do. He pointed out that this was much better and
safer than looking at themselves or their neighbour..
He earnestly entreated those who had not yet :Ravingly

another hymn, followed by prayer' Mr. Hefford
delivered an earnest appeal from 11. Samuel xiv. 14,
" For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the
ground, which cannot be gathered up again, neither
sloth God respect any person, yet doth he devise means
that his banished be not expelled from him." The
speaker pointed out the certainty of death, whether
near or far off, showed the danger of delay, and in
closing exhorted all who had not previously done so,
to accept the means which God had devised before it
became too late. His address was interspersed with
appropriate anecdotes illustrative of his remarks, and
wm listened to with great feeling. At the close, a
prayer meeting was held, to which about half of the
audience stayed, and earnest hopes were eapres.ed
that Mr. Hefford would visit Dorchester again. The
committee of the Y.M.C.A. contemplate engaging
the servioes of Mr. Hefford—or another evangelist—in
a short time, ranch good having resulted from the past
services.
