thu St. James A. NJ. Z. Church, Of Pitts
burg, preached from the text: My
God! My God! Why Hast Tsou For
saken me-"
Ina orclble and eloquent manner the
sneaker portrayed the agony OF the
Savior In that terrible hour, when bur-
dened with the sin OF mankind, God
withdrew his presence from him as a
tsstimony OF his intense hatred for
sin. aud made an ernest appeal
70 his hearers to turn from sin
and turu 10 Christ. he showed that OF
all mankind, Christ alone was compelled
70 walk the valley Of the shadow Of
death without the sustaining help Of
God: that Daniel, IN the lions den. was
accom- panied by the angel OF the LORD;
that with the Hebrew children 10 the
furnace OF fire walked q fourth like
INTO the Son OF Cod" and that since
those DAYS, however dark or painful
the way, we have all had the promise
Of the Father. ~ will never leave nor
forsake you" c.

IRENE, and the hearty greeting extend
ed TO speaker and his friend Ross, who
accompanied him here, at the close OF
