The first was the experience of divine grace which began during the week of prayer, 1889, and continued for nine weeks, when without any evangelist to conduct special services, meetings were held every night and one of the largest revivals in the history of the church was the result. Those meetings were held in the old chapel and to many that chapel became a hallowed place. The building of the new church, the second event of which he wished to speak, was largely due to the spiritual impulse of that revival.

Dr. Robertson related some incidents connected with the raising of funds and the building of the new church, and closed his remarks with a reference to the good fellowship between this church and the other churches in the community which existed during his ministry and which still exists and which he hoped might long continue. He referred to the inheritance which the church had received from its early members and hoped that it might be transmitted to those who come after us.

He exhorted the church to be abundantly faithful and closed with an expression of gratitude to God for the goodly church heritage. Rev. Robert Clements referred to a number of letters that had been received from former members of the church, but which the lateness of the hour forbade reading, and closed with an earnest word of exhortation for the future.

The music of the evening was of a very high order of excellence. Especially, fine was the duet by Miss McNett and Mr. Favilie, and the violin solo of Mr.

Carpenter, while the anthem was exceedingly well rendered, and the organ selections by Miss Halbert were much enjoyed. BASEBALL NOTES. National League Opens--Cortland Team Now Completed.
