A DDI! ESS TO MEN. There was a large attendance of men at the monthly service at St. Mark's Church on Sunday afternoon, when the Rev. C. I'. Askew gave an address, Mr. Askew took for his text, "To whom will ye go?" lie stated that religion was innate and could 110 more be derived from outward sources than thinking or loving, •"i.'/ere were people, he said, who were desti/ute of religion, just as there >vere people destitute of intellect and affection, and wo pitied thorn, as we pitied the blind, deaf, dumb, but normal human beings were religious, and atheism was only the attempt not to bo so. If a man wished to become an artist 110 would study the works of the great masters. If he wished to become a musician or an author he would tako as his model the great musicians and writers. and if 110 wished to live tho highest tvpo of life ho would copy the purest life ever lived—the life of Jesus Christ, The speaker contrasted the lives and work of men who lived contemporaneously, instancing Voltaire and Wesley, Paine and Howard, Ingersoll ami Moody, concluding with an earnest appeal to all his hearers to answer the question, "To whom will yc go?" by deciding for Christ.
