LOCAL AND GENERAL NOTES: ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. Lord ErCLYN has resigned his appointment as a Goverr-or and member of th3 Council of the South Wales. College. The Cambrian Railways time sheet for July, An gust, and. September, of which a proof lies before -ns, will-contain several new trains, with alteration of times -for the existing services. Trains will leave Aberystwyth at 5.20, 7.45, 8.0, 11.30, 12.30, 4.20, and <5.0 whilst the arrivals wilFDe at 7.25,9.40, 2,30, 4.20, 6.0, 7.30, and 9.40. The out-going trains leaving at at 9.0 and 12.30, and those arriving at 4.20, 6.0, and 0.40 will be fast trains, stopping only at the leading stations. Under the serviceihe distance from London can be tra, veiled in seven and a half hours. At the Board of Guardiane, on Monday, Mr PEARCE the master of the workhouse, applied for the second time for an increase of salary. We are not advocates iorund-nly large salaries to any public offieiids, but we must in this instance remand the guardians that in Mr PEARCE they have an excellent officer, and also that he receives smaller remuneration than his predeces- or any master who is the head of an institution having- so many inmates in this or the adjoining coun- ties. As an instance of the master's care and dili- gence, we invite attention to the following' figures During the last two years the cost of in-maintenance was £2,219 13s 8d, while in the two years preceding his appointment the cost was £2,600 19s 8d, thus showing a clear saving of £ 471 3s. To lose the ser- vices of Mr and Mrs PEARCE would be most en- -fortunate, The charge of manslaughter against JonNDAvuss, pyffryn Arth, for having caused the death of DAVID MORGAN, an inmate of the Aberayron workhouse, by knocking him down when riding in atrotting-match,in public street in Aberayron, was on Wednesday dis- missed by the magistrates. Colonel LEWES, in de- livering judgment, said the evidence was so clear and explanatory that the justices had no hesitation in ar- riving at their decision. The gallant Chairman at thesamo time pointed out that there was no leg-al right to hold trotting-matches on the highway, and tliev might be made the subject of an indictment. Alderman D. Evans, who is a native of Llantrisant, Was on Wednesday elected high sheriff of London. A meeting of the executive committee of the North Cardiganshire Agricultural Society will be held at the Town Hall on .Monday, for the purpose of fixing the prizes for the ensuing show, appointing Judges, and -making arrangements for the show. The Directors of the Cambrian Railways paid their annual visit of inspection over their lines on Saturday, and sat down to luncheon at the Queen's Hotel in the afternoon. Some new carriages were run on that .1 1 t occasion for the first time. It is a gratifying fact that the North Western Company is now co-operating with the Cambrian, with the result that during the summer the distance betweeen London and this tow11 will be run in seven and a half hours. Mr BIRCHAK'S return shows that in his district Tregaron stands at the head of the list of paupers, the per centage being 2'2, Aberystwyth coming second with 2.3, Aberaeron following later on with 29, and Lampeter coming fifteenth. The per centage of paupers in the Aberystwyth union is lower than in any previous year. The Promenade Pier will be opened for the season, on Monday.when the Tyler Silver Band, old favourites in this town, will appear. It is Mr PALMER'S intention on Monday,when the Tyler Silver Band, old favourites in this town,will appear. It is Mr PALMER'S intention tc introduce fresh talent at intervals. The pier has just been painted and decorated, which adds greatly to the appearance of the beautiful structure, as At an inquest held some days ago at Portsea Is- land Workhouse, on the body of SUSANNAH JEN- KINS, aged -43 years, a sad state of degradation was disclosed. The deceased was the wife of a Mr JAMBS JENKINS, who formerly practised as solicitor at Lampeter. She had died of something bordering on Etal'ya tion. At the annual meetings of the Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire Baptist Association, held at Dre- fach, the amalgomation of the two South Wales Colleges of the denomination, and the establishment 1 of a theological hall at Cardiff, was recommended The Revs J. A. MORRIS and T, E. WILLIAMS of this town, was elected on the committee of the Llan- gollen College. It is stated that the" Liberal Club" has decided to present Mr J onN JAMES with an oil painting of himself. People are asking one another what Mr JAMES has done to deserve what, when merited, is a high honour,and a doubt exists whether it is a reward for services rendered or for services to be rendered. Is is supposed that the painting will prove a balm to Mr JAMES for the loss of the Aldermanic chair, when the Liceral Club, who now think so highly of Mr JAI-IES, were unanimous in favour of Mr PETER JONES.

