THE HARWARD-BINNEY MISSION.

The Harward-Biiiney Mission was continued in the new church last night, when there was a good audience.- Before the address, Mr Binney sang, Railway to Heaven," which, judging by the close attention paid to th<> singer, was much enjoyed. Mr Hr.nvard's subject was, ''The Divine Marching Orders." and was illustrated by a chart. The basis of the sermon was tho great commission given by Christ to His apostles just prior to His ascension and recorded in the gospels according to Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The preacher warned his hearers against the danger of scrapping tho Bible, and urged the necessity of taking the teaching of the whole book ill order to understand God's way of salvation. In the subject under discussion the statements of the three evangelists must be taken together in order to fully understand what Jesus embodied in His commission. . When this was done, it would be plainly seen that Christ, who possessed all authority in heaven and on earth,, commanded His disciples to'preach to all nations that the gospel was to be their message, that, those who heard this message were to believe in Christ, repent of their sins, and obey Him in baptism, and that the result of this complete surrender would hj; remission of sins, procured through tiie blood of Christ. The address, which was clear and convincing, was closely followed by the audience. Tonieht the mission continues, when there will be a baptismal service. .
