men would realize that in toral purity was manifested at several of the leading places of worship in the city yesterday, and fn every case the dominant note atruck was the teaching that the duties o£ religion includes.the fullest and highest exercise of the duties of ckisenship At St.George's Church an equally timely but far sadder subject occupied the mind of Bishop Carmichael, who pald a tribute to the late Bishop of Huron.There were harvest festivals at severml of the churches, which still maintain this traditional feature of the church year.BISHOP CARMICHAEL ON DEATH OF BISHOP BALDWIN In St.George's Foren yesterday morning, Bishop Carmichael delivered an impressive sermon, in which he paid a glowing tribute to the late Bishop Baldwin ,of Huron.À large congregation was present.In the course of his remarks Bishop Carmichael referred to tha life of Bishop Baldwin as follows: \u201cHe always appeared to be Invested with the spirit of the Psalmist, \u2018heart hot within him,\u201d \u2018the fire kindling, and then his burning message\u2014trum- pet calls to awake to the value of the a2ll-sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the world through the death and Cross -and- passion of the Son of Gad, or noble cheering words of hope or comfort to Christi.n hearts, expectant, or downcast, as he pictured the final victory and triumph of returning Christ or great strong words of undying faith in the inspired Word of the living God, or tender pleading with souls far off from Christ\u2014O, do you not remember that man\u2019s heart hot within \u2018him, the fire kindling, and then the message of God, poured forth again and again from this very pulpit, with a force and strepgth and power that nothing but the spirit of God could bave generated.\u201cWell mpg the Church of God thank God for a ministry such as his, and as it remembers the faithful messenger lost in his glorious message, well may it.even in the presenea of death,- call upon the faithful to \u201cLift up their hearts,\u201d and well may the faithful reply, \u2018We lift them up unto the Lord.\u201d \u201cHe had \u2018fought the good fight.\u2019 he had \u2018kept the faith\u2019 through Christ the victory was his, he had passed into that real glory of the Lord which in life, he had seen as in a mirror in the gos- rel, he had entered inte that etate of being, where glory leads on to higher glory, until at last earth's child of God is made so perfect in union with Christ that be is changed into His image.More, far more, than the hush of death is in such thoughts, they carry with them a deep abiding sense of joy and of triumphant victory.\u201d : REV.H.PEDLEY CALLS FOR FREE, LARGE-MINDED BALLOT \u201cThe Right kind of a Ballot,\u201d was the subject of the sermon preached by I.ev.Hugh Pedley in Emmanuel church last night.Touching the Canadian's citizenship, æud the free government he lived under, Rev.Mr.Fedley remarked, it, Fie had been obtained atl great cost \u2018he fathers of Canadians had opened the way, and those who lived now were reaping the fruit They, it was, who laid the foundations ef the country and their descendants worshipped in its mighty walls.Because of all this it behoved gall citizens to see that citizenship was clean and honorable, and that at election time the right of ballot wus exercised manfully.To do this, in the first place, the ballot 1.ust be unforced, for when a citizen gave his vole, to do it right he must Coit freely, and under no campulsion of fear.There were many different kinds of compulsion.1t was possible to conceive a father saying to his son, \u201cIf you do not vote an I do 1 will dis- triherit you,\u201d and on that point a good rule to go by was that in the exercise of citizenship, a man should not con- Eder family &ffairs.Some men there were who looked upon their right of using the public franchise in a negotiable way.It was to be sold Uke a chicken on the roost.This was a condition of things that the people had to face.Wherever 3 purchasable vole was found, there was The venal vote became a temptation to those interested in elections Many cod men, cou a in other respocts, \u2018ere

of the Amerigan tyterian Church, for his sermon of last night, and taking his text from Proverbs xiv, 23, and IL Kings, x., 15, he + spoke of the going hand in hand of Jehu and Jehonaddb as a union of poli- ticlan and priest for the stablishment of righteousness.Such a union he said, was needed now as it was then.Whatever opinions \u2018might be entertained regarding the organic union of church and state, all would agree there was a necessity for the bri together of the farcey each Seperatély represented.There were \u2018great avils abroad, great organic wrongs for the overthrow of which the Church needed the co-operation of the State that could put in force its\u2019 iron will.And as the Church neded the State, the State need- - ed the Churéh.How desirable it was was elected to office in the \u2018state, was as truly a minister of righteous- noms for cod ses the man who he : 6 e Church: that men woul es Pact a \u201cLike as the election of men to office in the state there was as true a responsibility and as wacred a- duty as in the duties they might discharge in the Church, of Christ.Service in the state stood side by side with the wark of the -Church for the furthering of the cause of righteousness.Let not men try to separate their politics from their rell- gion: Jet them not think that one was to be kept on one side the street and one en the other.Let them understand the two were to be sacred and haly.and not.until then should we find the true ideal of national life and national \u2018service.If it could be realized by the électar- ate that religion and political service were one and the same, there would be many good results.The first, it seemed to the preacher, would be a deepening sense af the responsibility of citizenship; the second would be a demand for a higher standard of life and living on the part of these who accepted or sought possible office.Towards ate taining this, each should set his face against all that was dishonest, or unholy, or untrue.NEW CHURCH OPENED.Bishop Lerrain, of Pembroke, Ont., celebrated Pontifical high mass at the opening yesterday of St.Michael's Church, St.Denis Street north, the proceedings being alsa taken
