The work of theinhnster is to \win souls,\ aiid not only so of him, but of all Christians. No wonder that men of the world become absorbed i n temporal-things. The wonder is that the church does not become equally absorbed: The soul-win- ner must have have (1) a knowledge of God* and this is above all other erudition; (2) must be familiar with Christ,as a Sav- ior ;. (3) he must have perfect confidence in the gospel which he pwaches^many ministers fail for want of this; (-!•) he has a consciousness of an ever present Christ, who has said, \Lo I am with you a-lway, even unto the end;\ (:\>) if there- is a fail- ure of success, it is our fault, The soul- winner is wise in the use of means ; the world may be won, they can never be driven to Heaven. We must be wise in the use of the word of (Joel. We'should understand and profit by the power of prayer. Soulsare to b e Won in the,\high- ways\ of life, as well as through the \or- dinances. We should have a passion for soul saving. The soul-winner is promis-. ed a reward, \He shall shine as the stars forever and ever.\ The sermOn was full of pathosaiid beau- tifully illustrated. Many clergymen went away fully determined to prove the truth of the text. The service, closed with the beautiful song, \0 how sweet it will be to meet one another again.\ EVENING SESSION.

Oil Sunday morning Chancellor Havei), of the Syracuse University, otv cupicd the pulpit of the, Presbyterian church, preaching from Genesis 18:25— Shall not the Judge of all the earth do rhdit i lie first directed attention to the apparent inequalities among the human race, some having health while others are always sick ; some born in palaces and others outcasts ; one idiotic, another a geniiis. How wei-e these an- titheses to be reconeiled^-eould God be the impartial father 1 Religion, he said, was rational; we were to look these questions squarely in the face—they could be answered. Through the law of compensation loss in olio respect is counterbalanced by gain inanothei\ Man is not altogether the creature of circum- stance—his condition is determined somewhat by character. Christ is the light that lighteneth, not whoever may hear of him, but every man that cometh into the world.. God's judgment of us will be according to the opportunities we have, and in the future life we shall doubtless look back and count that gain which once we counted loss. The sermon, thoughtful and scholarly was also clear and simple iit stylo, pleas- antly delivered, of great power, and re- ceived the close attentionolthe audience. Rev. M. D. Kinney, formerly pastor of the M. E. Church in this village, preached in the evening, from Eph. 3:15 —€tf Whom the whole family in heayen and earth is named. He opened with the proposition that the family is a true type of the Church, and spoke of the Unchangeableness of the vital principles of the Christian religion;: though the Church is composed of different denomi- nations,, working by different methods, these have one common object—that of spreading the truth and of winning souls to Jesus; of the elevating and ennobling : influences of Christianity ; of the won-; drous character of Jesus Christ, and the; great and beneficent results produced by his life. He also spoke of Jesus as a friend, which topic he illustrated' by the following touching Incident: A deaf- mute in our village (Mr. John Chandler)^ who had never heard the voice of affec- tionj not even from mother or wife^ but who had formed this friendship with his Saviour, was asked when about to die if ho Was prepared, He replied in the sign language, with hands already stiffen- ing in death—\I have been talking with Jesus all the night> and aim not afraid to go to him.\ In closing,. Mr. Kinney predicted for the gospel most glorious triumphs, and made an earnest appeal to all who had not yet become members of the family of Christ to do so at Once, and thus secure a home with the re- deemed. It was an able and Impressive dis course, and was listened to with much interest by all in attendance. Services in the Mctplid Church. Rev.

H.Conklin celebrated last evening the 23th anniversary of their marriage by a reception at their resi- dence, winch must always remain among the pleasant memories of all who were so fortunate as to be their guests. • The rooms on the lower floor of the house were made beautiful by a tasteful arrangement of greens and flowers which met the eye at every turn, while a mar- riage bell of white and green was a very striking feature, of the decorations. With Mr. and Mrs. Conklin stoo# the Hon. John B. lliggins and Mrs. II. A, Brown, (sister of Mrs. C.,) of Oswe- go, who were groomsman and bridos-r maid at the wedding in 1850. In the supper rooms flags and flowers formed a bright bade ground for the temptingly spread tables, and a lovely effect was produced in one of the small- er rooms by a bank of mosses, ferns and : •red berries, which covered the mantel and fireplace. On a table in the back parlor wore some handsome silver, books and flowers, the gifts of relations and friends. Among the guests w - e.requile aiiuniber from Oswego, Syracuse [and New Yorkr; The|presenco of the Rev. T.A.Weed,who married Mr. and Mrs. Conklin, was a source of very great pleasure, and the happy address of congratulation which he read during the evening must have been as grateful ot them as it was inter- esting to us all. Indeed there- was no element Wanting to the complete success of the entertainment. The presence of so many friends from home and abroad was full assurance of thelove and esteem in Whieh Mr. and Mrs. Conklin are held by all who know . them. And may we add that we know of- none who more truly deserve friends, or bind them more closely with bands of affectioiiate gratitude than, our host and hostess of last evening. We believe one secret of their > own happiness to be '. the fact that they are always contributing in some way to the happiness of others. And many of us who enjoy their friend- ship and have experienced their kindness deeply feel the inadequacy of mere words to express our congratulations and good wishes for them and theirs upon this, me-* morable anniversary. Mr. Weed's address was a s follows : We Iiavi; gathered here this evening to ct>u- gratulatu ymi, my dearfriends,.u|ic>n this -twenty* fifth sumi-vci'sary of your conjugal union.
