A tremendous audience assembled to
hear the afternoon sermon at 3p. IN. Rev.
8. H. c. Smith Of Lancaster was the
preacher. The sermon was based on the
words recorded in ROM, xiii, 10: Love
is the fulfilling of the law" The text has
reference to the moral law which was given
under awful circumstances. n graphic de-
scription was made of the givin. of the
moral law. The conditions of this law re-
quire perfect obedience. The law cannot
bring salvation. The gospel points out
the way of pardon and salvation. There
are many things the law can do, but it
cannot pardon, save and reform the sinner.
law reaches only to action and not to char
acter.
The preacher continued to draw
4 comparison. between the law and
the gospel. Rev. Smith is well
known to the people in Lancaster: it is
not nced:ul to give an extended outline Of
the sermon or description of his style. He
held the audience we'll notwithstan,Iin.

The evening prayer meeting in the large
tent was extraordinary in interest and
spiritual power.
The evening congregation was quite
large, estimated at $500. Rev. IL.
Wheeler, OF Columbia, was the preacher.
He has 4 commanding voice and made all
hear. His text is recorded in Cor, Xv.,
24-2!. His theme was the completion
and completeness Of the scheme of human
redemption. 1t was deeply thoughtful
and forcibly delivered. The preacher S
voice rang out though the still evening
and over the vast audience in tones OF
deepest solemnity.
Several pcnitents have presented them
selves at the altar of prayer.
Notwithstanding the mOvin. mass OF
people on the ground every thing passed of
orderly. We have heard Of no rumpu OF
difficulty on any part of the ground.
On Saturday evening some of the l,sel
sort made the night hitlcOus with the il
