HOV TO BE SAVED.

trust not in Your Own Strength-Accept
God, and Salvation Comes for The Asking
III jOr Whittle Discourses at the Opera
House and the House Of Hope Yesterday.
The afternoon meeting at tho Opera
House was largely attended and the services
were conducted by Major Whittle. His SUBJ
ject of discourse was to impress his hearers
that it would not do to trust In their own
strength to resist temptation, but the help
of God must be invoked. His text was
from I. Kings, s: and told the story OF Ha-
zaeI.
THE EVENING MEETING.
A large congregation assembled at tho
House of Hope in The evening to take part
in the revival services. Major Whittle in
charge, the services were begun with song,
"Beulah Land" by the choir, followed with
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. McLaren.
Major Whitte announced that hereafter
the evening meetings would be held in the
Baptist church.
Following several hymns, Major White
spoke from the text from Isaiah, "Seek the
Lord, while he may yet be found,'' saying i:
If man accepts Christ once, he has done
all involved in his salvation, all things else
follow. There are five things man must
dc in accepting Christ.
First-"'Seek and You shall find" Who
ever seeks God shall find Him. There is no
mistake about that. You may seek health,
wealth or honor, and not find it, but who
ever seeks God earnestly, will find him.
Second-"While He may be found"
After while this gospel dispensation will
end. We DO not know when, but it will
come. God says it. Jesus says it. "When
She door is Shut The door will not always
be open. "For many shall seek, and not be
able to enter when once the master has shut
to the door," 1t is a solemn thought, you
may come now; after while you cannot.
Third-"Let the wicked forsake his way"
If you take salvation you must leave sin; the
two do not 60 together. You cannot take
your sins with you, you must leave them.
Give up your drunkenness, your licentious-
ness, your pride, your wordlinness. Don't
party, my friends, forsake your sins. It
may be you may suffer for time, but you
will have to suffer more hereafter, if you
don't come. 1t may be a battle, but God
will help you, He will be with you.
Fourth-"And the unrighteous man his
thoughts" The wicked man does great
deal Of thinking. he would have his way.

would do this and that, but friend, who is it,
you or God? Who is right, you or God?
Who knows best, you or God? If You take
Christ you must take all he says.
Fifth"--He will show mercy, and abundantly
PARDON Oh! think of it, friend, What a
Judge! he will show mercy, and abundantly
pardon. A pardon that will not be partial,
but one thet will Cover the whole ground.
Abundantly! Mark that word. Oh, what q
pardon! What grace-how sincerely it is
offered you. Now, wont you be sincere, and
ask God that yo1 may "seek' sincerely,
while he may be found, and that you may
forsake your way and your thoughts, and
come to Him who will abundantly pardon?
After singing Crock of Ages" the i'm
mense crowd was dismissed with the bene-
dicti on. Tonight the meeting will be 6
gospel-temperance meeting similar to that
Of last Monday night.
