Union GOsDel Meetings.

Ou1Ou "VSpCA MOVVAH0S'
Somewhat of u departure from the
usual order marked Thursdays
meeting. In the morning family
worship was held in the different
homes, and it is safe to say that In
many homes the family altar was
erected for the first time, that In
Others it was renewed or the worship
entered into with greater JOY than
ever.
The afternoon was devoted to the
listening of addresses from various
ministers, all of whom spoke
practically and to the point. This
service was closed with shortearn-
est talk on "COnsecratiOn" by Mr..
Hunt and the people left, not only
helped by the proceedings. but with
the resolve to come again in the
evening. This they did in increasing
numbers. and the meeting in respect
| to both attendance and interest was
| one of the best held.
The subject paul before Felix
| was the one handled by Mr.. Hunt.
His legal training and years OF ex-
prrience at the bar have qualified
him in u remarkable manner for
dealing with Bible scenes and
questions in which the legal features
are prominent.
The Indictment made by Tertullus
against the Apostle was explained
and then the speaker dealt with
the characters and position Of the
two chief actors Paul and Felix. The
force of antithesis was never better
seen than in the language employed
in showing the contrast between
these two men.
The effect upon character of right
doing or wrong doing was described
clearly and with force. "Wrong
always weakens, right always
strengthens.' There can be no two
opinions about this yet knowledge
ia not always realization. But last
night rs Paul and Felix came upon
the scene and the audience saw the
| weakness of one and the strength OF
the other, they realized very fully the
speakers statement.
Righteousness, temperance and the
Judgment to come were the themes
upon which Paul discou-scd before
the Roman governor; and Mr.. Hunt
very searchingfy" and with great
power of language which made a
lasting impression upon the con-
gregation spoke upon them.
Each truth was fully defined and
the effect upon Felix wildly
portrayed. In closing Mr.. Hunt
appealed to all present to make
haste toward God tonight.
The great mistake with Felix was
that he postponed decision to
more convenient season which never
came. Tonight il the convenient
season for you. We are never sure OF
the future. We arc of this present.
While then we are now together let
each heart turn to God through
Jesus Christ. The appeal was notin
vain, many, including men promi-
nent in tho community, gave their
hearts to Christ, and it RWas with
great 10y and earncstness the great
congregation sang "Prnisc Godfrom
whom all blessings tlOw.'
The music yesterday was I'M
usually good. Mrs. Staples and Mr..
Browning sang charmingly and so
helpfully, "Though Your Sins BE AS
Scarlet" Mrs. Flynn's solo vas
sweet and spiritually beneficial. In
the afternoon Mr.. Browning rendered
with his usual ability 'Shall You,
Shall I?' In the evcning-by special
request-Mrs. Flynn and Mr.. Brown
ing sang with wonderful harmony
80 Morning Land, by Edward II.
Phelps. How sweet the strain,
"Some day. some time, our eyes
shall see the faces kept in memory
Mr.. Browning gang with great
effect once again "The Gift" and the
sweetest invitation piece in the book
"Softly and Tenderly." Many re-
sponded and came home. What Il
voice to give to the Great Giver.
