REWARD IND PUNISHMENT.

The Subjects of Major Whites Discourfes
Observation-Disclosures AS the Thief on Cal
vary and Your Salvation is Attained.
The services conducted by Major Whittle,
yesterday. were largely attended and evidences
of great interest in the work is manifested.
In the afternoon he spoke at the Opera
House, the theme of his discourse being 1.-THE
Wages of Sin is Death" The text was taken
from Romans chap. v123.
For the wages of sin is Death, and the Gift
of God is Eternal Life"
In addressing himself to the subject, Major
Whitte declared that man must receive pun
ishment for the commission of sin. Sin against
God was visited with death, for the wages of
such sin was visited with such
punishment. With this rs key note of the
sermon, Major Whittle declared ignorance
could not be pleaded in cxtenuation or in bar
when the sinner was brought to receive his
wages for his sin. Gods law given both
in written form and it was planted in mans
heart.
In further presenting his subject, the speak
or illustrated it with reference to human law,
and how ofenses were guaged. The offender
did not measure his crime, but the judge
meted out his punishment and with Gods law
it was he same. In nature, her laws were not
broken without penalty, and the result was
not of t he offeuder's making.
From the wages of SIM an avenue of es
cape was s wen to sinners. Christ redeemed by
assuming the penalty and dying for the world.
Believe IN BIN and pardon followed.
Major Whites address was attentively
listened to, aud delivered in his usual
earnest manner. In conclusion he
told his hearers what to do, how to live to es-
cape death. Believe in Christ, accept his teach
ings. and salvation WAS within the reach of all.
THE EVENING SERVICE.
The Baptist church WAS crowded last night,
and the services were of on unusually interest
ing character.
Major White prefaced his address by say
ing that the morning prayer meetings would
hereafter be held in the Summer Garden on
Wnbashaw street.
The sermon gave an account of the CONVEX
sion of the dying thief the cross, the text
being taken from Luke, chap. xxiii-S9. In
beginning his address Major Whittle said,
all men are saved and lost in the
way. He Is saved through Christ, Loaf by de-
nylng Him. Boosted civilization cannot alter
this mode or plan of salvation, and no matter
whether the man is savage or civilized, he
reaches salvation onlf in one way, aud that way
is the only one ordained by God.
In giving the story of the thief on the cross,
Major White called attention to four features
or salient points of the mans remarks.
First-"Doss thou not fear God?"
Fear God. lie knows your sins, and he
measures ont tho punishment. Do you not
lear him, even though the hope of salvation
may bonp you up? His unerring judgment
must measure out 10 You your due.
Secondhand we JUSTLY
The world is under condemnation, No ex-
ouses prevail against Gods justice.
Third-"He hath done nothing amiss.'
Jesus has done nothing amiss. He is .in-
less, man ID the SINNER yet ne has assumed
the penalty for lis.
Fourth--"Lord remember me-
This uttCrauce declared to be one of the
most marked exhibitions of faith in the scrip
lures. The thief ad mitted his guilt and as
serted Chris-'s innocence az they both suf-
ferred on the cross. He looked to Christ to
save him.
Such faith was enlarged upon by the speaker,
and his hearera were en- joined to have it, to OBJ
tam 1t in Christs name, and through Him to
be saved.
The meeting was closed with prayer, after
winch conference or inquiry meeting WAS
held, at which much interest was III ami tested.
