THE B. F. MILLS MEETINGS
Continued from First Page)

Continued from First Page0 his assistants Rev, MT, Murray and Rev Mir Bierderwolf, It is especially requested that ladies attend the noon and afternoon meetings. as at those there will be more room than at the evening meetings. All men who can leave their business during tha noon hour are urged to attend. In Colum- bus. O., where MT. Mills conducted meetings previous to coming here, fac tory owners and merchants allowed their employees to attend the noon meet ings by giving a half hour extra noon- ing.
 MT. Mills then read from the fifth chapter of Matthew and announced as his text verse 47 of the same-"And if ye salute your brethren only what do ye more than others2" In substance he said:
 If the religion of Jesus Christ is not practical it is not worth having; if 1t does not change us and transform us and make us better and what we ought to be, there is no use of practicing 1t at all. Christ never uttered more perti- nent and at the same time words more tender than What do ye more than others?' In what respect do We differ from any man who is not a Christian? Personal purity is a great thing, and an actor in whose act occurred the eXpres- sion oh, heaven. and as he said it looked towards earth, so some of us are ready to say heaven with our lips, but say anything but heaven in our lives. Real Christians can be told every day by their regard for purity. Many church members are not pure people while many not church members would lose their right hand before they would do a dishonest thing or an impure thing.
 Many men get some of the graces of Jesus Christ by some sort of outside imitation, that people may admire and respect them. There are many people in this world, who are not Christians at all who would not think of retiring to rest without praying or going through a form of prayer, but the char acter of some church members is not any argument against the church of Christ. I believe that one of our mod en philosophers is right when he says that what the world is waiting for is the Christianizing of Christianity The sermon was an effective one and the vast audience listened intently to every syllable which fell from the lips of the speaker. His address was eio- quent and delivered in such a way as to deeply impress all hearers.
 The service closed with hymn by the choir and congregation. Rev. Dr. Twitchell pronounced the benediction.
 The overflow meeting in the base aIc aa hv 1ar and attentive audience. Rev. pr. F A, M. Brown, pastor of the Presby- terian church, presided and Rev. J. H Murray made the chief address. MT Mills at the close of his talk upstairs spoke briefly at the overflow meeting on much the same lines as he spoke at the main meeting. The choir was led by c. II. Mann, chairman of the music committee, and the music was furnish ed by piano, at which w. H. Baldwin presided

Mills and some of his assistants This plan has been tried in other place: and much good has come of it. The places of holding such meetings vii not be previously announced, as it i: thought that such announcement would attract too many of a class no desired at the meetings and at tht same time keep away those whom it i: desired to reach.
