Harrison's Auspices Yesterday - What
Has Been Accomplished Thus Far.
The revival meetings at jackson street
church, opened yesterday forenoon at $50
with well attended prayer and conferences
meeting in the lecture room, and was fol.
lowed at 1880 by the regular public service
above.
The church was crowded as usual, and the
seating capacity was tested to the uttermost
The hymn "My God 1 am thine,n was
sung, followed by prayer by DR.. Marshall.
Then the hymn Bringing In the Sheaves,"
was given.
Mr.. Harrison then spoke for short time
from the text. what man is he that de-
sireth life.'
The desire of all men is to live, none of us
like to think Of death. We hate it as VIC do
sin, Christ always struck it when He could.
He raised the dead when He was called
upon to do SO. In all Gods oracles con.
ditions are laid down. He will meet us If
we will come. In every heart here this
morning the conditions have got to be met
or they will be lost.
1 tried four years td4ind Jesus, but failed
all that time because did not meet the condi-
tons. I did not give God my heart. 1 per-
sisted in retaining some things that knew
were not right, SO God could not bless me.
But when met the conditions, when I gave
God all my heart, then was accepted. Men
have said all kinds Of things of me, all kinds
of criticisms, but none have ever said was
new fashioned. believe in the old fashioned
Wesleyan theology of conversion from sin.
believe in the forgiveness of sin, SO that we
know IT. We can know when we are convert
ed just as certain as we may know any other
fact.
The text for Mr.. Harrison's sermon was
John vi, 81. "And him that cometh to me
will in no wise cast out"
This is the sweetest promise in all the sixty.
thousand in the Bible. It is the resurrection
from death. 1t is heaven to the saint. Bishop
Buffers last words were tread to me John
vi, 81" That promise has led more sinners
to Christ, than all the other prom Uses put to.
gether.
Oh, I would like to have Jesus kiss me over
the river with that promise when come to
die.
This text is in two parts. First, coming"
You will come to feast.
Some of you think you would come to a
fast or funeral, but no. no, you never knew
a person thoroughly converted who was mis-.

you have not got religion enough.
The Bible says sserve me with gladness.n
Some here may say, 'swhat church shall I
join?" At the end of the way of each church
| there is voice heard 81 am the way" Get
| Christ first and the church matter will settle
itself.
Don't insult God by making the excuse that
you have no convictions. Gods word says
| that "every man has measure of the spirit"
God calls aud invites, and SO you can have no
excuse on that score.
Some are refusing to come, picking
| out some poor, weak hypocrites in the church
and measuring themselves by them.
and thinking they will go to heaven
| if the hypocrites do. Why don't you take
! one of the many pillars of the church whose
| lives cannot be touched by any suspicion, if
you must measure yourselves by some one;
but beg of you measure yourselves by
Christ.
Jesus would not turn away the poor blind
pauper Bartimeus, or the little innocent
| children, will he turn away from any heart
here? But remember the condition. "Him
that cometh." You must come.

above, How many will ''come."
After the sermon about thirty asked for the
prayers of Christians.
At the afternoon meeting, at $3.50 o'clock,
| the church was well filed and was opened by
singing the hymn: "Is There any Sad Heart
| That is Heavy Laden?" followed by. prayer
| by Mr.. Harrison. The hymns "aHavc You
Been to Jesus for the Cleansing Power?" and
Bringing in the Sheaves" were then sung,
and during the singing an opportunity was
given for those who wished to unite with the
church to make it manifest, when twenty-five
| or thirty responded, among them many who
had never taken any steps previously toward
Christian life.
EVENING SERVICE.
The evening meeting was held at 7:S0 in.
| stead of o'clock the interest was go great
the young peoples meeting was dispensed
| with, but long before that time the church
was filled and by 7:40 no room was left, and
| those who came after that were forced to 90
| away.
The meeting opened with The hymn, "There
stands rock on shores of time" followed
| by prayer by DR.. Marshall
We noticed the absence of other ministers
| yesterday, which, as matter of course, must
| be expected on Sunday, as they have their
own churches to attend to. During Mr..
Harrison's meetings the ministers come from
| all the surrounding country, and this has
been no exception, as last week ministers
were here from several parts of Minnesota, as
| well as Wisconsin and Iowa.
The hymn. "Are you washed
in the blood of the Lamb ?"
was then sung, followed by prayer by Mr..
darrlsOn.
Mr.. Harrison then spoke for short time
from the text, l. Kings, 20-40: "Thyself hast
decided it."
eff you have the word of God you are safe.
Wicked men, who I know, who care not for
God, will not allow their sons to 20 to infidel
lectures, but very rarely any are found who
have any objections to their sons attending
Bible meetings. So with this word you are
safe. Every one here must decide for them.
selves. We all decide for ourselves in secular
matters and so we must decide in this matter.
How many will decide tonight"
Upon invitation large number came to the
altar.
The meetings tonight are at 7:30 and s, as
usual.
There have been so far over 100 conversions,
and this is only the beginning.
Tonight the meeting will be a Jubilee over
the first 100 saved.
