rum, his text being: blessed are the
pure in heart, for they shall see God"
Tie reverend gentleman gave excellent
advice both to Christians and sinners
as to pureness Of deeds, words and
thoughts. Saturday afternoon Rev.
Hardness, OF New Martinsyille, took for
the basis Of his earnest talk these
words: GLOW can these things beT'
He said that We believe in the things
wa see about us in nature; We believe
the facts we learn from men and from
hooks; but when the truths Of God are
presented to US many OF us ask, "How
can these things be2 and do not pc
lieye them; these doubts OF Coda truth
are to be overcome by the exercise OF
faith alone.
Dr. Banks, on Saturday evening, con.
tinued his illustrated talks, the subject
beiuv the "Resurrected Christ" The
views and the talks were on the follow
lowing subjects: "Ihe Descent from
the Gross, Placing tho Body in the
Tomb" Easter Dawn" Resurrection"
aThe Marys at the Tomb" Christ APP
nearing to Mary in the Garden" 1.-THE
Walk 70 Emmaus," "Ohrist Committing
His Flock to P eter," 1.-THE Ascension"
After this "Rock of,Ages," was again
finely illustrated by several views, while
the choir was singing the hymn.
THE SUNDAY MEETINGS.
Sabbath morning came clear and cool,
a perfect opening Of great day, and
the throngs coming from all parts Of
the surrounding country, and the mum;
beers coming on all regular trains, helped
to swell the crowds of other days to
hinge proportions. Those from the
country complain Of the dust, no show
or in the last ten days having been
heavy enough to moisten the ground;
iusnite of this an early hour found on
the ground numbers who live from ten
to twenty miles in the country.
The early Sabbath prayer meeting
brought many to the temple at 8
O'clock. The experience meeting in
the auditorium at 0 was season OF re-
freshing. Rev. Hardness ihad charge
ofthe meeting, and large numbers con-
preVated, five and six standing at once
waiting to give their testimony OF what
great things God had done for them.
When the time for the regular preach
ing arrived, the choir sang "All hail the
power of Jesus name" and prayer was
offered by Rev. g. w. Grimes. The
morning lesson by Dr.. Banks was that
chapter SO full Of thought, Hebrews,
CHAPTER 10. The choir sang "Jesus the
Lirht of the World" The sermon was
by Dr.. McChesney, OF Cincinnati, who
took the 24th verse of 10 Hebrews, as
his text. The sermon following was q
fine example OF close and clear think
ing, and the lessons deduced were the
most practical, applying to every
Christians life. From the subject
tNiature Consideration" the doctor
drew lessons teaching kindness to
children, respect for old age and char
ity for the unfortunate and poor.
Christ's kingdom means new COM
monwealth in which the inhabitants
arc dominated by the consideration OF
one another. Much that passes for
politeness is way for sighting and ig-
noring each other. True politeness is
the outgrowth OF mutual Christian con-
sideration OF each other.
The doctor said we should consider,
in our Judgments concerning people,
their constitutional character, their
temperament, their physical infrmi-
ties and weaknesses, their mental de-
formities; we should consider the beset-
ting sin Of each other.
At the close OF the sermon the, choir
sang "Christ is All"
DR.. B. W. Hutchinson, president OF
the West Virginia Conference Seminary
at Buckhannon, and Professor +. II.
Crago, principal Of thea public schools
of the same place, are among the many
arriving OF late. Many OF the ministers
were called away to fill theirown or the
pulpits OF others on the Sabbath. In
the absence OF Presiding Elder Mick DIR.
Riker has the managementof the camp
meeting,
On account OF the large number wish
ing to attend children's meeting OF l:S0,
it was held in the auditorium, and the
benches were mostly flied. Mrs. Ire
go and DR.. Riker so conducted the
meeting, SO as to interest the old as
well as the young. The singing Of the
little folks was prominent feature.
In the afternoon the auditorium was
filled with people, and crowds at tho
same time we're wandering in the park
and other parts of the grounds. That
fayorite piece "Sunshine in My Soul, i"
was the first hymn at the $3.50 services.
After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Aiiemonu,
DR.. B. W. Hutchinson was introduced to
the audience, and spoke Of the adyan-
tages Of the seminary, as the school Of
the West Virginia conference and it's
advantages, both religious and moral,
to those seeking to obtain an educa-
ton.
Dr. McChesney spoke from the text,
Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith
to-day, ii We will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts as in the provocation."
Again the doctor preacheda strong and
searching sermon. Among many other
things he said: In the Bible is not
found the statement Of many impossi-
bilitles, it is o glorious book OF posi-
bilities Of coming to God. He spoke OF
warning not being given often enough,
and OF the many warninga 10 be found
in the book of Hebrews. Empty re-
ligious torn,Slity will harden, the heart.
Unbeiioi is the one sin underlying all
provoCations; has been the besettinR
sin from the time Of giving Of the law
on Sinai to the present The greatest
danger to any Christian is that having
his heart once made tender by the
touch Of the Spirit, he may allow his
heart to be again hardened. An mp
peal was then made to all toilet the
Holy Spirit melt each heart.
Dr. Rlker conducted the rentecostal
service.
