A bright sky and unlimited adver

reports swelled the Rev. Dr. Tal

day morning proportions yesterday.
Young men were present in force,
and constituted the majority of the
listeners. Genesis, i, 5, was selocted
for a text "And the darknjss He

"T.w,) grand divisions of Time are
marked out for us-tho season of
sunshine and the seton of shadow;
one of gladness, be tuty and joy, and
the other of affiliction, sin and
gloom. One repres4nts .'work, the

key touched the store lock, tihe iln
cepdiary applied the match to tihe

assasin left a dead body in tihe
vacant lot.- Many would say it can
not be helped ; that poverty--raised
children ill always become crime
hardened men and women. "I ad

the law, have become reconciled to
