prayer meeting conducted by Rev. Kephart.
OF Byron, which proved to be an occasion of
much interest to the many who had the self
denial to rise at o'clock, in fact, the old

meeting, which in The past have never made
Methodistism propogative power with the
masses.
At s o'clock an experience meeting was con-
Quoted by the Rev. j. Door, OF Winona,

Mrs. Chauncey Hobart. Mrs. Hobart has
made the religious instruction of children
study, as has Mr.. Walton, and the striking
feature of this meeting was the manner in
which the children were fascinated by the
story Of the crucifixion. Indeed all hearts,
old and young, were thrilled. Surely the old,
old story is ever new. One thing impresses