Mr Wilson is one of the best.known and popularc omedians thatjhas ever visited the town, and his entertainments in the past have proved eminently successful. Miss Lorrison is an actress of splendid ability, and well worthy of her great reputation. Miss Maggie Newburn, Miss Eva Lillian, Miss Gertie Wilson, Mr Ernest Cave, Mr J.

jTHE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF…
THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES. The building committee, appointed a few weeks ago, met at the College on Tuesday, when there were present—Colonel Frvse, the Rev Principal Edwards, Mr David Duvies, M.P LIandinum, Mr Kutnphreys- Owen, Mr Stephen Evans, London, Mr Elks, Liver- pool. Mr W. Williams, H. M. Inspector of Schools, and Mr John James, Mayor. The meeting was called to consider how to proceed with the alterations of the College bmldsngs, and whether it would be possible to proceed at once with the completion of the building. Mr J. P. Seddon, the architect chosen by the committee, met the committee to explain his plans. An inspection of the building was first made, and a discussion followed, when it was resolved to divide the whole of the work into four sections. Section A will consist of the south wing—Let ween the Principal's house and the Castle grounds section B, the tower and parts adjoining; section C, the nc En- ished part under the roof of the north end; and sec- tion D the untmished part not under the roof in the north end, and at present known as the science de- partment. The committee decided to entrust Mr beducn at once with the work of preparing a new museum in the south wing on the second floor, and to make a new entrance from the outside, between .the two pillars at present in the examination hall, that is to say, between the present entrance and the south end of the Principal's residence. Mr Seddon is also to construct a suitable staircase from this en- trance to the now museum. By this means two larg? lecture rooms wid be secured from the room now oc- cupied as a museum, whilst the new museum will be alsjost twice ttg large as the present. Mr Seddou was also authorised to invite tenders for sections B and Gy so that very soon three sections of the work at least, will be completed. The finishing of section D has been reserved for the present, until a sufficient sam of money is in hand, a strong appeal for which wid bo made to the country at once. The women's hostel committee also met on the same day, and after considerable deliberation, with the assistance of the new lady superintendent—Mrs. Powell, of Liinfindiio-ib was decided to rent a furnished house for the next session, and Aberseldie j House, on he Terrace, was selected. These premises are occupied by Mr and Mrs Julian, and we can cer- J t,airily speak ot them m the highest terms as being most; suited for the purposes cf a hostel. Altogether there are twenty-six rooms, nineteen of which are bed-room?, aud the house is furnished in the most complete style. The house is a double one, and has all the requirements of a hostel, in addition to which Mr and Mrs Julian appear to have been most careful and choice in the selection of furniture, and we can -i honestly and thoroughly endorse the selection made by the committee. J We may also mention that the College was made a provincial centre for the matriculation examinations -i of the London University, which were held last week, when 22 candidates presented themselves. The ses- sional examination has also been held this week, the r sessien itself ending on Tnesday next. Mr Berry, of T the London University, attended asassistaut exam- Lne,Vau4 tte ses3io2Jiil examination was conducted i by Mr Howes, of Leeds, who examined the students in b.o ogy, &3., Professor Wilkins not being able to come to Aberystwyth to conduct the examination T viva. voce 111 consequence of his having on the same day to take the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at Ci;nbridge. The late Mr Pritchard, of Lianrwst, has left in his wid upwaros of £ 1,000 to the College, interest of T which is to be used a3 a scholarship, to be called the Pritchard Scholarship. Th3 late Mr David Jones, of St. James'-road, Liverpool, and Bryndedwydd, near Corwen, has also left the College < £ 5C0, to be used in any way the council may think fit. This gentleman has altogether left £ 5.000 to charitable objects, I amorg the objects benefited being £ 500 to educate vouiig- fnen for the ministry of the Caivmistic J Methodists in Merionethshire, £ 500 to buy books for J the Sunday school libraries in Merioneth, and £2,000 I to the Missionary S >ciety of the Welsh Calvinistic jl Methodists.

