Episcopal church yesterday afternoon. The church
was crowded, the major part of those present
being ladies, who seemed to take very deep In
terest In all that was said.
The Rev. Mr.. Boole presided, and the Rev. Mr.
Mcdonald led in the opening prayer, which was
full of earnestness and feeling. After prayer Mr..
BOOe introduced Dio Lewis, OF women's crusade
fame.
Mr. LEWIS opened his remarks by stating that
there was something in the movement which
frightened him. At first when he entered on the
good work he was not afraid of It, but within a
short time it had developed q some thing
which TO him was alarming. He said there
was now so much of God in the movement that
he wished to go and hide himself. The creature OF
his creation had taken on so much Of God that he
now came to regard it with awe and trembling.
What he had intended to be local had become
universal, and now the tide Of religious feeling
that had been aroused could not be stemmed by
any sectional influence or anmOsity 1t seemed
rs though 1t were going to sweep across the face
OF the whole country. But, as he had not come to
the meeting to talk Of what was being done in
Onio out OF what ought to be done in the East, he
would let the West 60 on IN the good work
