Cunningham and himself would be associated in evangelical ef- son, and they will go together to Ash land. Wis, which is the next place where Dr. Slough is to conduct cam paign. The announcement was re- ceived with a burst of applause from the congregation, which Dr. Slough said was very gratifying to him. as it indicated their approval of this ar came here from New Bedford as the cornetist for this series of meetings, but in the interim while pr. Slough was called home by the death of his son he assumed the leadership of the meetings, conducting them with such marked power and persuasiveness in the message he had to give as to win warm place in the hearts of the local people, whose applause voiced their feeling that the association of these two preachers would be an assurance of effective Christian service under Gods help.
 After the evening service had been opened by MT. Spooner conducting an inspiring praise service with the chof- us choir and the help of Rev. MT. Gun ningham's cornet Dr. Slough departed from his announced programme by postponing his address upon dancing and taking tip again the subject of card playing, which he had treated on Monday evening.
 Dr. Slough reinforced his words of the evening before upon the evil infiu- ences of card playing by reading the letter of college educated ex-cohvict who had shot man dead over a game of cards. This convict wrote this let ter in the Cambridge meetings. Dr. Slough also showed the pictures of three boys whose mother argued that she would teach them to play cards at home so that they might not want to play anywhere else. but of the three one became staggering drunkRrd, the other gambler, and the mother saw the third put on trial for murder. As for his own boys, said pr. Slough, they should never say that they touched their first card in their fathers house, and he wanted to show to parents care- less on this point the pitfalls ahead.

 Requests for Prayers

 A verse from the book of Amos. Be cause I would do this unto thee, o Israel, prepare to meet thy God" was the text for Dr. Stoughs sermon. full of the solemn warning of the need of preparing to meet God. It is just as certain that we are going to meet God as that we shall die he said, and the terror of death inspired in the minds of some people is a proof of their need of preparation. Their thoughts of God and heaven are also a proof of it. for
