RESERVED LIST.
The General Assembly of 1872 recom- mended "each church to record, on a separate list, the names of those who have been absent for more than two years from their church relations, and whose residence is unknown; and · names thus recorded may be omitted in the statistical returns of the church." In case the Revised Book of Discipline shall be adopted by the Presbyteries this year, the following rule will be in force after June Ist : " If a communi-
cant, not chargeable with immoral con- duct, removes out of the bounds of his Church, without asking for or receiv- ing a regular certificate of dismission to another Church, and his residence is known, the Session may, within two years, advise him to apply for such certificate ; and, if he fails so to do, without giving sufficient reason, his name may be placed on the roll of sus- pended members, until he shall satisfy the Session of the propriety of his re- storation. But, if the Session has no knowledge of him for the space of three years, it may erase his name from the roll of communicants, making record of its action and the reasons therefor. In either case, the member shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Session. A separate roll of all such names shall be kept, stating the rela- tions of each to the Church."

Continued from page 142. REVIVALS IN THE CHURCH :
BY THE
REV. DAVID IRVING, D. D.,
I ask you, in view of this large number, and of a past teeming with mercies, could we justly do less than we have done for a building fragrant with covenant blessings, and to which are attached some of the ten- derest associations. All that has been done was demanded by the taste of the times, and it is in harmony with the true grandeur and dignity of public worship. The first Church that was erected stood over fifty years, and in that time was enlarged. The present Church was completed 64 years ago and was repaired and altered, in the manner known to us all, some 19 years ago. But for some time the Church showed signs of neglect, which strangers especially noticed ; and when they saw the neatness and beauty of our own dwellings, they justly said, "Is it for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?" The necesssity of some improvement pressed with increas- ing weight upon us, so that five months ago repairs were commenced, which have occu- pied the thoughts, efforts and time of the committee to whom the work was entrusted, and in the completion of which we are this day permitted to rejoice. And here in their name and my own, we thank you for the cheerfulness with which you have contribut- ed of your substance to carry on the under- taking ; for the encouragement extended ; and for the noble manner in which, as a so- ciety, you have come forward and extin- guished the debt. Happy, very happy, am I to announce that, though more than double of the amount originally intended to be ex- pended on the Church has been required, with a generosity worthy of all praise, and with a generous rivalry on the part of most to do what they could, you have either giv- en or subscribed the sum needed ; so that
I46
THE RECORD.
I am authorized to announce that no debt remains to disturb our devotions, to par- alyze our efforts in behalf of a perishing world, or to restrain the outgoings of love to the Best of all beings. And, whilst we regard the past as a pledge of your readi- ness to do what is required, to maintain the ordinances of the Church ; let me tell you, for your encouragement, that no man will be haunted with terror, and troubled on his dying bed, for the sums contributed for the support of religious institutions.
And here let me thank those who, with- out my solicitation, have reared and fur- nished this beautiful pulpit; and those young men who by their own efforts have placed on it this massive and elegant Bible and hymn book,-may its truths find a lodge- ment in your souls, form principles that shall render your lives full of usefulness and happiness, gild your whole future, and introduce you at last into the presence of that Saviour, who gave himself and his word to save, illumine, and purify sinners like you, that being taught of Jesus here and hymning his praises, we may blend our voices in the sweetest harmony, in that temple not made with hands, singing the song of Moses and the Lamb.
The whole interior has been changed. We see it in a new dress,-alike comforta- ble without distinction to every worshipper, and yet it is the same dear old building still. "May the glory of the latter house be greater than the former." That glory has been shadowed forth to-day. It was not in any outward splendor, or any archi- tectural display ; but in the wonderous manifestation of Jehovah's converting and sanctifying power. Its glory has been, that Whilst appreciating the solemnity of the occasion, let us now renew our prayers that God would fill this house with new and brighter glories, that it may be the birth- in refreshing times every pew has been fill- ed with a listening and interested audience ; and at other times the thoughtless have been awakened, and brought to the cross. place of new born souls, and that from it Its glory has been, that in the past it has done more than everything else to mould public opinion, and to create a healthy moral tone in the community. Its glory has been to send forth her sons and daugh- ters through the length and breadth of our land, to enrich and influence other places by the truths here inculcated and received. And its glory has been to stand up for Je-
sus, and to give due attention to the bene- volent movements that are blessing our earth.
And, in closing, let me remind you that something more is wanting than a stately building and the impulsive utterances of admiration. All that is now seen and priz- ed will in no way render our services ac- ceptable, fill this Church with the presence of Jesus, and you with the graces of his Spirit, unless the glory of the Lord irradi- ates it ; its lofty spire, its decorated ceiling, and the varied displays of comfort and taste, will all be in vain. God must be here : the Saviour must be here ; the Holy Ghost must be here, to make it the gate of heaven. Here oft repair ; here be regularly found as devout worshippers, and with hearts glow- ing with love rejoice in purchased blessings. And now, standing as a link between the past and the future, with the memories of other days crowding on us, with the rich legacy bequeathed by our fathers, and com- ing under the influence and prestige of scenes the most hallowed, and with hearts swelling with gratitude and praise, let us now make an offering of all that has been done and given to Jehovah Jesus, asking him to cause his face to shine upon us and to be gracious to us ; asking him to give us more of his Spirit, that we may oft sit with him in heavenly places, reflect in holy de- portment the beauty of his holiness, the constraining power of his love and the transforming energy of his truth; that the Spirit of Pentecost may sway and melt many future assemblies, and that through these aisles the loud triumph of Messiah's mighty conquests may be chanted in increasing vol- umes.
an increasing moral power may go forth to make glad the city ofour God ; so that when the house shall have disappeared, and time shall have consumed the labors of our hands, we shall be found in the heavenly sanctuary, forever adoring the hand that formed it, the grace that led us to it, and the Saviour who is the light and glory of it. Amen and amen.
