At late hour on Sunday evenin
the large mass OF human beings VII
were attending the services during tn

more quietuds reigned upon the cam
ground. Rev. H. l.. Hastings tool

this tune, the sky, which has for
while been o'-rcast with threatening
clouds, rends and down the rain come
in torrsn is. The mighty trees A.,
rocked BY contrary Wind. The light
ming CLEANS and flashes from the hea
vens, and DER dell and hillside tn,
thunder crashes with a mighty sound
The storm continues throughout tn,
night and morning until about si,
O'Clock. Towards eight o'tlock the SUI
begins to blink and peep from beyons
the dark clouds, and ditfuses an etful
g-nce over the earth. The mighty
wailings and scbbings ofthe storm hav.
ceased and the only traces OF the prev
lous war ofths elements visible are tn.
damp soil and the rain drops which
& listen like diamonds, and which still
cling to the bushes and trees.
On Monday morning at half past ten
o'clock Bible reading on 'The Love Of
Christ was held. u...,,sf
At three o'clock Rev. Il. T. Taylor, OF
Philadelphia, preached from John 10:
10 IL: "The thief comsth not, but for
to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; l
come that they might have life, and
that they might have 1t more abun
dainty" 81 am the good shepherd,
the good shepherd givsth his life for
the Sheep" ...r...
He contrastsd the good shepherd
and the thief, what they came for. The
good shepherd came that they might
have life more abundantly, that is
eternal life; but the thief, who is the
devil, came that he might take away
this life, that he might steal, kill and
even destroy it. The good shepherd
gave his life for the sheep, and saith
whosoevsr beli-veth on me shall not
perish but have everlasting life. .psy,
In the evening Rev. Jacob Elicit
preached a sermon to sinners from the
words; "Sirs, what must | do to bs saw
ID ?" which is the latter clause of Acts
Is, 30. As an introductory to his re-
marks he read the narrative found in
he sixteenth and thirty-third verses
inclusive of this chapter.
The circumstances under y hich the
words were uttered occurred while
Paul was in prison. From the preced.
ng verses We gain the knowledge Of
low Paul and his friend Silas came to
'e imprisoned, and how they had been
'eaten, but during all this cruelty
hey did not murnur nor complain, but
t midnight prayed and sang praises
into God. Yet how many Of us il we
7ere placed in like circumstances won ID |
xhibit such evidence of faith in God
8 did these two men! The keeper
ecoming apprissd of the condition OF
fairs was about to kill himself, as he
las afraid of the consequence should
he prisoners have escaped, but Paul
tayed his hand, and said, "Do thy.
elf no harm, for we are all here"
1t is then that he asks the question,
'Sirs, what must do to be saved 7"
he speaker said he believed that he
'as convinced of sin, righteousness
nd judgment to come. He saw by
le actions of the prisoners that they
ere of God. 1t is believed that he
'eant in his heart the question which
9 asked, ''Sirs, what must | do to be
wed ?" We are sinners, we have
ansgressed the law, we have turned
stray, and as We stand before God the
1gels will say, "unholy, pnholy, 'un.
Dly," We realize it. The penalty is
the soul that siDneth it shall die. -
hen comes the question, "what must
do to bs saved ?" ConvictioB comes

The second death is the penalty for

In repentance God does not consider -
