A number OF preachers as we'll as il
members, quoted various promises l
which seemed to them the most i'm
portant, making quite an interesting II
collection and well worth remember +
ing by every one, who takes delight in 5
the reading Of the Scriptures. 5
prayer meeting followed, which ;
was productive OF one conversion. '
THE cHILDRENs MEETING. y
Rev. NJ. Shoit was promptly in his i
place at 80, with good audience OF /
young folks, the children's services be- /
Ing more popular than any other. At /
ter singing and prayer. some eight or
ten girls and two or three little boys
repeated verses OF scripture, which
were duly commented on by Rev. Mr..
Short.
MIR. Hamilton, OF Union NJ. E.
Church, made an appropriate address
showing the Importance OF all begin,
ming when they are young to serve the
Lord. and referred to Samuel as an ex-
ample. A little 7-year-old girl after
the meeting romarked to a friend, that
the Injunction OF MIR. Short, ''if you
feel dissatisfied with our singing go
up stairs, look in the glass, and pull
your own hair but do not come out
here to pull mine," was as funny as 1t
was good. showing that 1t madc a

anything else that had been said.
!. AFTERNOON SERMON.
At $50 p. m. Rev. Mr.. Bowman OF
Eilverbrook, announced for his text;
almost thou per5uadest me to he n
Christian" Acts - %. After culo-
Kizing the earnestness and eloquence
OF Paul, he referred to the cost and
trials Of becoming Christian at that
day. Stephen was stoned, Paul was,
beset with evils, the Wuldenses were
massacred, 1000 men, women and
children were burned at tho stake IN
the kingdom Of Spain In ono year. He
hoped that christians would manifest
similar spirit at the present day. He
thanked God that the prosecutions of
the rack and Thunderstorm, with the in.I
QUESTION, hail passed away yet OBJ
stacles to christian Influences still
exist.
The beer seller, the money changers
and the leaders of fashion are adverse
TO christianity. More than the fOrma-
ton OF q good resolution was essential
to conversion. There must be refor-
nation, the commandments must be
obeyed, the Lord must be served, YOU
must do unto others as you would
shat others should do unto you. He
agreed with the Indian chief who said
this was only possible when God
should put new heart in you. lie
referred to the work aud Affections Of
father Hanee and others who are sus-
taineG iA-their suiIerings through faith
In Gods promises. He wished that
some Lne would go far beyond Agrlp-
pa to-day, and closed with u feryent
appeal to all the unConverted to get
over the almost line" and make
haste to flee from the wrath to come.
