EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.
Meeting of This Religious Body at
the Young Mems Christian
Association Hall

1t was gratifying 10 see the number of
old ministers and business men at the
meeting of the Evangelical Alliance in
the Young Mems Christian Association
Hall last night, and the session was full
Of interest.
After the transaction OF little routine
business the president read predictions
of the Holy Spirits coming from Joel
and Matthew and the fulfilment of
these prophecies at the day Of Pentecost.
Tho president, DR.. Kerr, then spoke
Of the indispensable necessity of the
Holy Spirit.
DR.. Hoge stated as Introductory to the
discussion that there had been eight
great meetings of the Evangelical ALI
ance. The third was held in Berlin, at
the invitation of Emperor William,
whose funeral has just occurred. AS the
interest of the meeting grew his
Majesty's also increased and he invited
the !, 200 members to a reception in his
palace at Potsdam. He said 81 have
long desired to see more unity among
Gods people. I have feared l should
never see 1t. But now l rejoice at the
prospect before me to-day and pray
that the Holy Ghost may be poured ont
upon you as at the day Of Pentecost
Brethren, we are here tonight to pray
for the same object.
DR.. Judkins said that we must have
profound sense of our dependence
upon the Spirit, desire for the Spirit,
and DersOnal cOnspcration
Some years ago these conditions were
fulfilled by the churches in Lynchburg
and there was a revival in which there
were 600 confessions of faith.
DR.. Read said we must desire TO honor
the Spirit. With a magnet you may
write in metallic sand without touching
it. The Holy Spirit is a person of
infinite love, pity, and power. and can
in mysterious ways move upon the heart
and life. We must reject from our hearts
everything offensive and bid Him
welcome.
DR., Landrum said that in the prophecy
of Joel there was an adjusting and
equalizing of things. Old and young
men were reconciled. Women formerly
had nothing to do. Now they have
much. There must be cooperation of
masculine and feminine elements in
Christian work. Rich and poor must
meet together and work together.
Rev. Mr.. Bowers said that the cOndi-
tons are to be fulfilled by u.s. God has
given His Spirit. We must be in one ac-
cord in faith, hope, love, in Jesus Christ.
The meeting was interspersed with
hymns and prayers.
The subject for the next meeting is,
"How May Christian Unity be Increased
and Manifested %
AS DR.. Josiah Strong, the author of the
famous little book "Our Country" is
soon to pass through the city the alliance
resolved to invite him to deliver an adj
dress here.
