J . esu *. Christ over the lives 3 so many is lacking is because every man has planned his own particular tree of independent thought, and from that tree .S t h ° DOr^ he Chrisfc " ««*h " is in hb E^ WBt comjng down from the " «• glVe ? of kinds of trees into which men have climbed, and the command of Christ to these was: "Come down. Blessed are they that do His commandments, ,hat they may have {he right the gates into the city. Attention was drawn to the moralist's tree, and the speaker directed those who are up this tree to take a lesson from the account given of Cornelius in Acts x He was a devout, just man of good report. Yet Peter called upon him to obey the Lord and told him what he must do to be saved. At this meeting a quartet was sung, and Mr J. P. Garmong sang ' Fll die on the field.' & In the evening the subject of Mr Hamilton s sermon was ' The Click of Life's Clock.' uV, l^" 1 to the mvi tation of Jesus Christ, Behold, now is the accepted time., now is the day of salvation," he said that this was a law which the weakest and the strongest alike, as far as character is concerned, can conform to if the heart and the will are right in the sight of God. When a man disregards this invitation he disregards the best friend that ever came to this world. The click of the clock told that the failure and neglect of the past had gone from our control, opportunities had passed for ever, and the future belonged to God. Sometimes men gained the conception that they would waste their lives doing nothing positively wrong, but simply neglecting to obey the Lord until the eleventh hour, when they would turn to Him. Paul - referred to socb a position when he said: "Be not deceived, God is not mocked." God wi!l judge according to the deeds done in the body; selfishness will not goveni the motives of the soul. It was only when men believed with all their hearts and affections on Jesus Christ that thero became a connection with 'he divine. A number of anthems were sung by the choir, in addition to a solo by Mr Garmong. The mission is to be held during the week, and the subject of Mr Hamilton's address this evening is 'The Baptism of the Holy Spirit.'
