Pastor Bradley discoursed to q large
congregation frem 139 Psalm, SIP
verees. His theme: The Divine Immi-
nent." 1t was an able discourse. In
the evening he gave one OF his series in
the life of Christ to o large congregation.
Christ returns to his native soil, Galilee,
found his conntrymen waiting to re-
ceive him with honor, for they had heard
of Ills mighty works in linden and
Jerusalem. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess. Men cautious about honorlng q
man until they find him honored by
others. This accounts for the TACT that
the multitude is SO tickle. Much of
what we say about public men is not
what We believe in hearts, but what
we think it is fashionable to say and
that is always fashionable that succeeds.
In one day no one is 80 unpopular es o
defeated candidate and he who succeeds
receives our respect today, whom only
yesterday we a the harshest, names.
When he reached Cana, where he had
turned water to wine, he was met by q
nobleman who held q high Office under
Herod. He lived OF Oapernaum and
bad come twenty miles to ask him to
come to his house to heal his son, who
was lying sick unto death. He told him
except ye see signs and wonders ye will
not believe. The ruler cried out: "Oome
down ere my child die" Jesus saw his
faith and SAID, go home, that his son
would live. Jesus meets in the Jewish
synagogue an insane man who was said
in those days to be possessed of q devil.
Ignorance of nervous disorders in that
day led the people to characterize those
thus diseased as possessed OF demons,
while we call it insanity, or epilepsy, II
1t was true in the time OF Christ that
men we're actually possessed of demons,
and not merely insane as they are now,
1t does not necessarily follow that spirits
aud demons enter men and possess them

mems souls and make them mad to-day.
There is the demon of drink, which
sends men staggering about with profane
and unolean words on their lips. There
is the demon of opium, destroying the
moral character. There is the demon of
lust, blasting and devouring many q
beautiful man and woman. The demon
OF greed and se~lfishness, bIighting the
generous and making slaves of the null
titudes. When he reached Oapernaum
the Pharlsees and doctors of the town
came to examine into the orthodoxy of
Jesus. 1t made little difference with
them how much good o man was doing.
The important question was, does he
agree with us in our doctrine? Levi is
called to be q disciple of Jesus. Levi
was a tax gatherer. The people hated
tax gatherers, because often corrupt and
unjust in their exaot1oDs. The tax
gatherer has never been q popular char
acter among men, especially where the
tax demanded is not voted for by the
people. The close Of the sermon closes
the first year and q half of DhIist'a min1a-
try. All these months we're but an in

Pastor Burdick, of the M. e. church,
discoursed IN the morning on the "New
Name" A new name means a radical
change of life, regeneration. In heaven
it will commemorate the victories gained
on earth. Reference was made to the
change in the names of Saul to Paul,
Jacob to Israel. In the evening the
subject was "War in Heaven Ist-
When Satan was cast out OF heaven. I'D
The conflict between the Lord Jesus and
Satan in this world. 3j-The anal VIC
tory at the resurrection. The largest
congregation Of the year both morning
snd evening.
Rector Bohn, OF the Episcopal church,
~discoursed in the morning from the
words: "We Shall All Appear Before
the Judgment Seat OF Christ" He
spoke of the judged and the sentence.
Of the judge he said: HE is
q meroiful Judge, He is a
just Judge and he Is impartial
He spoke OF the different classes judged
the good, the oppressed, those who
outraged sin and order aud morals.
The evening had ISLANDER" for
its theme. Atown OF 5000 or 1900 in
habitants was a paradise for the SANDER
er. There each knows the business of
every other person. There they look
Though your window and see what you
have for dinner and what you will have
for supper-see through yonr key hole
in your door more than another could
see with the door wide open. 1 have
more respect for the harlot, for she does
not deserve any one, than for these in
fashionable society who cover tiger
claws with India shawls and bolt the
hell of their hearts with q diamond pin.
The tendency of this evil inclines more
to the masculine than the feminine
class. Husbands forbid wives going TO
the sewing circle, because of the preve-
lenee OF gossip in SANDER of neighbors,
while OF stores. counting rooms, banks,
and street corners. you may hear the hiss
