past the Y l C A committee had en aged itself in carrying chair and benches to the First Congregational church but the seating capacity neverthelOss fell far short of accommodating the vast throng that athered around the church beforetime before-time for beginning the serices Eleven hundred people were seated and more than half that number were turned away unalHe to secure even standing room

Jreacher at last nights meeting and his discourse more meeLng titan repaid the congregation for the disappointment dis-appointment I the fautire of Moody to appear hen aSKed Mr jader lays no claim t luency in the English language but his sermon proved very much to the contrary I was oratorical lull of beau tlul comparIsons and sparkling with an eedotes concerning himself Which are related re-lated wIth such frankness and simpLicity that his hearers are from the start fled wit interest jader Is the Moody of Sweden and no term more fitly describes him He beats the same reltons with the people of his native country a Moody does with the Americ nation He has I held some wonderful meetings in com pan wlth Prince Oscar second son of ICing Oscar of Sweden who Is also an evangelist rjaders labors have been I for the greater part in countries surrounding sur-rounding the Battle sea and he speaks a number of foreign languages but this year he will he the claborer of Moody I in America InTf stranger Is at once struck with the handsome figure of Mr jader He stands I abut six feet four or fve 1rches and is I remarkably wellpiuportioned His face fI more lfeV the Grecian type than any j other though this hardly deserbes it He j ha a large nose steelgray eyes and a fine military moustache 11 jader is an army man and a university graduate I Though under W years of age he is eminent emi-nent In hurope as an eangelst and pub I Ic speaker hiS style is straightforward and his personality magnetic I was positively touching to see the Swedish people present come forward at the close of the meeting lat night to press his hand Their faces more than their acts I depleted the love they felt and told how I proud they were of their cetuatryman I While here Mr Tjade will address the ScandinavIan people I The etre congregation was captivated with the sermon Interspersed with vocal I select ns led by Mr Towner This gentleman I gen-tleman is master chorister He led the congregation superblY and in less than I five minute apparent had the gathering gather-Ing singing airs they never before had herd 111 Towne sang two solos very effectively one of these being Fanny Crosbys Grace beautiful hymn Saved By A WALK WITH GOD Mr Tjader took for his text Enoch walked with God He spoke of a ChriStian ChrIs-tian life from this point of view designating desig-nating it a wall with GOd the Christian not runnIng impatiently ahead of God nor yet lagging lazily behind He saId that a man who walks with God has a happy life he never tires of the walk I have been in the life eleven years and three I months said he and it grows better evry day I once asked a friend of mine a colonel in the army his age His only answer was Eleven yeas henr I showed some astonishment he explained explaned tat he was converted that many years back that lost but counted all u the Jeas before I TUat a man WhO waits with God leads a busy life was another point demonstrated demon-strated by the speaker Be could not be t 1s rnthl 21 ofsb a Christian and he lazy His life is a blessed one and his satisfaction is not I complete unless he is also trying to help others He also spoke of i as a safe life I The speaker referred to a time when he I I and Prince Oscar were holding a meeting in Sweden The IcIng sent for the prince and reproached him saying it was beneath I be-neath the dignity of a kings son to bean be-an evangelist He counseled the prince to refrm from the work but received I only one reply Father I must tel men abut this gospel that I enjoy I Mr jader related an experIence while on a sea voyage A fierce stOrm was rag ing and shipwreck seemed inevitable The frt day out the weather had been beautiful beau-tiful and he had offered some Christian tracts to the passengers and crew for perusal pe-rusal Many of them did not hesitate to eXress their unbelief the rate in particular par-ticular declaring himself an inldel and saying he was his own god He further expressed his surprise that a great big man like Tinder should be so foolish a to believe in Christ The storm arose as next day and when the speaker crawled on his bands and knees to the bridge where the mate was trembling with fear I I the later turned and besought the evan I geist to pry for him I answered that I he should pry for himself continued tne speaker with great emphasis and there where he lay trembling and shak ing this man who but a few hours before 1 i l had loudly declared that he was his own god prostrated himself and prayed in fear oC God I The sermon occupied somewhat over an hour and dealt at considerable length with the work of the evangelists thrdughout evangelsts troughout I the country ader is certainly one of the most in terestng sure the religious world has j seen for some time He will preach tOday at 3 pm and again at S oclocl this even ing 1 he church will undoubtedly be crowded to is utmost j < S I |