It in not the best things-that is, the things we call best —that make men. It is not pleasant things- it is not the calm experience of life. It is life's rug- ged experiences, its tempests, its trials. The disc-io- line of life i,'i here good and there evil, here trouble and there joy,. here roughness and there smoothness one working wdth the other and the alterations of tha-ong and the other which necessitate adaptations constitute a pm't of that education which makes a man in distinction from an animal, which has no edu- cation. The successful man invariably bears on his brow the marks of thp struggles which he had to undergo.
DEGREE DAY AT LAMPETER COLLEGE.
DEGREE DAY AT LAMPETER COLLEGE. SPEECHES BY THE LORD BISHOP OF ST, DAVIDS, THE Rev, PRINCIPAL JAYNE, COLONEL EVANS, &c. Degr-efc day, an event of 'considerable imycsr't-ance, at Lait-peter college was held on Thursday, when great interest was manifested in the proceedings. The number of students in the college last 'term was albert 140, and the number which sat for examina- tion. was larger than ever Before in the history of the institution, and a fairly good average suc- ceeded in passing-. The examiners were-— FOR THE B.D. Yetf Rev C. J. Vaughan, D.D., Dean of Llandaff, late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge; the Rev E, G. King,D.D., Lecturer at Sidney Ssssex College, Cambridge the Yen. C. C. Edmondes, M.A., TrinityCollege, Oxford, Archdeacon of St David's. FOR THE B.A. DECtBEB.—Tbe Eev E. G. King, D.D., Lecturer at-Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge; Mr R. T. Glazebrook, M.A.,F.R.S., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge Mr F. E. Montague, M.A., Fellow of College, Oxford,-Mid Fellow of Uni- versity Collegs, London; Mr C, H. Firth, M.A., Balliol College, Oxford, Late Prefessor of English at Firth College, Sheffield; Rev H. Edward Ryle, M.A., Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and Examining Chaplain to'the Bishop of Liverpool. The only gentleman who sat for the B.D., was the Rev J. T. Griffiths, vicar of Llanilar, and our readers will be glad to find that he was successful. The proceedings began by a procession being formed at the college in the following order Boys of the College School. Mayor and Corporation (robed). Collegians. Visitor, Principal, Professors, and Friends. In this order they marched to the Town Hall, where the business was conducted. The Rev Principal Jayne occupied the chair, and the hall was filled with ladies and gentlemen and residents of Lampeter generally- The Rev Principal Jayne, who was cheered on rising, said they would all agree with him that the day's proceedings could not open more appropriately than by a recognition, coming not only from the col- lege board, but by allassembled, of the renewed kind- ness of Mrs Harford and the owners of the Peterwell estate in allowing them the use of that hall (cheers). The kindness this year had been larger and more in- dispensable than usual, for they were indebted for the use of the hall not only on the present occasion, but also during the whole course of the examination which had been brought to a close that day, and but for that kindness the examination could not have gone on at all. Therefore, they would realise how sadly they were pressed for room at Lampeter (cheers). He then referred to the final list which had bean presented, in which there were a few alterations, but the altera- tions were on the side of advancement, and not of de- gradation. Two representatives of the board of exa- miners would address the meeting, and he thought he was justified in saying,and that they would authorise himto say,andhewishedtohave attention called to this point, that the courses and classes which were deno- minated "special" or "honour" in their list and public documents, had a higher character than the ordinary courses and classes, and the classes won in this course had therefore a higher value (cheers). He then read the following list of successful candiclates:- B.D. DEGREE. *Marsden, D. L- Grifiiths, Rev J. T., B.A. Longfield, T. W. Class 2. B.A. DEGREE. Lloyd, John Theological Honours.

