The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1884-01-10
Third Day of the Week or prayer

VOICE.
After which the reverend brother
exhorted his hearers to drop self and
depend wholly on God, and to this end,
recommended that all bow in silent
prayer, continuing for a few moments.
Then that old and, to the christian, ia
miliar hymn was sung, "There is a
fountain filed with blood, drawn from
Emanuel's veins"
AT the close Of the singing Rev. Mr..
Eldridge asked where are the future
clergymen and their wives, the future
judges, governors and great and good
men and women of this and other
lands; in their cradles or on their
mothers knees or at their breasts. He
said home was the most sacred spot
this side of heaven. Here the reverend
brother seemed to feel fully the re-
sponsibility of Christian home educa-
ton for the rising generation. He
read from 2nd Timothy, LIST chapter,
from the LIST to 9th verses, also I'd
chapter, 10th ana 10th verses, Genesis,
18th chapter, from 18th to 10th verses,
followed by earnest prayers by DIR.
Chapman and Rev. Mr.. Eldridge.
Two verses of hymn No. 20, "Pre-
cious Promise, !" were then sung.
The speaker said home influences
were personal. All parents that loved
the welfare Of their children for time
and eternity. were bound To give them
the best example of Christian life rs
well as Christian instruction, so that
under God thhe baneful influences that
surround the rising generation might
be co%unteracted. After q warm and
feeling talk, Mrs. A. c. Tuttle, being
requested, led IN prayer.
Hymn No. 3, "I Need Thee
Every Hour" LIST and 4th YER
ses were sung with the spirit as
appropriate. All feeling that all hui
mar effort without God would be vain.
The Saviour while on earth told his dis
ciples, without Me ye car do moth
ing" His disciples to-day felt very
sensibly the futility of their efforts for
the salvation of their children and the
children of their friends and neighbors,
here and everywhere, without the pre-
vailing cooperation of the blessed
Christ.
An opportunity was given to anyone
to make q few remarks pertinent to the
subject for the day.
Mrs. j. f. Jenkins arose and feeling
ly spoke of home matters in her fathers
family. The remarks made seemed to
touch more than herself, az all felt that
this was a solemn occasion and that the
Master was evidently present.
Rev. Mr.. Eldridge spoke of his sainted
father, who went up to glory while he
was quite a babe, and of his precious
widowed mother gathering her nine
orphaned children daily around the
family altar, and Of the blessed infIu-
ence that went out and followed him
from that Christian home until he gave
his heart and life to Christ and His
work.
d.. Chapman also spoke of his early
home. He spoke quite earnestly of the
dangers to youths coming from the
east to make their homes in the far
west; of gambling bells, licensed and
vawning to engulf the uuwary and the
young; of Sabbath Dissertation; of the
wine parties, the dancing parties and
the glowing notices of saloons and gam
ing dens to be found in the daily papers
of the west.
Rev. Brother Sanders told us of his
precious mothers desire that he should
be an ambassador for Christ and how
her prayers were answered efe he knew
she had thus prayed.
The twenty-first hymn was sung:
"what hast thou done for Me?
Igaye My life for thee
Rev. Messrs. Sanders and Brown then
offered mp short prayers, after which
the benediction was pronounced by the
Rev. Mr.. Sanders.
