Methodist church were more largely
attended last evening than at any 9TH

choose his text from the twenty-fffth
verse of the 119 paslm, MY soul
cleaveth unto the dust; quicken thou
me according to thy word Rev. Ora
ham said that we were living in a
fast age when the souls of men were
inclined to be dead to things spiritual
and swallowed up in the rush and
uproar of a strenuous life. He de-
clared that the quicksands of society,
pleasure and business swallowed up
mankind in the dust of sin. Put your
faith and trust in the living. not the
historic Christ" said the speaker.
The Rev. Napier will preach at the
service this evening. The meetings
will conclude at the Fifth Street
church with services Saturday evening
