ings are held to promote anything elsel.
General experience meeting at 9 O'Clock
every morning, SO We have a very
abundant variety. III one were COM
peled TO attend all the meetings, We
would have too many, but you are at
liberty to 90 when you please and make
YOUR own selection.
The rules are not enforced to the dis
advantage OF ones real enjoyment or
freedom, nor should they be. We must
allow to every person as much OF the
prerogative OF judging for themselves as
we take TO ourselves. In the whole the
plans Of this encaDIpment are IN pretty
good business shape.
The early morning meeting was con-
Quoted to day by Rev. J. J. Dolliver and
had fair attendance, considering the
hour. The experience me ting was held
at the same time, or the two meetings
were combined. Quite a number OF
persons testified to the saving and in
MIGRATING power OF the great truths OF
Christianity.
AtlO:30, Rev. f. W. Ryan, with great
earnestness and power, preached ago0d
plain practical sermon from the text,
land they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost" The sermon was opportune
and well received at this initial stage OF
the meeting.
Children's meeting at l:30 was held
by Rev. Geo. f. Hte. The children
are much pleased with these services
and in the future these services may be
found the most generous agency for re-
cruiting the strength OF the church and
saving the morals Of the youth OF our
surrounding neighborhood. We would
suggest to the adults to remain away
from this meeting, unless you are 10 as
sist. Let the children have it their own
way-free from all restraint and embar-
rassment caused by the knowledge that
YOU are listening to and watching their
progress.
The sermon at o'clock was by Rev.
J. j. Dolliyer from the text, For am
OF ashamed of the Gospel OF Christ"
Romans l.l6. An earnest old-iashioned
sermon tull OF plain Gospel truths. The
speaker wound up his discourse by re
lating his personal experience, which by
the way is as rich and varied as that OF
any minister in our State, and worthy OF
careful consideration.
Ayoung peoples meeting at 6 o'clocE,
conducted by Rev, &. Z. Masden, OF
Wheeling, was interesting aud pleasing
No dry speeches are needed in this de-
plrtment or in fact anywhere else.
At 7:3O this evening large congrega-
ton assembled at the stand. The ser.
mon was by the Rev. Il b. Hughes, OF
Wheeling. Text-"Submit yourselves,
therefore, to God'-James Az. Theme
The wisdom of submission unto the
Lord. The discourse was appropriate
and well delivered.
At the close OF this sermon, very in
teresting altar services were held fJr
nearly an hour, and in this connection
We NAV say that the altar service after
the morning sermon to-day was spoken
OF as one OF the best he'd on these
grounds for several years. The spirit
was present in great power.
NOTES.
Among to.day's arrivals We notice
Prof. Wade, OF Morgantown; b. W.
Turner, OF Philadelphia; also Bros. W.
f. Rippy, q. f. Hite, ID. Davis and ID.
l.. Ash, etc.
Presiding Elder Ryan is admirably
adapted to controlling meeting OF this
kind. Genial, pleasant, fluent oil
speech, saying the right thing in the
right place, he has alread y won his way
to the sympathy and best wishes OF all
the people.
The choir is not yet organized, AMI
many of US think it would be an i'm
provement il q few good singers were
set apart to lead the congregation in
singing.
We have no book stand this year, but
the REGISTER can be- had every morning
at Q O'Clock from the Moundsville agent,
Mr. George Sigafoose Persons leaving
orders with him will he promptly sup.

The oldest minister present is Rev. J.
i. Deliver, ore OF the early and success.
Il pioneers of Methods IN insWest Vir.
GINA He intends going West soon,
and will be greatly missed by the host
OF friends he will leave in this state. He
is a native OF New Jersey, a plain, prac-
tical, old style preacher. He can give
you warm shake of the hand, and is
not afraid even in these advanced times
to say "amen."
We understand that at the annual
election OF members to be held in few
days, two tickets will be put before the
electors, one will be for "Waterworks
and open gates;" the second for "Closed
gates" with or without water works.
The above is rumor and your cores.
pUndent can vouch for it, but it is prob.
ably pretty near the prospective plat
form. The tickets TO select from last
year were not considered fairly made
out. Many OF the best men on the
ground were left off and several put Oh
who only come to view the situation
once in a while. The making out OF
tickets ought not to be eft to one man,
or to small number OF persons.
