Tuesday Evening

The Pillar-room was again quite crowded in every part. After silent waiting upon God, and singing, a great spirit of prayer was again manifested. For an hour or more there was incessant calling upon God, and the many requests sent in were earnestly presented to God in the name of Jesus. The hymn beginning―
Thy name we bless, Lord Jesus,
Thy name all names excelling,
How great Thy love,” etc.

was sung with great fervor, when Mr. H. GRATTAN GUINNESS made an earnest appeal to believers to seek after a higher standard of practical godliness, not to be content with the present measure, nor to rest short of anything less than being “filled with the Spirit:” then there would be meekness, gentleness, and love characterizing us.
Mr. T. W. TRENCH spoke of the errors he found, even among many believers, regarding what God has revealed in His word about judgment. He shewed first from John 5:24, that the believer was delivered from condemnation and judgment as to salvation, and that because his sins had been judged in Christ on the cross, and that condemnation had fallen upon Christ there instead of us. Secondly, that all believers would have to appear at the judgment seat of Christ; but that would not be a judgment as to salvation, but as to reward for our service. (2 Corinthians 5:10.) Thirdly, that Christ would judge the living nations when He comes in His glory, and that we shall then be with Him. He referred to the parable of the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46) in proof of Christ thus judging the living nations, and showed that there was no idea there of resurrection. Fourthly, that Christ will judge all the dead at the great white throne, small and great, and that whosoever is not found written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire.
After singing―
“Lo, He comes with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand, thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah!
Jesus comes on earth to reign.”

The meeting was concluded with prayer.
