"WhoSOever."

The interest in the Munhall meetings
seems apparently beyond the wrath of even
such storm as ragged in the city yesterday.
good gathering was present at the Sixth
street NJ. Z. Church in the afternoon, and a
large audience was present in the evening
at Armory Hall. The topic of the after
noon Bible reading was Separation from
the World" He based his reading mainly
on Matt. vi, "A Ye cannot serve God
and Mammon." The drift of his exposi-
ton was in marking out the line between
the permissible and the forbidden to the
protesting Christian.
The text for the evening service was
whatsoever" taken from John Ill, Is and
II: " For God so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whose
ever believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life. For God sent not
His Son into the world to condemn the
world but that the world through Him
might be saved" The sermon was we'll
timed and forcible. That passage of Script
ure, he claimed. opened wide the doors of
salvation, and all men who are willing and
DESTROYS can be saved. He said there was
not man or woman within the sound of
his voice, but what had heard the word of
God discussed, and all such who are will
ing 10 admit its truth would be enabled to
receive salvation. Some have ears to
hear, yet hear not; some eyes to see
yet see not, for their hearts are
hardened, and they will not hearken to
the spirit which says come. There is alb
solutely nothing between you and saliva
tion, if you are willing to receive it. There
is nothing Tor you to do, if you wish to be
saved, but to surrender to Jesus not a

ing. There is room in heaven for all-for
the fallen as well as the moral, the most
despicable tramp as well as the most intel
ligent and respected man in the commu-
nifty. Jesus came not to bring the right
eous, but sinners to repentance. All we,
like sheep, have gone astray we have
turned everyone to his own way, and the
Lord hath laid on Christ the iniquity OF
us all.
Atthe close of his sermon, which through
out was an eXhortation to all to surrender
TO Christ and fee from the wrath to come,
the congregation sang Just as | am, with
out one plea during the singing of which
all who desired to become Christians were
requested to go forward. The minister
urged all who had not espoused the cause
OF Christ to do so at once; this was their
time and their opportunity. Who will
be the first one? Is there a soul here that
wants to be saved ?" One young man went
forward at the close of the hymn, and the
minister exclaimed Are there others
that will come? Come at once. If Won
want to be saved will you not come?
Only one young man in all this eongrega-
ton that wants to be saved, after we have
so forcibly presented the truth? This
meeting is dismissed, and / hope YOU will
all go home and pray for the salvation of
the many. will remain and talk to this
young man myself"
