Then 10 show the power OF Christs
work portion Of the chloride of potash,
which represented Christ's work, was
turned into the mixed poison and wa
ter, which was soon changed from blood
red to the transparent clearness of pure
water. This represented the way in
which Christ's influence could clear the
heart Of the evilly influenced boy Of
sins. But" said Mr.. Dick, "the poi
son remains yet In the water, and this
illustrates the fact that If the boy is
purified from sin and he is forgiven by
Jesus the scars of his iniquity remain
during the rest of his life"
During the few moments required for
the chloride of potash to restore the
olearness of the water Mr.. Willis and
Mr.. HGrSgson, accompanied on the or
gan by Mr. McDermott, sang Though
Thy Sins be as Scarlet, Thou Shalt be
Whittier Than Snow"
AT the conclusion of his talk Mr.. Dick
called attention to Feel, 12:1, "Remem-
Der now thy Creator in the Days of
thy YOUTH" and requested all those
boys present who would promise to
work for Christ to stand UP. About 100
boys did so, and they were requested
to meet at a special gathering In the
church parlors, where Mr. Dick gave
them special words of advice as to rules
of conduct in keeping with their prom
Use.
The meeting was attended by fully
$50 boys and was one of the largest
boys meetings ever held in New Ha-
ven. The address interested not only
the boys, but also the older people, who
made up part of the audience.
THE WOMEN'S MEETINGS.
At o'clock meetings were held in
both the United church and in the
Church of the Redeemer. The former
meeting was for women only and was
addressed by Mrs. e. M. Whittemore
of New York. The church was COM
pletely packed, every seat in the edifice
being occupied, while many filled the
available seats on the stairs and large
numbers stood up. Mrs, Whittemore
spoke of work among fallen women and
her efforts in their behalf, telling her
sad experiences with them in her res
cue work. She said the time had come
for women to exert themselves for the
unfortunates on fthe streets and strive
to bring them to Jesus Nothing is
more horrible than the condition of
these women, and one realizing their
condition cannot help feeling a greater
sorrow for their living than for others
dead. These women want to feel the
hands of friends and are only too glad

Some amusement was caused during
the meeting by a man striding up the
aisle with all the confidence of the
stronger sex, but as he had reached
nearly the front seats and was about to
sit down he happened to glance over
the congregation, and seeing no one but
| women his courage forsook him and he
beat hasty retreat out of the
| church.

A pleasing feature of the meeting was
| the singing by Mr.. and Mrs. Elderkin
| in their peculiarly melodious manner,
rarely equalled in music of the sort they
sing. The song which was especially
| good was Blessed be the Tie That
| binds"
| AT the close of the addresses all those
