Many Taking Advantage of the Golden Opportunity and Embrac. Religion. The large auditorium and the galleries of the First Presbyterian church were filled with people last night listen' to Rev. Jordan deliver his powerful address on "The top Young Man Absolom." The talk was a masterly one, and was considered one of. the most effective yet delivered by the evangelist during the present meeting, The lite and career of Absolom, the biblical character, were kept constantly before his hearers and the dissipated life he led was illustrated in many ways as that which should be shunned by all young men.

Second Samuel. Mr. Jordan took his theme from Second Samuel, eighteenth chapter and thirty and thirty-second verses. "And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absolom safe? And Cushi answered, the enemies my lord, the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. And the king was much moved, and went up the chamber over the gate 0, my son Absolom, would God A I wept; and as the wept thus he said, had died for thee, Absolom, my son, my.

son." The speaker dwelt constantly on the fact that all young men who followed in the footsteps of Absolom would go down to everlasting disgrace and death. "What it did to Absolom, it will do to you," said the evangelist. "Absolom was fond of pomp and display. He was extremely vain. His thoughts were upon himself and not upon others.
