a Large Meeting at tho

A greater number OF persons attended
the gospel meeting OF the Y. NJ. @. A.

and this worthy successor OF the great
Moody in discourse on Soul Poison
held the wrapt attention OF his auditors
for more than an hour.
''The Great Creator OF all life has
created in his wisdom that which will

Major Hilton did not speak of but two.
The first Is profanity. This country is
becoming nation OF profanity. France

respect, but people who travel say that
America ia far worse now than any other
country.
II have heard people stand up and

"a great many men swear to clinch
their argument and emphasize it. What
we need in this country is missions by
the hundred. We need more hand
clasps and more God bless you than
ever before.
"These are the days OF dollars and
cents and men think more for the dollars
than for their souls.
"Why is it the British are carrying on
this war with that little bunch of hal

"Snit is all over the world, the big
