MUNHALL MEETINGS
The Evangelist Speaks to the Old
Soldier Boys

Simpson tabernacle was filed last
night by an audience differing from any
which has assembled there since the
Munhall meetings began. The first floor
was reserved for the old soldier organi-
cations, and that the late civil war was
a long way back in the past was indi-
Gated from the white neads so noticea-
BILE among the audience.
DR.. Munhali gave short history of
his service for his country from 1861 to
IS, and paid a tribute to this govern
ment for it's care Of the men who de-
Tended and saved it. Before beginning
mis- address he asked Prof. Birch to give
the trumpet calls on his cornet, ex-
planning that Prof. Birch had spent
three years in the United States SER
vice as trumpeter in the band at the
barracks in St. Louis, and Left that he
might enter the service Of the Lord as
trumpeter. J-
The evangelist spoke from John, v:40:
Eye will not come to me, that We might
have life." If Jesus Christ was only a
man, I would have just as good right
as he to say to you "Ye will not come to
me that you might have life." But he
is a very God, and has power to give
life. The Scriptures represents you, my
unsaved friend, as being spiritually
dead. In my text life is offered to those
who are dead. HE that hath the Son
of God hath life. He who hath not the
Son Of God is dead" So much as life
is better than death, by so much ought
you to have this life before you leave
this house. I am a Universalist when
1t comes to reGemption-for Christ died
and redeemed every man, and you are as
much redeemed as any minister on this
platform. But redemption is not sal
walton. They have accepted the SAL
vation Christ has offered. If you have
not, then you are dead, and have not the
life he bought for you
To repent is not remorse. Judas had
remorse, but lie did not repent. Repent
ance isn't joining the church. Many in
the church have not repented and are not
saved. Repentance means to change
your mind and relation toward God
The third thing required of us is to
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Are
you willing in this the day of his pow
er to believe on him? II you are willing
to submit to him and obey him, We have
life. Take him at his word and he will
lead you into plain path, Obedience
marked the life of every true soldier.
God commands you to repent, and the
duty Of the hour is for you to obey
Oh, resolve to forsake the broad road
and turn your back on sin and believe
on Christ, and you can have this life
about which we are talking.
At the close of the service several arosa
and asked for prayer. A short testi-
mony meeting was held and many of
the old soldiers gave testimony Of heav-
enly enlistment under the banner of
Jesus, Christ, and were in for the war
of life.

CHILDRENiS READING.

l readily avail myself of the court eous invitation to contribute an ar ticle for the Christmas number of the GRAPHIC and, because l know 0 nothing that can be of more vita ! interest to parents who read this paper, l have selected as my subject "Children's Reading"
 Perhaps the greatest blessing VIC possess is an almost unlimited sup ply of excellent books. Our age has been exceedingly productive of able writers. "Of making many books there is no end" said the wisest ol men three thousand years ago, and in this regard we are now witness ing the fulfllment of prophecy. Never before in the history of the world has the progeny of the muse been so prolific.
 Only few centuries ago, the best libraries consisted of only five or six hundred manuscripts, but now there are many collections of books containing millions of printed vol umes, and competent authorities say that at least twenty-five thous- and new books are issued every year.
 Mr. Rnskin has said, "all books are divisible into two classes-the books of the hour and the books of all time The distinction is not one of quality only. It is not merely the bad book that does nos last, and the good one that does. It is dis tinction of species. There are good books for the hour and good ones for all time: bad books for the hour and bad ones for al time
 It not infrequenty occurs that a persons whole work, like that of Prof. Joseph Henry. once Secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, and a scientist of distinguished ability, is determined by the reading of a single book. Then how great the need of giving careful aLd constant attention to the character of books read by our children
 The most important part of an education, as think, is the forma- tion of right habits and the devel- opment of right character and, along with this, the cultivation of a sound and wholesome literary taste "a desire to read and study those books that incite to high rosolYe
