prised the main portion of DR.. MunhaIFs
audience at Market hall last evening.
There was not vacant seat in either
the vast auditorium or gallery. and
many were compelled to stand in the
alsles during the meeting. The regular
exercises were prefaced by service of
song, which included duet by Prof.
and Mrs. TOWner Dr. Munhall's text was
Matt. xii, so: ''He that is not with me
is against me; and he that gathereth
not with me, Scattereth abroad" his
remarks being substantially as follows:

who marched under the stars and
stripes did right in quelling the
rebellion. Shall | ask you to harken
again to rebellion more causeless and
awful than that which came near cost
ing the nation its life? 1t is stalking in
st. Paul to-day, this rebellion against
God and His government. He has re-
deemed us from sin, purchased us from
the powers of death and hell; therefore
we are not our own, having been bought
with prize. The government of God
is good one. Long life. peace and
prosperity are promised His subjects.
Our life, health, food and raiment, our
shelter and friendships are from the
hends OF the great God who reignS in
heaven and i'll all lands of earth.
Every man is against Him who
is not with him, and engaged

than that which sprang from the South
years ago. He offers you everything
that will minister to your best interests,

fires by veterans, each story serving as
smile, and leading up to the logical
conclusion that salvation is free to all
who will accept it. AT the conclusion
of the services large number went into

To TIE LITTLE FOLKS.
Several hundred bright and hapry,
children looked up at Prof. Towner yes
terday afternoon in the House of Hope
church and joined with animation in
the singing which opened the exercises
of the children's meeting. The little
ones were very attentive and very ear
nest in answering the questions put to
them by DR.. Munhall. Tie speaker
had previously announced that lie
to construct wooden
dwelling. The sills were honesty; tho
was uprightness; the ioists
and rafters, truth; the boards, kindness:
the shingles, good acts; the flooring,
Sobriety; the furniture, love. and the
tenant the Holy Spirit, with Christ as
the foundation on which the house was
built. The talk was Of the most in
formal character, and abOunded in
happy allusion and pleasant anecdote.
The singing by the children was fully
up TO the standard, if not eXcelling that
of the previous meetings.
In speaking of truth DR.. Munhall
asked the children if there were any
who had never told lie. No one re-
sponded, but every one looked about to
see if any one had risen. The elders
were then called up, with the same re-
suit. ''Well, did you ever know of any
one who never told lie?"
Eyes, sir" ''No, SIR" were the re-
plies.
Upon asking who the person was a
number of voices rang out clearly

to be division on the matter, however,
and the question was put to vote, with
