Then after congregational singing Mr.
McSorioy announced his toxt as found IN
Romans, II: "To all that be In Rame
beloved Of God, called to be saints. Grace
to you, and peace from God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christi
Mr.. McSorloy brought cut tho point
that the source Of the call was from God
with fatherly affection. 1t WAS univeral.
1t was call to God, to u new character.
No change of character is acquired by o
false religion, and this is one Of the unique
phases of the Christian religion Character
does not come by growth, but by spiritual
regeneration. Wemust not substitute re-
formation for it.
Mr.. McSorley also brought out the fact
thnt Paul's call was to new life. The old
life Is thatso sin; the new that of q saint,
which y possible only if we have neWS
character Of usefulness. 1t was also n call
to a new destiny, that of righteousness.
John Young OF Chester Immediately af-
ter the sermon started an old Methodist
hymn, "Throw Out the Life Line" and
nearly every person ut the services Joined
IN the singing, making tho woods echo
Mr.. Young became SO worked up in his
testimony and in singing that many peo-
plo thought ho would become exhausted.
The young peoples service at 6 30 o'clock
was also attended largely. The gathering
clouds had caused many to leave the grove.
and 1t was fortunate that they did as bs-
| fore the service was concluded the rain fell
in torrents. 1t continued until the hour
OF preaching arrived, and when Rov. Geo
Townsend assembled the pulpit to preach
he found only handful Of worshippers.
He did not abate interest in his talk, how
ever, and for almost an hour talked from
the text, Jeremiah IS. 9: TO- house of
Israel, cannot do with you as this potter?
saith tho Lord. Behold, as the clay is in
the potter's hand. so arc ye in my hand, o
house of Israel"
The singing was kept up until lato
hour by tho congregation.
