offices in this place are to be united,

brought into the post Office with the

THE oH1LDREN's MEETING.

Friday afternoon was given to the
children, and the church was packed as
it never was before. The union schools
were dismissed, and the scholars and
teachers came down in a body. 1t was
beautiful sight to see so many little
ones together, and to some of the older
ones it was the best meeting in the en-
tire three weeks. The services con-
sisted of frequent singing by the chill
dren-led by Mr.. Sankey--and the A,
B, c of the gospel enforced and illus
trated by Mr.. Moorhouse. The children
sung finely, the talk was simple and
earnest, and altogether it was an occa-
sion long to be remembered.

as much an one as was Paul himself
If you want to know why you can be-
come Christian, it is because "God so
loved the world that he gave his only
begotten Son." etc. do not think any
OF US can understand the full meaning
yf that little "so.n We can never un-
derstand it until we arrive in heaven.
1t wasn't that God so pitied or sympa-
thlsed, but so loued. This word is the
key that unlocks the mystery of saliva
ton; but why he loved us SO much, no
one knows. A friend told me about
two brothers in one company, and dur
ing one of the terrible battles in this
country-I think it was Antietam-one
OF these brothers fell mortally wounded.
The other brother stopped for little,
but could not help him, and STOPPING
down and kissing him was about to
press on in the fight when the wounded
boy called him back, and kissing him
again said, "take that home to mother %
The mothers love was what the dying
boy thought of; but all the loves of all
the mothers is but a drop to the Allan
tic ocean compared with the love of
God for the world, offered without
money or price.
Some people do not believe this.
When came to this country some years
ago, young man came with nae seek
ing for place. One day in walking by
a mans orchard in Delaware, we saw
the trees loaded with fine apples. 1
asked lad whom we saw if we might
have some, expecting to pay for them.
He replied to take as many as we liked.
The young man with me would not go
over the hedge to get the apples, say
ing that they only wanted to set the
dog on him. A little farther on we saw
a man in the orchard, and asked him if
we might have some fruit. He replied,
didn't you hear the boy tell you to take
as many as you likedq But in order to
have the apples, we had to take them.
Surprising we had lain down under the
trees and said that if God intended us
to have the apples they would drop
into our pockets This is the way some
folks talk about salvation. They say
if God intended us to be saved he will
save US. No, if we want salvation we
must take it, and not talk about de-
nraaS 10 Won ha1ioua What 10
in this book Z God says, whosoever
believeth shall be saved. In this coun-
try all believe, and yet all are not
saved. Some years ago when l was
coming to this country, l was to sail in
the steamer "Spa." Now imagine that
had met on the dock sailor with his
cap marked "Spa," and l enquire of
him about the vessel, and he tells me
all about it, where it was made, its
cargo, and where it was going. Would
by this knowledge get to America
No; I must leave the dock and step
into the ship. 1t is not believing about
Christ but believing IN him and we
must also do something. 1t is now
twenty-five minutes past eight before
thirty minutes past eight you can be
saved in these seats if you will believe
in Christ. Will you now accept the
Saviour ? The moment you do, eternal
life is yours. May God help you to
decide tonight, and bless you, every
one.
At the close of the meeting, many

was sanctifcation. Sanctitication means
to be separate and Abraham, Lot
in SOdom, Moses and the children
of Israel, were the illustrations large
ly used by the preacher to enforce
the truth. 1t was an exceedingly in
teresting and useful discourse.

very earnest discourse from the words
of Blind Bartimeus "Jesus, :. +. have
mercy on me-" Those who come to the
Lord as beggars always receive bless
