Rev. DIR. CHAMBERLAlN.-At the Unlt q
PRESBYTERIAN Church prayer meeting, last blghf'
after prayer by Re-. DR.. Berry, and reading
of Scripture, Rev. DR.. Bullock, pastor OF II e
church, said it afforded him great pleasure o
introduce to the congregation Rev. Df. Chan-
berlaiu. who has just returoed to this country
from India, he having labored 10 that country
for fifteen years as missionary, and is now
on visit to his native land for the benefit OF
his health Dr.. Chamberlain then addressed
the congregation for about a halt an hour 10
an excellent discourse, showing lo5 the Bible
!, received ia India. The speaker sid wnen
he arrived in this county he was tOrclbIy struck
with the TACT That there is tendency 90 the
n ,rl of some to devise some other way fer mans
salvation than the Bible way, and even on the
part Of some processing Christians tie Bible
was DOT appreciated as it should he, and he
felt that if the people Of America could see
what the Christians Bible was doing 10 lodla,
a1d how it was appreciated by these who had
received it. they would never again feel that
it was not just what was needed, or that It was a
lj,,ic Ola tashoucd iiodooSm, he said, was
giving way i: could DOT stand the light or the
Gospel Of Christ. The religion OF India dld
no. give the people peace; it taught them they
were sinners aud that G0d was pure aad holy
it showed them the gut that separated them
f,om a pure AID holy God, but it provided 90
way to bridge that gulf The Bible. he said,
suprlicd their want, and hence its Joyous re-
ccptioo lie concluded bis remarks with an
appeal TO the Christian people to use every op'
portugty to send the glorious news OF salvation
to all who are IN dIlkpCsS.
