! Rev. Hcndrick Speaks to an Audi
cnce that Fills the Central
Presbyterian Church.

PEI singer, SAus 1He Ninety ana
Nine" at the Central Presbyterian
church last night. The audience,
which was the largest that has at
tended any Of the services since the
beginning Of the meeting, was held
as If under a charm by the magic
power OF the singer. As the singer
sang the last verse, which Is one of
exultation and praise. the listeners
were almost lifted out Of their
Seats The song service last night as
a whole was an Improvement over
previous services. The people are
learning some of the evangelist's
new songs and they are singing them
in a way which shows that the sen
timent of the words is not an empty
meaning to them. Mr.. Carter has the
happy faculty OF working in some of
the old hymns at the climatical Pc
Rod and the effect produced is little
short of marvellous. 'The Church in
T the Wildwood" was the second num-
Der last night and following 1t the
evangelist said he wanted the au-
dience to sing II Am Bound for the
Promised Land" This is an old
camp meeting song" said the evan
gelist, land you older people used
to sing it when you were boys and
girls"
When few lines of the song had
been sung Evangelist Carter said he
wanted only those who were over
fifty years old to sing 1t. Only few
voices responded and this caused
the evangelist to remark that this
was the youngest audience he had
ever seen. At the conclusion of the
song the evangelist said he hoped
all who were not bound for the
promised land would get aboard the
old gospel ship.
Prayers during the evenings wor-
ship were offered by DR.. E. E. Big
ger and Rev. A. c. Parker.
Pastor Hogan said he rejoiced to
see SO. many boys and girls in the
juvenile choir. Il hope you parents
will urge your children to come to
the meeting and take part in this
choir" he said II rejoice also" he
said, to nee 20 few hats among us
tonight. A crusade has been started
to leave of hats both day and might
Iat the church. and I pray the dAs
! will come when they will all be lef

it might be a good thing to pray 4
little at the breakfast table Some
morning.
Evangelist Hendrick took two
texts as a basis for his sermon on
the subject of Saved by the Blood"
The first text was Exodus 1918,
and the blood shall be to you for a
token unto the houses where ye are:
and when I shall see the blood, /
will pass over you, and the plague
shall not be upon you to destroy you
when I smite the land of Egypt"
second text, F1TSL COfluInlduB, D. &,
Purge out therefore the old leav-
en-, that ye may be a new lump, as
We are unleavened For even Christ
our passover is sacrificed for u.s."
The sermon was based chiefly on
the story of that night in Egypt
when the angel of God passed over
the land shifting the first born in
all the homes where blood had not
been placed on the door posts as an
execution of Judgment against Pha-
raoh for his oppression of the chill
dren of Israel. The evangelist said
| that in order to understand the full
meaning Of Christ as the passover
and sacrifice for us we must get the
| full force of what transpired that
night In Egypt. The first thought /
offer. he said. is that salvation that
night and salvation now is from i'm
pending doom. As they took the
blood and sprinkled their door posts
so we must have the blood of Christ
