largely attended than on any previous day. 1t

spirited congregational singing. The perilous

ed the Church to personal Righteousness, as the
only safe foundation for good government to rest
upon. The interest in these great union gather

will be: For the universal spread OF the Gospel,
that eyangelistic agencies may be multiplied,

world, that the fullness Of the Gentiles may be
brought in, and sll Israel be saved" conducted
by Rev. J. W. Parker, d. D. It is expected that
