Last evening there were eight persons
forward Tor prayers. The morning meet
ing to-day Was in charge OF Rev. Mas.
den. Six or seven prayer circles were
formed in the large tabernacle and pro-
badly fifteen persons asked for prayers.
All who were willing to give themselves
wholly to God and His work, were in
vited to kneel, when most OF the large
audience present consecrated themselves
to Christian work. 1t is TO be devoutly
hoped for that this spirit OF devotion 10
"every good word and work." may
continue not only during the campmeet-
ing but always. We, have seldom
known more intense seriousness and
earnestness than was manifested in the
