At the Y. M. G. A. Sunday.
A large crowd assembled at the rooms
on Sunday notwithstanding the rain
"Steadfastness' was the theme discussed
by Rev. Mr.. Cuninggim. The speaker
was at his best, and felt perfectly al
home The closest attention was given
and the address made deep impression
The following is a brief synopsis: The
| word implies solid foundation. We
have an illustration in the building o.
stories. They first dig down deep, remove
and then build the foundation OF stee
Now, the foundation of steadfast life il
| laid in repentance The rubbish of sir
| must be removed. You can't remain 6
| true, bright, useful Christian if you arr
| harboring any secret sin in your heart
Resist manfully as mean, impure sug
| gestions of the enemy Of your soul
| Stand fast for God and the right. Faitf
| is the superstructure. We are to holC
| the beginning of our confidence steadfast
unto the end. This also implies fxedness
| of purpose. Like that grand young mar
! Daniel who, when tempted to indulge ii
the wine and delicacies OF the Persian
court, purposed in his heart he would
not defile himself with the kings meat
Having commenced in the way continue
| steadfast in the faith. Work where Goo
has placed you. Stand fast where yot
| are. Be true to God everywhere an(
at all times. There is hardly anything
impossible to the man of faith and pur
pose Therefore be We steadfast. A mar
of large experience in Christian efforts
once said that for his part he had vel
nigh blotted the word impossible ou
of his dictionary. God was so great ant
powerful and so willing to help him il
his battles for the right. Plan grea
things for God; expect great things from
God. Carey's words are great with in
| spiration for young men. This life o
steadfastness gives great pleasure tt
those about you There is nothing thai
rejoices the heart of a true pastor OF
worker for God like association Will
those who are trying to live for God. HI
esteems it his Joy to help those ant
| counts no service too dear if he may bu
encourage the soul in loyalty and fidel
| ity. Then it has it's reward. A fadeles
crown will be given you at last and ever
lasting bliss your portion forever.
