 On motion of Rev. c. H. Ricketts' m, Stough and his three assistants, Rev. MT. Cunningham, MT. Spooher and MT Herring. were given the Cnaa- tauoua salute. but this was hardly expressive enough for the congress- tion. which burst into a saiyo or ap- piause in addition. .,. aat inc and took occasion to express ms anpreeiatlon of the work of Rev, MT. Cunningham for so admirably taKins m the difficult part of assuming lne S@n5uct of the campaign while pr. slough was called home by the loss 3f his son. But for this, pr Stousn n said, the work would have fallen anu anu failed. humanly speaking, ana lnls public acknowledgement was que lo Rev. Mir. Cunningham.
 Expense Paid to Date.
 Dr. Slough stirred up burst of ap.. plause for James l.. Case. chairman oI the finance committee, whom ne call ed A little dynamo, and said that the local expenses were all paiA up to date. but s250 was needed to &rry the campaign through this week. The col lection was taken up. Mir. Herring rem dered the solo My Sins Are Forgiven Are Yours? singing fin his usual ex- pressive manner.
 Dr. Slough led in prayer after ne had read number of requests tha' had been handed In, and then deliver ed one of the most eloquent and pow : erful sermons of any he has preached l while in this city. How shall we es- cape if we neglect so great saliva tion?" was the text, which he salo | paraphrased meant 1t Is impossible tt | escape if we neglect this salvation be- 1 cause 1t is so great, making the heari ! of this verse the two words, sC great" and of these two 'so" is tho more important.
 | Christianity the Cosmopolitan Religion 1 Declaring Christianity to be the onl! I religion with q world-appeal the cos mopolitan religion, Dr. Stough said i was great in its revelation of God dis ] playing love in all it's matchless puritl sand this is the religion proclaimed b. Jesus Christ It first made the dis icoyery that not only God is love bu is also the first to arise to the mag nifcent utterance of Our Father which art in heaven.
 It is so great also in it's penaltie and the preacher declared emphatical | ly that he believed in hell because h believed in Calvary. Something stu pendous was at stake for God to sen his Son to become criminal and al the ignominous death of the cross. Go
 woulld never have done this if 1t ha
 been possible for man to be save
 without Christ. Jesus stands at tn heart of Christianity. He died an staked his life upon the propositio
 that he was the only begotten son c God. To his divinity four things at test. his sinless life, his marvelou words his wonderful works and his in
 huence upon the world -
 Tn an eloquent conclusion whic
 chained the attention of his nearer:
 pr. Slough pointed out the influenc
 of Christianity upon the world, in ar literature and those things making fo charity. sympathy and the brotherl
 help of the unfortunates. But the si
 of those neglecting this salvation
 not what you have done, but what yo
 have not It is neglect. burying your
 self in business, pleasure and skeI
 ticism. It is high time that the cry ( the ministry reached you. How hoy
 how shall you escape, and the answe has never been given except in th
 cry of the damned.
 A number pvofessed desire to fo
 low Christ. and the meeting close
 with a testimony meeting in whic many took part.
