Revival Meetings.

Revival Meetings.
Rev. DR.. Butler closed his labors in this city on
Friday evening last, on VIII ch occasion he deliv-
cred one of the most interesting and convincing
sermons of the series, from the text to be found
in the first chapter of the prophecy of Isaiah
eighteenth verse Come now and let us reason
together saith the Lord; Though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though
they be red like crimson, they shall be as WOOL
Taking ii for granted TIL all would agree that
the bible is the word Of Cod the speaker proceed
cd to demonstrate that its truths commend them
selves to the reason and conscience of the human
family. God comes to listen to the wants of all
his creatures, and all his demands are eminently
reasonable, just and wise 1t is not for us to
question his right to govern and dictate terms for
our acceptance. Gods laws cannot be changed to
suit our pre- judices or our wishes he alone must
be the judge OF sin and the penalty attached to
transgrcssion. There is no such thing as a com.
promise-somc one must bear the penalty. Pardon
and salvation may be found by repentance and be.
lief and trust in Christ. There is no salvation
without repentance and the forsaking of sin and
yet men turn away and run the risk of conse-
quences. In addition to what God has already done
for fallen humanity He has sent his Holy Spirit to
aid us in our cndeavors to obtain salvation. Win
you reject these offers aud still go ON in sin God
demands that we yield to his sovereignty, repent
and be saved, trusting in Jesus alone. Can there
be any terms more reasonable lie gives US light
enough and time enough. God says this lite is to
be your probation there is no promise in the
word of God of future opportunities for prepare
ton for Heaven. This point was urged with
much earnestness and feeling; and at the close Of
the sermon fervent prayer was offered, that the
truth might find Judgement in every heart. An
interesting irquring folowed-a fitting exercise
for the closing hour of the evening. Mr.. Butler
has the satisfaction of knowing at his labors in
connection with the pastors and people here have
been abundsntly blest.

III. Hanger Express Train smash-up.


The cause of the accident was the culpable care
lessuess of a switch-tender named Jordan. 1t
seems that Conductor Dyer's train, which leaves
Doston rs $50 P. M, arrived in Lynn on time, and
as usual the rain was set off on the side track for
the night The switchman, Jordan, who, in addi-
ton to tending the switches also has charge of the
engine ball or lantern, neglected to throw the
switch up after it had been used for the shifting Of

that the main track was all right for the passage OF
trains A few moments after, or about one min
ute before 7, the Bangor express, consisting Of
seven cars drawn by engine No. So, came rushing
along some four or five minutes late, evidently
irving to make up the lost time, and without any
gaming, rushed on to the siding and into the
empty passenger train above mentioned. The mo-
mcntum of the train had been considerably les
sened, owing to the fact that when the rays Of the
headlight Of the locomotive fell upon the switch
the engineer, William Paul, seeing that the switch
was open, reversed his engine and applied the
brakes, and it is owing to the watchfuness Of the
engineer that a greater calamity was averted and
many lives probably saved.

bankment with stone abutments within three feet

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
A SQUALLY OUTLOOK.
Troops Already Moving Towards Towns
Near Constantin0ple.

VIENNA, April 81. The Roumanians cannot
prevent the passage Of the Russian armies through
her territory, as she has vanly sought support to
do so from the powers, but she can and will vgor'
ously abstain from armed partisanship Of Turkey,
if she does not cross the Danube, and also will
herself occupy Kaafat to prevent the Russians
getting that position but If Turkey persists in its
proposed action Roumans will be compelled to
cast her lot with the only power capable Of Afford
ing her material protection against such terrible
calamity. Roumania's position is one Of immi-
nent peril.
NEW YORK, April 81. A London special says
that Russia ntimates she will not object to the &C.
cupation Of Constantinople by England, or to the
occupation of Bosnia by Aus'ri. The Russians
advance on Jassy, Monday.
WASHINGTON, April %. Cable kilograms re-
ceived by the State department Indicate no longer
any possibility of averting war between Russia and
Turkey.
The mail from various consulates indicate. that
Russia is preparing TO make either real or pre-
tended flank movements on Constsntinople,
around the eastern shore Of the Black Sea, and
through Asia minor Troops are already moving
in small bodies towards the several Russian towns
IN that direction, and it Is surmised that they will
eventually be concentrated at some point near the
northwestern boundary Of Turkey, in Asia, and
there be reinforced by aid from Persia, In the
event Of the latter power becoming Russia's open
ally.
1t is also believed in Washington diplomatic cir
cles that circutous movement on Constantinople
will be made through Servis and Montenegro, rs
on this route the Russian forces would encounter
less formidable obstacles either of natural srti-
cial character, and could also count upon supplies
and other assistance from the largely y mPathetic
population,
PARIS, April %. A despatch dated Bucharest
to-day says the movement Of the Roumaniau
troops toward Kslafat, was suspended. Rouma-
MIA may possibly relnquish the idea Of forciby
opposing the occupation of Kslafst, if the Turks
request permission to occupy after the Russians
enter Roumania. The panic in Bucharest contin-
ues, although the report that Abdul Kerim in
tends to push on thither is contradicted.
The Roumanisn Cabinet has yet made NO official
to the powers, to the neutrality
guaranteed Roumania by the treaty Of Paris. but
unofficial pourparles have taken place in Vienna.
