Elder William X. Crosby, promi-
nent Market street merchant, spoke in
East Lake Chapel yesterday forenoon
to an Interested and enthusiastic con-
gregation OF forty persons, fifteen of
whom expressed a desire to have meet
ings every evening this week, man
aged by Mr.. Thorne, which was grant
ed. Elder Charles Baird was an
nounced to speak in the same chapel
next Sunday. II is located at Thirtielh
and Madison Streets about IL miles
from tho Court House, and is nearly
reached by the electric cars.
Elder Crosby's topic was Thanks

seemed to be in the spirit of praise
and was a specimen Christian. This
was because of the divine power and
grace of God, which comes down from
God to mankind and is enjoyed to a
greater or loss extent in every Chris
tian's life.
The burden Of the Elders discourse
was: Thanksgiving to God for ma
terlal and spiritual blessings"
This he discussed under two heads
and a peroration. ...
l. The duty OF thanksgiving In gen
eral for material blessings. Herein he
accredited everything to the goodness
and mercy of God, deprecated COM
planning, advised thanksgiving and
forcibly argued that while we accept
Gods gifts we ought not to forgot the
Giver.
ii. Tho special duty or occasion for
gratitude. Here the speaker brought
In the historic narrative OF the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. A gift Is to be valued
first by its cost and second by the love
and good will that prompted it, "Un-
speakable" was none too great n
word to describe the gift of the
Saviour.
! The peroration was an exhortatlon
TO make practical application of this
gift by accepcfng the Saviour, in re-
pentance of sin, faith and Christian
practice, hope and charity. Reeip-
rocation was the best and only thanks
giving acceptable unto God. As He
had given His Son for us we should
give ourselves to him and serve Him
In our lifetime for the blessing OF
mankind.
| The absence of ministerial style in
the speakers discourse and in his ap-
pearance also. except the pulpit, pre-
sented novel and interesting appear.
nnce. The congregation sang heartily.
It was sincere and remarkably
pleasant worship of God, greatly en-,
ioyed by the congregation ana all
| present.
