and deplored their wretched condition and
the disgrace they had brought upon them
selves and their families, and asked for
prayers in their behalf while others, broken
down at sense of their condition, but not,
ready TO accept the gospel plan of overcom-
ing, asked for pledge, so that they might
sign it. Mr.. Hallenbeck informed them that
he had no pledge for them to sign, and had
no confidence in human resolves and efforts
alone to overcome the power Of q fixed appe
tite, for he knew from personal experience
that the only effective and lasting remedy
was the religion of Jesus Christ and the aid
of Almighty God, which he urged them to
accept.
The service at the Congregational Church
last evening was conducted by Mr.. Whittle,
and but portion of those who sought to at
tend were able to find even standingroo in
side the building. Mr. Whites remarks
were upon the story of Zaccheus, who, by rea- ,
son of his small stature climbed a tree to see
Jesus IS He passed by. He used it as illus
trating the earnestness which persons should
use in seeking Christ He was a man, said
the speaker, of wealth and of position which
wealth gave, and yet he was willing to be seen
climbing tree in order that he might see
Jesus, whom he had heard SO much about.
He wanted to see Him for purposes of saliva
ton. The speaker supposed that Zlccheus
was typical man, and was tempted by just
the same motives that worldly men are now
not to press forward toward Christ; that if
he was to seek Him he had better take some
quiet time when there was no crowd around
Christ; that he had better postpone it, at
any rate for the present, and become dis
ciple of His by degrees. But he pressed
through all obstacles, met Jesus and received
Him into his house. Mr.. Whittls then called
upon his hearers TO press through and over
all obstacles and come to the Savior and &C.
cept Him.
At the afternoon meetings, both in the au-
ditorium and the lecture-room below, in
creased numbers sought for prayers, and
large number gave testimony of having been
accepted and saved.
