PULPIT AND PLATFORm.
PINE STREET CHURCH.


Yesterday afternoon Rev. Mr.. Williams
preached the last sermon of his pastorate at
Pine Street Church to large congregation.
Mr.. Williams has greatly endeared himself to
the people of his parish and the city and his
departure occasions much regret. He took
his text frem Romans 10 :33-"The grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. y
Mr.. Williams referred to the fact of his having
been here for three years and said that
he did not want his people TO look back on the
three years he had spent among them unless
they could do SO to gain new encouragement
and inspiration for the future. If their retro
spectlons did not have this tendency, then the
pastorate had been a failure. The past should
lead from the lower to the higher.
Mr.. Williams said it is the customs of some
ministers near the close of their sermons to re-
capitulate certain points. He recapitulated
some general truths that had been illustrated
during the present pastorate, although only
the more important teachings could be
mentioned. The sermon closed with q brief
discussion of the following propositions: 1. Or
ganization is the condition of human being,
2. All men have personal and individual re-
sponsibilities. g. Perfect religion consists in
what one is rather than in what he does or be-
lieves.
The speaker commanded the closest atten-
ton from the commencement to the close of
his remarks.

enco in temperance work and gave a clear,
well delivered view of the subject The ques-

degree much greater than is generally sup

Carefully obtained figures show the number of
boys and girls in Chicago and other large cities
who are in the habit of visiting beer gardens
and other drinking places to be very large;
and it lis fact that intemperance among
women is rapidly spreading. Mrs. Buell. made
some remarks on the work of the church in
temperance agitations and referred to Names
position. The world is watching temperance
progress in this State. In regard to total pro-
hibition Mrs. Beull said it could only be OBJ
tanned by national action. 1.-THE United States
