/ DIR. BROUGHTON At LEADER HALL.
The congregation AT Leader Hall Sun
day afternoon TO hear Dr. l.. G.. Brough-
/ ton was limited only by the utmost ca
pacity of the building.
The service was opened with singing by
| a chorus Of excellent voices, led by Mr..
4
theme was the Prisoner without Hope,
and incidentally spoke Of two classes Of
| peOple-those with hope and those VINO
have no hope
He very forcibly illustrated this I'm con-
| trasting two human beings In felons'
| cells. both of whom had been convicted of
murder 4 new trial had been granted
| one and refused the other. The former
was radiant with hope. believing that the
second jury would acQuit him. The latter
was melancholy and entirely without
hope.
The first class spoken Of were Ike the
sinners who have not gone too far TO be
saved, said the preacher. There are men
| who have been convicted Of their sins, and
| said: mo, God, / won't take you to-day,
/ but at some other and more convenient
/ time" When that time comes he breaks
his promise. Or. BroughfOn said there
are men who have thus tempered with
! God until the Lord has drawn His spirit
| from them, and they are just as certainly
( doomed TO hell as the prisoner, spoken OF
in the second class, is TO 80 TO the gallows.
