TALKS BY EVANGELISTS.
Instructive Meetiogs Conducted Yesterday
hx Rev. Kerr and Johns.


No meeting of the entire series 90
ing on at the Methodist church has
been more interesting or proiita ole
than that conducted by Evangelist
Johns Yesterday afternoon. The bur-
den of his remarks was that love to
God manifests itself chiefly in strict
obedience TO His commandments.
That love controls the tongue. which
i at once an instrument for the
greatest evil and the greatest good.
II controls the actions so that they
are made to conform TO Gods COM
mand TO walk before Him and be
blameless. One woman said she
sinned 80 times every day. This was
utterly at war with the command of
God that we abstain from all evil and
the very appearance OF it. He said
frequently we have the notisn that
this is impossible and grievous. But
love makes il easy. A mother on the
western prairie dug a hole in the
ground and placed her child in it and
then threw her own body over it.
The tempest of flame destroyed her
life. but when her charred remains
were taken up the child beneath was
found alive and well. 1t was not
grievous for her to die for her child
because she loved it. Love mskes
obedience to God an easy thing. The
after meeting that followed was very
gracious, perhaps the best yet held.
In the evening Evangelist Kerr
spoke on The Rock That is Higher
Than l. The writer of the text of
the evening was in n strange land,
where the eXegetes are not agreed.
He was away from his friends. the
privileges of his native land. and es-
peciallv away from the benefits of the
sanctuary. Whether his life in that
foreign land was enforced or voluntary
we are not told. But whatever hard
ships were imposed, and they must
have been great, for he was in danger
of being overwhelmed. when he lifted
his cry to God ne found Him a present
help in the time of his need. People
many times think this can be practical
TO the ministers of religion only. But
the speaker said if u minister with all
the criticisms he has endured, and the
gauntlet of troubles through which
he must make his way, can find deliv-
erance, surely any man under COM
mercial or any other stress of circum-
stances may find deliverance. God :
people have ever been q t led people.
1t was so with Daniel. and the He
brews in the furnace of fire. Yet the
one laid his head down on the shaggy
neck of the beast of the Jungle aud
went to sleep. for God took away its
savage nature for the time, and the
others came forth without the smell of
fire uDOn heir cloth He told of DR.
Cooley, an eminent minister of Ken
lucky. who was having his first eN-
perience in leaving the land of his
birth. The departing divine likened
the scene at the wharf IN New York
to the scene that will transpire at the
final judgment. There were joyous
partings on that dock, because they !
were only for brief season, while
others were fearful. for they would
know no meeting again on earth.
