her varied experiences of more than twenty
five years in hospitals almshouses and the
novels of the Kansas refugees,-an earnest
and tender appeal to those out Of Christ. In
vivid description Of the wreck of the Central
America. twenty years ago, she urged the dam
ger Of delay. She is quiet, matronly appear
ing lady, with singular sweetness of express
sion. Her manner is calm and deliberate, and
makes her one of the most pleasing of speakers.

The discussion was general exposition of
the chapter, dwelling upon the thought of
| Citation. We are to bring home to ourselves
the queries, care we children of God? Do
we recognize His majesty and might, and do
we realize the gift extended to us-that we are
| either within or without the fold?''
Our duty in respect to these important ques-
| tions is positive. Gods attitude toward us as
a protector, benefactor, and loving father, must
not be overlooked. The attractions of sin were
| contrasted with those of the promises of God,
| and the speaker strove to impress the idea OF
| personal effort, remembering that we are am
bassadors of Christ.
VIM. G. johnson made few remarks based
| upon Cor. ii. 9th, 18th, touching regeneration

working out our salvation, citing the healing
of the withered hand as symbolical of this
truth The Almighty demands that man shall
do all that lies within his power for his own
interest, if he would enjoy the riches of saliva
ton. We are to do what He gives grace and
| strength to do, according to our light, then
shall the reward be ours.
Mary S. Knowles spoke from John III. Sd.
This lady has very forcible style of delivery,
and clothes the truth in language not to be
mistaken. Her remarks were devoted to urg-
ing thorough and complete change, putting
away of all that can leave trace of the old
! life God accepts no halfway measures. Very
few of the speakers have been so able to hold
the attention of their audiences as this quiet
appearing lady.
