THE ROBERTSON CAMPAIGN.

The Rev. J; Robertson, M.A., gave a striking address to a large number of young men and women in the Vivian Street .Baptist Church last evening. Taking as his text, Ecclesiastes xii., 1, "Remember now Thy Creator," the preacher urged his I hearers to think clearly and constantly about God. They were at tho beginning of things, forming habits, choosing vocations, exalting ideals, and they were now determining what their lives would be in maturity and old age. How necessary it was therefore to incorporate the thought of God into their thinking and planning, so that life might be kept free and strong and pure throughout. Remembering God in youth was wise as a safeguard, as a regulating and. controlling influence on thought and passion, and as an inspiration to sacrificial service. It. was easier to think of God in early life before the world captured and absorbed their energies. Their great peril was materialism, when the visible became dominant and excluded the invisible. Moses "endured as seeing the invisible," and there was no power or safeguard comparable with that I vision. Let a man keep in touch with I God and he was the master of his fate and the captain of his soul. A passionate appeal was made for surrender to Christ in early life, before the evil days came, | and many a thrilling story was used by the preacher to enforce his message. This evening Mr. Robertson will speak and sing, and the campaign will close tomorrow night. '_