For the Bates prizes E. M. Jones and Roxburgh were not eligible, because they were not born in the Principality. The Rev Principal said he should now ask the senior examiner, Dr King, whom they had the pleasure of welcoming among them again this year, and another representative—Mr Montague, a new friend who he hoped would be something more than a friend next year, to address them (cheers). Dr King, who was warmly applauded, said that he remembered Lampeter about 15 years ago, when he had the pleasure of leeturingthere during the absence of one of the professors, and it would be but a poor compliment for him to say that there had been great growth since then. In these days they expected growth, but the signs of growth he saw around him were very exceptional. He did not mean merely as to an increase of land, but by a steady progress from within. If it were due to a wave of interest in educa- tion which was passing over the Principality, that wave might pass, and leave them stranded with empty building. He urged that a steady growth could only be acquired, by steady working, which would command the respect of the outer world, and ensure unity among the members, Hs also urged, a more general study of Hebrew, Mr Montague also spoke, and said that he had seen with great pleasure the development of a special course of study by means of which he had every hope and reason to believe that it would become one of the principal if not have the first rank among the colleges of Wales. He urged upon the students the study of the English times, and the necessity to know the meaning of every word used by them. The Principal then delivered the Latin address, and proceeded to confer the degrees upon the successful candidates,who were presented by the Vice-Principal, and Professor Feltoe attired them in their hoods. All the students were applauded, while some received an enthusiastic demonstration, and were evidently great favourites with their fellow-students. The Principal afterwards called upon Colonel Davies-Evans, Highmead, who was warmly cheered. He said that it was but few words he should trouble them with he rose for the first time to speak in commendation of the establishment in whose honour they were assembled, and he stood there smarting under a sense of the greatest injustice, caused by those very gentlemen to whose honour he should like to pay his tribute (laughter). He then proceeded to state that it was only about an hour a.go that he was made aware that he would be any- thing1 but an humble auditor, and it was not right that he should stand there to act as a foil and throw a. more brilliant light upon their powers of oratory (laughter). But in ome sense perhaps they had done right in asking a man whose early profession had de- barred him so much from receiving the benefits of an early education, which they had done so much to pro- mote. As to that college, no words of his could add to its honour or shed a greater lustre upon the work it had done to this country but as regarded the collegiate school which had sprung up among them, very few knew the dreadful strain which was thrown upon a man in after life if he did not receive a sound educa- tion in his youth whatever a man engaged in, if he did not receive an early training, he laboured under a fearful disadvantage and that dis- advantage these gentlemen had of late done so much to remove (applause). He felt sure the boys of that school, when they grew up, would be the first to endorse his words. He then referred to the union which existed between the town and the college, and the importance which such an institution attached to the place where it was located, and concluded by paying his tribute to the principal and professors for the work which they had done (cheers). Principal Jayne having addressed a few words en- dorsing the remarks of Col. Evans, also urged the extreme importance for a thorough knowledge of the English language, because until that was accomplish- ed he did not think Welshmen could do themselves justice at the Universities. Something had been said about the increase of the college in numbers that had its advantages and disadvantages, and he thought it a grave disadvantage to gauge education- al success by numbers. They were glad to see an in- crease, as it gave them a certain amount of esprit de corps and self confidence a growth of numbers also meant financial growth, and financial growth meant improvements. That was only one side of progress, but certainly it behoved them, and the examiners to help them, to do their best to grow in quality. He asked them all to cultivate a habit of mind which gauged success by this means rather than by numbers (applause). It was a very well known fact to education- alists that in reckoning students at the various col- leges and Universities two rather different methods of calculation were applied. He then referred to the fact that at some of the English universities (Ox- ford and Cambridge excepted), one student who at- tended three courses of lectures would be counted as three riersons Oausrhter). Their college was "Ç>J;t-"rl with f40 members, and if this modern mode of calcu- lation was applied to them he believed their numbers would be going on towards 2,000 (laughter). He pre- ferred the old-fashioned method, according to which a man was a man and no more (hear, hear). He also said that some colleges admitted students as young as 15 and even 14, and if they actsd on that principle more than half the boys of the college school, who were not engaged in inferior work, would be counted as students. After a few further remarks, he con- cluded by saying that through the kind exertions of their visitor (the Bishop of St. David's) of the college they hoped to have the honour to welcome to Lam- peter, and Lampeter would have the honour to repre- sent the whole of Wales, the Archbishop of Canter- bury on the 15th October, that being his Grace's first visit to the Principality (cheers). He felt sure he was offering not only his own thanks, but the thanks of all who lived in or near the town of Lampeter, to the visitor for his kind exertions, and that they would all do their best to receive such a great accumulation of guests as they hoped to see present on the occasion (cheers). The proceedings were then concluded, and the pro- cession walked back to the college, where a well- sprved cold collation was laid in the hall. The Hev Principal Jayne presided, and among the guests pesent were the following — Lord Bishop of St David's, Principal Jayne, Mrs Jayne, Vice-principal Davey, Professor and Mrs Owen, Professor and Mrs Tout, Professor Feltoe, Professor Scott, Mr E. H. Culley, Mr Waik-r, Mr J. J. J. Lloyd, Mrs and Miss Harford, Col. Evans, Highnead, MrC. and Miss Lloyd, Waunifor, Miss M.

