DR.. STAFFORD AT ST. PETERS.
The Eminent Baltimore Divine Heard by
an Immense Conservation.

ST. Peters Cathedral was crowded to
overlooking Sunday night and hundreds
were turned away at the doors. not being
able TO get standing-room in the building.
The occasion of the great gathering was
the announcement that Rev. DR.. Stafford
would preach. The congregation repre-
sented all denominations and shades of
religious belief. and none who heard the
celebrated Baltimore divine were disap-
pointed.
His subject was the Manifestation of
God in Nature and Man" and though he
spoke for over an hour he was listened
ID throughout with rapt attention. Dr.
Stafford has commanding presence, n
strong musical voice, which he never
strains, Is graceful I'm every gesture and
earnest without being violent. His vo-
cabulary is rich but simple, and his logic,
while convincing does not call for mental
effort in following him. He has been a
student OF nature, and while showing how
everything IN nature lead MS up TO a
knowledge OF God. he emphasized the fact
4 a. I'm man there was a consciousness

hood Of God and the brotherhood of our
Saviour, and demonstrated that every
act OF charity we performed was a
manifestation of Cod I'm the world. He
repeated the Lords Prayer in manner
that thrilled every hearer. The collection
which was taken up for the Society Of
St. Vincent de Paul, which IS non-secta-
rlan in its charities, was very large.
