The sixth noon prayer meeting, under
the management of Stebbins and Pentecost,
was held at the Westminster church yester-
day noon. The audience was very light, and
more than half of the number present were
ladies. After the usual devotional exer-
cises the requests for prayer are generally
read, but it was noticeab bic that no requests
for prayer were handed in yesterday, but
the supposition is that it was an oversight
on the part of the brethren who send them
up.
Mr.. Pentecost took for his subject por-
ton of the eleventh chapter of St. Lake.
The speaker, in few remarks, said a great
many Christians wanted some sign that the
Lord was with them instead of coming bold
ly and steadfastly out for Christ, and those
present were urged to become, if they were
not already, steadfast and "out and out
Christians.'' The meeting was then thrown
open for prayers and remarks. Rev. Robert
Smith, of St. Paul, stated that when he was
sinner he slnned in a manly way-"no
getting behind the door for him''-and now
that he was Christian he did the same,
and he chopped God would kill him when he
ceased to represent Christi Rev. E. S.
Williams thanked GOD for the conversion of
four souls at gospel meeting held in South
Minneapolis on Friday night. A gentleman
from the sanity city said that he came to
Minneapolis for the express purpose of at
tending the meeting. He had been to three
different churches before he found where tho
meeting was being held, and as the fourth
church he went to was the right one he
thought the spirit of the Lord must have d.
rected him to the place.
A minister of the churches stated that the
ways of the Lord were often beyond mans
comprehension, and as an instance that he
had no idea of being minister until he had
passed his final examination at q theological
college.
The pastors of the various churches prayed
and talked the balance of the heur, and the
meeting closed with the usual exercise.
THE EVENING SERVICE
at Plymouth church was not SO largely at
tended as on some evenings of last week
notwithstanding the attractiveness of the
subject selected for the discourse. There
was, however, even larger array of buggies
on the adjoining streets, Indicating that the
audience consisted principally of citizens IL
comfortable circumstances. The singing Of
Mr.. Stebbins was as attractive and as frest
as on the first meeting. Mr.. Pentecost tool
for his text the words from the last chapter
of St. Marks gospel, "He that believeth no
shall be damned" He said he intended tx
view the subject without any reference K
theological doctrine, and he should not TAX
into consideration mans opinion. 1t wa
no subject for opinions when we had the di
rect assertion of God. The statement wa
made more emphatic and importan
from the fact that it was made b.
Christ when sending out his apostles ane
giving them their last charge. The sermon
was an earnest one, and concluded with Al
exhortation to flee from the wrath to come
This evening MIR. Pentecost would like tt
see those who take an active part in the pei
sonal inquiry meeting at clock, previou
to the regular evening meeting. There will
be to-day an hour of prayer at noon at West
minister church, ard bible reading ct Ger
tenary church at 10 o'clock. MIR. Pentecos
tonight will answer some of the objection
to the theory of eternal punishment
