CLASS OF Persons to Enter-Sfnners.
The attendance at the House of Hope last
night was good, and the meeting was opened
ny tho singing OF "Come ye that love the
Lord" after which Rev. Mr.. Smith led in
prayer and Mr.. and Mrs. McGranaham sang,
II shall be satisfied, shall be satisfied,
When awake in his likeness" The con-
gregation followed with sGuide me Oh thou
Great jehovah" Major Whittle made tho
announcements that there would be but one
regular service on to -morrow-the morning
prayer meeting-but the usual teachers
meeting would be held in the Y. N. G. A.
rooms at 4:30. On Sunday the usual mems
prayer meeting will be held at the Opera
house at 3 O'Clock. Tickets to be had at the
door, or at the Y. M. G. A. rooms. At tho
same hour the. Q will be women's prayer
meeting at the rooms of the Y. M. @. A. In
the evening, union services will DO held at
several churches, to be announced in the
church pulpits. He also announced that on
Thursday next, the evening meetings would
be held ct tho Baptist church in lower town.
Noticing large number of young school
children in the room, the speaker kindly
welcomed them, and said he would have
special words and songs for them every Fri
day evening. He then asked Mr.. McGrana-
han to sing for the young people delightful
medley entitled, "The trundle bed song
which was much admired.
In John KS We read, III am the door,
He also calls himself ''The good shepherd -
"the vine," &c. Now in door We under
| stand there is an insid5 and an outside. So
| IN the world there are those within and with
| out the church. Mention is often made in
the bible Of those who "are without" plain
~ Indicating that there are two classes of
| men. Men are "epistles known and read by
| all men," hence We must be careful how we
are read, for the world generally reads cor
rectly. In sense our religion is judged of
by those of Us who are within. How careful
ought We then to be. The world didn't
know Christ, nor do they know bis people,
they are within the church. Where are you,
my friends, within or without? It you have
not faith in Christ you are in sin. We are
| all under, condemnation. But for those
who accept Christ pardon is offered. Do
you understand the bible, sinner? Do you
simply give your opinion, and judge
Gods word rather than let God
Judge you? If SO, you are
not of His, you do not receive the spirit
until you accept Christ. You are simply a
corpse, dead. You may move just as a gal.
| vanized corpse moves, but you are dead all
the same-dead in trespasses and sins. Here
there is life for you, and tonight offer it to
you. There is home for you, and offer
it you in the name of Christ. You need not
| stay without if you will only come within.
In Chicago two of my Sunday school boys
jumped from feur-story building that was
on lire. 1t was fatal to them: the boys were
lost. But there is something worse than
physical death-an eternal death is worse,
But, friend, why die? Why must yo: live?
! Why will you stay without when an open door
stands before you? Now, my young friends,
| come into this door, don't put it off. Our
| Savior stands in the door with wide open
arms. You are not safe outside; you will
be lost IT you remain outside. In st. Louis,
| when tho Southern hotel was on fire, two
persons were up in the fifth story. They
were, to all intents, lost; but free escape
| hurried up the street and the car was r1,,
up to the window; but it looked unsafe
Would they risk it? 1t was fire on one side
and the car on the other. It was their only
| chance. They accepted it and were saved
So, my friends, it is life on one side and
death on the other, with you. The door
WILL not always remain open. We read the
words, "and the door was Shut It is
open tonight for you, in the morning it NAV
be closed.
After an invitation to the inquiry room,
the choir sang "There is Fountain Filled
With Blood" when the meeting was dis.
| missed by Rev. DR.. Rice.
