ADDITIONAL CLILATKA SOCIITY.-00 Sunday last efforts
were made at St. Mare's Church, in behalf of this
society. In the morning the sermon was preached by the
Rev. W. Clifford, organising secretary, who took for his
text Isaiah xii. 1 "Therefore with joy ehall ye draw
water out of the wells of salvation." The preacher
referred to the blessings of water : In this country where
it 111.11 On plentiful we did not value it es did those who
lived where a supply of it was on difficult b. obtain. This
emblem was therefore often used in the Old and New
Testament to denote anything of sable, and in the present
instance it meant without &edit the precintie gift of Cod
—the gospel—which, where once believed and acted upon,
supplied every need both for time and eternity. Our
Saviour WM the life giving water, and the various means
used for the epees,' of Christ's Kiagdom were also wells,
and there was net a spot on the fare of the earth where a
well may not be found full of the life-giving water. The
Word of God was one of these wells; prayer was another, -- -

evening the Rev. W. Clifford was again the preacher, the
text being Ronians i. In : "For I am not ashamed of the
Gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salva•
time to every one that believeth : to the Jew firsts and also
to the Greek." In the course of an able sermon, whieh
was listened to with marked attention, the preacher i
dwelt on the Gospel, and what it taught; and in conclusion '
said that was the Gretna they wished to preach to the
fire millions of their fellow-countrymen. who now never
heard of Christ ; they wanted to send them good, earnest,
soul-loving men.who would not be afraid VI enter the dens
of Infamy and poverty that existed in the cast end of
London. If they Mt the love of God in their hearts, they
would be anxious that others should feel it as well. It
seemed to him that many professing Christians were
ashamed of the Gospel; Paul felt that Christ had died for
him, therefore he gave up everything for the cause of
Christ ; he counted all things but loss that he might win
Christ. He really thought the reason they lid not get a
better response to their appeals for help WWI because
people did not believe the Gospel; for if they did they
would do much more than they at present did. hook at
some of them—they could pay se. to go to a concert, yet
for the work of Christ the smallest coin of the realm was ,
thought sufficient to be put in the plate. He had attended
a church filled with wealthy people, when an appeal had
been made; after the service, in the vestry, he had seen a
small heap of had coins, and these had been given by
people who professed to believe Christ had died for them I
—but they could not so believe. If they made a poor
response, it would show that their love was but weak. but
let them give as the Lord had blessed them, let them,
feeling what Christ had done for them, be ready to do
what in them lay for the good of others, and God would
bless them.—The collections amounted to £7 13s. lid,
