Thanks be to Cad who giveth us victory through our Lord Jesu-s Christ- Some of us, many of lki. meet each other and exclaim what we have lost. My brethren, such a life as this is never a loss, taut a permanent gain to the Church in out m.i-dst. If you value a great gift to-day, but receive no sueJi gift to- morrow, you do not go about exdaiminy' thai you have suffered a loss, but rather think of the great treasure which you hold, and was given yesterday- You are thankful for the gift which you have jjeceived. Aud so our first duty with regard tOTikfi who li-as been removed from us to entar into the joy of his Lord, our fir.^t and pemiament, duty, is that of gratitude- The Church at Llajidiuino will bo permanently richer ior his life, his work, Ihiis liope, and his faith. And what else as tegards you ? Iiis visible pre- sence will be with us no longer, and many ex- claim "We have no man to take his place-" Tdioti if that be so, his life becomes now not only a.n exam pie, but a call to you. If no one can be found to take his place, then is this message, a call for young moti- His departure becomes a call for eiieth member of the Church to consider what is left undone in her sen-vice, and wha.t he or she can do to further the great work to which he so loyally devoted himself all through his life. Ha commenced in his early years his work in the service of the Church and to the very end, his great concern was how the work of the Church could be extended and more effectively carried on. The work of Church extension, which we lave und-ertakeii in this parish, an extension of the u I C hurch in which we are now worshipping, and the building of another church, which is becom- ing' increasingly needed, weie the matters to the furtherance of which he devoted his best thought during tihe latter months and weeks of his fruitful life- And as we consider the call based on what I trust is tne many revelations descending on his victorious life, we are sus- tained by the great IiiOfiefulness i-,Iltrich the Ohurch 'teaches us on this day. "lIe has ascend- ed uip on, high- He has received gifts for men." The great promise to which the icind of the Ohwrch today is surely to us a g'round of hope- The promises of tihe great head of the Church are not exhausted. The continual merciful gifts whioh are promised from on high is our consola- tion au-d our hope- The great power is inex- haustible, the gitts of Pentecost, for which we pray have not spent tiheir force, and as God in the early Church out of many calamities and losses continually raised new servants to con- tinue his work, so we, if we are true to our Church and believe in the promises of which her career in the world is a perpetual testimony that theiy are made good—we also to-day as we do looking upwards, may by God's love took to the future with confidence and with hope. On Sunday evening' the Rector made similar references at the Welsh service in St. George's Parish Church. b. THE FUNERAL.
