here of the London preacher. The mu-
steal features were the same as on the
previous evening. and several promi-
nent ministers and ladies occupied seats
on the stage.
Rev. Marley spoke of Salvation and
It's Significance to the Race He said
that animals knew their masters-the
oxen the man who provided the hay
the ass the hand which fed it. but men
realized not the master from whom
their blessings came.
Everyone" he continued, needs to
be saved. You need to be saved from
vanity, from card playing, from many
other prevalent evils. You need TO be
saved from him who is neither man
nor boy, who spends his hours idly
on the street corners; you need to be
saved from idleness. You need TO be
saved from the vanitieS of dress I
think nothing is more tasteful than a
plain silk dress but the hearts Of
women should not be placed upon these
things. l have upon me a coat which
came from the fleece of q sheep. It
was once upon a sheep as surely as it
is now upon one. The best that can
be said of a wOman's gown is that she
is indebted TO the silk woven for it.
We forget this Indebtedness as we for
get the divine source of all other bless
GILDED ATTRACTIONS.
Mr.. Marley referred to the many
gilded attractions which led men from
simple faith in Christ, and said that
if a theatrical troupe was in one the
alter and he in another he could within
snort time empty the other house.
That" he said, "is to the glory OF
Christ and reflects no especial credit
upon me- | am presenting the truths
which Christ preached TO you in a way
which is devoid of glamor and gloss,
and which you may not have heard be-
fore. l will guide you from sin and
evil by the direction of this book. I
am starting lines of thought which will
preach scepticisn out of you. You
cannot be a sceptic after what I say
to you unless you stultify yourself. An
absence from the spiritual life is I'M
natural and destroys the beauty of
life"
Referring to man as a creature of
providence. he said that all men in the
flesh had three distinctive parts-the
spirit, which is the Will and conscience
which rule where Jesus Christ resides;
the SOUL which is the heart. and moral
nature in man, and the body, which is
merely the residence in which man
lives. Freedom from the body, he said,
gives spiritual liberty. and enables man
TO SC2f as ne cannot now 90 IN the
habilimentS of mortality.
This complicated personality" he
said lis identified with sin, and if you
wish to be saved from hunger and de-
privation and nakedneSs, how much
more ferveEtl- should you desire to
be saved from sin. It is not so much
that we do wrong, but that We are
wrong. If you go into the other world
a sinner you must continue to sin. We
I, -
leaving here. 1t is absurd to think
otherwise. This was illustrated in the
parable of the rich man in hell. His ma
ture had undergone no change when
he looked upon his fellow, elevated to
the bosom of Abraham, and it must be
remembered that if sin continues, pun
ishment must.
GOD DOES NOT TORMENT.
God does not torment, nor torture
You t0fmen. or torture Yourself, as it
was with the rich man in he'll. When
you have sinned while here. these
whom Won have wronged wiz not let
you have peace. There was no spirit OF
Jesus or Holy Ghost, nor was there a
devil with the rich man in hell. Appar
emily he was alone with his own
thoughts. 1t is your character which
takes YOU to the sphere for which you
are fitted.
How are you to be saved from your
condition as a sinner? You cannot
change, even as the leper cannot change
his SPOTS nor the Ethiopian his skin.
Where IS salvation and help to come
from? How can you wash out the blot
of sin, which clings to you like the
stain of blood on the hand of Lady
Macbeth? you must receive Jesus
Christ as your savior.
''Mormonism,'' he continued, has
done a terrible thing in preaching the
redemption by faith and keeping the
Savior in the background So has Ro-
manism and Buddhism and MahOmet-
anfsrI 1'cev have turned away the
minds Of men from the only being
who is competent to save
'An our dependence is in Christ. He
is the only being with power to save
and forgive
