Hope is the subject for to-day.
TWAS announcedth that Epworth League
exercises would be conducted by Rev.
D. Il. Moore, editor Of the Western Chris
tan Advocate, but he was not able to be

terday took his place. Rev. a. Moore,
Of Wheeling, had charge Of the meeting,
and read the eighth chapter Of Romans
as the morning lesson, prayer being
offered by Rev. Mr.. 0wensby. The
choir interspersed the remarks by the
following named gentlemen with some
good music.
The speaking was opened by DR..
Riker, each speaker being allowed ten
minutes.
The doctor, liking short range gospel
artillery, stood in front of the platform
and said that the day OF great goings on
in Gods kingdom is at hand. The
greatest movement Of late in Gods
church is that among the young people.
The Epworth League is only four years
OLD, but now has membership Of $780,
900. The old church'did not recognize
any man till he was gray or bald, but
that day has gone by.
Rev. Mr.. Denton, amongother things,
said that the hope not only of the
church, but of the state and the world,
is in the young people.
Rev. L. L. Stewart thinks that in this
age Of great enterprises, both religious
and commercial, the young and old OF
the church should work together in
harmony. Let each perform the duty
before him.
Rev. Mr.. Helms says the world is
growing better; that Jesus still has
power to save and does save souls.
The great advantage and privilege,
says Elder Mick, Of being in the church
should be appreciated. The Christian
church is the grandest vessel that ever,
braved the storms of time, and she
will carry her passengers to a safe ha-
ven.
According to Rev. F. N. Lynch, Ep-
worth League needs more and more
lower to do the work started by our
forefathers. We should be willing to
put ourselves into the hands OF the
Great Sculptor, willing to spend the
power he gives us to carry out His
work of bringing salvation to souls,
and evangelization OF the world.
Many Of the little folks gathered in
the temple at 1880 for their special
meeting.
The experience meeting Of the
League members began at 2:30, and
large numbers related their religious
experience. The usual pentecostal SER
vice at p. m, was held in the audito-
rum.
The representation Of the West vir.
ginia Conference is greater now at
camp-meeting surely than for years be-
fore, and still they come.
The day having been given to the
young people OF the Epworth League,
their usual meeting at Q p. m. was
dispensed with yesterday.
Rev. L. L. Stewart offered PRAYER
after the evening song service, and Miss
Hastings followed with solo.
The views shown by the stereopticon
last evening were scenes from the close
OF Christ's ministry, the "Triumphal
entry into jerusalem" and 1.-THE last
supper" both fine pictures, and good
texts for the instructive remarks OF DR..
Banks. The same may be said Of the
next "The agony in the garden"
Then was shown the representation of
Judas, and the kiss OF Judas" DR..
Banks stating that evil companions get
us into trouble, but, never get US out.
"Peter Denying Christ" and "Christ
Rejected" were two more good views.
Pilates question, "What will ye do with
this Jesus?" the lecturer says, comes to
every man, and must be decided.
The altar service Of the evening was
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Bunting.
The usual services are to be held to.
