The Baptist church was literally packed last night when J. Bruce Ev ans, the evangelist, arose to speak. The main auditorium and the Sunday school room were fi'.led to overflow ing.

The Times appeals to the treasury to give Mr. Morgan a guarantee not to collect death duties so long as the collection remains unsold, so it might be left in this country some time longer. Owing to th interest ar oused by the announcement of the re moval large numbers are now visiting the collection, whitch hitherto had been practically neglected 'by the pub-lie.
