THE BAPTIST UNION.
Sunday aftornoon al the Baptist
Union was a pleasant feature of the
day.
John Runyan, in Pilgrim’s Progress,
was the topic for study, and after a
a brief synopsis of h s life, and wri
lings < f “The Dream,” by Mr. Mur¬
ray, various extracts from the book
were given.
Mr. AI 'en read in a thrilling way
Christian’s impulse to llee from the
vvra ^], t 0 eont", and liis tleparlure
fn m the city of destruction, The
wor< j c> •‘Lit',', life eternal life” ringing
out a warning call to all. The
Slough of Desp >nd. with its atten-
dant dangers, was pictured by Mr.
Hudson in his usual impressive style.
Mr. Evans told of the man in
i[ 1(! ( .. )( ]r e 0 p despair,’’ who had re-
fused io watch and be sober, and had
come to such a ease, the W’’ids a ser-
s.

iinn lo-t his burden at I lie foot of the
cross, wa- read by.Miss Horne, clo-ing
with the couplet, “Blest cross! blest
si pu'clire'’ blest rather be, the man
who there wa* put to -Name f r me.
The -ong ‘ at the cress” followed.
His passing tbroueli the valley of ihc
shadow of death, and ils accora pa ey¬
ing horrors, though nevn thele-s in
company with one who had with him
ids guide, as weil a's he himse'f was
depicted by Miss Bacon.
Next followed a viytd pic'ure of
their arrival at Vanity Fair, and of
the t-ial of faitful, by Mrs Passmore,
The eongregaiion was spellbound by
he story of him. Faitbfu' unto death,
burned at the stake for Jesu’s sake,
Mrs Turner in her char bell like
voice gave Ihe pathetic tePing ot the
pas-age over the river of death, Chris
tian felt that the bottem was good. At
la-t tney got oyer. A duct ‘‘Oyer
Jordon’s dark and and stormy river,”
was then sung, the cmgregat' ion
joined in -lugiug final hymn, ‘•now-
firm a foundation.” A prayer that
all pres 1 lit might have a Christian ex¬
perience closed a most interest¬
ing meeting of die Union.

There was never such a rush to
this office for sample copies as wo
bad last (Saturday, and through
this week. Mett who have never
subscribed, sent in for sample
copies. Men who never support
a newspaper rushed in for a Ram-
pie. Borne of them take more pa¬
pers than they read. Yes, they
take an almanac once a year.
They sit around and gossip, that
isall they know about vvh;;t is go¬
ing on. Then when tlmy are
told that the paper contains
somthing ejtra they stroll in for
sample copies.
We take pleasure in mailing
copies to parties out of town or
