Rev. w. II. Boole of New York, who preached
at 81 o'clock. He held the closest attention of
his audience for an hour and a half, and his
sermon produced 6eep impression. 1t was
founded on Romans III %, "There is no diff.

is no difference in sin before God. The moral
list, with nearly clean record, and the man with
crimson dyed record, stood on the same plain.
God placed all sinners on the same level at the
time of the flood. Other illustrations of Gods
view of sin were given. Christ's salvation was
for us all, without distinction of case or condi
ton, aud there is no other way of reaching
Heaven.
Mrs. Clark of New York, in clear, distinct
voice, at the close of the meeting, sang "The
Open Door and 'That Door may Close"

tween the members of the national and state
associations, it is understood the national meet
ing is to be held here annually.
