Memorial Service.-Oc Sunday even- ing last, a memorial service for the late Mr John Morgan, Ballymacora, was held at the English Congregational Church. The service from first to last was conducive to help and comfort in the hour of bereavement. The beauti- ful hymns, Jesu, Lover of my Soul," "Lead, kindly Light," "Crown after Cross," and For ever with the Lord," were fervently sung by the congregation. The Pastor (Rev. W. Glandwr Morgan) choose for his text Ezcbiel xviii. 4 and 1 Cor. xv. 57. The subject was, In- dividual responsibility" and the "Chris- tian's victory over Death." In the course of his sermon, the Pastor said that the late Mr Morgan, who bad been a deacon ot that church for nine years, was very conscious of his responsibility in all he undertook. He desired to be thorough in all his undertakings. In his work in the Urban District Council. the County School, &c., be endeavoured to do his utmost as far as in him lay. He would be missed inBarrnputh be had identified himself with every move- .ment which sought to better the higher life of the town-they might not agree with him in many things, but still-he did what he could. It would be well for all to feel their responsibility in every connection of life, in the state, in the town, &c., for let them remember they were ultimately as accountable to the Author of their life. In these: days, when great armies of men die, they were apt to loose sight of individual respon- sibility, but every one must appear before the Judgement Seat. But the believer in Christ, in fnce of this responsibility, faced the other world with hope, be- cause Christ had died for him. And their late deacon (Mr John Morgan), when looking forward to the Great Un- known, and in, face of all the imperfec- tions of life, found his only hope in Christ, and these hopes were expressed by him (Mr Morgan) in the following verses :— PROFIAD AR GLAF WELY. 0 lesu gad i'm beddyw Fwynhau yn rhydd a liawn, Y rbodd a roddaist trosof Trwy ras dy ddwyfol iawn x Does arall allai wneuthur Y weithred rhyfedd hon Ond lesu mawr y Ceidwad Gadd bicell dan ei Fron.
