The Young Mems Christian Association
closed their sessions last night. There was
a large attendance. The question, why
do so many churches fail to reach the
PoorP"'was the subject of discussion. The
sense of the meeting on this question was
summedsap in the following resolutions,
offered by Rev. Mr.. Morton:
Res0lued, That SO many churches failed
to reach the poor, because the poor, being
naturally proud and sensitive on account
oftheir poverty, misunderstood the church
and do not believe they are welcome, even
where such is the case, but mainly because
the pastors, officers and members are too
selfish in the enjoyment of their religion
that they have too little love for souls, too
little consecration to the Masters Work,
too little of that universal divine beneyo-
w
element of Christianity. and the leading
principle which is to fill the whole earth
with the knowledge and love of God.
ResolUed further, That this Convention is
deliberately and solemuly impressed with
the convictions that the only remedy for
this evil is, first, to build palmer churches
and invite poor cordially to them, proving
the sincerity of the invitation and making
it CONSTANT by abolishing the system of
pew renting; second, to seek out the poor
and carry the gospel to them, and pray
with those who cannot be induced to at
tend regular religious services and places
of worship; and lastly, for all professors of
religion to consecrate their time and in
fluence and wealth more entirely to the
service of Christ, in saving souls.
A collection was then taken up, which
amounted to over $4,000, after which reso-
lutions of thanks to various persons were
passed. Brief farewell addresses were
made by several gentlemen, and the con-
vention adjourned.
In the morning there was good Union
meeting at Mercantile Hall, at which Rev.
DR.. Nichols, OF st. Louis, delivered an elo-
quent and lengthy sermon, from the text,
righteousness eXalteth the nation'.' The
sessions of the association have been
numerously attended, very harmonious,
and it is believed will be productive of
much good.
