Gibson of the Church of the Ascension, Toronto. The Pains-g wick-choir. of St. Paul s church pro-f vided the musical part andacquit-6' ted themselves creditably. The text for the" morning "service `was taken from the book .of Proverbs 12th Chapter and 27th `verse, The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting. The`! `sermon was indeed a deeply thought out discourse and rendered] in n u{..s.,.
