l a
church was well filled again last night tc
hear the gospel. Mrs Peake selected al
her tex ,"Thov shalt call his name Jesu,
for he shall save his people from theil
sins." AS one of those who have beer
saved from the power and pollution of str
by Jesus she preached MIN in great power
and carnestncss. Mrs Peake knows little
else than Christ and him curci6ed. Shs

which shows the culture of schools, reading
ana travel; but her mind is now entirely
devoted to the one thing-Jesus She
relies upon the Bible to prove all state
ments. Her shots last night were of this
character, Jesus saves the lost. The lost

dents. Jesus saves sinners. Who are
sinners? Those who sin. What Is sin ?
Here size started upon common ground
which all agree to and constructed bihli-
cal definition of sin in an ever ending
circle which at last included the entire
race, and many received new ideas upon
that familiar subject. Jesus saves sinners
of course by his atonement The fact
=. that Jesus comes between people ard
their sins separating them as tar as east Is
distant from west was a comforting pre-
sentation 10 view of the comprehensive
definition of sin. Especially when she
reached the climax of Gods goodness In
saying that he will remember our sins no
more for Jesus sake. Several decided
for Christ. A deep spirit Of earnes,ncss
2revades these meetings. The Bible
readings at O'Clock are growing In favor.
Those who want to understand The teach
IingS of the God should n OF fa.l Of this
opportunity.
