forward with his assignments when
reached, and the probabilities are that
as no available hall in the city will
hold the people double services will
be held in separate churches. Every
agency Will be used that grace pro-
vides to make this meeting of won
certul and pcrmanet good results.
| The sermon last Friday night on the
demands of the situation and the duty
or Christians in Cincinnati in the
present emergency, was one of un-
| usual tervor and power. 1t created a

and caused many persons to grow
serious with unusually pertinent
thoughts about their own lives, and
daily examples. The effect of the
sermon will be great upon tho future
progress of the work in this CITY.
