The Public Meetings.

At the Sunday school of the House of
Hope between so and 100 expressed
desire to be Christians after brief al
dress by Mr.. SayfOrd.
In the evening the House of Hope
church had an unusually large audience.
An uncommonly large proportional
least half-Were men. Mr.. Sayford'S
buSinesS-like manner has attracted the
men of the city, and his intimate knowl-
edge of men with his shreWd Judgment
enables him to meet other business men
on their own ground. His opinions do
not always meet with agreement, but
they are respected as Sincere. Indeed
his marked sincerity is one of his
strong points. Mr.. Sayford spoke on
'And We Came to Kadish Bamea." He
traced the march of the Israelites up to
this point. "Reliance on God and one
days journey, and the promised land
was theirs" THE Threshold of OPP
portunitfes, and How to Cross IT. was
his subject. Churches come up to this
point and fail, and then 90 back
to disheartenlng wanderlngS. In
dividuals come to Kadish Bamea The
decision shapes their lives. If they
prove unequal to the emergency in bus
mess they join the class who say that
''the world owes them a living" The
world owes no man living. He owes
himself living.
The Illustration of the boy who began

Now you, my friend. are at Ka1iish,
Borneo. If a Christian some work is
calling you. If not Christian you are
now at the point OF decision"
Mr.. SayfOrd had closer attention, if
possible, than at any meeting, except
at the mems meeting,
DR.. Christie gave very plain-spoken
address to his people in the morning
upon ''Self-EXaminatiOn." He carried
out two figures. One was the botanist
comparing the flower with the descrip-
ton in the botany and finding out each
detail until he had ascertained the specie
of the flower. So Christians should
come to the Bible and examine them
selves as to confession, cross bearing,
fruit-bearing, the shining of their light,
obedience, love for enemies. The other
figure was the copyist before picture
of Raphael, who paid no attention to the
faults of the inferior artists, but tried
to copy Raphael's picture. Men need to
pay especial attention to copying Jesus
not finding fault with other church
members. 1t was the doctors opinion
that if those in the church who thought
that the church is getting along we'll
enough, and needed no special effort,
could know OF the backsliding members,
such opinions would be changed,
The afternoon talks to Christians will
be at half hour later this week to ac-
commodate business men, being at 4 80
p. m.
A series of studies will be given
