LARGE MEETINGS ON THE CAMP GROUNDS
YESTERDAY.
Eloquent Sermons AHsntivsly Listened to by
Large CongregatiOns-Outins Of
What Was Said.

The meetings at the Moundsville
Camp Grounds were better attended
and were more interesting yesterday
than at any time since Sunday. Mon
day and Tuesday are always dull days,
the cottagers being completely fatigued
owing to the large attendance on the
Sabbath day. But yesterday the mo-
notony of quletness was again broken,
and the attendance at all the services
was unusually large. A large number
of visitors were also in attendance. The
election for eight new directors was held
Tuesday afternoon between the hours
of and 3, but unfortunately a quorum
OF the stockholders failed to deposit
their votes, and the election was de-
clared a nullity. Under the rules OF
the Association the old members OF the
Board will hold over until next year,
when their successors will be chosen.
The services opened yesterday with
prayer meeting held in the
Young Peoples Temple at a. m. Not
withstanding the earliRess of the hour
it is astonishing how many people at
tend these services. Following the
prayer meeting Bible reading was con-
Quoted at the same place, the lesson for
yesterday mornings services being taken
from the 18th chapter OF the lst Corinth-
cans. At 1890 o'clock Rev. Crummett
preached in the Auditorium. The con-
a. Iaa kAa In,
the habit Of attending this service at
any previous time during the meeting.
The Doctor took his text from l Cor,
9th chap. 9TH verse: Whatsoever ye
sow that shall ye reap" 1t was an able
discourse, and was attentively listened
to by all present. After diScoursing on
things temporal he turned his attention
to things spiritual, and said that we are
afraid TO sow IN the spiritual kingdom OF
God and consequently do not reap in that
kingdom. He portrayed the missionary
societies as the heathens benefactors
and spoke in glowing terms of the good
work now being accomplished by the
missionaries all over the world. Some
people have just enough desire to do
the will OF Christ to make them miser-
able all the days of their life. They
never get to that higher sphere OF en-
1oyment. At the close of the sermon
Rev. NJ. Smith offered up an eloquent
prayer, and conservation services were
held, conducted by A. Mick, Presiding
Elder OF Wheeling district. Children's
meeting was held at 1870. The after
noon services were opened by singing
beautiful anthem, lead by Mr.. Davis.
Rev. L. l.. Stewart lead In prayer.
Rev. Bunting, of Shilo, Tyler county,
preached the sermon, which fer effect
iveness and practical teachings far
surpassed anything that has yet been
delivered on the grounds. The illus
trations were taken from real life,
and were made up greatly
from his own personal experience. His
text was taken from the third chapter
of John, third verse: "Walk while ye
have the light" and the subject, Light
OF nature compared with light OF the
soul. At the close OF the afternoon
meeting the usual Dentecostal services
were held, led by Rev. A. b. Ritar, D..
D., of Fourth Street Church, this city.
In the evening DR.. Banks officiated,
anu SpOhc w u ldl GO NOh i1io
address was one Of the most touching
that he has yet delivered, while many
OF his hearers were affected to tears.
His subject was 1.-The Weeping
Christ" illustrated with stereOpti-
can views, which is one of the
most interesting features of the meet
ings. To-day is Epworth League Day.
Rev. d. II. Moore, editor of the Western
Christian AduocGte, will be present and
deliver an address. Excursion trains
will be run from all points on the B. 81
o. road. A large crowd is anticipated.
Tonight DR.. Banks will preach on 1.-THE
Rejected Christ"
DR.. w. @. Cole and Miss Jennie Ash
craft, of Burton, were married in the
Episcopal rectory at Moundsville yes
terday morning, Rev. J. R. Taylor Off
ciating. Mr.. and Mrs. Cole spent the
day on the grounds receiving the con-
