DOING A GREAT WORK.

The work which Mr.. Charles Critten-
ton, the merchant evangelist, of New
York city, is doing here is worthy of
special notice. He is u member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, in which
he was for years u vestryman and sc ssion
warden. and has seemingly been raised
up for great work rs q lay, evangelist
all his efforts having been attended with
marked success.
For years he gave the closest attention.
to his business, which resulted in the
establishment of one of the largest whole
which still bears his name. His style of
speaking is somewhat similar to that of
the late Phillips Brooks, OF Boston, and
such is the rapidity of his uttcrances that
it is difficult for even the most expert
stenographers to keep up with his dis
course.
His manner is most inspiring, his face
lighting up with JOY and beaming with
kindness and good will for his audience
as he stands up proclaiming the promises
of the Gospel. His power evidently. rests
upon his thorough conservation, intense
earnestness and intimate knowledge of
the Bible, from which he quotes with
great ease and accuracy. His scrptural
applications are not only practical but
strikingly suggestive, and he is most
thorough believer in the Biblical state
ment, 'Thy word shall not return unto
me void. but shall accomplish that where
