of the tabernacle. and which were

were received.

Beauty roses was presented to DR..

lTrippers' who made their memorable
journey six months ago to hear Slough

Portrays "the Procession"
Slough preached an intense sermon
to sinners based on Barabbas, the
robber and murderer who was re-
leased by PLATE at the demand of the
mob and whose place on the cross
Christ took. He showed sinners how
they, like the man Barabbas, make
Christ die on the cross as the substi-
tute for their punishment.
Slough played another of his strong
acting scenes in presenting the suf-
ferings Of Christ on the way to CAL
vary in bearing the weight of the
cross and enduring the taunts and
the kicks of the mob of blood thirsty
Jews. He groveled in painful reality
on the floor of the platform and made
a sad picture of terror and misery
that deeply affected the audience.
Speaking of sinners and of temp
tations, he said that many persons
are virtuous not because they are
above inquiry but because they never
have been subjected to temptations,
as many more unfortunate ones
have been.
II don't believe that hell will have
the same degrees of punishment for
all sinners any more than / believe
heaven has the same degree of re-
wards for eyerVbodV
