was the difference between the PrOtestants and
the Catholics.
Mr. Hsmmond then resumed his talk to .tc
children, first getting them to sing the hymn, 81

repeated after him the words, Him that cometn

Mr.. Hammond then invited those children W no
space was soon fillea with children. This shows

children. Little cards containing the covenant

loving child and faithful servant all my life, and

others then wentamong the children, and held an
inquiry meeting.
Evsrirg Session.
Ia the evening Mr.. Hammond preached again,
at the Congregational church, to a crowded audi
ence of not less than fifteen hundred persons.
Great solemnity prevailed. His comments on the
scripture lesson read were very pungent, and were
principally addressed to indolent and half
hearted Christians. His text was, Heorew vli:25,
Therefore He is able to save them to the utter
most that come unto God by Him." He said
these words express the ground, extent and con-
ditions Of Christ's salvation. Christ has ap-
peared on the cross and in heaven to die and
plead for our salvation. He will appear again at
the end Of the world as our Judge. Tonight He
is our bondsman and intercessor. We should
apply to him such. His prayer before the
court OF eternal justice is save sinners for My
sake" He is able to save from sin, guilt and
despair. He will save all men who come unto
God by Him. Out OF self into Christ Is the way
to forgiveness, happiness and heaven. You may
be vile, 4 harlot, a seducer, a gambler, a Phari
see 6 hypocrite; Christ can save You. In the
army tley receive only able bodied men; Christ
will receive dwarfed, MANNED and defOrmed sogls.
Bruised, broken and wretched ones are freely
welcome to him and his grace.
The vast audience seemed greatly novel by
his direct, tender and earnest appeals. some OF
his many stories and illustrations were thrilling.
Many peuitents attended the inqIlrY meeting.
TIE platform was filled with clergymen.
