Especial Report for the IntelligencEr.l
At the conclusion OF the sermon last
evening many seekers presented them
selves Of the altar, and several proisssed
convention, and two or three received the
BLRssINo OF PERFRcT LOVE.
The meeting was an unusually solemn
one, almost the entire large audience re.
naming and preserving the utmost good
order until the close oj the services. This
morning is so beautiful that everything
promises pleasant time in the camp.
The $50 service was conducted by Rev.
Riheldatfer, and the best Of feeling seem.
ed TO perVsde the minds Of all. The time
was spent in singing and prayer and the
relation OF personal experiences. The
interval between this and public service
at the stand was spent by the msjOrity 10
friendly conversation. In some of the
tents

causing the leaIy grove TO resound with
the joyous strains. At the present writing

ers on horseback, in wagons, &C., and the
indications are that large crowd will be
present today, larger perhaps than on
any preceding day.
SThe 10 o'clock service was opened
with prayer by Rev. Wiley. Rev. J. W.
Webb preached from the text, Ephesians,
I'LL, 1928. The promises Of God for the
encouragement Of the Church was the
theme OF thesermon. Power and agency
constitute the laws oil nature. All the
worlds in space obey this power. This
power Is spiritual. The spirit OF God
quickens the human heart. All the bar
rlers between God and man were re-
moved by the death oi the cross. He Is
now willing to bless, willing TO show
mercy. No difference how low man Is
sunk in sin, there is ample room for hope
God is willing at all times TO save. He
Is unwilling that any should perish.
Anything else would be partial gospel.
His willingness and ability to save 10
beyond human comprehension. He will
bestow blessings far beyond anything
that the human mind can comprehend.
The bestowal Of the spirit In the conver.
sion Of the sinner-whRt finite mind can
fully comprehend itH The recipient can
feel It, and 1t Is his privilege TO become
perfect in this lie; but he can no more
comprehend the work than he can CON-
prehend the existence Of God himself
There is no natural power in man 10 ei
feet this change. We're this the case the
atonement was not needed; Christ need
not have died.
GOD GIVES NAN THE ABILITY
to do his share Of the work. When man
is converted God dwells in his heart in
power and knowledge. This power will
not save independent Of faith and obed.
ence. We have our own work 10 do.
We must sin no more. Must walk in;the
light; must fight as good soldiers, and
work as good workers. II Is the error OF
the nineteenth century to worship nat
ural ability and great learning, not giving
the glory 10 God. The mediation Of
Christ is one Of tho first and greatest
principles Of our holy religion. His com.
ing was in accordance with tho direct
inlfllrnnnt OF rrnrh0sy leans ia The
medium through which we approach the
Father. Shun egotism and pharisalcAl
selt-importance, but be honorable, be per.
iect. ...--. , 49,.
A CHURCH DESTITUTE OF CHRIST
is full Of ignorance. When Christ is in
the church nothing can prevail pgainst il.
All the assaults OF earth and hell will be
as nought. They will oil be as the Thra.
clan arrows aimed OF the sun-they will
return in vengeance upon the heads of
those that aimed them. The Church is
approximatiDg 10 It's highest destiny-the
full conversion Of the world. Gods
Church is the same on earth as in heaven.
We have but 10 cross q narrow stream
from the church militant 10 the church
triumphant.
After the sermon all Joined In singing,
"The King Of Heaven his Table Spreads"
DC. During the singing the ministers
and many OF the brethren surrounded the
altar 10 partake Of the Sacrament of the
Lords Supper. This part of the service
was conducted by Da. g, Martin, and
was very impressive, hundreds pSrtaking
ot the emblems OF the broken body and
shed blood Of their once crucifed but
now risen Lord.
AFTERNOON.
After the usual meeting for the promo.
ton OF holiness in the tabernacle and the
children's meeting in front OF the stand +,
at 8 O'clock Rev. Shaw, Of the Pittsburgh
Conference, preached telling sermon
from the text, "Seek ye first the kingdom
OF God and His righteousness and all
these things shsll be added unto you"
1t was not our pleasure 10 hear the ser
mon, but, we hear 1t spoken oil as one ol
the most able efforts Of the occasion. Al.
ter preaching several presented them
selves at the altar and some time was
spent In singing and prayer. The young
tOlks' meeting in the tabernacle at Q
o'clock was conducted by Mrs. Reilly.
Prayer was offered by Miss Lizzie Boyd.
