children assembled in
the large auditorium, and we'll nigh

their sides with joyousness, and adj
journed with the promise Of another
meeting later.
Last night Mr.. Ostrom preached
one Of his best sermons from the
text: "How then can / sin against
God" The speaker began by show
ing that "sin is separatiuess from
God" and it was this that made the
lot OF the sinner unhappy. He
then announced four PROPOSE
tions, which he proceeded to
prove by scripture and illustrs-
tion. "a man might far better bs
the poorest man in the world than
DO . sinner" He told Of boy who

tramp. After o wretched exper-
fence he wandered into the Florence
Crittendon mission in New York, was
converted, and has since worked II
hours . day among the slums. and
contributed of his slender earnings
to the support of q missionary in
India. at is not the worst thing
to be poor; the worst thing is to be .
sinner. A man might far better

firmed transgresser of Gods law"
Numerous examples like that of

bedridden. yet permeating the whole
city by the sunshine of her CHEEKY
nature. were given. "A man might
better far 60 to prison and live there
