Interest InteasIfying-The Prayer, In
quiry and Union Meetings Yesterday
Largely Attended.
The interest in the gospel meetings
seems to grow more rapidly in intensity as
the time approaches for the departure Of the
Evsngelists. The noon prayer meeting in
the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church
and all the inquiry meetings were attend
ed by serious crowds yesterday, ard the
Exposition building was densely crowded
on the occasion Of the union meeting last
night.
Devotional exercises were opened BY
Rev. DR.. HOyte, and the song, "Once for
all, was sung by the congregation. Rev.
DR.. McNeilly led in prayer, after which
the song, "Hallelujah, It's Done" J" was sung
in an enthusiastic manner by the cOngraga-
tion.
Mr.. Bliss then sang in his usual touch
ing manner the song ''HOme," the congre-
CATION joining in chorus. Rev. DR.. Green
followed with a brief and fervent PRAYER.
Mr.. Bliss followed with a brief prayer
and then sung "If Papa were only ready"
This song was sung in an unusually touch
ing and phathetic manner, and at its cOnclu-
which tears were almost strangers.
Mr.. Whittle then took the stand and af-
ter brief and fervent prayer, chose the
29th verse Of the 1st chapter Of St. John
as his text. He preached a strong and elO-
quent sermon, dwelling on the resemblance
which the sacrifice of the Olden DAYS bore
to the crucifxiOn of Christ. lie con-
cluded his discourse with an earnest ap-
peal 10 unbelievers.
DR.. Hoyt then led in prayer, and
at the conclusion a large number
stood up to be prayed for. Those
who desired to consult with ministers in
regard TO the salvation Of their souls ad-
jOurned to the side room.
Benediction was pronounced by Rev. DR..
Shelton, and the congregation was dis
missed.
The young men then adjourned TO

Father Mathews Pledge.

We were shown yesterday one Of the
total abstinence cards distributed by Rev.
Father Mathew, the great Temperance
Apostle, during ihis visit 10 Nashville in

a haif wide. ~ the top is a banner, sur
mounted with an eagle, with the iEscTIp-

Mathew commenced his labOrs in the cause
of Temperance by the establishment Of the
Irish Total Abstinence Society ON the 10th
Of April, 1888"
At the right end Of the card, equi. distant
from the top and bottom, is a beehive, in
a corresponding position on the left hand,
is a candle-stand upon which are a candle
and bottle arOuud which a serpent is
COiled. Between the stand and beehive
are two medals. One medal has next the
circumference the words, "Americin Total

is beating his wife, while the Devil looks
on with delight. On the right is a picture
of "Temperau0e," represented by neat

Reunion Of the Grand Armies.

CHICAGO, MAY 12.-After ten years Of
peace the soldiers and sailors of the late
war are assembling. Chicago has put on
her best clothes, her most patriotic airs, and
is endeavoring TO DO justice to the occasion.
Representatives from all the grand armies
that made up the forces Of the Union are
rapidly arriving. By far the lager part Of
those from the Eastern and Middle States
belonged to the Army Of the Potomac.
These are met by those who followed Sher-
man and Thomas. The Army of the
Ohio, Of the james, Of Georgia, and the
cavalry corps will also participate. The
celebration will continue three days. Most
of to-day IS gwen to the Grand Army Ofthe
Republic, which is the leading organization
of the reunion.
Chicago presents very gay scene to-day,
flags are flying from all the principal build
ING and the streets are crowded with
soldiers in cay uniforms. The day is per
feet.
The National Encampment Of the Grand
Amy OF the Republic was held in McCOr-
micl's Hall, nearly one hundred members
present, representing fifteen States. The
election of officers occurs tomorrow, and
there is little doubt that Gov. HartTsnit
will be elected Commander in-Chief.
