largely attended and showed increased interest.

auent in their simplicity and indicated that
many hearts had been touched.
At 10 o'clock a large audience listened to
Henry Date, OF Chicago, as he related his exper-
fence. His subject was From Under the
Barbed Wire Fence into Beulah Land" It was
rich. Those who remained in their cottage
missed one of the feasts Of all the meeting. The
whole audience was moved as at no other time.
Mr.. Date is an exceedingly small man; and one
in looking at him would wonder how God could
use him. But as president OF the Young Peo-
pies Methodist Alliance, he has met with great
success. He left on the noon train for Ohio,
where he will be engaged in his work for several
days.

over the outlook and the results, and gave US a
very interesting, comforting. gospel sermon.
