EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

The revival services at the Christian church, notwithstanding the stormy weather, has growq in interest from night to night. Rev. Wilson’s sermons have been full of thought, thoroughly mastered, eloquently and earnestly presented. His sermon on, “If Christ Should Come to Rensselaer,” was a rebuke to church members for not taking safe ground on all doubtful questions. He said “we should heware of anything that wore the devil’s brand; ‘no harrb in it.’ ” "Dancing was wrong,” he said, “because nine-tenths of the fallen women came to their ruin through the dance. Card playing

was wrong because gamblers are made at tbe card tableHe said “it is as much gambling to play for a $lO vase as a $lO bill.” A feature of each evening’s meeting is the bible drill by the children, in which they are taught how to handle the word of God. Professor Lintt, with his chorus of seventy voices and his excellent solo work, adds much to the interest of every service. The revival will continue over Sunday and through next week.
