REVEALS TO WIND UP.
Evangelist Gales at the Y. NJ. c. A.
Next Week.

The series Of revival meetings at the
First Presbyterian Church for the past
two weeks, will close tomorrow. They
have been the most successful held in
the church for some time and the congre-
cation Is gratified with the good accom-
plished by Mr.. Gales
In his sermons he has confined himself
to words which cut to the line, but which
have not been offensive. This considera-
ton for those exhorted and the smooth
ness with which criticisms have been OIL
fered, has accomplished the desired ef-
feet without creating discord and i'll feel
ing. The large congregations which have
greeted the evangelist are largely account
able for by the consideration he has
shown. The fruits of the revival include
u long list of conversions.
Last nights theme was from the eighth
chapter of Romans. fourteenth verse, and
dealt with the important question, Am
1 a child of God?".
There Is nothing in the word of God
to show US that this question can be set
tied beyond the grave" Mr.. Gales said
Time Is TO eternity as a drop water to
the bOundless ocean. Eternity has TO be
spent somewhere, and this place is deter
mined by an answer to the question, Am
I a child of God?' There is but one stand
ard of right and wrong, he said, and that
is the Bible.
Mr.. Gales said il Is not what one intends
TO do that saves him. God says it is
not what man intends to sow that he
reaps, but whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap" Many connect
cd with the church confess they have not
lived Alright, and thereby acknowledge
they have broken every vow when they
promised 20 rcnounce the flesh and the
deVh. When such is the case. said the
evangelist, the persons are not born of the
spirit and are not children Of God. What
IS it to be a child of God? He that be-
lieveth on the son hath eternal life. God
will extend you a helping hand if only
asked to do So
A feature of the revival which has pro-
duced much good is the cottage prayer
