communication states that arrangements must be taten as a whole not judged according to each clause It must not be forgotten in fact that this agreement lias only been arrived at by mutual concessions consequently it must be criticised altogether and not in detail Regarded from this point of view the convention appears eminently satisfactory for both parties phar going a mile Thimble and Ardeshir

formed in September 1843 The church is a cruciform building of Derbyshire sandstone in the Lancet style situated in Moor Street in the centre of a somewhat bare and uninteresting portion of the borough a district however which is the centre of much good and cordially appreciated work The structure which lies north and south was designed by Mr Joseph Mitchell of Sheffield and the building of the church was the first contract undertaken by Mr Lilley of Ashby The most striking external feature is tho spire which is 150 feet in height and in beautiful proportion to the rest of the church Surrounding the building is a nicely-planted plot adjoining which is the Vicarage now occupied by the Rev Guest who has held the living since 1863 The first Vicar of the parish was the Rev John Moran His successor was the Rev Morgan who preceded the present Vicar About lo years ago during a severe gale the extreme top of the spire was blown down The damage was repaired at very considerable expense and the topmost stones of the old spire may now be seen in the Vicarage garden The Interior Coming to the interior of the building the roof at once demands attention This is formed of massive rafters and collars which are ceiled between with lath and plaster Tlie effect is very pleasing This style of roof was 10 years ago extremely rare but is now coming into fashion again for churches of more recent date Tho organ is an imposing structure placed a gallery over the north door It is a two manual instrument by Kirkland of Wakefield An extra stop has been added since the instrument was first placed in tho church In the skilful hands of Mr Graham the musical portion of the service is all that could be desired nlu The north porch was adik to the ciiurcn 23 and Sergeant Haywood 28 Tlie funds

Was Jesus Christ in the midst of our life? Again Jesus in the midst for power Vide Revelation 7 10 All heaven bows down before Him 1st Jesus Christ upon the cross one asks for pardon which is granted The same power of Jesus Christ is still at work among us Tli ere are some who come to church from Sunday to Sunday but never come to Jesus Some there are ho know him and come in the right spirit Where two or three are gathered together there am I in the midst of them The rev gentleman here referred to the subject upon which Canon Garratt would address them next Sunday he second coming of our Lord How that some would be prepared iothers would not receive Him and lose all possibility of repentance 2nd in the midst of the Some will be with him the others who might have lieen will be elsewhere Their perpetual absence from him might have been perpetual presence Many have sought a way' to heaven There is no access to God but through Christ Jesus 3rd Christ in the midst of the Church for joy for peace and for power The early church was not the church of to-day Corruption schism destruction have crept in Forms and ceremonies are driving out true religion We must guard ourselves against such things We must keep Christ in our church 4th Jesus Christ in the midst of the heart In the world we shall have tribulation But let nothing usurp his rightful position We must give our hearts to Him alone The secular business of modern life threatens to take the position which should belong to Him Turn out all that is in opposition to Christ It is easy to attend to religion for two or three hours a w'eek But this is not enough All must be given up for Him He must enter into everything in our life In trouble and tribulation He will be our every need And supposing we do not do all this what is our position? If such an one were to die to-day he would go down into an unseen world lost for ever without a shadow of restitution God forbid that this should be Jesus must be in our midst Let him take his rightful position Ecce ELLISTOWN PRIMITIVE METHODIST CHAPEL On Sunday a Flower Service was held in the Ellis-town Primitive Methodist Chapel when two sermons were preached by Mr Newbold of Moira

Gazette says It is regarded by every one engaged in financial transactions that Mr Hoolev will render the city an incalculable amount of good if he will only proceed to let the world know the
