est as the days go by, which is demon,
strated by the increased attendance
People were here yesterday from all
directions, north. east, south and west.
The meetings, too, are the times when
there is great amount of spiritual good
being done, for at almost every meeting
some reformation is made.
The weather is remarkably good. Yes
terday was a very beautiful day. and this
day will be equally as fine judging from
appearances this morning
There will be a meeting of the asso-
citation of the Rock Island district tomor-
row. Saturday. at 80 p. m. under the
tabernacle, at which time the business
of the year will be done, as well as de
cision of the time when the meetings next
year will be held and the length of time
to hold them. Other important ques-
tions will be up for decision. Each tent
will be entitled to one representative at
this meeting-not each family tented on
the grounds.
Yesterday was Mr. John Vanderslices
forty >eighth birthday. HIS wife and
children celebrated the occasion by invit-
ing number of the relatives and friends
to partake of the pleasant meal prepared
for the event. 1t was certainly an ENJOY
able time, celebrating this occasion in
that way in the leafy grove on such a
pleasant evening as yesterday evening
was. May Mr.. V. have many happy re-
turns
We believe We can say truthfnlly that
the singing conducted by Revs. II A
Brown and D. 5. McCown is the best we
have had at any time during the past 1t
is certainly as good singing as we have
ever heard. The leaders organist as
well as those who take part in the sings
ing, are deserving of compliments.
There will be meeting tomorrow in
the interest of the Young Peoples Chris,
tan alliance.
Rev. Riason. of Reynolds, preached
from the stand Yesterday at 1890 a. m,
from Act xiii, SO. The sermon was one
filled with gospel truth. Rev McCown
followed with an earnest exhortation.
The children's meeting at 1870 p. m
was well attended. Miss Lilies Martin,
of Moline, gave pleasant talk The
children take interest in these meetings.
One of the good brethren came verv
nearly falling out of one of the upper
windows of his tent Wednesday night
while sleeping, The falling would not
have been very much, but the arrival at
the bottom Is what would have hurt.

lightful sermon. His theme was "A Bap-

After the meetings were over last even
ing, good many people remained around
the altar singing. Rev.. W. T. Kerr, of
Milan. sung song composed by man
who had once preached the gospel ami
had fallen from grace when he composed
the song. The song is full of truth; that
there is no comfort for the soul of man
in the world, but the true source of COM
fort is from above The cong is certainly
one that arouses sympathy for the fall
len.
