and Several Professions.
There were very large crowds 10
attendance rpon the Broad Street

weather. In fact. the weather, either
good or bad, cuts very little figure in
the size of the congregational it seems.
Ii was good day. There were many
enQuirers and some conversions.
MORNING SERVICE.
The subject was the Second Com
ing OF Christ" "Christ is coming
again." SAID the speaker, "to claim his
bride 1.-THE saved people.) If he should
come today, the dead in Christ would
rise first. Then we who are alive
would be caught up together with
them 10 the clouds. The rest of the
dead (unsaved) would not rise from
tht If graves for another thousand
years after Christ's coming. At the
end OF the world the second resurrec-
tlon takes place, in which only IN
saved have a part. "He that over
cometh shall not be hurt at the second
death !"
The speaker showed that there will
be many Christians alive and well,
when Christ comes, who will not have
to die. behold. l show you a mystic
ry; we shall not all sleep (die) but we
shall he changed in the twinkling o.
an eye at the last trump, ETC." An
urgent appeal was made to the I'm
believers present to be "rObed and
ready when the Bridegroom comes"
EVENING SERVICE.
The preachers theme was portion
of he 81 oh
the burden of the discourse was
"When 1 see the blood, l will pass
over you"
N awful plague was to come upon
Egypt. God made a way for his PEG
pie to escape. They were to procure
their lamb on the tenth and kill it in
the evening OF the fourteenth day Of
the month. 1t may not have been,
personally. the most convenient thing
In the world for those people to obey
Gods commands in this respect, but
Lord expects of us the first fruits"
instead of that which is left, which
we too often desire to give him. Let
US make our own secular affairs sub
servlent to our religion. This will
make US more loyal to Christ while
our business will not suffer thereby.
As they were to sprinkle the blood
upon The door posts OF their houses
for salvation, we are to sprinkle
Christ's blood upon the door posts of
our hearts. 1.-The blood of Jesus
Christ, His Son, cleanseth US from all
sins" They were commanded to go
in at the door and to stay inside.
There was to be no going in and out
This teaches US that when we are
once saved, we are saved. They shall
never die" After they were inside,
there was great work to be done.
They were to cook their passover sup
per exactly as God liked it. 1t was to
be eaten in haste. Their loins were to
be girded, their shoes must be on their
feet and each one must have staff
within the hand There was a long,
long journey ahead OF them and they
knew not at what moment they were
to be called upon to take the first step
upon this journey. Consequently it
behooved them to be reaCy for the
call. Sinner, are you ready for that
call.
Have you the blood over against
your sins? Are your loins girded,
your shoes upon your feet and your
staff within your hand? The call will
come one day for you to 90 forth upon
this long journey. Then | beseech you,
in Christ's stead, be recJnciled to
God
