large congregation upon the subject II Christian WORK
Previous the sermon he announced that epecid cor
lection would be taken for the Gospel Tent IN IhT'y
fours SAYING that abort ~ 900 needed TO defray
the expense, the meetings which had been IN progress
during the pas thirteen weeks Ills text was from Dan

the Most High and shall wear out the saints OF the MOST
