GOSPEL MEETING.
The attendance was large and the
choir greatly augmented on Thursday
evening, the evangelist and Mrs. Nelson
singing beautiful duet called The Re-
| deemer.
Several visiting clergymen were pres
ent and took part in the preliminary
services, including Reverends Fields OF
| Los Angeles, Overton OF The Needles,
and Brainard of San Bernardino.
F. L. Smith, the evangelist, read and
commented upon the third chapter of
the PHILIPPIANS and took occasion to talk
about "blue blood" and quoted from
DR.. Hollands Arthur Bonny Castle, who
asked, in childish wonder, when he
heard OF their aristocrstic acquaint
ances, s'Father, what is blue blood?"
The evangelist claimed that good
honest red blood, surginS, through the
vsins as a result of hones$fabor, whether
of brain or braun, every drop beating
loyal to God, was the kind that He hon
orod. The theme of the evenings dis
course was no confidence in the flesh.
By argument and illustration the
evangelist proved that man was fail
ure and recommended the self-righteout
to read Galations 9th and Goth verse
PauPs awful category of the works Of
the flesh.
He then urged them all to take into
their lives the new principle of life
through Jesus Christ, who alone could
give the victory.
After the sermon q number fingered
for religious council.
The Bible readings yesterday bad the
largest attendance yet. The subject on
Thursday was elf-Examination and
yesterday The Word of God. There will
be no services today, and the Salvation
Army will hold another one of it's char
acteristic meetings. On Sunday evening
the evangelist will preach on Gam bling,
and, as he was addicted to the vice IN
his earlier years, it will prove interest
ing to every one, both members of the
sporting fraternity and Christians.
The services will continue during next
week, and are productive of much good
already.
The criminal suit against Mrs. Julia
James was dismissed yesterday by JUS.
tice Turchill on technicality, when q
new warrant was issued and she has un.
til this afternoon to plead to the new
charge.
