morning to the altar service at the close
Of the evening discourse,
The morning service was conducted by
DR., Steele, Of Boston. The time was
spent in personal experiences on the
Of perfect holiness, until S;S0o'clock,
after which the Doctor gave q Bible read
ing OF over an hours length which was
greatly enjoyed. He read passages from
both the Old and New Testament, that
apparently contradiCted the doctrine Of
perfect holiness, but by reference to the
original translations he showed that
there was nothing in any Of them 10 con-
tradict the doctrine, He made the asser-
ton that there is not a passage in the
four Gospels that human ingenuity can
wrest into an apology for continuing In
sin,

Quoted by Prof, kirkpatrick, the 1850
o'clock service opened with the singing
Of "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus pray
or by tho Rev. D. l., Ash, Of Wesley
Chapel, Wheeling, aud singing Garry
Me Tenderly." After the usual an
nounCements by the Presiding Elder,
Mr.. Easton sang "There Is q Hand Held
Out" all joining In the chorus,
Rev. DR., Smith, President OF Scio Col.
lege, preached from the words "And
Enoch walked with God and was not,
for God took him." The sermon was a
very good one. His subject was COM
panionship with God-iellowship with
tho Almighty, Some Of the points made
were Us follows: There are those who
serve God, or try 10 do so, for pay try.
ing to work their way TO heaven for the
sake Of getting there, They only look
10 the reward. These represent the for.
NAL Christians. They never speak Of
the Joys OF u Christian lie, because they
have no fellowship with God. There Is
II closer relation, that OF son TO father.
That Is the relation that ,EnoSh bore 10
God. He walked with him. No prouder
thing eau DO said OF q man after death
than that he walked with God and Is
not, for God has taken him. The doc.
tor spoke ieelingly OF the relation Of
husband aud wife, referring to Bishop
Haven, who said the night before he
was elected Bishop that he would walk
the earth around 10 spend one hour
with Mary, the wife Of his youth, then
long dead. This, however Is not as close
as the relationship OF God aud his
children.
Presiding Elder Jones at the close OF
the sermon made some earnest remarks,
and conducted a conservation service at
the altar, some two hundred kneeling.
Bishop Joyce spoke feelingly Of the
recent death Of two OF his friends Ia the
ministry-Dr. Bayliss and DR.. Robinson,
both Of whom died suddenly. The ser.
vice closed by singing "0h, Blessed
Fellowship Divine" and a general hand
shaking.
Before the opening OF the children's
meeting a song service was conducted
for some time with a choir OF oYer Il
hundred children. DR.. Bitter conducted
the meeting, which was opened by sing
ing ''rhere we'll have q happy time"
The Doctor talked to the little folks in a
why that interested them very much.
de held their attention for fully a half
hour, and spoke truths that all should
remember. At least two hundred OF
the parents and other grown people
were present as interested spectators.
The talk was interspersed with snatChes
OF song suitable to the children. After
o short prayer, the conductor leading
and the children following in concert,
Mr., Ashley, Of Washington, D. O., gave
short talk. 1t was chiefly q relation
Of personal experience and telling the
children why he wanted to 60 home-to
meet brother and sister, father and
mother. AT the close OF the meeting
the Doctor gave a red ribbon TO every
boy and girl who claimed 10 love Jesus.
About n hundred and fifty children
were present.
The interval between this service and
the young peoples meeting was spent in
social converse. At 4 o'clock all again
assembled, the young people occupying
the platform. The meeting was led by
Rev. Mr.. Lynch. After singing a fer.
vent prayer was offered by Rev. L. Tim.
berlake, OF the Eastern Ohio Conference.
"More About Jesus was sung and then
tho conductor gave a most earnest talk.
He also read aud commented on the
18th Psalm. The meeting then took the
form OF an experience meeting for q
short time, Professor Kirkpatrick being
the first to speak. He was followed
by quite a number OF the young
and gentlemen, who all testified as
TO their hopes for tho iuture-and their
present enjoyment.
