AT 1880 o'clock last night Evangelist
Schiverea addressed large meeting at
the Rescue mission and also a meeting
following at the Florence mission,
when about sixty persons were gath
cred.
Mr. Schiversa spoke Of the glorious
invitation of the Master to the feast
and his command to bring in the
hungry. Heaven was a feast where
there was everything 20 enjoy. The
parable showed Gods great love to sin.
full men and women. Some people
had an idea that q religious
life was sad life, but Jesus
invited them to feast, and feast was
a place Of JOY contentment and salts
faction. The reclaimed girls in
Chicago told him so, and that they
were surprised TO find things in re-
ligion to make them joyful and con-
tented. There was only one life and
one real Joy, but there was two kinds
of pleasure. There was pleasure in
sin, but it was awfully expensive. A

THE BEAUTY OF HOPE.

never again to live a life Of sorrow.
God bless you, and may he give you
grace to accept his invitation"
Mr. Schiverea addressed a large audi.
ence last night at the Gospel Tent and
based his remarks upon Eek, 11:39
and said: II have received letters
recently from intidels who ask me.
How can God be a God of love and
send souls to eternal suffering, but
there is not verse in the whole scrip
ture which authorizes ony one to say
that God sends souls to He'll but never
make their beds in He'll against the
kindness of God. God is the essence
Of love and he couldn't send any soul
to perdition.
"Notiee. my friends. God says that
he has no pleasure in the death OF
souls, and this we see by this book in
which he says 30, 900 times that he has
no pleasure in the death Of souls. Take
the Bible away from our homes, our
country and what 10 there to show us
any hope Of eternal joy 2 Aud that /!
why say this dear old book is worth
it's weight in gold"
