YESTERDAYS EXERCISES.
Rev. II. S. Couch, presiding elder of
the Cedar Falls district, upper Iowa,
preached yesterday morning at 1890.
His text was Luke XIX, 10: "FOr the
Son of Man is come to seek and to save
that which is lost" 'sNeither philoso-
ply nor science would ever give hopes
for the FUTURE" he said. "Jesus
alone is the hope of the
world. He forms the substance of
religion. To picture the last condi-
ton of the world when Jesus came to
fight of the imagination. Man, he be-
lieyed, was not only lost but depraved.
There was none to save man but Jesus
Christ, whose mission was one of
mercy. Christ is able to save under
any circumstances"
DR.. Robert Forbes gave his first lect-
ure on church discipline yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. He spoke on
the ritual. He insisted upon its use in
the services of MethodiStS.
The responses we're good and would
make the congregation acquainted with
the words. Other services filled up the
time until the hour for the evening
services.
LAST EVENING
the services were led by Mrs. Maggie
Van Colt, who is proving great gen
eral in the conducting of the evening
services of this encampment. At the
close OF her strong exh0rtations she
steps down among the penitents'
benches and there prays and sings I'M
til late hour with those who have gone
forward for prayers. Upon the platform
her actions while graceful are quite
dramatic, and one would easily believe
that at some day she had been an act
ress. Dressed in black costume, and
with the ease which years of experience
upon the platform has given her, she
presents very commanding appear
ance. When earnest in her exhorta-
lions she will suddenly turn, and strid-
ing across the platform, appeal fer
vently to the ministers for their ap-
proval. Her sermon last night was
from the words ''What was l that l
could withstand Cod" found In Acts
XII, II. She asked how could her hear
ers withstand God when no person had
ever been successful in withstanding
Him. She showed how fruitless were
the attempts to withstand God, and how
foolish they were with mans uncertain
life.
PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY.
This morning the usual o'clock serv-
ices will be held for the early risers.
DR.. Satterlee will conduct the Bible
reading at $50. At 1890 Rev. Thomas
Bigger, of Eau Claire, will preach. The
o'clock and the o'clock services will
be led by Mrs. Maggie Van Colt. At the
former service she will consider the
power and influence of woman. She
will prove, she says, that woman is to
rule the world, but not through the use
of the ballot. This she does not believe
in, but she will show that woman will
rule the world when she occupies the
place God intended her for-the place
of mother. DR.. Forbes lecture on the
