AS the GLOBE intimatcd it would be, the |
people filled the buildings where the great re-
vivalists were to wrestlc with the great wicked |
ness of the s'modern Nincvah," and left no
room Cor the publicans and sinners. Itis nice
to sit and hear tho man who :'cxplains the
scriptures as man never explained them be-
fore,'' talk of the poor sinking wretches out of
the ark, and describe that sinful man who
goes to the theatre and drinks be or, that
other who is so good and trusts to his own
these present. 1t is pleasant to
in easy pews and listen to the silver voiced
evangelistsing the pretty songs which cheer the
path heavenward. But to say the least, it is
selfish on the part of these church people Sun
day after Sunday monopolizing the seats, while
their perishing brethren are unable to get
standing room. Pentecost yesterday seemed
to realize the righteousness of the farce of
calling on people to believe and repent who had
already believed and repcnted, and become
sanctifcd. He therefore addressed himself to
Christians.
The carly morning meeting at the Seventh
Street Methodist Episcopal church at 8 o clock
was we'll attended. The meeting opened by
the congregation, assisted by the choir, singing
MY faith looks up to Thee" Rev. Creighton
offered prayer, Stebbins sang Room for Jesus"
and Pentecost took for his subject Matthew
10th chapter, 10th verse: ''Many arc called
but few are chosen"
The Evangelist read Numerous passages of
scripture as illustrating what was meant by
| chosen many were called and received the
penuyworths of salvation, but very few of
those called were chosen for their devotion to
Christ; those who were called, like the lakes in
| Minnesota, there were numbers OF them in
| the State, but very few of them were promi-
nent; but you ask, how do you know you are
chosen? Why, by the knowledge of the spirit
| of the Lord Jesus Christ in your hearts. At
ment, Mr.. Stebbins, who evidently had not yet
been to breakfast, was seen to take out and
look at his watch several times. This did not
escape the eagle eye Of Pentccost,
and he publicly rebuked his brother evangelist
for so doing. If you are Of the number OF
chosen you will not be seen in company with
the scorners and scOffers Of religion; do you
suppose brethren that I would stand on the
street corner with sinners, or go fishing with
the ungodly Sunday? The speaker CLOSED
his remarks by reading several passages from
the bible descriptive of the great reward which

to come, and said that great many Christian,
were running for the prize and trying to reacl
heaven with the theatre and ball room tied t.
their legs. The benediction closed the meeting
PARK AVENUE CHURCH.
The church was crowded to its utmost capac
ity at the 0:30 o'clock services. The meetin,
, opened by the congregation, assisted by tn
: choir, singing Heaven is my home" Rev
E. s. Williams offered prayer, the congregatio,
sang "All hail the power of jesus name
, Stebbins sang ''What shall the harvest be?'
I Pentecost announced the meetings for th
. week. Mrs. and Mr.. Stcbbins sang sWords o
rejoicing" and Pentecost took for his text til
G first three verses of the Sd chapter of ST. John
Beloved now that we are the sons of God an
it doth not appear what we shall be; but "
know that when he shall appear we shall b
e like him; for we shall see him. etc.
