er Of the morning, assisted by Rev. a.

Rev. Fairfax read the 18th Psalm, and

from the prophesy of Zachariah. 18th
chapter. 20ch verse: Holiness Unto the
Lord
The preacher made an earnest plea for
holiness in our business relations, in our
relations with our fellows, IN our fam
lily circles; for Righteousness exaIceth 4
nation That community or people only
whose lives are pure. whose motives are
sincere; whose actions are above CenSure.
who sustain a close and abiding touch
with God, can receive His approval, or be
honored Of Him He that bonOreth me-
Will I honor, saith God II We would
see God in our homes; if we would toq1ch
ard better the lives Of men; II We would
become a blessing TO our time and gener-
alton. we must inscribe holiness upon our
garments. and exemplify holiness il our
lives. BE ye holy for I am holy" cries
out the Almighty God in no mistaken
tones that can never be siIenced. Oh,
brethren, we need more holiness among
our gospel ministers; we need more hoIi-
ness in our churches, We must make no
compromise with evil. but oppose II when
ever found Let US set ourselves against
the gambling helIs. against the dives Of
infany. against that species OF lust that
co-rupts our best homes. debauChes our
daughters. leads our wives into sin, and
makes wrecks Of cur sons; and LEI rs
write holiness upon every fibre OF our
being. IN this way only can we realize
thai which IS best IN Us. meet our Fa-h-
er's approval. and prove q blessing -
humanity.
