THE WORK OF SALTATION.
ChrIst's Appeal to SINNERS to Come While
There Is Yet Time.

Jackson street church was crowded again last
evening as usual, and many failed to get into the
church. The meeting at 80 is not so we'll attend
ed 1t should be, because of inability Of the ushers
to reserve seats above for those who attend the
meeting below. Where Mr.. Harrison has held meet
ipgs heretofore this has been done but here 1t
not be done for two reasons. First the rush Is
great, and second there being stairway con-
Meeting the basement with the main audience room,
those who attend the meeting below have to 60 into
the church from the front with the rems hder Of
the audience, and the ushers cannot distinguish
between the late corners who they have been holding
back, and those who have been attending the young
peoples meeting, 30 the only way Ia to hold the
young peoples meeting in the audience room, and
then merge 1t into the other meeting at O'Clock
The meeting at 8 O'Clock opened by singing Q
number Of hymns. as usual, followed by prayer by
Rev MI. Morgan, Of Clinton avenue church.
Mr.. Harrison then spoke from the text, Hosea
xI:6, "How can give thee up"
This as the word of God. God does give men up,
and yet He declares that He takes no pleasure In the
are Gods words. Men resist and refuse all the
agencies employed for their salvation, Father, Son
and Holy Ghost Until God gives them up wi b
the portentous inquiry, SHOW can give thee up"
and Eye Will not come to me that ye might have
ife." don't believe men are born to be damned.
They are not whatsoever will may partake Of the
water of life freely" Can anything be hoder, more
generous, more GOd-like. But there comes time
whan men resist to their own destruction. Jesus
wept over Jerusalem. Jesus, the everlasting Faith
er, Prince Of Peace, wept and said, "Oh,
Jerusalem. If thou hadst known, even thou,
at least In thy day the things that belong
to thy place, but now they are hid from
thine eyes" That ia the awful result of final re-
lection Of Christ, desolate.
Oh, sinner, you cannot afford to be desolate. It
means desolation without an end, without remedy.
Jesus preached to the people. He talked simply to
them about lilies and Birds and seeds, and fig trees,
and the common eople heard Him gladly. he told
them Of the parable Of the fig tree that had received
the most careful attention, but bore fruit, and
the owner said to the gardener: "C1t it down why
cumbereth it the ground" but the plea is spare it
one year more and give it another trial.,
Oh, sinner, here tonight infinite justice cries
"Cut 1t down Jesus says in mercy: "Not yet
spare him; how can give thee up mother said 81
cannot give up my son. "He must be saved" Oh
am 80 glad that thirteen years ago came to my
mothers Christ and was saved and made her 80
happy.
Gods infinite love cries, SHOW can I give
thee up?"
GOD is saying to every unsaved soul here tonight,
"How can give thee up,' and yet, If you do not
accept him, He must give you up.
How many want God to take them up and save
them?
The usual invitation was then given for those who
wished to be saved to come to the altar, when the
space about the altar was soon filed with earnest
seekers.
Mr. Harrison reports over 200 seekers so far.
Meetings as usual tonight at 80 and g.
