Rev. Thomas dc Ciuchy of the Jack
son Street Baptist church, gava an il
lustrated sermon lecture last evening
to a very largo audience. This was
the first of a series of lectures to be
given by him on "rhc Life and Work
of John Bunyan."
Preceding his sermon Rev. de- CRU
chy spoke a few words of advice to the
people who go to church and whisper
and otherwise pass away the time to
the detriment Of others who attend
services Of worship. In his intrOduC-
tory remarks the speaker said that
John Bunyan belonged in history to
the period known as the Restoration
and was born over three hundred years
ago. His education was sCanty. but
nature had endowed him with many
talents. He lived in time when the
commonwealth was nourished in the
blood of his people. John Bunyan was
Baptist, and stood for religious lib
crty. He lived in time when Shakes
peare, Milton and other great men
passed away. He lived in the heart of
England and pressed his way through
thousands of obstacles, and was true
to his convictions,
Pilgrims Progress was record
of John Bunyan's career. He preached
to the largest congregations of his day.
Like Dante he had gone through hell
before reaching his heaven. John Bun
yan was religious crank Cmosr of the
great reformers are Cranksl. Bunyan
was arrested and kept in prison six
years for preaching and exhorting to
the people. During that time his fam
lily lived on charity, and during his
incarceration he wrote the Holy War
and Pilgrim 9 Progress After his re-
lease he again became pastor of Bed
ford church and continued so up to the
time of his death"
Rev. de Gruchy illustrated his talk
with some very beautiful stereopticon
views, showing scenes in different
stages of Bunyan's career. Next sun
day evening study of "Pilgrims Pro-
gress' will be given.

the sermon last evening.
However, he preached a very interest
ing discourse, taking his text from
Gen. 80. He referred to the words God
spoke 70 Adam and said they were
just as applicable to the people of to-
day as they were then. They were
practical, plain questions and just as
important to all. Among the queries
were this one: What progress are
you making toward the eternal life?"
He referred to the outward appearance
of sinful persons, and said they We're
easily observed. The reverend gem
tleman spoke earnestly about the ques-
tions God asked. and said He was ask
ing the same question today, "Where
art thou?" Owing to the stormy wealth
er the audience was quite small.
