It is under the charge of Mr. Broneon, of Moody's school, Chicago. A large con gregation was present and listened at tentively to the excellent sermon which was preached by Mr. Gillam. Mr. Droii Hon.; who possesses an exceed ingly sweat voice, sang a solo and will render one at each meeting, Mr. Gillam spoke of the steps to be taken whioh are essential to a Christian life. The first atep he apoke of was taking Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. ABSOLUTELY PURE Christ into our everyday life. Thin was the very first step to be taken to lead to a higtmr Christian life, which would give us the power to live ns Christ lived. It is one thing to beliove that Jesus Christ is the son of a God and another thing to receive Him as is shown in the Bible. Until this first Btep is taken the Lord will not accept us. Yon first receive the power thai you may be like Jesus. Yoo then receive the Lord from on high, lie pictured the Christian as a bell diver, the love of the Lord Jesus sur rounding the Christian as does tho rubber suit of the bell diver. The eoond step was that of confessing Christ beforo the world. There are two wavs of confessing Christ. One way is by our lives, and the other, which if spoken most of in the Bible, is that of confessing Christ by word of month The necessity and fruits of confessing Christ, both by word and life, were vividly portrayed. It was shown In the upeaker's illustrations that good work was doue by both confessions. The third step was the efficacy of prayer. There are two ways of pray ing; one for everything too person thinks of, worldly and otherwise, and the other was the prayer which reaches its destination. That one which asks for the necessities of life and the glory of God. The next step Wal the study of the Word. Unless the Bible was studied in the spirit of prayer and In utmost reverence, it was time wasted. It should not be studied us a matter of duty, but because we love God and wish to learn His way and live it. The next and fifth step was our attendance to church duties. The faithfulness iu fulfilling the church duties was one of the most im portant stepi. The sixth atep was f el -lowsliip. If their are two persons who are not in fellowship one with the other, it is distinct proof that they are not walking in the light nor following in the footsteps of the Saviour. The next step was to get to work. There is no use to hold evangelistic services unless the people do their ut most to contribute to its snccess.aud he hoped that not one would leave tho church without concluding to do some thing for Christ, even though It be to carry a ticket to some friend. The last step was 'never give up. " Never render your heart to the adversary of your soul. If you stumble and fall arise aeain aud push forward, but never give np. A people's service was held at 3 30 p. tn. and a meeting was also held iu the evening. There will bo no meetintr this afternoon but Mr. Gillam will preach this evening at 7 30.

Mr. Schuller and others who were early on tho scene claim that the fire was of incendiary origin as the flames were at ti rat confined to thj roar portion of the structure and burst llirough Into the stalls and hay loft about the time they arrived.
