had brought tears to the eyes of many
of the 5000 who heard him. The SER
mon and especially the climax the
evangelist wrought at its close, which
was supplemented by the singing of
Mr.. Butler, made it most touching
and pathetic of the services held thus
far during the campaign.

Rev Mr.. Sundays sermon taken
from the words Of Jesus Christ, as
he went TO the garden n he betrayed by
Judas to his enemies was as follows:
1.-THE hour is come. Il Is very evident
that Christ knew what vas in store for
him. 1t was the hour around which
all other hours would cluster The hol'
which would surpass ell other hours :
the history OF the world. He did NOT
mean a period of sixty minutes. He
meant he had reached crisis in Ms
ministry. 1t was the hour of fa7
great struggle. 1t had been all ma teE
of prophecy II was the hour the als-
ciples would leave hlm and nee.
This IS the Hour
