not be room enough to receive it while disposed to resenttbe indis criminate oritioism of the churches indulged in by many illogical judges dr gilmour admitted that there is great need of revival in the ohuroh the oharohes of to day cannot go bask to the methods in vogue among the churches of fifty years ago but the spirit of the past needs to be recalled there is need of a revival of gener osity a renewal of bible study and a quickening of the spirit of prayer in passing the preacher referred to the great revival of the eighteenth oentary and paid a glowing tribute to the work and worth of john and charles wes ley sod george whitfield i the text of the evening sermon was acts 1881 believe on the lord jesus and thou shalt be sav ed thou and thy house pointing out the great opportunity afforded the ohurohes of today in connec tion with- the reconstruction whioh must follow the great war dr gilmour said that there is great need among all christian people of an unwavering belief in and conviction as were manifested by john calvin in geneva and john knox in scotland it is es sential at all times that christ be placed in the forefront a strong appeal was made to all present to exercise this personal faith in our lord jesus the ohuroh oboir led by mr hortopwith mias mc at the organ and assisted by miss todd soloist and mr john blair and mr boy molelland of toronto rendered a
