GREAT TEMPERANCE MEETING.
at $50 the throng gathered from all direc-
tions to take part in the temperance meeting,
as per resolutions adopted yesterday
and sent last night by the Asso
ciated Press to all parts OF
the country. Rev. Reuben Washburn, OF
Cannon Falls, opened the meeting with prayer
to God to put hook in the jaw of the liquor
traffic, to which spontaneous responses of an
unmistakable type came from the audience in
all quarters. Rev. w. w. Satterlee, an able
advocate of prohibition in Minnesota, made a
statement of the present condition of the
temperance struggle in Iowa, declaring that
the vendors of alcohol are perfectly willing
to Wa nave nease pray bt the as sp @%ea
declared that temperance men must cast bal.
lots and pray too. Mrs. Hobart OF Red
Wing who has in the last few months come to
the front as a very earnest worker in this
field made, an impulsive address in favor OF
prohibition. Revs. Holt of Wisconsin and
Spates of Red Wing renewed the devotiOns,
and the audience, which was now in great
commotion, sang "Where is my boy tonight"
At this gentleman from the western part OF
Minnesota rose way out in the congregation
and said"my boy is in Iowa and will vote to-day
for prohibition. j. F. Chaffee, chairman OF
the committee on agitation OF temperance
work in Minnesota, said:
"We ask the people to vote for no man Tor
the Minnesota assembly who will not pledge
himself to submit this question to the people,
and if the present existing political parties will
not give us this question, then we call upon
the people to give us party that will"
Mrs. Buck, of Winona, fairly set things to
buzzing by talk in which the audience were
kept laughing or crying all the time.
Robert Smith, of st. Paul, who once knew
us pray" "Now Lord" said he, 1--WE
admit we cannot regulate the devil and we
pray that he may. be cast OUT, beer kegs and
ALL and most devoutly prayed that the land
of his birth-England-m be redeemed
from rum and ale.
Rev. G. F. Wells, of Lake Crystal, a young
man of fine parts, made clear, strong speech
in favor OF prOhIbltl0n.
1t was simply impossible to close the meet
ing, the audience taking the bits in their own
mouths and running for more than two hours.
Two thousand people were present, mostly
men and women sprinkled with gray and
with determination in their faces.
AT II O'CLOCK
Rev. Price, Welsh clergyman, told his ex-
perience, and like all Methodsts. he has an
experience of nothing else.
Mr.. Harrison followed in the same line, who
has no superior in relating the experiences OF
himself and those with whom he has come In
contact. A vein of pleasantly characterized
the evangelist in this meeting, but the wind
ing up was indeed marvellous. The reporter
saw more than fifty persons on their knees at
the altar, crying for blessing and praisiDg
God.
AFTERNOON.
A children's meeting was led at
$50 by Mrs. N. M. Learned, of Minneapolis.
Not few of the future men and women
of Minnesota will remember the lessons
learned in the children's meetings at this
camp meeting. Mrs. Learned has great heart
in her work and while the children's meeting
was going on in prayer tent No. 2, meet
ing for the promotion of holiness was being
Jed by Rev. w. X. Marshall. This meeting
was held chiefly for the benefit OF ministers,
and it really looked as if all the ministers OF
Minnesota, Dakota, and part of Wisconsin
were present and much earnest work done.
AT $50.
Rev.T. NJ. Gossard preached after DIR. Am
bier, of Sank Center, had led in prayer, a good
sermon from the text, "How shall we escape
if we neglect SO great salvation" Salvation
means deliverance from impending danger or
ruin; in this case it is salvation from the con.
sequences of sin. 1t is great salvation that
can do this. Mr.. Gossard is an interesting
preacher.
Robert Smith led the after meeting, in
which number presented themselves for
prayer as seekers of this great salvation.
Two division meetings were held at $50 by
the Hamline students, in which much interest
was shown.
EVENING MEETING.
At o'clock there was sea of human faces
looking up toward the stand, from whence
comes the chief interest. Rev. Mr.. Higgins
led in prayer. us my name written there?"
was sung, when Mr.. Harrison earnestly prayed
for the presence of the Comforter. Then
followed vivacious account oflthe subter-
fuges under which the impenitent take shelter,
and the blood of Jesus was recommended as
the only thing able to cleanse from sin. A
large number came forward for prayers, and
many were blessed.
