of Christian families who have been
trained in the house of prayer and true
piety, but do not give their souls to God,
betray him; the men who care more
about office than they do Christ, are in
different to his cause, and are among his
crucifiers. Let us see that we are not
found among his crucifiers.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Mrs. Hulburd holds meeting each
day at p. M, in the large Williston
tent, especially for the children. This is
crowded with interesting and deeply in
terested little folks, and few older
ones. Mrs. II. intensely loves the chill
dren and has happy faculty of gaining
their attention and getting their conf
,lence The manner of conducting these
meetings is to -epen by singing and
prayer; then a simple plain talk on some
Scripture lesson and an easy application
TO the experience of child life. The
children repeat passages of Scripture or
speak otherwise, as they prefer. These
exercises are sandwichcd with simple
songs and good advice. They are very
instructive to the parents as well as TO
the children. A goodly number have
sought Jesus and have proved the prom
ise, "They that seek me early shall fha
me. The meetings are among the oest

bury was an interested, though not an
idle spectator, in the Friday afternoon /
children meeting. His words of wisdom
were adapted to the child mind and We're
listened to with shining eyes and bright
smiles.
Rev. Mr.. Copeland, of Panton, preach

scattering, containing some curious fig
ures, and amusing illustrations, that
created more smiles than tears.
The congregation was the largest yet
present at the meeting. The interest of
the meeting is increasing in numbers at
tending, and promises to be fruitful in
good results.
