Daniel s. Toy will also apeak there briefly on the work The noon meeting yesterday at First Baptist church was conducted by Dr. Toy. The auditorium was ailed tor tne The afternoon service, conducted by Dr. J.

Wilbur Chapman, at the First Presbyterian church, was addressed peciaily to motnera, The church was crowded and nearly aa many were turned away as secured scats. Dr. Chapman's subject was "Parental Responsibility;" Genesis xllv, 84; "For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me?" He used Judah's question to Joseph in Egypt to brine home to mothers the responsibility upon them In regard to their children. The transition is easy In thought for each heart to press home upon iuelf the buraen of its lite. If Ute mother's life be right, it will carry its imiuence into the Lves of the chliaren and all others who come under its reach.

Dr. Chapman's illustrations were aptly se.ected and told with directness and candor, leaving a deep impression upon the mothers who had come in response to his invitation to attend the special servioe toy them. The Night Service. At the First naethodlst church last night Dr. Chapman's subject was No Difference." 'ihe crowd was larger if possible than on any previous occasion, many Were unable to obtain seats and stood in the aisles, doors and vestibule.

Dr. Chapman's sermon was from the "For there is no difference." Roman. ill, 22. This is one of the most difficult state ints in all the Bible, and I ean understand how the unregenerate man ouia resent its application. I can hear lm Say, 'What! no difference hatwoon the man who has fallen to the very lowest depths of sin and wretchedness, and the man who, boasting of his morality, has swerved only a frnm duty and the law of Godr And the an iwer to this question is both 'Yes' and "There is a difference Id and degradation wide as the poles; but uu ainerence so far as guilt is concerned, for both have relected the.

"I do not ask If you are a sinner, for as we ordinarily use this word, we think of one who Is lawless, wild and profane. But I ask 'Have you offended In one single Dointr if g0.

"There is a text which declares, 'Our secret sins in the light of his and another reads that 'All things are naked and open before him with wbom we have to In the light of this, who? "But the charge Is even closer. We are responsible for the sinful thought Which tarries in the mind by the consent of our will.

Who can stand in the light of this?
