THE GOSPEL SERVICES.
The meetings held yesterday by the eysn-
gelists were fully rs interesting as those OF
the preceding day and the attendance in the
evening far greater than could possibly OBJ
tain admittance TO the church. A service of
ffteen minutes vas held at the railroad ma
chine shops. at the noon hour, at which about
500 employees gathered. Mr.. White and
Mr.. Halenback very briefly and earnestly
addressed the meeting, and Mr.. and Mrs.

In a very impressive manner. Another fif-
teen-minute service will be held there to-day.
commencing at quarter after II. The ladies'
hot coffee, at St. George building. was well
patronized from l to 3P. NJ, and the gospel
temperance meeting, conducted by Mr..
Hallenback and Mr.. and Mrs. McGranahaD,
from to P. n, was marked with in
creased interest. A large number gave
testimony Of having renounced their evil
habits of drink, and having found accept
ance and strength through faith in Christ.
At the gospel service last evening Mr.
Whittie spoke with great freedom and ferTOr
upon the words, To him that worketh not
but believeth on him that justiGeth the IN
cody, his faith is counted unto him for
righteousness" The thought outline Of his
discourse WIS that no man can work cut his
OWE salvation that the greater effort that is
made in this manner, the more deeply will
the sinner become involved; that we are
saved By faith. Faith in Christ is accounted
for righteousness and 50 imputed to him who
exercises it; God justiies the ungodly

is different from. earthly judges. With
the later man must be innocent to be
justified, whereas with God no man can be
justified except he first feel and confess his
sins, and then God justihes the sinner through
the merits OF Chiist's atonement made for
all who will accept The speaker illustrated
the efforts Of man who tries to work out
his own salvation, and the impossihility of
God 60 save him, while he maintained that
attitude, by comparing him to donkey that
had fallen into pit and was kicking furiously
to get out. The neighbors said, LETS go
down and pull him out" but the owner Of
the animal, who understood him better, re-
Piled, LET him alone until he gets through
kicking and is willing to be helped, and then
we viii put rope under him and lift him
out. So loag as he keeps kicking and
thinks he can get out himself, we
can't do him any good" Nov" said Mr.
White, ga man who tries to save himself
is Just in that condition. You stop trying to
save yourselves, and then the Lord win come
down TO You and lift you at once out of the
pit" During the service Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Granular sung "Christ Receiveth Sinful
Men" and Gathering Home" A very
large number arose for prayers at the after
noon meeting.
