the destiny.
A talk on the Importance OF interest
ing children in the Christian life at an
early age followed the afternoon meet
ing. the Sunday school workers and
parents present couldn't but believe that
this work is important to do now.
Friday evening a very helpful service
OF praise, prayer and testimony was heIo'
Mr.. Gale said that God gives us his
book and to back that Christ, that
through him we may see God, the mo-
ment we sin we merit death, and II
nothing had come between, we would
be condemned to die, but God has sent
Christ to meet the penalty and If we are
willing to accept him we may be saved
No one will be lost because he refuses
Christ. He asked the Christian people
TO stand, ant with them those who were
willing to meet the conditions of repent
auce, acceptance of Christ and COMES
sion of him before men, and desired to
lead a Christian life.
At 9.45 Sunday morning Mr.. Gale
spoke very earnestly on faith, urging all
present to pray for great blessings, an d
to confidently expect them. He enforced
the truth with the telling comparison OF
God to a bank president, who would
cash all checks, meaning Gods promises,
that were presented for payment. Many
earnest prayers followed, and Mr.. Lam
bert sang sweet message. The whole
service was delightful preparation for
the regular morning service at each
church.
The union Sunday school service at
1915 was beautiful in simplicity and
A very large number OF
and young people were present,
besides many adult classes. They listen
ed attentively to Mr.. Gale while he spoke
of the development of character. A great
interest was manifested and a large
number took their stand for Christ
Sunday afternoon at 80 an immense
audience OF women attended their special
meeting. Rev. DR.. Barnes, in the opening
prayer, asked that each woman might
see her opportunity and use her influence
for good and that the effect might be
marvellous. Mr.. Lambert sang twice,
each piece being indeed sermon in song
Mr.. Gale made strong plea for purer
nobler living among women and great
er realization of the overwhelming re-
sponsibility OF directing their lives right
ly, also their duty to God Of leading a
Christian life by repenting OF sin, helev-
ing in Christ and confessng him before
men.
Music Hall was well filled Sunday eve
ming to listen to a strong address by
Evangelist Gale who spoke on this Occa
sion to an audience composed entirely Of
men. After a prayer by Rev. c. B. r
Dodge and a solo by Mr.. Lambert, Mr.
Gale announced as his text, "Whatsoevel
man sowcth, that shall he also reap.
He said this was true of nation or ar
individual and was an inevitable law o
God. The nations that had become licent
ious had passed away, and history woulC
repeat itself il any OF the modern nations
allowed mammon to be their God. HI
then spoke frankly and fearlessly Of tn
evils of intemperance, scoring the rum
seller as a man more to be feared than
murderer, aud urged all present to lea
pure lives and tear God. His address wa
| Illuminated by number of strikin
illustrations aud made deep impressio
on the audience.
A very impressive service was that {
Monday evening. Rev. Mr.. French mad
prayer full of aith and power, and II
audience furnished the Scripture, man
giving helpful verses. Mr.. Gales apes
TOR personal work seemed most timel
He said that Napoleon knew the critics
time and threw all his energy there, at
now is critical time in this mission ar
definite personal work is important,
must be accompanied with prayer, f.
with prayer stopped, power is gone. Il
every resident christian leads one persc
to Christ the whole town will be won II
him in FIVE days. Are you willing to {
your part?" Mr.. Lambert sang wi
much feeling two songs, and many hear
were touched with the sweet singing.
Monday afternoon Mr. Gale read
e the scripture the 11th chapter of Deut,
;, onomy, which he called the obedier
" chapter. Verses Of thanksgiving by t
people and prayer by Rev. Mr.. Dust
followed. Mr.. Gale showed how throu
d faith in God, and obedience to him, t
- life may be one of perfect peace, rest a
- sweetness, and that we fail only beca
lg we are satisfied with partial surren
to Christ. Mr.. Lambert's singing ad,
Sc to this same message and was v
helpful.
