 Audience steadily Grows
 The service was in charge ol Rev. A, 3. Taylor Of the People's church. Mrs. Howard Horton sang two solos in her usual splendid manner. The number of people present was some what larger than any night except Sunday night Seven ministers were either on the platform or in the au- 1ience.
 \ Sign Of Sturdiness.
 In beginning his address Dr. E1 painted a glowing word picture of the old-fashioned farm house in the early days Of New England. If after you have gone through a full course, in cluding turkey cTanberries and pump kin pie" he said, and feel able to go back and starting at the olives and celery, go clear through to the plum pudding q second time, it shows you have the blood Of lusty New Eng flanders in your veins and two or three generations from now your name will still be found on the city directory" He spoke of the custom among some people a few years ago Of laying seven kernels of corn alongside the plate at a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner, as reminder of the early days of Ply mouth, when, one Thanksgiving, there were only seven grains Of corn for each person in the colony.
 Passion in Bad Company
 HeraIds of Passion" was the topic for the evening sermon. "A promi- nent grammarian has said, according to the speaker, that a noun is known by its adjectiVes. If this is the case, passion has fallen into bad company. Passion means nothing more nor less than love on fire. A cleaner, purer word never was coined"
 The Fires of Passion.
 Jesus was full Of passion. He came into the world with one great thought, a passion for saving the world. The time has come when the church in many quarters seems to have lost the flaming touch. Men stand shiyering and cold where once saints saw the heavens open and the very altars seem to be consumed by the fires of God bearing upon them. Is there a sadder story in his tory than the rejection of him who came from among the cattle and who died among thieves, but who went up to heaven carrying a robber in his arms,--a token of the power of him who brought his there?
 Christ Was Versatile.
 Jesus was man choleric with wrath and fiery indignation. He was q bitter hater of evil. No words ever breathed stung like those 'Ye whited Stl pNl4tSr St hIlIlulfI DL SOtI IdlIlcI the devil, how shall ye escape the damnation of helI?' Thing of it. Bit ter words from the same lips that spoke to the woman, Thy sins, which were many, are forgiven, go, and sin no more
 No Use For Indifference.
 Next to hypocrisy itself, the one thing Jesus couldn't stand was indif- ference I have something to say to you he said. 'Ye have forsaken the church, your first love. I would that ye were either hot or cold He didn't want indifference. Either they were for him or they were against him. II didn't say these words to hoodlums on the streets, either. He didn't say them to men of i'll repute-- he said them to the members of the | church. Don't forget it. It fairly | makes the chills run down my back | bone when l think of it.
