must perish. Have you been up
there? If not, 1t Is time for you to |

q man In Jail who Is to be executed |
In July. lie IL suffering from small |
pox, and If You get a pardon from !
the governor for him he Is sure to die |
of the disease. IL not, he Is bound TO |
be hanged. Now, that man is in |
bad fix. If God pardons him he is
saved, not otherwise. t-e Ia bound to |
die anyhow. And 1t is the same way
with the spirit. II needs to be cleaEsed

what conscience dictates to be done,
or warns me not 10 do.
This. teach me more than hell to shun;
That more than Heaven pursue"
The speaker said that sin killed con-
science, and man without con-
science was practically dead. lie ia
cetiously alluded to the stingy sala
ries paid pastors in this city, and
wound up powerful and impressive
sermon by cxerting those who were
outside the church to enter the fold
auiiy responded to his call, after
!, which the assembly dispersed.
