The meetags at the Jackson street church yester-

money meeting. at which many Of those who have
bsen converted at these meetings spoke Any who
doubts the thoroughness Of the conversions at these
meetings sheuld have been present to have heard
them.
The regular services at 10 80 began with singing
''Salva!ion IL free," followed by prayer by Mr..
Harrison.
DIR. Marshal exhorted the people to keep
praying, and trusting and not let 60 their hold on
God. The audience was larger than usual for Sum
day morning.
The hymn "Open, and let the Master in," Was

have one still more alarming. 1t shows that some

This parable is many sided. Some think it refers
only to intellectual ability and is of simply internal
truth, but it has deeper signication. The ability
10 apprehend God, to my mind. is the true meaning
Of this text and that the dlsuse OF this talent will
result in its loss. No animal except man can ap-
prehend God. Man alone can receive divine inspi-

but of no other creature This Is wonderful gift
God has bestowed upon man.
Another point in this talent is that when we thus
| receive God. We can discern spiritual things. No
| wonder unsaved men call Christians fanatics and
lunatics. No one can understand these things un-
less he has exercised bis talent. Then there is
the faith faculty. Scientific men will not receive any

yet there IL point beyond which

came into this church by faith, and faith alone
We came up the steps on faith. Very few of US saw
| the steps at all. We put our feet down upon the
door without looking atit And SO we as Christians
live by faith Oh let us be careful that we do not
| abuse this faith talent
Some ofyou believe that the Bible Il an obsolete

to de- but not for you, who are too wise to be In
duenced by such methods. and yet there was time
when your hearts were tender and easily touched,
Of grace you are no longer Influenced by religious
things, or, If you are Influenced, not 30 much as
formerly. This is because you have neglected to ex-
ercise your talent God has given nature that

does not care enough for this glorious truth to
exercise your talent and grow nearer and nearer to
God, why, be Il 80. but, oh, charge you, do not
neglect this talent until you lose 1t. How often do

one pursuit for years, and what do you see-men

| This Is the same subject brother Harrison
spoke on Friday night, the objectionable sis, but
| in another aspect.
You cannot blame God if when you come to die,
you have no peace. God has warned you in every
way that can be conceived, and yet you will not
be saved.

and the very fact that you do not feel strongly
you once did proves that you have neglected your
talent, and unless yon turn ct while any little
ray of feeling desire remains you may lose your

talent from him."
The sermon was powerful one, and inside deep
