Comprehensive Program-Large and Interested Audiences from- Day to Day—Hasters in Literature and Appre-;. dative Learners. Our notes of tho lectures delivered 'imder tho auspices of tho Summer . ^School extended to tho close of Tues- day, August D. On Wednesday morning Dr. George B; Stevens, of Yale College, gave his second lecture on “The Atonement,” .dwelling on the philosophy of the doc- trine. The preachers, for whom tho : lecture had been specialty, prepared, •gave tho closcBt attention to the sub- ject in hand, for controversies and theories relating to. it. have been rife through all the history of Christianity. Tho speaker unfolded its relation, to the ethical nature of God; tho .two- ~foId aspect of the divine nature ex- pressed in the work of Christ; its rela- tion to forgiveness, and how Christ in His sufferings and death meets tho moral ends of punishment. Atonement is tho very essence of the gospel and the whole of Christianity. At tho close of tho lecture somo time was given to answering questions pro- pounded by the audience on the jus- tice of God as«related to tho atone- ment, and how tho saving work of Christ satisfies God’s total nature. •“THE HIGHER MINISTRIES OF LITERATURE.” Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus delivered four '‘elaborate and comprehensive lectures on this theme. It was noticeable to ' see the Temple fill up to'the doors as the hour approached for this brilliant speaker to resume his masterful analy- sis of tEe leading poets, especially in their handling of great religious ideas. /Matthew Arnold was his subject on - Wednesday morning. Full, credit ‘was ’■ 'trjven to his critical faculty, and no . -apoiogy was ventured for the.gloomy oLdoubt ho persistently pro- jected .on all the vital principles of divine revelation, contrasting this self- constituted censor of accepted, faith . -rand experience with the master minds of his day and generation. Matthew Arnold’s character was shown to be sadly defective. With golden oppor- tunities in his education and the influ- ence of his illustrious father, ho per- verted his powers by habitual doubt and helped nobody nearer to God and ‘ heaven. . • Far different wasj; the ministry of •'Tennyson, whoso life-work the speaker analyzed in his next lecture. Tenny- son was a believer. The Bible was to him a fountain of^life, and in dll his poems thero is the gospel of God’s love •and Christ’s redeeming grace. In his concluding lecture on Brown- ing he was. equal/y emphatic.in point- ing out the subtleties of manner in a great genius, through which alwayB the light of the Star of Bethlehein •gleams and the love of God Is revealed ' to man. . ’ Dr. Rogers’ course of four deeply in- •teresting lectures on Genesis brought put'all the results of recent oriontal research corroborative of Bible truth. * The stories of tho creation, tho dol- ugo, early migrations, and Abraham and tho kings of tho east, of which ac- counts are bo brief and incblental in . the sacred narrative, were all illumin- ated and confirmed by the fragmen- tary records of ancient nations. Reading the tenth chapter of Gene- sis, for instance, where we have only a long list of names and geneologies, tho speaker followed out each tribe or family in tho founding of dynasties, and, tho increase, of ‘population after Noah’s flood. CHRIST A CONQUEROR. On Wednesday afternoon Dr. H. K. /Carroll, editor of tho.New York Indo- ; pendent, deliverod an earnest address [ on “Christ’s Crown of Victory.” He depicted Jesus, the Son oft God, as the Scriptures<ao frequently do, in v‘ ' •'the character of a warrior, and all his . /followers as soldiers enlisted to follow His standard'and finally share In the . /fruits of His victories. , ?Mio battlefield Is the world, which . ’is to be subdqed In its attitude of re- ‘bollion against/ God, and brought Into - subserviency and obedience to Its •rightful Lord and King. When this •consummation shall bo accomplished \ is not'determined or known; but faith 'in His presence and powor Is a cardinal principle among His people. As He /never will desert His cause, and can- "not fall or bo discouraged, no Chris- tian can be a pessimist. To doubt is ;■ disloyalty, unbelief is" a sin. In Revelation, Chapter 19, there Is a reference to Christ’s many crowns, nnd this signifies that Ho came to conquer All worlds, principalities and powers. Tils victories are going on wherever His gospel 1 b proclaimed. Tho salva- tion from sin’s dominion of a single human soul is a. great Yietory. Listen to the song- and shout of victory, by multitudes unnumbered, lu Revela- tions 7.. An anciept warrior king once boast- ed that ho had no enemies. Ho; had •killed them all; hut Christ came not to destroy; Ho saves them qll.. His cause has oyer been opposed. Combinations of enemies havo resisted His claims and kllled His followors, but ./* tho cause is still onward. 'Falsefaiths have been overcome by tho mighty . power of truth. His conquest is outUnod .over tho Islands of the seo. The unspeakable Turk must give way before the cross. And so He has put to rout the foes of the Bible. He is renovating socie- ty, reforming men, freeing the slave, and extending the gospel of human liberty and brotherhood. He shall reign in righteousness until all forms of oppression and Boclal evils arc done away, ' If somo fearful bouIb see trouble ahead,' let. them take courage,. The world, bad as it is, will be made to bow .to His mild authority. Never was there an. age when the Bible J*« studied more and understood better. Ration- alism has had its day. Opposers and wilful transgressors . shall *at last ac- knowledge Christ. To Him every linee . shall - bow and every, • tongue - confess that, He Is the. Lord.; - His . coronation day will. come. ■■ ./“ "’ ■ '■■■ '.v;//;' On Thursday afternoon another rous- ing religious address was delivered,/ this also by a newspaper man, Rev.' Dr. Herbeh, who is assistant editor of the, Christian .Advocate, ■/New . York, his paper being the “great official” of the entire Methodist family of Advo?' cates, and ranking at the head of tlio denominational press of this country. His “Old Message for the' . New' Cen- tury” was nothing more' nor-less than fearless ' and faithful preaching, such as in - the past awakened ’, sinners, Btirred up tiie lukewarm, reproved Vice, and asserted the. righteous judgment of God’s law, as well ,as the efficacy of a universal gospel to save, a lost .world.. ; ■ -i.; ;■' • ' ■ . n“ “ -:; ; y He held that the church needed greatly a revival within its own/ bor- ders, deepening spiritual life, infusing Into young people’s societies more ac- tivity and -zeal, and united resistance: to all tendencies of a worldly charac- ter Tn the form of sinful or doubtful amusements—in a word, non-conform - ity to the spirit of the world and a more decisive and distinctive stand for “pure religion.” ' , . Hi b paper breathed' a broad Cntho-; iicity in recognition of general church activity. If alb churches combine to put forth every .G bd-rgl ven, energy to . overcome, the works of the devil the new century; will/feel a /substantial and powerful impulse, toward the mill- ennium. The ‘speaker delivered liis messago with fiery energy, such as characterized the ^amp-meeting preach - ing of half a century ago. The. last lecture named on the.pro- . gram may have been intended as a kind of climax to the literary feast provided. It was assigned to Dr. W. V. Kelly, editor of the Methodist Quar- terly Review, a gentleman of the high- est literary reputation. Tlie .title, “Matthew Arnold;”, an Apostle- of Sweetness and Light,” . awakened un- usual interest from the fact that Dr. Gunsaulus' had the same distinguished subject under; his scalpel a day or two previously.. Between the two ■ great ah'alysists there was- little left of tho ' egotistical . 'author of •“Sweetness and Li g ilto f whom Dr./Kelly said, when, ho vvisited the.; United- , States some years ago, that ho passed through.t|ie country; with elevated nose, os if our ordinary.ways affected his,aristocratic sensibilities, like*proximity to a pou-r drette manufactory on' the New: Jersey/ m eadow s./'■ //■ “/ ; i - 'v >':[■/ Dr. Gunsaulus/regretted !liis waqt of faith and his neglect of God; and Dr. Kelly, .charged upon him a want of manners / and. Insufferable egotism, making him rather an apostle of sour- ness and gloom, Instead of .