The third of the Unlon prayer-meotings was held in the Methodlst Church Blook yesterday at noon, and was vory-woll attonded, 'Tho mosting was lod by the Rov. Mr. Kittrodge. Tao particu- lar objeat of tho hour's dovotion waa prayer for tho increnso of tho ministry, in numbers, of- flolenoy, and holineas, and that to this end God would pour out His holy spirit upon them, upon fomilion,: npon churchos, - and upon alt schools ond colloges, « - ¢ . In Lis oponing prayer, Mr, Kittredgo asked for tho fulfillment of God's promiso, that an enrnest prayor will always bo answered. ITo nsked fora pouring down of God's holy spirit, nok only on the Krunne meeting, but also on all mestings whl{:d wore holding in different parts of tho world, L Aftor the sitiging by the congrogation of the sovonty-first hymu, the lendor of tha meoting rond tho second chnptor of tho Book of Acty, A ;}nuthm.u prayod for the success of tho mooting, asking that it might prove o day of Tontecost, and bo the moaus of tho foundation of groco to mung who attondad . 0 congrogatinn' thon sang the hymn begin- nlng, * Thera & fountain flled with blood, ‘Thae loader of the meoting then rond sevoral writton roquests sent him by difforent porsons for the &ymyum of the meoting, aud they we:o reforred to difforont gontlomen with the raquest that thoy would mako tho prayors dasired. Tho crm(imgnmn thon sang tho hymn bogin- ning ** Allhail tho power of Jeaus' namo," after which the leader of tho meeting stated that ho thought in his position na leador it was hardly his plnce to tako up the timo of the moot- ing, but be would briofly rofer to tho special ubacnt of tho mooting, wluch, a8 shown in tho schedule, was for an outpouring of the spirit upon familios, churches, schools, and collogos. 1o eaid that tho utmost eare dovoted to the wol- faro, spiritual and temporal, of theso institu- tious, would avail nothing without ocarncat prayer. o hoped, in tho brief hour in which thoy bad como togethor, the congrogation would * take hold of tha hornd of tho altar.” What wag wanted was tho presonco of tho power of the Holy Ghost. Thore wore churches which wore icoborga for tha Inok of this prosonce, and thera wero familien which folt its lack very deoply, Mr. J. V. Farwell spoke ‘briefly, and asked tho congregation to proy thab the uso of tha swvord of the Bpiril might be folt at the Sabbath-school meeting to bo hold in the afternoon, In responso to his invitation, Mr. Boll mada n rayor, in which he asked for the success of the gundny-scuaol meeting, aud of all prayer-moot~ iufia at prosont in progross, ‘fha congrogation then joined in singing tho lhymn boginning, **Wo sro_traveliug home to eaven above, Wil you go?” A gentleman stated that ho thought he knew the writor of a roquost for prayor iu bohalf of o man who was undor tho tyranny of intogicating liquor, © Ho thought Christiang wore too Inx in helping such men in their trouble, and stated that tho ouly ona who bad tried to help a friond of his who was laboring under the tyranny of vtrong drink was an infidel. He hoped thors would be an improvement in this respeot smong Cbristinns, . Another gentloman stated that ho waa s lving oxample of thoe ofticacy of prayer. But for the prayers nnd pleadivgs'of his wifo aud sisters he would now bo, as ho was ouce, a miserable dronkard, He thought no oune should ‘bo ashamed to whisper in the cors of a wanderer, #Thero is a fire ot thy feet.” Maj, Whittlo would like to know what wonld bo thought of a vumber of poople who, wishing to cnter a houso with the front door thrown opon, yot wandored round nbout it, secking for another entry ? Thia was what many. would-bo Christiane woro doing, Tho way to truth was open, and tho path was phin bofora them, yot they looked forunotber road. Tho congrogation thon joined in singing a vorso of the hymn ho{;iuning, 0, could Tspeak the matchless word," A gontleman only knew of one sinner in tho mcuh&lg. He wished that more sinnoers would attend, 0 The Rev. Alr, Daniels reforred to tha su coss of Brother Mopdy, who is at present lond- ing noonday prayer-mootings in Edinboro, Seot* Innd, whicli, are daily attonded by as many a8 2,600 people, Ho attributed tho success of Mr. Moody’s efforts to his incessant praying for tho presence of the Holy Spirit in his worl. At the couclusion of bis remarks, Mr, Daniels made a forvaut prayer for the Juosanco of that spirit at the meotings nt prosent in progress, The leader of the meoting reminded the con- grcsnfiou that the week of prayor wus not In- onded to be & rclxfilonu Iuxury, whero praying and singing might bo indulf‘od in by those who Dad already found Christ. Each ono should try and bring an impenitent sinner with him. Thay must not’ allow themselves to bo discouraged by anticipating a rebuff, but fortify themsclves by prayor beforehand, without which their attempt could hardly be successful. Ho' hoped that at to-day's meoting thero would bo a largo attond= auco of sinnors. Aftor the sivging of the hymn buginnlng “Wo all mnst speak for Josus,” tho Rov. Mr. Kittredge announced that tho noonday meeting of to-duy would o hold in the church at the end of tho ball. Ho bad henrd it could not bo obtained witliout payment for its use, but ho thought that no church should eherge for ita oceupation for the purpose intended. After the benediction by the leador, the meeting dispersed. —_— SUICIDE.
