maybe some of them the gifts of friends who knew his delight in books. But "the parchments" ho speaks of were something different. and, to him. something inefiably hotter, so much so that he charges Timothy to bring them abovc all else. They were the vellum rolls containing his Bible. To him there was no delight of books like the delight of those vel- lum rolls. My chief plea tonight is to one and all-do like Paul and seek your highest delight in the Holy Scripture. The Bible goes on where all the other books leave oil‘. God be thanked for the delight of books, for the charm they wield, for the knowledge they give, for the elevation of mind they achieve! But God be unutterabiy thanked for the Book which ls His message to the soul, which is s. light unto the feet and a lamp unto the path of all who read it with desire. It is a shame that there should be need to plead for the reading of the Bible. No one has seen the glory of books until he has ifllowed the Bible to lead him through the teachings of Him Who spake ls never man spake, till at length he has come to the redeeming cross where alone a man may find rest for the soul and the ioy of God.