“sweetness and light.” ; / HANDEL’S MASTERPIECE. > On the-; eve/ of /the / presentation of 'the. oratorio of “The Messiah'.’ it- hap - pened/that Mr; ‘Frank Damrosch was present to.-conduct the performance, and by request of Dean Price appeared on tho. Temple platform to give tlio School of Theology a treatise on the composition of Handel’s sublime- pro - duction from the standpoint or a pro- fessional musician. It will be remembered that Prof. Morgan appeared by request last year to Bhow the audience how .simple and easy a thing It ia to “read music” at sight or to compose w ith. but little practice. So it may bo that music, one of .'tho fine arts, may hereafter have.a recognized place in the pro- gram'of the Summer School. • Mr. Damrosch pleased 'his audience, not bo much by a dry or technical dis- sertation as iu taking liis seat at the piano, opening to the oratorio and pointing out- the- genius of the - great master in- his sublime selectiou of Scriptural passages to make a con 11 li- tmus and /consistent story, and .then the adaption of the musical scale to give them greater expression and power than. when repeated.-, by an or - dinary reader. ; ' //;/./-•;/. The oratorio, he proceeded, is in three, parts; First, the promises of a Messiah—“Comfort yd; comfort ye my ..people,” etc. Second, the ' advent—' “There were shepherds abiding in tlio field,” etc. Thjrd,: the resurrection— “Lift up your heads,"veto, He sangf; accompanying himself on the instru-/ merit, many of the /favorite passages in recitative and chorus, explaining as he proceeded the peculiar excellence of the music:/ “And the! glory of the Lord shall be revealed,” “The Lord who rii yo seek," etc.;’ “Arise/ shine,” “And lo! the Angel of the Lord came down,” etc., “Glory to'God In the highest,” ’"Como unto me,” Who is the King of Glory?” “Hallelujah!” ; Ho referred to the “Hallelujah ^Chorus” as the most .sublimo composi- tion ever attempted by man, and gave specimens—strains from “I know that my Redeemer liveth!’ and tlio conclud- ing “Amen.” When, explaining some passages that singers found complox, or., “major” when “minor” would seem better, some one In the audience inquired: “Why don’t some of you masters in harmony amend the/score?” “Because we dare not;” answered Damrosch. “ ‘Hands off’ is the word when .we stand before Handel. But,”[. he con- cluded, “ come to the oratorio and hear' for. yqurselyes; So the oratorio had another 'good advertisement.” ••.“ /; ORATORIO OF “THE MESSIAH.” A Finished Performance Wos the Verdict Ac- corded by All Who Heard It. -As . usual with the/Summer School of Theology,' its sessions -/closed: last; week with tho / Musical .Festival, of which the Oratorio of “The Messiah”, formed a considerable part. This was given on'Friday evening to a large au- dience; and had the weather been fav- orable the attendance• would undoubt- edly, have been even greater./ •',“ /' ' Under' the- painstaking direction of Prof./ Tallie Morgan the members ,/of the chorus had been thoroughly drill- ed/[and were capable, when turned oyer to the /leadership of Mr. /Dam- rosch; of doing themselves the utmost credit in. every- number. The opening chorus, “ Arid the Glory of the Lord,” was sung with spirit,-' as/was also the more difficult “For unto us a Child, is born,” the/light and shade, whiicli this latter /chorus demands being .treated most carefully as, to detail.,/ Another excellent rendition,' whiah stamped the chorus as being far aud away above the .average- body/ of singers who at-/ tempt this masteririece, was “Behold, the Lamb of God,” a choice bit. of mu- sical composition . which gives- an...hd- iriirable opportunity Tor displaying the superior quality of the voices,'abound- ing in high note3 and long phrases for the (several parts. It wa9 .reserved, /however," for the “Hallelujah Chorus” to arouse the audience to the highest point of enthusiasm/ over., the..perfecL w ork. of tlie : singers'. This part /was; sung with ’infinite precision, its strong, points being brought out with mag- nificent/emphasis. During its rendi- tion the audience, as a matter of course,- arose and remained standing until the last grand note died away. An especially brilliant achievement was “As we like sheep;’’ but in truth all tfie choruses were well sung, the perfect blending of tone and absolute responso to the baton of the leader making the work-of the chorus mu - sically the be3t' that has even been heard here beyond any doubt. In speaking thus at some length of the "chorus, the'excellent work of the soloists should not be overlooked; To Dime. Clementine DeVere Saplo, so- prano; Mme. Elizabeth Leonard, con- tra! t'oi'Dtr. H. EvanW llliam s, terior; and Miv J. C. 