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

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

One of the number was

e altar, she telt a deeper peace
her heart, than she had ever

m the following statement ide
in one of the meetings by I

sired to be honest with God
