WORSHIP IN THE TENTS.
Religious Interest Increasing at tn
Red Rock Meetings.

Ked ROCK Meetings..
The morning prayer meeting yesterday
was conducted by Rev. Mr.. Bible and much
interest was manifested, a large attendance
being present. The sermon in the forenoon
was preached by Rev. DR.. Chaffee of Min
neapolis on the subject, Christ as Teacher.
His text was Matthew vii, % and 29-"And
it came to pass, when Jesus ended these
sayings, the people were astonished at his
doctrines: For he taught them as one hav-
ing authority and not as the scribes."
The speaker said that Jesus Christ is
known to us as miracle-worker, savior
and teacher. When on earth He was re-
tellect and culture of the world confirm the
judgment. No man ever lived who was so
Influential in his teaching as Jesus Christ.
circumstances, race, native, place,
want of education, age, time of
ministry everything was against Him, and
yet he is the worlds great teacher. Christ
taught entirely new doctrines, and taught
them with authority. He said all that
could be said on any subject He treated;
the world to-day takes them just as He
left them. All attempts to find a teacher
equal to Christ have failed. Christ's teach
ings are marked by originality and sugges-
tiveness. Look at His teachings in respect
to God, providence and destiny. While He
did not change the truths concerning
God, which were taught previ-
GUS to His time, He added much
to them. He added to the truth that He is
almighty, the truth that Ae is the father of
all. Man did not understand the future
then as to-day. Men call on God in their
trouble, but when delivered from their
trouble they neglect to ascribe the work to
God. Christ was teacher who interested
all classes. He pleases all in the depth of
the riches of his wisdom. Jesus taught to
save, entirely and eternally.

OTHER SERVICES.
The young peoples meeting was of IN
usual interest. The services of the evening
were opened by Rev. DR.. Morgan, but soon
after they were commenced violent wind
so agitated the large tent as to greatly
disconcert the audience and compel sus-
pension of the services. A large
part of the audience adjourned to smaller
and safer tent and continued worship in a
prayer meeting.
