It is very fro gratifying to the praying people mf ot the town, to know chat through an their co operative labors, such a I dei large number of souls have been ' an, brought within the fold of Christ, vva where there alone, is safety, me "And yet there is room." mi The Ilosanuah and Praise ser- ye; vice of last Sunday afternoon ze( was very largely attended. Thejrai spirit of Cod brcoded over the11 ^ people from the beginning of the ' Gii 'IK- ? i I et:i \ ii;r. mi' r'disif^iiiuuii ^'"rr I WO injr was soul-uplifting and glori- I li fyinir to God. The Crusaders urge to the people to join heartily in ly the singing, as they believe thai ee< nothing is more efl'eclive in an breaking up the heart of the i up sinner, than "old fashioned con- th gregational singing.1' In this I (ai service Gen. Light preached to J co the attentive audience on the un nj? popular hut edifying theme. "The ' un Perfect Christian," as portrayed hi and characterized by the Apos-iBr tie Paul,, in the 13tli chapter of' on 1st Cor. Among other things, til he said, "God lias not designed ob that man should ho perfect men- j he tally, physically and spiritually, i lai in this life, for we have record foi of onlv three nersons who were'r... ^ , ? I ?u thus perfect, Adam and Kve, be ?fl fore they fell, and Jesus Christ,) to but He ha* designed that he yo should be perfect in love." He quoted several passages of tin scripture from God's infallible Li word, in which God commands pr us to be perfect. fre General Light also naid that jot "It is not only possible for the ri< children of God to attain to the hi standard ol the nerfect christian I lo ?I -as set forth by the Apostle Paul, to but also to maintain lliscbaract R? er, momentarily, hourly, daily, er and even through an entire life- la time." All christians who are ut not enjoying this blessed experi- ! fo ence, were exhorted to ^et into wj such an attitude before (*od, in to < ! hich His love could be perfect1 in their hearts, and tliua be ado perlect Christians, rhough the weatlier was ireatening on Sunday night, the eefing whs well attended, and beneficial service enjoyed. Nine ekers knelt at the al'ar dining e atterm eting. six of whom ere able to exercise failli in irist as their Savior and Reenter. One of the number was sifter of matur^ years, who fis shown by the Holy Spirit the afternoon service, that i ough she bad been a Christian r years, she had not had the ce of God perfected in her ' art, and therefore was not "Perfect Christian." She ayed earnestly at the altar, vie the absolute consecration cessary, of spirit, soul and " dy, and when all was put upon e altar, she telt a deeper peace her heart, than she had ever fore experienced- Her joy was speak able, and she wept and J ibraeed others of the tamih (iod in her ecstacy ?f soul. A unp lady who was happily * averted on Sunday night, tes 1 ied thus, "By the grace of >d I am forgiven, and no one ^ t ( * rut o n/1 I L' 11 n w li r\tit li n n I v Viuu q1iv4 a f rw*\r n H*/ U llrtj'* I am." ] That many who have been iristian6 for years but have i t walked ill the light, in the A rformance of their duties as d has given it to them, tor ^ ir of public opinion, is evident m the following statement ide in one of the meetings by I influential business man, who a sired to be honest with God d with himself. He said : "I ut to mak^ an acknowledg- j nt that I have been making a t stake in the la^t three or four t ars. About that time I reali j 1 my responsibility to God in ( sing a family o' children, and f letermined by the help of (1 d J it my lite should be such as iuld bring others to Him, but | ave not done what I promised t do.