The Chairman proposed the toast of the Queen, and the Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the royal family, which was well received. The Vice-Principal proposed the health of the Visi- tor of the college. They all their knew him as the Bishop ot the college, and they were specially pleased to welcome him this year for the great exsrtiens he had made, and to which the Principal had already al- luded, to extend their bnildings and so extend their usefulness and influence beyond what they had even been before (cheers); The Lord Bishop said he was very grateful to them, and especially to the Vice-principal, for Hi. kind manner in which his health had been proposed and drams, It always gave him g eat pleasure to find himself witain the walls of that college, since every visit there reminded him of the many happy, and he hoped not altogether otherwise than useful, hours ?-!pe^Vin a nniversity 5 it looked to him like 1 a little bit of Oxford lit up at Lampeter (laughter) i He then humourously referred to the procession which they had that day seen, and in which the Town CGUJ.I1 figured so prominently, and went on to speak of the intended vwit of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was deeply grateful to the Archbishop for his 3 pledge to visit Lampeter, and to raise the first stone of the building, which he hoped to see raised in front ° £ i-i aiege)" waa ^rst suggested that the visit 1 should tal?e place on the annual degree dfiys but when the time drew near it occurred to him (the speaker) j how far it would be prudent for the Archbishop to 4 make such a promise. Both houses of Parliament would be sitting, and he might be called at any mo- 1 nient to tender his vote on a very important question J in which all the bishops and nearly all the clergy' and a huge proportion of Churchmen, were deeply interested. He therefore asked the Archbishop to be Kinu enougn to mention some day when the session would be over, and he had kindly proved to attend at the laying of the stones of the new building on the 15th October (cheers). With regard to these new buildings, his friend the Vice-principal had kindly spoken of what ;\c o ne' was his dear friend and brother £ 4-v^1S^hop of Llandaff who made the first intimation of this matler. He saw that large sums were sub- scribed by some people towards the endowment and sustenance of other educational instations in Wales which had already received considerable sums from the State, and which he (the speaker) had no doubt would do BDod Wnrlr in -I! < "0 "& \L.L'V.t.L «-J, GUU\A, lJ.1.1t;:i V.L Liandaff pointed out that it was the duty of Church- men to support that college, which existed not merely to educate men for the Church of England, but where a sound and religious education was given to loll all who entered its walls (cheers). He pointed out that this college was one of the most enterestinw institutions of modern times, and was distinguished from State-aided colleges, as it was a place of domes- tic education; its students either lived within its walls, or assembled within its walls, for worship and J for their daily food. Its governing I oiy also was in- terne, which was an advantage, because it was per- fectly plain that where the teachers were also the governors, they would have more interest ia the > work. He then alluded to his own connection with the institution, and to the harmony which existed between the governors and himself, and also to the several meetings which had already taken place to provide funds to supply the increased accommoda- tion, and expressed the sincere hope that other meet- lu"? to be held would prove successful, and that before another year had passed they should see the new buildings in a fair way towards completion (cheer.-). Mr Vaughan Davies, who was loudly cheered proposed the toast of the Bishop of St. David's and the clergy, and spoke of the appropriateness of the building wherein such a toast should be proposed and received. He also spoke of the many good qualities of their bishop and their clergy generally, and concluded by compling with the toast the name of Canon Cabel (applause). The Rev Canon Cabel replied in most suitable terms. The Rev Prof. Edwards proposed the Mayor and Corporation of Lampeter,which was replied to by Mr William Jones, Glandennis, the mayor. Professor Tout proposed the Examiners, and Mr Firth responded. Professor Scott gave the health of the Mayor of Llandovery, and Mr John Jones replied. Professor Walker proposed the new graduates, to which Mr T. M. Evans suitably responded. The Rev J. T. Griffiths, Llanilar. also spoke, trust- ing that the college would be prosperous in the future, remarking- upon the great importance attached to the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury. This concluded the business.

