THE FIRST HOUI of the meeting was ononed with ainging and prayer, The Rey. Dr. Brookea thea took charge of the meeting, and talked on the subjects “Christ, Our Redeemer, a3 in the Prophecies.’ Dr. Brookes divided his subject into three een. tral thoughts: Firat, Christ holds the universal sveptres second, that aur Redeemer is an all- holy Redeemer; third, the Savior ts conung again, ‘fu suvstantlate the first thought lio sclected several passages of Scripture, showlny Unt the perseverance and strength was entirely with God and not with many that man could not save himself or goon with any good work only as Go saw tit to advance his cause and works throuch him. In the second thought ho read passaccs showing that our Redeomer wes wholly pure oud holy; that He asked none of us to endure ss He endured while on carth; that He had been tempted ns wo are, and had trodden the game path that ail mavkind have to, and that He fs Mnked with all our hard- ships and trials. He does not ask man to carry the burden, but to bave faith in Him, nud enst the load on [hs shoulders, and the journey to Mfe eternal ts made Nyt und easy. “The third thourht lie showed by reading passages wherein our Savior. promised’ hia disciples that te only Jett them fora aeason, and would come again. Dr. Brookes enlarged won this thought at some length, and told his Hsteners that Curlatians aid not usually attach importance enough to the of the resurrection of the saints ot the aecond coming of Christ, a3 Iald down in the Seviptures. ‘The hour's work was closed with prnyer by IT. W. Brown, aud singing by Mr. and Mra.

Kockwell, of Chicago, and singing by Uie choir, aiter which the Rev. Dr. Brookes ‘again took chore of the meeting, und gave one-half hour's tal on the iloly Ghost.

He sald we do Lot attach vonseguence enough to the power of the Holy Ghost, We maken yacue ghost of Hin, not Swalllog fu us, but away oif soue- where, In speaking of prayer, he sald that prayer was uot a strain of beautiful words and rhythmic sentences, but the groaning of the Heart goiny out toward Uou. Ho illustrated by telling of a sister of the chit who wns very sick, and sufd to iim, "1 cannot pray.” He suid, “tasked her if ane could grown, as a groan golug up to His throne from o ak k- burdened heart was just. os gual as the most beautiful words.” - at the clore of Dr. Brookes? remarks Mr. und) Mrs. MecCiranaban sweetly rendered “Oh ty be {nothing,". during the sinsy- Ing of whlch a silence like the deep hush of mid- aight prevailed...
