who listened TO my voluntary statements
with respect, and treated me with marked
courtesy throughout. told them how !
came TO quit the Presbyterian church min
istry, and why remained separate from
all denominations, AZ an evangelist. After
that the question Of discussion for the day
came up--the cure Of the body by faith
and amounting and occupied most OF the
time, telling what the LORD had done for
me, and how HE had led me from the
first. Many questions were kindly asked
aud kindly answered. The ministers
meeting was purely Presbyterian. Next
Monday III the LORD WILL" go 10 sim
liar one Of the Methodist clergy. It's their
custom thus to meet, separately on Monday
morning, each week, and then once a month
in full general conference one &C
cord, in one plsce"-to compare notes OF
labor, and plans for doing the Masters
work
The meeting is we'll and increaangly
we'll attended. The great audience room
last night was full, with a sprinkling in the
gallery. Sixty-6ve for soul and 10 for body
to date. The afternoon services are very
precious. The lecture room where they
are held is nearly always well filled with
appreciaiive listeners. In fact, everything
goes on az we'll as could ask, with so ma
ny things that are new TO my hearers com
ing out to shock the convictions Of life
time. My only wonder is that so little Of
Tense is given. Aud changes Of opinion
and action come 30 soon in many. OF
course some are hopelessly offended, and
others are sorely perplexed and know not
what to say or do.
Last Wednesday night quite an exciting
service resulted from the challenge from
the editor Of an in6del paper in this city,
who said thst once he had confessed Christ
in good faith, and once had believed on
Him and loved Him, yet now rejected
Him, and the Bible that told Of Him. The
horn Of thel dilemma on which he sou ght
to impale me was this: Have / eternal
life, according to your teaching, since once
in grace always in grace, and once confess
ing, Jesus saves foreverT
Thus fairly, squarely brought to bay by
a practical question that dared not ig-
more, sought wisdom from my dear Lord,
"who gives literally and upbraideth not
and turned loose" on the proposition. |
know not now what said, but it seemed TO
be satisfactory solution to the audience,
and / never was more enterta ined IN
speaking in my life. The effect Of that
impromptn utterance was perhaps greater
than that Of any five sermons have yet
preached. PRAISE THE LORD, who
gives mouth and wisdom that all our adj
versaries can neither gainsay nor resist"
Last night this infdel came up and took
me cordially by the hand, asking further
acqu aintance and conference on the sub
ject in question. ! hope good will come
out Of il to him, as we'll AZ Others.
All we'll; eat heartily; sleep we'll, and
keep to the dear old wsr-cry, PRAISE
THE LORD. Ever in Jesus,

died so heroically to defend their fam.
lilies from the slaughter of a foe, who
regarded none of the usages of civ
ilized warfare. The corner stone Of a
monument to mark the spot where the