ABERAYBON
ABERAYBON PETTY SESSIONS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24tli.—■ Before Colonel Lewes, Major Lewes, and Mr H. T. Evans. THE ALLEGED CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER. John Davies, Dyffryn-arth, Llanon, was charged with manslaughter. The charge was heard at the May petty sessions, and adjourned until the 24th ult. when the accused again appeared. The evidence of the witnesses having been read over, the bench re- tired for some time, and on their return Colonel Lewes delivered the following judgmentIn this case John Davies, of Dyffryn-arth, in this countv is summoned for the manslaughter of David Morgan who was an inmate of the Aberayron poor-holise. From the evidence before the justices, it appeared that the deceased was a pauper, and had suffered from a partial paralysis for some years, which caused lameness, and that on the 14th March last he was al- lowed to go out of the poor-house into the town of Aberayron,-when and where a trotting match was held that during one of the races the deceased, with others, moved into the road or street of the town, and that while there a horse, ridden by the defend- ant, John Davies, ran against him and lcnockad him down, and when picked up, and for some time after he was in an insensible state. Having been immedi- ately attended to by a medical man, he was removed to the poor house, and after lingering twenty-three days he died. The evidence is so clear and explana- tory of the whole transaction that the justices have no hesitation in their decision. Under the Act of Parliament, and by section 43 of the South Wales Highways Amendment Act, 1878, (23 & 24 Vic. c. 68), the General Highway Act of 5 & 6 William IV., c 50, is incorporated, sec 78 of which provides that any person who shall ride or drive furiously so as to en- danger the life or limb of any passenger shall forfeit any sum not exceeding j85. In a town consisting of 1200 inhabitants it is obvious that danger to the pub- lic must exist by holding races in the streets, and the bench therefore instruct the police to summon anyone who in future is found riding in the town of Aber- ayron. Nor must it be assumed that any legal right to hold trotting matches on the highways exist, if they interfere with and obstruct the free passage of the public. They are a nuisance at common law. and might te made the subject of an indictment. Whatever right a rider or driver has to the highway, is shared in by children, or aged persons, or,° as in this case, by a lame man, who has not only a right to the road, but also to security to life and limb while lawfully using the public highway. Under the cir- cumstances of the case the bench feel that no jury would convict the defendant on the evidence adduced, and they therefore dismiss the summons. ABERDOVEY. The Observer is sold at Aberdovey by Mr E. Jones, Cambrian House. THE LATE CASE OF DROWNING.—The Rev E. T. Davies, vicar, preaching on Sunday morning from Acts 27, 44, referred to the sad case of drowning, and concluded his sermon in the following words :— There is no mystery in this world so insolvahlo as that ever-recurring mystery of death. I mean that strange purpose of God, as it seems to us, by which 1 one is taken and another left by which one is cut down in early bloom and in the midst of a career of usefulness, whilst others, who are old and who seem but to cumber the ground, are left to live on, That mystery has been presented to us during the last few days, in what one might call (only it is hardly a Christian word to use), its most appalling form, when i sober and steady young lad was so suddenly removed ( from a large circle of young friends, and out of the midst of family happiness, before he had scarcely seen seventeen summers. His death is and must be (till we know even as we are known") a very great per- ] plexing mystery, reminding us of those forcible words .n our burial service in the midst of our life we are .n death." The sceptic and the faithless will again ] 18k-" Why was this—how do you account for this sorrowful event?" I cannot tell. I can only exclaim, ] with St. Paul, How unsearchable are His judg- ments, and his ways past finding out." Or, as we ] have already sung God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform I He plants His tootsteps mtne sea, And rides upon the storm. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain." It might almost be more appropriate to remain silent this morning, pondering over that most powerful and solemn sermon which God has himself preached to us during the last few clays, in the sudden death of our young parishioner. Be still, and know that I am God," seems to be the utterance of the voice which now speaks to us. Another voice (which appeals more especially to the young) reminds us very forcibly of those words of the Prophet Amos, "Prepare to meet thy God, 0 Israel." Some of you, young people, may have been intimate friends and close companions of the deceased let me remind you of the perils and dangers of the voyage of life, and its uncertainties. Remember that He, the Blessed Jesus, is your guide through all, even unto death, and the Captain of your salvation and that when the storm is wildest, and the need sorest, His voice will cry to your troubled soul, as it did long, long ago, over the waves of Gennesareth's stormy waters, "Peace, be still."
