A _ About 120 men of the 105 Regiment attended the First Methodist Church yesterday morning- when the Pastor, Rev. R. G. Fulton, preached a very interesting and thoughtful sermon ap- propriate tp the occasion. The church was crowded, and the service was al- together exceedingly impressive. in file absence of Professor Thompson, Miss Helen Smith played the organ in il manner that did her much credit and her services in this regard were high- ly appreciated. Mr. F\llton's subject was “A Patriot’s Desire," and his dis- course was listened to with the ut- most attention. "lt is not easy for us," he said. "to grasp the meaning of the statement. Like many other things we pass gllbly by them, not estilnat- ing their import, nor are we wrought upon by their grandeur." The preach- er here referred to a letter of the Rev. J. E. Davis, a Baptist minister who was dying of leprosy in the Lazaretto, Tracsdie. N. B. He stated that one reading the letter could form no con- ception of what the man was suffering. The letter expressed cheerfulness and confidence alld trust. He, Mr. Fulton, had come personally ln touch with Mr. Davis a year or two ago on ll visit to the Lazaretto and only by seeing the man and understanding the nature oi the disease could one place a true ea- timate upon the leper. So also we are unable to grasp the detail of what Paul meant when he said he was will- ing to be accursed for his brethren; his kinsmen, according to the flesh.

At the time of St John the Baptist’s coming the whole world- was plunged ill tile darkness of iniquity and sin. The Gentiles were given over to tile basest idolatry. They offered to their gods tile most absurd sacrifices, con- sidering them a virtue. The Jews knew nothing of the spirit of sacri- fice. There was no knowledge oi' God in the land. lt was to these people that St John the Baptist was sent to prepare tile wily for our Divine Saviour. lie knew well that unless they learned to conquer their passions they would not be able to listen to tile message that would one day be given them. " Conle apart, take up thy cross alld follow me." Continuing, his lord- ship said: “ This Advent season was instituted in order to prepare us for the second coming of the Divine Saviour _on the great Day of Judgment. when l-Ie shall come to judge the livillg and tile dead.
