 Father Officer preached the sermon at
 Trinity church at 7;45 in the evening.
 He took for his text, Depart From Me,
 For Am a Sinful Man, o Lord" After connecting his thoughts with the Tues
 day evening sermon, which was on con-
 version, he went on to speak of the
 two things which kept men from turn
 ing to God "a failure to perceive Gods
 holiness, and an unwillingness to give
 up their own sin. He developed these
 two points in the course of the ser.
 mon, thus leading up to Father Hunt
 ington's instruction.s The instruction
 was d definite clear-cut explanation oi what sin really is. He defined sin ir the following words; "Sin is the de. liberate contradiction in thought. word or deed, of the perfectly holy will oi God by the free will of His intelligent creation
 Sin was hostile 10 God, and contrary to his will. Sin, he said, brought about diversity, and in that way brought many a man to God, who in the day oi his prosperity had never thought of the Father. If we waste our time in sin. said Father Huntington, we can. not make any headway with God Sir is loosing game. There is no middle road to travel by and deliberate sin is < prayer to Satin that Gods will migh be defeated
 Father Huntington preached a spe- f cial sermon at Trinity church yester- < day afternoon. The service was for wo- X men and was one of special series ot 7 eight to be held during the. mission.

Father Huntington
 condemned very strongly the apartmen E house of to-day as it now exists. H said 1t was responsible for a grea |* *fnany evils, and rendered to swell tn
 already too long list of divorces whicl existed in this country.

 In the evening Father Houston preached about the aspects of sin, the meanness, deceitfulness and desperate and blighting nature of it. It is not natural and inherent, for even the most desperate convict can look back on childhood purity.