'DempsCy, basso, was en- trusted the solo parts; which,, it was clearly proven, were in most, capable hands. Mme. Saplo sang her difflcult parts with delicacy and expression. Her voice has been carefully cultivated, and is up to the weight lrcqulsite for oratorio singing. - •• . Mme. Leonard -created an impres- sion, that must have been flattering to her. ‘Her contralto , voice, of great compass and ' richness, was heard to advantage in lier different.solos. Mr.- Williams, the tenor, is a prime favorite here. ; He has a voice of ex- treme flexibility and dramatic power. His piano passages were given.with exquisite pathos and . fervor. It can bq said of 'Mi’.' -Dempsey, the bass, that few,' singers are better •equipped for oratorio work: th all he. He has an imposing presence, and a voice of rare sweetness and power. The enjoyment of the evening was. increased by the instrumental music supplied by the New York Symphony Orchestra.. ' Mr. Frank Damrosch led the chorus in the manner usual with ono of his name.. He.was repeatedly obliged to bow, liis acknowledgements of.the au- dience’s approval as manifested by 'their hearty applause. Col. Hadley’s Peace Fleet. Col. Hhdley’s peace fleet sailed from its doclcron the north bank of Wesiey lake, opposite tlio Church Army meet- ing house, Saturday, evening shortly after G o’clock.’ - Before the fleet started on its mem- orable journey a brief service was held In the presence of a large concourse of people. At;the foot of the lake,.where the fleet anchored, Col. Hadley; an- nounced/the return of peace. The. Apostle's/ ’Creed and, Lord’s Prayer' were recited/ Addresses were made by Miss Sara Wray, - Dr. Ji/Frrink Specie, Dr. O’Hanlon and Founderf.‘J.anies---A*: Bradley. The three last-named gen - tlemen occupied a seat in tlio flagship “Reserve,” along with tlie commander. Col. Hadley. . An orchestra Accompanied tho fleet, aud *furnished ..some excellent music on route. Mr. N. Dushane Cloward,- manager of the Passion Play now be- ing. exhibited- at Col.^Iadley’s meeting houso, sang “Tho Palms.” ; In all there were about forty boats in the fleet. As, they moved down the lake and back they were!: jie artily cheered by the crowds. that. Uned thb shores . . . .. ' God, who notes idle words, is mind- ful of sinful silences. -. Anniversary Woman’s Foreign Hissionary Society. For twenty-seven years a band of devoted ladies, organized by, Mrs. Dr. Willlani Butler as an Ocean Groye branch ot the W. F. M. S., have cele- brated their -anniversary on these grounds. Owing to Che close and kind- ly sympathy of Dr. and Mrs. Stokes with the women’s movomcrit, their an- nual inee tings have had unusUal prom- inence; and- / privileges.; Mrs.. Stokes has for many years been tfominal pres- ident/. and stilt retains th at. position, with Mrs; Kennard Chandler, Mrs. I; Simmons, Mrs. Col. Sklrni; Mrs. /A. Kent. Mrsi Rev. J. G. Reed and Mrs. .

He is known/as a: fast«friend of the society, and a,/strong admirer of its work in providing by ways and means so meth- odical /and" effectual for/ the sending of' so ‘many trained' missionaries to heath- en lands.'- • •'.//' ; // Mrs. C.

