DESCRIPTION or THE JAYSEs's HALL DAILY MEETING.
An eminent clergyman OF the Old School Presbyterian
Church gives graphic description Of the Philadelphia
MONDAY Meeting attended regularly by over 1900 per.
sons II was the most mammoth continuous prayer
meeting held on the face OF the earth;
You will perceive that this work claimed as going
on in the churches Is but what ought 20 be expected IN
the natural course among them OF Christian lnnashee.

Again, the Chairman speaks. Prayer Is desired for

Whether our Chief Magistrate would feel honored by
