TIE UNION BIBLE MEETINGS.
Two Of these have been held at pm. every
day Of the past week, excepting Saturday; one
on the South Side, in the Rev. Dr.. Patterson's
Church, which has been largely attended, and
<ery interesting; and the other on the West
Side, in the Third Presbyterian Church, where
the interest haa been greater than that Of the
previous "eek. Nowhere in the world, said Mr.
Morehouse yesterday, could two such Bible
meetings haEe been carried On, during business
hours, with any better attendance and more in
tereat than these tso last week. On Friday, in
the Third Church, Mr. Morehouse led the meet
ing. As it Was thought to be his last before
sailing for Europe, the chapel proved far
too small for the attendance. He spoke
on the necessity OF Christian separation from
the world-sanctiication illustrating his theme
with touching incidents and throwing about it
a whole volume Of Scripture quotations, His
simplicity and earnestneBs were never more
prominent, and ne doubt ii ever be was listened
to with greater attention: 1t the close, the Rev.
Dr. kittredge, in view of Ill. Warehouses; com
ing departure for Europe, invoked the Divine
blessing for hia safe Journey across the sea to
the presence Of his family.
These meetings will not be continued On the
West Side this week, nor will they be held, az
last in the Second Presby terian Church, but in
the Plymouth Church, on the South Side, cor
