At the Baptist Church.

Evangelist Graves spoke to crowd
ed house last night on the same theme
of salvation, and the need of accepting
the same in order to enter into eternal
life. He made special point of the
imperative necessity of prayer. and
also spoke of how obligatory it was on
people to be careful in mating for life.
They should not rush into matrimony
headlong; it was deserving of the most
careful and prayerful thought. The
speaker related his own experience:
how after short time in his attentions
on the young lady of his choice she
had asked him to engage with her il
PRAYER. and In prayer they had been
bound together all of their lives. Mr..
Graves concluded his sermon by a call
upon the audience for expression of
feeling by standing, and goodly num-
Der arose. The revival meetings will
be continued.
The musical event of the evening as
we'll as tina. of the morning service was
the duet between Misses Windsor and
Trumbull: 1t was beautifully given.

The Christian Church.

At the evening service. the pastor
spoke on 'Tninzs that cOnsplre to
assist the proclaim atiou of the gospel"
First the idea of God is always in the
minds of people. However blurred
and feeble the idea may be in the mind
of the heather respecting God, yet
they have such an idea. No people.
did not have some idea of Supreme
being. Perhaps the painted savages
of North America were as blood
thirsty and as little disposed to reli-
gion and worship as any that have
ever been found, and yet they chad an
idea of a Great Spirit and tradition
about the creation a I'd flood The idea
of God did not come by nature. TIE
infidel paper called the New Harmony
Gazette about 1880, stated that reason
cannot originate the idea of an
eternal first cause, or that no man
could acquire such an idea by the en-
ployment of hiss senses and reason. Mr..
Campbell agreed them to put a query
to them where did the idea come from
It is in the word no one will deny. 1t
must have come bv revelation. The
heather have the idea from tradition.
Missionaries do not have to teach them
that there i. superior being.
Second.-There is always an idea Of
a mediator. Every priest that ever
officiated at an altar Jewish Or pagan.
was an embodiment of the idea OF amedi-
ator between God and man. The idea
was realized in Christ. He is the High
Priest. We are now all priests and
kings unto God. It ia wrong to call
anv one priest by way of distinction
Third-The universal consciousness
of sin always makes the spread pos
sible. Conscience has always made

mandates. "The wicked flee when no
man pursues but the righteous are bod
as lion.' One of you shall chase a

pricks him he is tt be pitied above all

Need of Foreign Missions.

Presiding Elder ELLINGTON preached
yesterday morning in Trinity church
from the text, 81 am q debtor both to
the Greeks and to the barbarians; both
to the unwise ard to the unwise. -
Romans IA. The speaker said in the
course of his discourse: Our Christian
sympathies may be weak or strong: but
as to their extent, they can not be con-
fined to less than the whole world. It
can not be exerted in q lukewarm way.
Christian sympathy is based upon di-
vine love. National patriotism is con-
fined to our own country, and to our
fellow citizens; but Christian love
your enemies, and no one but Chris
tiau can live up to this law. The more
low and mean men are, the more they
ought to excite our sympathies.
Our Christian svmpathies ought to ex-
tend to the utt rnost parts of the world
When the Savior di d he left us a will,
and the Apo>t tie Paul was an executor
to carry out the provisions of that will.
Christ calls you to work in his viue-
yard, and Christian obligation is not
bound to limited sphere. The whole
world is our field of activity. Children
never freeze to death or strave within
the limits of a Christian civiliz atiOu
1t is only within the domains of a
Christ an civilization that WON anhood
is hOnored. In China a man is sup
posed to have six souls and woman
none. If a woman is ever to reach
heaven, she must on dying be rein
carnated into the body of a man and
then she has some show for the better
world. In Africa women are slaves.
In India, one girl in 1880 can read,
to one boy in six. In China one boy
in ten can READ. to one g ri in one
hundred. In the United States ninety
pr cent of the girls read-more girls
than boys. One girl baby in four is
killed in China: and in India, the first
thought of a father on seeing a girl
born INFO his home is to provide her
with a husband, and girls are married
off in babyhood in great 10 any cases.
If a husband cannot be found for her,
the next tn ought of the parent is to
have the child killed.
The sp7 aker made strong point
about medical treatment in countries
where the Savior is unknown, and il
Illustrated this part of his sermon by
Chinese and East Indian illustrations.
A baby was brought to a me d cal mis-
sionary 10 China with two bad burns
on its little chest. The parents relat-
ed they had taken it to a medicine man
who did not know what the trouble
was, ard to find out, he poured out a
little gun powder on each eide of the
cnllu s breast ana tOucheQ IL OH. An
other child was brought to medical
with it's little feet, hands
and lips cut and bleeding. The
parents ssid they had taken the child
to medicine man, and to find out what
allied the little patient: the med
iclne man had run darnirg needle
through the members mentioned. That
was the kind of medical treatment OBJ
tanning in the barbarous Asiatic coun-
tries. There was no such thing as
education in China or India. Educa-
tioa must come from Christian coun-
tries and should not the sympathies of
Christian people go out towards these
poor benign ted people in foreign couu-
tries and result in sending them the
gospel of salvation and Christian en-
