Dr. Kunhall Discourses on His sa-

Or. Kunhall Discourses on His sa-
tanic Majesty
DR.. MunhalIs discourse yesterday af-
ternoon was about 1.-THE Devil" He
IL more than an influence; he is a per-
ron. The Scriptures always speak of
him as a person. The Bible says, "He
was sinner and a murderer from the
beginning" He Is the arch-deceiver;
his favorite disguise is "as an angel of
light" He Is the god Of this world,
and tries to rule 1t with a rod of iron.
Hence 1t is SO difficult to dislodge him
from politics and business.
Ninety-seven persons were present at
the noon prayer meeting yesterday in
the First Methodist church. The chill
,dren's meeting conducted by Mr.. Birch
had q larger attendance yesterday after
noon than It has yet had.
At the eveningNervice the ladies gave
good reports OF their morning prayer
meetings, showing that they are in
creasing in number and spirituality. Mr..
and Mrs. Birch sang a duet. What Will
You Now Do With Jesus?"
"A certain king made a great supper
and bade many" was the subject OF
the sermon. Notice also that those in
vited "all with one consent began ia
make excuse" Scrutinize the excuses
made for not coming to the gospel feast.
Hypocrites are like counterfeit money
they show that there are genuine saints
and coin which Is noble and precious.
No one initiates what Is not good or VAL
liable. How can the church be made
better unless good people go in to it
and work hard to make it better?
Standing outside and criticising and
throwing mud is what any fool can do,
and does no good, but rather harm.
The triumphs Of war or business are
not gained by making excuses for doing
nothing, but by doing the best possible.
After the sermon DR.. Munhall called
on Mr.. Barber. DR.. Day and Mr.. Smither
to give their testimony. and they re-
lated their experience in conversion.
This afternoon DR.. Munhall will give
a Bible reading on Prayer"

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW

New York, Sep. PAR. G. Dunn 4
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
in its issue tomorrow:
Gold imports have begun direct from
England and from France, besides the
arrival Of 81, OO0, 900 at San Francisco
from Australia Cor wheat exported. The
gold received there and started from
Europe mount TO Sc. SOC. 900 in four
days. and the advance Of its rates by
the Bank OF England to 2h per cent
seems little likely to check the move
ment in view Of heavy merchandise bal
ances due 10 this country and a rise in
the rate o. interest here. The August
excess OF merchandise and specie ex-
ports, and over imports was lot FAR
from $42. OOO. 900, and the September ex-
cess will evidently be larger, unless
shipments OF gold are considerable.
Merchandise exports from New York in
three weeks Of September have been
1873 per cen over last years and i'm
ports 1877 per cent less, and like changes
on the whole trade for the month would
result in net exports OF $50. 900, 900 mer-
chandise. besides silver.
