REPENTANCE AND FAITH.
Commencement of Revival MeetIns
 at the First Baptist Church.

Commencement of Revival Meetingp at the First Baptist Church.
 series of revival meetings WAS com- menced at the First Baptist church Monday night. Rev. Dr. H. A. Gordon, Q prominent Baptist divine of Boston, delivered g short sermon on repentance and faith. The church was we'll filled. Dr. Gordon spoke of Paul's going about from house to house preaching the gospel and of the things that he preached. He never missed chance to say a word for God to whenever he met He next spoke of repentance. It should be repentance that humbles oneself before God. A man in the war had been shooting down men around him without knowing what he was doing. He finally raised his gun and shot down 8 man, and not until that moment had he been con- scious of what he had done. He went to him, found letter addressed to his wife and chil- dren. He did all he could to save the dying man. So with regard to sin. Sin after sin is committed. We know not where they strike But when we come to the cross of Christ and see how they have struck in his heart we wake up to what sin really is. We are to repent toward God because he sees our sins just as they are. Men and women are poorer judges of their own feelings, therefore it is necessary for God to search our hearts. was once asked 70 LOOK at piece 0f glass. I could see nothing. was told
 to look again and finally saw small speck
 When took the microscope I saw the whole ten commandments. Just so God looks into your heart when you see nothing. You say you are innocent of sin, but if you could see
 just what God sees you would be alarmed. God puts the sins in the light of his face,
 Our sins are between us and our God; he is between us and our sins. He only knows the depth and depravity of our sins. What comes first, repentance or faith? No one can tell When the hub of @ wheel begins to turn every spoke begins to move at the same time and they move together. Repentance, faith, obedience, love are spoken and when our will turns to God the whole man turns
 Lay all your sins before God and say, 1T am sorry" Remember that repentance means a change of mind. It means that your face, which has been turned away from God be turned toward him. Oh what wondrous change then. If you have your back to God and are walking in your shadow shadow. "He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness It is necessary that we have faith in God. I find many who have faith toward themselves. We are trying to believe that we believe instead of believing on God. Faith is simply the medium through which we see Jesus Christ. It isn't believing something about Jesus Christ; it is believing on him that we are saved. Many get their eyes off the central thing and on to something that pertains to the central You should always have your eye on Jesus Christ. It is not what you know, but what you be- lieve. Christ sustains our faith.
 Yesterday afternoon Dr. Gordon gave biblical talk in the lecture room. He will preach in the church this evening and Thurl- a Bible lesson every afternoon at o'clock in the lecture room zSsf

AT THE YALE GYM.

Athletic Contests In the Gymnasium
 Last N1ght-A Close Pull fin the Tug. of-War Contest.
 The athletic contests at the gymnasium drew another large audience of students last evening.
 Bayard go succeeded in putting the shot 35 feet inches, which includes his handicap thus beating all competitors.
 De Wolf '88 Shelf. made high jump of 5 feet inches, which with the handicap al- lowed secured him first place.
 The chief interest was centered in the tug of-war contest. The Shelf. team withdrew, thus leaving the sophomores without an op- ponent. The strong team from the freshman class was matched against the picked team, which is fifty pounds under weight and has hitherto been considered a doubtful quantity. The freshmen nevertheless won by only two inches. A close pull between any of the three teams still contesting is thus assured.

SIR THOMAS rsmorpE HERE.

The Noted member of the English
 Parliament Visits New Haven
 Received by Prominent Hrishmen
 Home Rule For Ireland.
 Sir Thomas Henry Grattan Esmonde, ,mem-
 Der of the English Parliament, registered at
 the Tontine Hotel last evening in 8 broad,
 clear hand. He was seen soon after his ar-
 rival in this city by COURIER reporter. Sir
 Themas was receiving the respects of a num-
 ber of prominent Irishmen in the hotel par-
 Tor when the reporter was introduced and
 received with a pleasant smile and hearty
 handshake. This noted Irishman is a warm
 friend of Charles Stuart Parnell and one of
 the great Irish agitator's leading aides. Sir
 Thomas has been in America for ome time
 and he came over to thank the Irish and
 Irish-Americans on this side of the water for
 the aid they had given in the past and to
 urge them to join the Irish National league,
 as thorough organization is the great secret
 of success in the cause. Sir Thomas spoke
 at Ansonia to 8 large and enthusiastic audi
 ence Monday evening and in Hartford Sum day evening. He was accompanied on his tour of the country by MT. Arthur OConnor and Mr. John Stuart Owing to i'll health MT. O'Connor was obliged to return home MT Stuart spoke in Philadelphia last even- ing. Sir Thomas is 8 gentleman of most pleasing address and 8 man of marked ability He has a smooth face and is quite young in appearance. In speaking of the present condition of Irish affairs he said that the sympathy in favor of Ireland was stronger now that ever and the feeling was constantly growing. It is stronger because the Tories know that American expression of feeling counts for great deal. The English are beginning to realize that before long this question of home rule must be settled to the satisfaction of the Irish people. It now only remains for Ireland to be patient and not be driven out of it's at titude of passive resistance. The distin- guished gentlemen was much impressed by the picturesqueness and beauty of America. He will be driven about the city to-day. Among those who paid their respects to Sir Thomas were Captain Lawrence O'Brien, Captain Patrick O'Connor, ex-Senator J. D.. Plunkett, Road Commissioner James Reilly and Attorneys Edward Downes and T. J. Fox.
 Gentle'uen in sympathy with the cause of Ireland are invited to attend a meeting at Clan-na- Gael hall this evening at s o'clock to make arrangements for the reception to Sir Thomas Henry Grattan Esmonde at the New Haven Opera House tomorrow evening, where the distinguished Irish orator will ad- dress public meeting on the subject of Home Rule for Ireland.

INTERPRETING LECTURES

Ry Mrs. Shepherd, the Converted Nun.
 Those who fail to hear Mrs. Shepherds leo- ture to ladies only at p. m. to-day in the George street M. E. church on "The Secrets of the Roman Catholic Confessional" will have something to regret. When, by request, that lecture was delivered for the fourth time in one of the largest churches of Provi- dence, R. l., the ladies composing the au- dience had not room to stand. The same is true of other lectures she has been delivering in Fremont Temple, Boston.
 Her lecture for this evening, "My Wonder ful Conversion in the Convent" is simply thrilling. Do not fail to hear it.
 Mrs. Shepherd is well known as an inter- astinR speaker.
