The REV. George Rees OF PhiIadeiphia
spoke upon the subjeot Of the "Unusned
Talent IN the Dhmshes.n He said II is o
we'll known iesot that numbers OF men and
women in the churches have as yet failed
TO find any sphsro Of duty for themselves.
| There is difficulty in 6iidiug positions
for men of ability on account OF the Pc
culisr idios, neEasies of our church. In
other churches certain men, nt present
unsuccessful would be sipgulsrly blessed
wers they surrounded by those other in
fiuences. The young should be given
sibilit,os properly belonging TO them. We
should not bo too closely welded 10 old
customs, ue should bs ready to take mp
every opportunity that rffars itselt. Is
not the solutiup of the great question of
the day In regaEd to the "Failure of Mis-
sionsp by Caron Taylor TO be found in
the course OF action Of the Salvation
ARMY.
In discussing tho above subject Harry
Enmnzs, Esq referred to the modem
cubt1m OF nfnalgamating buslness CON-
Germs by which o larger amount Of bust
, ress, and that with greater facility ia
accomplished. 1'ne speaker suggested
the idea of an amaiganstion OF the talent
, of the various churches, Methodist, Bap-
tist, Presbyterian iuto species OF Sun
, day-school trust. The tima will come,
, thought, when all will be one.
, The Rev. q. W. W. Bishop spoke upon
the Means for Obtaining Revival. The
{ speaker thought that the revival was often
/ needed because there was no leader in the
a church. II q Gideon came then the host
, would appear also. The Rev. W. l..
a Patton spoke rpou the subject Of the
1 .Hindraucesto Revival" He consiiart
8 theologically speaking that the two hind
/ RANGES are the carnal neture of man and
!. the influences Of satan who undermirea
! the work OF God. One great trouble ia
a the lack of attendance nt religious wor
chip. The membership that does not nt-
IS tshd need the revival. They are weak foI
10 lack of food and therefore need revival
Il The next speaker was the Rev John
a Peddie, d. D.. who spoke upon the sub,
a ieot, 1.-THE church nesded by the world. u
n The sraskar Ed the bread came 10 the
o hungering thousands by the miDisSratior
a of huinsn hands. Had Christ offered the
o miracle direct the hungry people would
n not have been able TO overcome theiI
n wonder and their physical suffering'
IL would not have been appeased. The
ID angels' time would have been occupied il
10 assusging their fears. But the disciplet
IL went around and ministered. The CRY
q. steome over and help us" can cnly be fnl
filed by iDinistrations from the ohuEchI
hands. We gain more by serving thar
!, by suffering. Activity as we'll as agony
perfected our Lord, they were his two
IN feet of perfection. God will send yo'
- !. on errsnds OF mercy before ne makes yor
Y ready for your inheritance. The myster.
80 ~ OF evil will be ended if not explained b.
~ the godlike mystery OF good.
