Afternoon Audience.

Assembly at Monndsyllle openeu une
all the encouraging influences Oh nn'
weather, large attendance and increased
interest and enthusiasm.
Promptly at $50 as previously an
nounced, the Silver Lake quartette as,
cended the rostrum and sang one VI
their spirit songs which was follo"eo
by prayer. Then followed an expert
ence meeting or "love FEAST" winch
was one of the most interesting anu
profitable ever held in the auditorium
It was interesting because it was char'
acterized throughout by an earneseneSs
and eloGuence upon the part OF the pai
ticjDants that left no room 10 douo'
their sincerity. The meeting was KEPT
up with increasing interest unth thc
hour had grown so late that the niec'-
| ing had to be closed, and even then tnere
were hundreds awaiting an opportu-
nifty to speak, and such interest
was developed in this meeting tha'
later in the day request was sent W
the chairman to continue the meetins
this evening, and the request oeins
complied with time was set from 1:oo 10
7:45 this evening in which to continue
the meeting.
At1l a. m. Rev. w. FL. Boole ID. D.,
of New York, was ushered into the
pulpit and began sermon which VIII
long be remembered by those who h;lo
the privilege and pleasure to hear H..
The services just proceeding it had put
the audience in very good inteilec-
tual attitude, and every word was us
tened to with absorbing interest. 10
give any part OF the sermon without
giving it all would be an injustice to
the Doctors ability. Suffice it to say
that discourse burdened with greater
pathos, of clearer logic, OF weightlerr
arguments, of sounder reasoning, OF
more eloquent appeal to the better
part of human nature has been deliver
ed rarely at this or any other place.
AFTERNOON MEETING.
The afternoon meeting was largely at
teded, there being about 1900 persons
assembled in the spacious auditorium
The services opened by the quartette
singing Wonderful Story Of Love-"
Prayer by Mr.. Mead. In introducing
the speaker of the day, Mrs. Mary L.
Lathrop, Of Michigan, Mr. Mead an
nounced that to-day Mrs. Lathrop will
speak at 2:30 o'clock, and that at 7:45
in the evening will be the goodbye
services, addressed by Rev. M. IL.
Boole, special songs by the quartette
and recitations by Prof. Hawks. Said
he: Then we will say good
bye, for how long will that
good bye be. 1t may be
forever, but perhaps not. Whether
this is the best meeting that We will
ever hold in this beautiful Tabernacle
on these grounds, is question that has
not been decided yet, but we will let
you know tonight. The most impor-
tant thing that has decided me in my
mind as to whether it will be proper to
continue holding meetings here hap
pened within the last twenty minutes.
As was coming down from the cottage
] net a LADY, aud Us eu Ftftnaed me- and
ernacle will be taken away from here?
7 said I don't know, it has not been de-
cided yet, she said, hope not, don't
want to see it go; wish | was rich IL
would not, but am not, am poor. BE-
fore this meeting began L worked Tor
month to get money enough TO Duy
season ticket. Here is quarter, take IL
to Mr.. Bodley and tell him | didn't want
to see it removed fit was in my power l
would decidethat it should remain, and
have no doubt but that quarter Will be
an important factor with Mr.. Bodley
in deciding whether it will go or not.
Mrs. Lathrop said that she would
take a text for what she might say,
without promising to keep very close
TO it. It shall be keynote rather than
an index to what may say. The text
which | shall read Is Samuel, 16 chapter
and first verse. "And the Lord said
unto Samuel. How long wilt thou
mourn for Saul, seeing have rejected
him, from reigning over Israel? FIJI
thy horn with oil and go. l will send
thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for l
have provided me a king among his
sons"
There have been in the world three
forms of general governments. In the
first was the Jewish government and
God himself was the supreme power.
Gods revealed will was law and in that
Government God was king.
He chose for his throne Mount Sinai
and schooled the children OF Israel In
the wilderness. He took but one man
into his council. During the time God
was king OF the Israelites, they met
with no defeat. Their foes did not
overcome them. God was in the gov
eminent and the country was prosper
Gus. But the people became proud
and they asked God TO give them king,
aud the second form Of organized
Government was ruled by rulers which
God himself chose, and Saul was the
Governor. We are told he was fine
| type Of physical beauty. A man which
| God had chosen, but in less than one
year he had displeased God, and He sent
Samuel to him. At first he denied that
there was anything the matter, but
Samuel said, why the bleating OF the
| GOcks? and then Saul was compelled tC
ACKNOWLEDGE HIS FAULTS,
and because of this disobedience God
said thy Government shall not stand
and il laid in the dust. God was Ruler
The third change in Government wa:
when men came to choose their owr
rulers. That is our kind of Govern
ment.
We are the grandest nation on earth
but we are growing to be the most secu
lar and goddess government the sun evel
shown upon. You watch the two politi
cal parties, watch the chicanery. How
they purchase votes. Remember tina
when you vote you exercise preroga
tive that once belonged to God. You
have no other right. Then why sa,
my politics is one thing and my religion
another? You say we don't want uniol
