Meetings.
The enthusiasm continues with I'M
abated yipor at the Fourth Street Nj. +.
Church. and the handsome edifice, spa
cions as IL is, was found too small TO
contain the vast audience that had
fiocked TO it. Saturdays evangelical
experience meeting was one oil the pest
OF the series. lightweight persons spoke
during the hour set apart ior tue ser
wees, and one and all heartily recon-
mended the religion as the best and only
insurance for the future. Seldom has
there been such an experience meeting
within the walls OF this church. Fifteen
persons presented themselves Tor prayer.
The services OF Sunday were com
menced with a Love Feast ut A. NJ, al
which every one seemed to wish 10 tes-
tiiy for Christ,
At 1890 A. NJ. the large audience room
Of the church was packed with people
wishing 10 listen to the burning words
of Mrs. Robinson. The text was taken
from the Sith Psalm, 18th verse FOR
God is Il sun and shield. The Lord VIII
give grace and glory. No good thing
will He withhold from them that walk
uorightly." At this meeting twelve
persons were gained upon probation;
making total OF thirty-seven received
into the chuch since Conference.

The effects of the revival are here
plainly visible as the interest is greater
and the numbers increasing The adult
Bible classes are made a specially, all
being cordially invited to attend and
join.

literally packed. Fourteen hundred
persons are said to have been IN the
house, the seating capacity OF the audi.
ence room when packed is 1000, and
400 chairs were placed in the alsles and
altar. At least 500 persons were unable
| TO gain admittance to the house. sthe
| interest is increasing, it is thought 1t
would be well to hold week night ser
vices In the audience room, so AS to ac-
comolatc those who desire TO attend.
The whole membership are zealously at
WORK, and the predictions are that
Wheeling has never known such re-
yival as this promises to be. All are
respectfully invited to attend, especially
those who desire to live new life.

preached two sermons appropriate TO
| Inc day, the one oi the morning from
John Ii. 80, thereafter will not talk
much with YOU; for the prince OF this

The Sunday school had very fine
blackboard illustration OF the lesson of

per-" by Superintendent Zevely, and an
address on the same by Rev. Barnltz.

dienCe Of one shall many be made

third, the temptations, and fourth, the
result Of these temptations.
TEMPERANCE.
By far, the largest temperance meet.
ing ever held in this city, was the one
at Washington Hall, Yesterday after
noon. II is known by tickets taken ut
the first temperance anniversary held at
the opening OF Washington Hall, Feb
ruary II, 1873, that there were nearly
800 persons present; and as the audi
once was much larger, yesterday, II Is
thought that 900 would be lair estl-
mate. Notwithstanding the unusual
lam and the uncomfortable position that
hundreds occupied, there was the best
of order Several OF Wheelings iavorite
orators led off in their usual eloquent
and earnest manner. and were followed
| by Mrs. l.. u. Robinson, who for nearly
one hour held the audience in
almost breathless silence. Her lecture
was one OF unusual interest; her argu-
mcnts ercCunvinCing, her illustrations
apt, Her words ot clOquencc were ut
tered with remarkable power and dis
tinCtness, and her earnestness clearly in
Dictated that her heart was In the work.
She was followed by Rev. G.. L. Masden
in few brief but very appropriate re-
marks, with pressing invitation To
young men to sign the pledge and lead
better lives, 10 which quite number
promptly responded. The meeting was
dismissed with a bcuediction by Rev.
Wilding. and the largest and most de-
lighted audience that ever assembled in
Washington Hall, quietly dispersed.
An enthusiastic Temperance meeting
was held last evening ut OTIS
hall. The hall was well filed and the
audience l:stened with pleasure to al
dresses delivered by the following gen
,lemen: Messrs. ]. Dallas Ewing, T.
J. Cartwright, Frank Cline, Captain
John Baggs and j. I. Felber. Mr..

tant business meeting on "Wednesday
