Rev. Homer T. Wilson faced another
large and expectant audience in the
Y NJ. c. A. rooms yesterday after
noon at 4 O'Clock, who had come 10
hear him finish his course Of four lee
lures 10 the young men Of the city,
on the "Dcceitfulness OF Sin" There
was just as much interest, just as
large crowd, and his able words We're
just as well appreciated as ON any
previous occasion
From the beginning he was eloquent
in the extreme, and followed u line of
incontrovertible argument
He showed how sin comes in disguise.
How 1t sang siren song fairly be-
witching in Its sweetness, til Its victim
become smitten with It's alluring wlles
entered the maelstrom and then over
the precipice to the abyss of damna-
ton below.
His every lesson was illustrated till
child could understand his fun
meaning and embelished with climax
that seemed grand to his hearers. 1t
did all those present much good and
the thanks OF every one are due to
Rev. Wilson.
The Young Mems Christian assocla-
tion Is to be congratulated on sccur-
ing such an excellent feature to their
work, and all hope that Mr. Wilson
Will consent to address stheW again.
