The attendance at the House of Hone last
night was good, and the meeting was opened
ny the singing of "Come ye that love the
Lord" after which Rev. Mr.. Smith led in
prayer and Mr.. and Mrs. McGranaham sang,
II shall be satisfied, shall be satisfied,
When awake in his likeness The con-
gregation followed with "Guide me oh thou
Great jehovah" Major White made the
announcements that there would be but one
regular service on to- morrow-the morning
prayer meeting-but the usual teachers
meeting would be held in the Y. M. G. A,
rooms at 4:30. On Sunday the usual mems
prayer meeting will be held at the Opera
mousse at o'clock. Tickets to be had at the
door, or at the Y. NJ. @. A. rooms. At the
same hour the; Q will be a women's prayer
meeting at the rooms of the Y. M. @. A. In
the evening, union services will be held at
several churches, to be announced in the
church pulpits. He also announced that on
Thursday next, the evening meetings would
be held et the Baptist church in lower town.
Noticing large number of young school
children in the room, the speaker kindly
welcomed them, and said he would have
special words and songs for them every Fri
day evening. He then asked Mr.. McGrana-
han to sing for the young peoplea delightful
medley entitled, "The trundle bed song"
which was much admired.
In John K, 8, we read, II am the door,'
he also calls himself "The good shephesd,''
"tne vlne," DO. Now in door we under
stand there is an inside and an outside. So
IN the world there are those within and With
so ofk
the bibls Of those who 'tare without" plain
ly Indicating that there sre two classes of
| men. Men are "epistles known and read by
all men," hence we must be careful how We
are read, for the world generally reads cor.
rectly. In a sense our religion is Judged of
| by those Of us who are within. How careful
ought We then to be. The world didn't
know Christ, nor do they know his people,
they are within the church. Where are YOU,
my friends, within or without? If you have
not faith in Christ you are in sin. We are
all under condemnation. But for those
who accept Christ pardon is offered. Do
you understand the bible, sinner? Do YOU
simply give your opinion, and Judge
Gsd's word rather than let God
judge you? If SO, you are
not of His, you do not receive the spirit
until you accept Christ. You are simply a
corpse, dead. You may move just as gal.
vanlzed corpse moves, but you are dead all
the same-dsad in trespasses and sins. Hero
there is life for you, and tonight offer it to
you. There is home for you, and offer
it you in the name of Christ. You need not
stay without if you will only come within.
In Chicago two of my Sunday school bows
jumped from four story building that was
on tire. 1t was fatal to them: the boys were
lost. But there is something worse than
physical death-an eternal death is worse,
! But, friend. why die? Why must you live?
| Why will you stay without when an open door
stands before you? Now, my young friends,
come into this door, don't put it of. Our
Savior stands in the door with wide open
arms. You are not safe outside; you will
be lost If you remain outside. In St. Louis,
when tho Southern hotel was on fire, two
persons were up in the fifth story. They
were, to all iutents, lost; but FIRE escape
hurried up the street and the car was run
up to the window; but it looked unsafe.
! Would they risk it? 1t Was fire on one side
and the car on the other. It was their only
| chance. They accepted it and were saved.
SO, my friends, it is life on one side and
death on the other, with you. The door
will not always remain open. We read the
| words, "and the door was Shut It is
open tonight for you, in the morning it may
| be closed.
! After an invitation to the inquiry room,
the choir sang "There is Fountain RAled
With Blood" when the meeting was dis
missed by Rev. DR.. Rice.
