ing was had ana the weathe" unfavor-
abe, but what the service MAY have
lacked in numbers it fully made up in
interest. Today IS the beginning OF the
last week OF the campaign. These meet
iHaj viii close next Tuesday evening.
MesSrs. Cray and Allen will go from Au
eusta 20 Somervlle, Mass. where they
begin a series of meetings on Jan. &c.
There will be many who will want to
hear til csc men, who as yet have neglect
ed their opportunity. With fair weather
City hall will not be more than adequate,
perhaps, to accommodate the audiences
from now on.
Rev. Malcolm Dana of the Congrega
tional church in Hallowell offered PRAYER
last night and Mr. Gray spoke. For some
years Mr.. Gray was one of the Chautau-
qua lecturers and has more recently been
one of the lecturers connected with the
White Entertainment Bureau, Boston,
Mass Those who know the reputation
of this bureau for handling only speakers
of first-class ability, such as Peter Mac
that they now have q chance to hear a
man OF ability. Mr.. Gray has laid aside
the work of lecturer for the calling. of
the evangelist and is devotng his splen-
did abilities to the peerless work of win
ming men. Wednesday night Mr. Gray
will speak on Sins in High Life and
on Thursday evening on Heaven" Those
who enjoy hearing a good speaker on
good themes should hear Mr.. Gray on
these occasions. The subject of last
evenings sermon was 1.-THE Tendency Of
Character to TiXedness.' John says
He that is holy let him be holy still. He
that is righteous let him be righteous
still. He that is filthy let him be filthy
STILL Character becomes more perma-
nent with the passing years, as We grow
older we do not change our habits easily.
We will be tomorrow what We are today
only more so. There is a tendency of
character to fxedness. We see that fact
apparent here. Is it not reasonable to
suppose that ST. John was right and that
the same law is operative eternally? The
question is not where will you be in eter-
nifty, but what will you be; what you are
has more to do with your happiness than
where you are. It's not q question OF
surroundings, but of character. The
teaching of religion, of reason and phil
osophy is that he that is righteous shall
be righteous still and he that is unjust
shall be unjust still. Then chances GER
tainly are that if you choose right and
take Christ as your Saviour you will do
it soon. If you reject Him tonight it be-
comes more probable that you will reject
Him tomorrow night. Don't wait until
the end of life to settle this great ques-
ton that so influences character and des-
tiny The question is not where you are.
but what you are. In choosing Jesus
Christ you choose heaven. You may have
the spirit of heaven in your heart and
live as God wants you to live
Rev b. P. Hope of the First Baptist
church offered the closing prayer Up to
the present time over a hundred people
have signified their intention of leading
a Christian life.