The. corresponding sec- retary, DIrs.' Diary Sparkes Wheeler, Iri; /her report - rerid a pathetic letter relat-; ing to the accidental death of two de- voted -missionaries, Dliss DIaud Timins aqd Dliss Belle Allen, as they;, were about returning from/ China to visit their friends in this country. Mrs. Deriler read an interesting pa- per on the question, “What is the Wo- man's Foreign-Missionary Society Do- ing?” Dliss Heafer, of India, and DIrs. Parker, of Finland, gave detailed state- ments of-the progress ofthe work in which they were engaged. . To the regret of all present DIrs. S. L. Baldwin, -recently from an extended tour of observation In. China and Japan, was prevented from being present. The usual missionary love feast was held on Saturday evening in the Tab- ernacle, presided over by Bishop Fitz- Gerald. At these meetings' in past years the people had opportunity to listen to voices which had sung and preached and suffered for Jesus and His love In faraway regions of heathen darkness.. It was good to see their faces and hear their kindling; words of experience, magnifying the wbnderT working power of the gospel to/., con- vict and. save. A few. were present on Saturday evening, and " the hour of song,and testimony was memorable.for its enthusiastic spirit. / /“ / . Three services in the Auditorium on Sabbath were . under /the' direction of the society, and its visiting members were heard both in the Tabernacle and Temple services besides. / Dr. Oldham’s morning address was of the simple, earnest, practical kind -which enchains attention and thrills tho heart. He was born in India, con- verted under the evangelistic agencies of the Apostolic William Taylor, edu- cated- In this country, nnd spent a number, of years in active service in his native land. After listening’to his eloquent plea for help ip the women’s wbrk, the baskets, were passed . and brought In from' the morning congre- g a tio n $333: ;• : . \ DIrs. Dr. Oldham, a bright, intelli- gent'co-worker with her husband, de - livered the..iprincipal. address of. the aftevnoon, which, .with the rousing ac- companime'nts of appropriate song; /so interested the audience that, the .offer- ings of the morning/were more than doubled. .Mrs. Oldham and Prof. Mor- gan were,-'constituted life directors of the society..by,;raising $100 for .each,: and Dliss Linebarger, w ith,-several others, were biude life members. ‘ On Sundayi evening, instead of the, usual sermon, addresses were deliver- ed by Dr. H. B. Swartz, of Japan; Mrs. Kennard Chandler, of Ocean Grove,' and the ever-ready and always inter - esting Dr. Oldham: Dir. . Yatman, who claims tho privi- lege to have a heart and hand in every good word and work , turned Ills Mon- day morning Young People’s meeting ovor to the.W . F.'M . S., which was represented by DIrs. E. J Knowles, Mrs. A. R, Thompson and Dliss Heafer. The collection lifted in the'‘Temple' added to former amounts, with an un- expected donation of a check for $100 from a friend of thecause on Dion day, will round up the result to at least $1,000 to the credit of the anniversary. For this the ladies, like an apostle of old, “Thank God and tako courage.” The annual meeting and election Of officers of the local auxiliary Wan held on Monday afternoon.. With the ad- dition of M rs., C. -Moorhead. Scoville as seventh vice president, the old.board was re-elected and will serve the en - suing year. Young People’s Meeting. Dir. Joseph A; Toupin, of New York, one of the converts, sang “The Palms” in a masterly manner. To got these singers and business men for. Christ is cause for much praise. Greetings wero sent from the Tem- ple to Dir. and DIrs. Joseph'Justice and sons, in California, and Mr. and Mrs. Baker,'the blind singers, now in Lon- don, England. . The young peoplo gave hearty ex- pression to Prof. DIorgan for his suc- cess in tho Children’s Festival and tho oratorio of “Tho DIessiah.” They all want him to lead tlio oratorio next year. It seems to be a universal de- sire. Fannie Crosby Is expected at the end of this week. -She is the guest of the young people. '• Dir. Yatman's three little women who supply the hymn books to the people are workers of the right sort. They are very.lady-like, and do their work in such a quiet and modest way that everybody likes them. The first twilight meeting will be held in the .Temple next Saturday night, and continue for’ten days, Sun- day Included. The same swing of success in at- tendance and results Is daily wit- nessed In the services. Senator McClelland is to address the meeting some morning. Miss Blanche Bennett will also sing again. Monday morning was “Missionary Day” with its annual, offering. • “After Meetings” will