bic and touching presentation Of the
doctrine of tpecial providence. He was
evidently in tender mood, and moved
his congregation to tears and audible

tide is rising, and We are looking for
"times. Of rejoicing" from this time
until the close.

STILL pELuGED BY RAN-THE DAY A DAY
OF sERvIcB-FBRvENT APPEALS.
WooDLAwY, Aug. IS.
The sermon by Rev. D. C. Ridgway
last evening was from Numbers 80: %
-"Be sure your sins will find you
out" 1t was an earnest, clear and ef-
fective appeal to the unconverted. Not
withstanding the rain, the congregation
was large. The attendance during the
entire day was very large, though the
weather was anything but pleasant.
! omitted to say in my last, that, dur
ing the sermon by Rev. Mr.. Stengle at
the stand yesterday afternoon, Rev.
A. D. Davis went to the tabernacle,
where large number of persons had
gone for shelter and preached to them
the word of life, following the appeal
by prayer meeting in which seven
persons were found seeking Christ, four
of whom professed saving faith. The
six o'clock meeting this morning was
led by T. B. Killiam, and was exceed
ingly interesting.
At 81 a. M, Rev. J. B. Mann led the
prayer meeting at the stand. A cold
northeasterly storm was prevailing, yet
the pavilion was filled with earnest
worshipers.
At l09 a. M, Rev. d. C. Ridgway
again preached to US, taking for his text
John 3, l6: "FOr God so loved the
world, &C." Mr.. R. is a preacher of
clear thought, strong convictions and
ready utterance, to which the people
whom he serves as pastor are ready to
testify.
At 3 p. m. sermon by Rev. Chas.
F. Sheppard was delivered in his usual
style from Matt. 25:24.-
During the delivery Of the sermon, the
wind and rain were more violent than
at any time during the storm, but the
pavilion proved good and sufficient
shelter. 1t has been cool enough to
cause tenters to have fire in their tents
all day.
At S p. m. the rain ceased, and the
