” The destiny of ths wicked ” was the subject of the lecture at the Tent last night. There was a good attendance, and all seemed interested in the Bible evidence brought forth.

They are said “to perish,” to be “ cut off,” “ burned up,” “ destroyed,” “ consumed,” and to be ”as though they had not been.” “ Sanctification : What is it?—How and when obtainable?” was announced as the subject for this evening.