now be the rule, the leader: announces. • It is a quick turn in life to be in the Temple at Qcean Grove on Friday and In the Temple of God on high the nexU DIoriday. Such, happened to one of tho young people this season. The. last young people’s meeting of this season will bo held on Sunday, September 4th. Dr. O'Hanlon and Dir. Yatman are to dedicate'the New City Methodist Church, in Rockland county, N. Y., October 14, 15 and 1G. The Dtisses Fields, DfcCIelland and Pringle have successfully toiled for Its erection.. Dir. Yatman, when nsked if he had any new plans for another “Floral Day,” answered quickly: “Yes, it will be a “Harvest Home” service If I get back from the other side of tho world,” . DIany have asked tffat the “Songs In the Night” be repeated, but the. leader says it cannot .bo this year. The banner for attendance in . the Auditorium this year so far must go to tho young people. No crowd yet has been so great. " , The Lake Carnival. The annual carnival on Wesley lake was held on Monday evening, and the occasion was favored with ideal weather. Thousands of spectators lined either bank of the lake, every vantage’spot being seized upon. . v In Thompson Park the stand used by the Auditorium Choir was placed. This was occupied by members of the Association, the choir and invited guests. During the evening the choir sang a number of pieces. > The decorations of boats, bridges, lake and houses along the lake front far surpassed anything of like- kind ever before attempted -here'. Between the two foot bridges a brilliant effect was produced by. the arrangement of several hundred electric lights of dif- ferent colors, on wires strung from shore- to shore and caught in the shape of a huge star on a high tower in the center of the lake. There were three of these, and they could be.seen from every point of view. This idea of decoration was conceived by Dir. A. C. Fields, and ..was successfully wrought out* by Walter Franklin, the Association’s electrician/ From tlio central tower a fountain threw up jets •of water arid added greatly to the gen- eral effect.- The bridges were strung with Jap- anese lanterns, whicli shed a soft ra- diance' over the . scene. Thompson • Parle was ablaze with light, for at the same time tho Willing Workers were holding a lawn fete. . The fireworks, of which there seemed to bo a goodly, quantity, were set off from tho lower bridge. Dir, J. A. W ainright, of Ocean Grove, was awarded the first prize of $10 for tho best lawn decoration. The second prize, $5, went to Mr. W. C.. Cottrell, of Asbury: Park. Tho boat, prizes of $25, $20, $15, $10 and $5 went, respectively, to Warren Burnott, Ocean Grove, tho “Maine;” Howard • Amell, Ocean Grovo, tho “Brooklyn; V Richard W hittier, the “Undo Sam;” Noah Weatheral, the “Frolic,” and W, B. Tonkins, and Ar- thur Cottrell, the “Princeton.” Scattering Seed Circle. A neat booklet descriptive of its work has just been issued by “tbe Scat- tering Seed Circle, King’s Daughters and Sons /of Ocean Grove.. It is a handsome little book, containing much valuable information. Those who would like copies can obtain them from Miss Martha DllUor, 80 Broadway, Ocean Grove, or DIrs. Kate Raphael, box. 2153, Ocean Grove. MISSIONARY SUNDAY. Sermon Preached by Rev. W, T. Oldham, of the'Ohio. Wesleyan University. . Missionary Sunday ivas favored with a bright day, and the movement re- ceived' ait Impetus that must curry It forward to tho accomplishment of ad- ditional achievements for glory. So crowded was the Temple meeting at 5 o'clock that many were unable to gain admittance. Loth to move away, they stood about the building in the hope of gaining entrance by somebody Laving, and. failing In. this, they were satisfied to get near a window and Hu- ron to tlie singing and talking as .best they could. Or. Alday, of the Devo- tional Committee addressed the meet- ing. . . Bishop FitzGerald led the Holiness Meeting, to whtch a missionary flavor was imparted by an address from Sirs. Z. P. Dendler. Others who spoke, were Dr, John Parker and Mr. Samuel M. Myers. A short, spirited song servlco pre- coded morning worahlr on Sunday last in thr, Auditorium, whore the anniversary exercises of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society were con- tinued from Saturday, The largest morning audience of the season was present the body of tin- big build- ing belnv- well filled,, while- but. few of-the gallery seats were unoccupied. In keeping with the missionary an- niversary spirit the service opened with Hymn 237, ' Jesus shall reign where’er- the sun' doth his successive Journeys.run,” sunr, heartily by the vast congregation.. