It seems to be generally understood that the period for the weekly vesper service is drawing to a close, if one can judge by the size of the congregation which assembled yesterday to hear the Reverend Dr. McKenzie. The service opened with the singing of Dyke's "Tune Alford" by the choir. Rev. F. G. Peabody then offered prayer, after which Mr. C. F. Webber of Boston sang "Be thou faithful unto death," a solo from Mendelssohn's "St. Paul." Dr. McKenzie delivered the address. He spoke about the wise sayings of Jesus when a youth and how Jesus at a later period carried on his trade of carpenter in addition to his religious work.

A man's occupation necessarily enters into his life, as his life into his occupation. But one must not let his religion be subservient to his daily work. Religion comes before all, and a man who is upright before God will be upright before men and need not fear for his success in life. A man's religious views enter into his daily work and determine, to a considerable degree, his character. Before all, a man must be true to God, and his earthly affairs will arrange themselves in order; just as a ship whose position is correct in regard to the sun, will assume a position correct as regards the stars, also.

In conclusion, "The Lord is My Shepherd," by Smart, a soprano solo was sung by Master Landon Fiske with chorus.
