Persons have been congratulating them
selves on short sermons since the opening
OF this meeting, and II certainly spoke
highly of this sermon, which, although
an hour in length was listened to

Rev. Wolf Is certainly power in the
world.
Al go P. NJ. Rev. Cobbledick preached
from Hebrews ., last clause Of the 9th
verse.
Ala o'clock q very interesting prayer
meeting was held. Immediately after
this were held In each tent meetings
which are much better and promptly
attended than any other, viz meetings
around the supper table. We do not
blame this. It is natural and necessary,
but could We for one week put our inter-
est as thoroughly in the work Of the
meeting, who can calculate the amount
Of good that might be accomplished in
this one week. 1a'" .
AT $50 P. NJ. 8 special meeting was
held 10 the tabernacle, these meetings
are certainly what they are called, "a
means Of grace" Itia human nature TO
wish TO know how others feel on the
same subjects In which we are interested,
and how much stronger we feel when we
know that others have met and conquered
the same difficulties under which we felt
we must sink. These social meetings,
class meetings, experience meetings or
what ever they may be called, are the
power that has placed the Methodist
Church where it Is to-day, the foremost
10 the land.

James Gledhill, from Prov. 1l.l9. This
gentleman is so well known in the vicin-

under way The crowds 10 attendance
are growing hourly, everything starts of
10 a satisfactory manner. .ta Z