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Murphy, of the Philadelphia Confer- ence, who, in addltion'to tho Invoca- tion for Divine favor .upon missions arnl missionaries, expressed thanks to God for the declaration of peace be- tween the w arring nations. The les- sons Were, first, the Forty-sixth Psalm • In which tho strength of Goi: Is pro- claimed, and. ih which, very appro-, priate in connection with our national ‘ affairs at this time, nre: the words, "He maketh war to cease."' The sec- ond lesson wos the latter part ot the last chapter of Matthew, read by Rev. W, T. Oldham, the preacher: of tho morning, formerly of India, and riow Profcssor in the Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity. It was. a fortunate circumstance that enabled the ladles of tho Missionary Society to secure this gentleman to preach. Of commanding presence and pleasing personality, with a full, deep voice that was easily heard in overy Part of the house, he held his hearers" - closest attention. His .sermon was a companionable talk, with missions as Its: theme,I based upon the story of tho tiallllean peasant and tlio eleven ethers seat forth to achieve conquests in the world ot religions unbelief. -How the .programme mapped out by Jesus' Christ was completed • by. the eleven.' and their successors in the Christian church through ages was graphically portrayed Iiy the speaker in “thoughts that breathe and words that burn.” Mr. Upham told 'of his entry, upon the religious life after listening to a prayer by the illustrious William Tay- lor. He was especially strong tr. Il- lustrating his points, and his experi- ences in Tndic were of absorbing' li terest. The story was told of .ft Hin- doo man, claiming to ho two'-hundred' years old, who, lifter listening to tho story of Christ, asked he,- tt waa that a man to young as he (the*speaker) knew all about Him, while others, in- cluding himself, had never honrd of the Jesus of Whom- he spoke. When told that i-. was nlf In the Biblo, copy of whlch’was given him, tho old' man arraigned him for not bringing the Book sooner in the Interest of.un -, evangelized heathendom. And fully one-halt cl the world says life same tliing. “Why do you not send us the mesBago?" One of the greatest re- strictions to missionary work is the halt spoken words, “Arc not the people saved without the Gospel?”—a question that, 'passes often through tho minds of the laity ftod has not left Himself without witnesses. While .Mr. Upharn believed that God Inspired Confucius, Bhudda and Mahommot, he believed that Je3U3 Christ was the day-star set on high, and in Him are swept up all tho truths'of all the beliefs, creed?, isms nnd ologles. The heathen lands, according.to his word, do not need Il- luminating teaching, but regenerating, teaching, not to lie found anywhere-, outside of Jesus Christ, There is not a progressive race outside of Chris- tianity. The -heathen needs us. How shall we send them tho Gospel? By no more effective moans than at tho hands of tho women.. His plen for a generous missionary contribution met with a ready re- sponse. Signor Vitale. Under the pressure of largo numbers Pf Ocean Grove people, tho. Ocean Grove Association and Signor Vltalo have arranged a special-concert lo he given by him at the Ocean Grove Au-: dltorlum, with the finest artistic as-, sistance procurable; on Wednesday evening, August 17th. It will bo the only, possible opportun- ity of hearing.the world renowned man, whoso vlpim sponlts either tears or smiles for the listener at the option of the performer. The failure to hear him will bo tho-regret.of a lifetime.. So iong as votir heart Is it the world your church membership will count for little In holy service..
