MoUNDsvILLE, August 81.
To-day has been pleasant one on the
grounds, and everyone seems to be en-
ioying the cool shade OF this forest city
tucked in by the stately poplars and
sturdy oaks from the scorching rays OF
the sun. 1t has been very warm here
to-day, but there has been a gentle
breeze about the camp which makes it
comfortable in every quarter.
The meeting for the promotion OF
holiness was held in the tabernacle at
S o'clock this morning, and was con-
Quoted by Rev. W. G. Rheildaffer. Al
ter several prayers and experiences,
Mrs. A. G. Robinson, who arrived here
last night from Indiana, was introduced
to the audience, and spoke with great
earnestness and beauty of expression.
A striking characteristic of her talks is
her apt illustrations and pungent man
ner of speech.
Rev. l.. i. Stewart, of Fairmont, preach
ed from the main stand at l0;30, from
first Cor. l4th verse, subject Spiritual
Discernment," OF which the follow
ing are some OF the main points: Phil
osophy and science do not reveal God
and His ways. The question is often
asked, "Why are so many scientists ir-
religious?' Facts do not warrant the
assertion. Leading, cultured minds are
not, as rule, sceptics. But why are
some of those sceptics? The text an
swers-Spiritual truths are spiritually
discerned. If man would know God,
he must enter the Holy of Holes.
There is desire in man to know God;
this argues that God reveals Himself.
There are three kinds of revelation l.
Nature. 2. The Bible. 3. The Holy
Spirit. The latter is the greatest.
This sermon was well prepared, de-
livered in forcible manner and highly
appreciated by the large audience pres
ent. ... 49,
Mrs. Robinson followed with touch
ing and powerful exhortation, after
which she led an interesting altar SER
vice.
The Children's meeting in the Taber-
nacle, at 1:S0, was largely attended. The
meeting was conducted DR.. s. J. Stone.
Mr.. Will j. Mcconnell, OF UniOntOwn,
Pa, made very eloquent address to the
children, and was followed by Mrs. Rob
inson, in one of her very feeling and in
terestng talks, when the meeting was
closed with singing.
At3o'clock, Rev.W. H. Wiley preached
from the main stand, a very earnest
sermon from first Peter and Sth verse,
"WhOm having not seen We love-" &c.
At the close of this sermon, DIR. DeHass
addressed the congregation for short
time, making pathetic appeal to the
uncOnverted.
The Young peoples meeting held in
the tabernacle at 8 o'clock was addressed
by Revs. Hite, c. +. Manchester and f.
W. Ryan.
At $50 services were opened in the
auditorium, and Rev. T. II. Trainer
preached stirring sermon from Heb.
81 chap. and 18th verse.
At the conclusion of the sermon, Mrs.
4. q. Robinson took the stand and
spoke in most logical, earnest and elo-
quent manner for about twenty minutes.
This lady is truly gifted in speech, and
has a power OF reasoning that is rarely
possessed by any lady.
