LAST NIGHTS SERMON.
Last night Mr.. Jones preached to an au
dience not at all lessened from that OF the
day service. His text was the seventh
verse OF the last chapter OF Revelations
1.-THE spirit and the bride say como. Ant
let him that heareth say come. Let him
that thirsteth come. And whatsoever will
lot him take OF the water OF life freely
He first dwelt on tho fact that this wa
the last message from God to man. Hi
dwelt upon tho important days Of the
worlds history ChsraCterizlng them: The
day OF creation, the day Of fall, time Of the
deluge, day OF the destruction OF sodom
and Gomorrah, the day OF tho birth Of
Christ, and the day OF His cruciixlon, were
each dwelt upon and compared finally
with the day Of Christ's ascension
And the reason for Christ's ascension was
mentioned, that tho Spirit may come
And finally and last, tho day Of the coming
Of the Holy Spirit was pronounced to be
the great day OF this earth, because this
was tho great agency Of God for the con
version Of tho world; that which mGket
the atonement OF Christ available for the
purpose for which 1t was made. The in
vitations Of the Spirit and the bride III
tho church were treated Of. And 1t was
declared to be tho duty Of every man
whether saint or sinner, to invite those
around him to come to Christ.
Mr.. Jones asked how many oil his audi
ence would like him to come back next
year, and all rose. Then he asked oil to
rise who would promise when they left IL
turn over a new leaf, and large number
rose.
