THURSDAY KYENING.

Notwithstanding slight fall Of rain In
the early part of the evening. large con-
gregstion had assembled at the commence
ment of the evening service. The opening
exercises were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Bell.
and Rev. z. C. Pickett preached from Isaiah
ii,2
And it shall come to pass in the last days that
the temple of the Lords house shall be established
in the top Of the mountains. and shall be exalted
above the hills, and all nations shall nov to It.
The prophets OF antiquity were seers,
having power to foretell coming events.
Isaiah, standing at the door OF that
magnificent temple, erected by the
matchless skill of Solomon, was filled
with sorrow. for he saw the Saviour nailed
to the eros but looking farther into futu-
rity he rejoiced on beholding the latter
day glory OF Gods Kingdom.
The leading thought that the preacher
sought 10 impress upon his hearers, was
that Gods church is destined to prevail
over all false systems of religion and ulti-
mately to bring the whole world to the feet
of the Saviour. Jesus Christ has power to
save, and Gesires the salvstion of all men
nothing further is necessary to accomplish
what is lOretold in the text.
Rev. Mr. Eaton followed with a powerful

Pittsburgh is excited over the discovery
just north of the village in the sand on the
lake shore, of one-half of bullet proof
vest. It is of cast steel, and covered on both
sides with several thicknesses of cloth in a
fair state of preservation, and the cotton
cloth. batten. canvas and blue material on
the outside are all partially preserved also
some Of the buttons, hooks, and portions of
the straps for fastening behind. About
one half of the surface of the steel was
rusted, as if caused by blood, the rest of the
surface being about as smooth as when
new. Pasted on the steel is the business
card of the manufacturers. in plain print,
as follows: "Smith's Patent Bullet Proof
Vest, made by G. & D. Cook & Co., New
Haven, Conn" In that portion of it pro-
tecting the heart Of the wearer is deep in
denture, evidently made by musket ball.
But higher up, near the arm pit, is hole
an inch or more in diameter. evidently made
by ball, the outlines where the shot passed
through the cloth and steel being as dis
tinct as if it were done but Yesterday, and
traces of blood are clearly visible on the
lining. The history of the tragical relic is
yelled In mystery.

The opening exercises of the afternoon
services were conducted by Rev. A. Hall, Of
Argyle. New York Mr. Hall delivered the
sermon from the text, Acts XVI, IL to Is in
elusive These are the words of Jesus to
Saul Of TaISus Thoroughly instructed in
the Jews religion, Saul early imbIbed the
idea that it was his duty to prosecute the
followers of Christ and he was then on his
way TO Damascus TO bring TO Jerusalem any
who might believe in his teachings. Sud
denly he hears a voice from heaven Spying,
- Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
and in the text We find an answer to this
inquiry. |. We are often told by the IN
converted that they would become Chris
tians. if they could witness such miracle
a. this Such people mistake the purpose
for which this miracle was wrought. Saul
was sinner, who thought himself in the
right, and to convince MIN OF his error
God manifested his power in this manner
Sinners now are already convinced that
they are such, consequently there is no
necessity for such a manifestation of God
power. ,. We learn from this text that
the true Gospel minister l. sent by Christ.
,. Our Gospel. divine system of saliva
ton, l. Gospel of light, and light from on
High i our only hope l. Oar progress
in the Christian life will be according to
the measure OF our faith. The great object
OF our religion. however. Is to fit Us for our
inheritance IN the world TO come The
speaker closed BY exhorting the congrega-
ton to break away from the power OF the
Prince OF Darkness and turn to Christ.
Exhortations AID a prayer-meeting con-
cluded the pubic exercises.
