VA RAYTON, owner, stepped from

''but you have not been able to elimi-

Mems Meeting.

The second of the series of Sunday meetings for men was held at Christ church yesterday afternoon and was well attended. The men were ad- dressed by Father Schlueter, canon missioner Of All Saints cathedral, AL bany. and Father Houghson. The for mer father made strong appeal to those present to follow as near as pos 1 sible the life of Jesus Christ, and to let their love go out to one another, even as Christ gave His love for them. He asked them to see in Christ the aim of their. life, and the one they wanted to follow
 Father Houghson follwed, his theme was against leading a selfish ] life. Father Houghson's appeal was earnest He spoke in calm but i'm pressive manner and his arguments were powerful and telling. He said a mans life was either selfish or un- selfish. just as he. made it. The great Napoleon led a selfish life because what he did was for his own gratifi- cation and greatness. Chinese Cor don, on the other hand, was an un- selfish man. He was without doubt the greatest Christian soldier of the nineteenth century, and the name of General Gordon will live and remain in the pages of history because he gave up his life for others. Father Houghson closed his address with a strong appeal to all to think and act for others as well as themselves.

The attendance yesterday at the va rious services in connection with the Episcopal mission was very large. The services at Trinity. St. Paul's and Christ churches in the evening being exceedingly well attended.
 At Trinity church yesterday morn ing Father Officer preached to a large congregation. He used for his text the words Blessed are the people who have the Lord as their God His theme was how true happiness could be found It was modern Scotch preacher, he said, who remarked that we bestow the least thought on the greatest blessings we receive, Few of us, Father Officer said, really realize what health means until sickness and death enter amongst us. It Is only when the contrast came that we real ly estimated the real worth and value of what we have been passing lightly over.
 He sounded a note of warning against the idea of living for our own happiness, If we made our own hap piness the main object in life we would surely fail. The real happiness, Father Officer proceeded to declare, can or ; be found by doing for others and trying to make others happy. Happiness, he said, was based on the things which men have in common and not in wealth or riches. It was in the great daily duty that was set before us that we found it; in the home, amongst our friends, the love of our children and those who are dear to us, and in doing the work that God

ORANGE STREET DISTRICT.

At the service last night in the Or ange street district the audience was the largest yet gathered, filling the 27, was the text used by Dr. Gran staff He said: Jesus always used the imperative mood He was conscious of authority. He is king The text is one of Christ's imperatives addressed to Thomas, one who doubted his res urrection. The proof of the resur- rection he offered Thomas was His own living, breathing, speaking self Reach here" he said and touch my hands, and examine my side. and see that I who live am the crucified one
 So Jesus to-day offers sufficient proof of His being and character, and ! demands that we examine the evil dence. We do not need to go back twenty centuries to get proof of Christ.
 If He were human output then | He must have been reproduced again i and again. If He were product of evolution, then we know no law by which He could have ben produced. Look through names of human gen ealogy of Jesus. In no one of the an cestors is there an incipient Jesus.
 If He is the Christ, then what will you do with Him? Only one of two l things-you accept Him or you reject Him. And if yu do not accept you do I reject Him

Poi had agreed to let the Chapman workers have the use of his new theater in Meriden, which is the next city thes go to, the same as he has here, was met with a round of applause.
 Dr. Chapman took his text from Jere- miah xii-5, How Wilt Thou Do In the Swelling of Jordon?"
 The river Jordon. he explained, stood for a number of things. Tt stood for something in the way of experience through which we pass on the way to the heavenly country?' said Dr. Chap man. ''It was a place whe' the wild beasts could come down from the mountains to seek refuge in it's caves along the banks. It was also a river that overfowed it's banks in all times of harvest. Then it was that the beasts were driven from the lowest row of caves by the waters to the second row and finally to the first row and then out to be at the mercy of men awaiting them.
 There is q present. men. To be Christian you must be- a Christian as a business man and a professional man.
 Drinking far from being the worsl sin said Dr. Chapman. .'but drinking is the commenest sin and it brings in its wake all other sins sooner or later"
