FLORENCE MCCARTHY.

Wnlcn was JOiel aGlY Well crowded by
a miscellaneous congregation attrac
ted by the announcement that Rev.
Florence McC arthy would preach, de-
spite his so-called deposition from
the ministry.by the Baptist Council.
The audience included nearly one
half of the members OF the Union
Park Baptist Church.
After the usual devotional exer-
cises, Rev. Florence Mccarthy brief
ly addressed the congregation before
proceeding to the delivery of the
sermon. r. esr
The speaker gave notice of TIE
lunches to be given during the week,
and requested those who were will
ling to render assistance to hand in
their names. He also said that he
would preach in the hall every Sun
day afternoon, at o'clock, for q
month, and appointed prayer meet
ing at the house of Mrs. Briggs, for
Thursday evening. He then said he
wished to correct misapprehension
about himself Many OF them, no
donbt, supposed that he had been
deposed from the ministry. This he
denied i'a toto. He said that a counaa
Gil, according to Baptist usage,
had no right to depose minister,
but only to recommen to the church
to do it. But the council haG made
bad job of it by trying to do it
themselves, and adjourning without
recommending it to the church. But
he said that evenaif the council had
had the authority, the action was so
informal and unjust that even if they
had deposed him he would have con-
tinued preaching if there were as
many devils and as many councils
around as there were shingles on the
house. Christ had called him to
preach, and preach he would, and
that in Chicago. The time was past
when men could be ruined by the
tpse dlcit of others. The age has
come when a man to be ruined must
ruin himself AS for him, his hands
were clean and his heart happy, and
he still defed the devil and his an
gels to do their level best.
He and his friends intended to Or
ganize Baptist church in this hall
next Sunday and he would no longer
be bound by ignorance, wickedness
and bigotry. He desired all who
wished to join the new church to
communicate with him right speed

His brief speech was applauded,and
interacuatory remarks evidenced
the sympathy Of a portion of the au-
dience. ~. ..A.N a...-
He then preached an orthodox SER
mon Christ's bodily ascension into
Heaven.
I After the sermon collection was
taken up to defray the expenses for
the hall and to support the pastor.
