Love is the king of all OF Gods atrio-
utes. A kind word will often accom-
plish that which conscience will not.
| God is not satisfied with Sinai, and so
ulants the cross outside the wall and
commands men to go forth ana preach
| Christ and Him crucIfed.
The Greeks thought IL foollshness,
and so does the world, but this Is Coo
way and men are not to be troubled
about the results and obey as
Ezekiel did when God oid
prophesy (preach) to the rally OF dry
bones and by the power OF God the
dead in trespass and sin shall lie.
In the name Of Christ l stand before
YOU to preach Christ cruciied. Thank
God for the grand old gospel, no story
so often told maintains its freshness
and life as this. Preach 1t to all the
nations OF the earth. What will you
do with this gospel-dispose not his
message for it is the power OF God unto
salvation to everyone that believes.
The sermon was listened to through
out with very close attention and the
name OF Moundsville for good order was
never more Justly earned than during
! tQlS StTNlCo.
The afternoon service commenced
promptly at half past two with every
seat filed in the vast auditorium. Peo-
pie, during the day, had come In from
Wheeling and all the surrounding towns
and country and over three thousand
faces greeted the speaker OF the after
noon, Rev. Stuart. Prof. Excel, accom-
panied by the choir, sang "Nearer My
God to Thee" After prayer, with an
other hymn, Mr.. Stuart gave the text
OF Genesis xviii. 10: 'For know that
he will commend his children and MS
household after him, and they shall
keep the ways OF the Lord"
His subject was descriptive OF home
lite, its possibilities and responsible
ties. When God wanted TO
found nation He looked
upon Arabia and chose Abraham. God
knows how to start nation. The foun-
dation Of the nation is always the home.
When the home Is gone the nation Is
lost. He illustrated this aptly by an
anecdote Of Henry Grady, the late
Southern editor and orator. Home is
also the center of all happiness. II our
home life is unhappy our our security
is perious. If happy nothing OF
material distress can mar the blessed
ness of it's serenity. Home is every
thing to you and me. Our national ex-
istence depends upon its perpeJuation
as the place for the development OF our
young manhood aud womanhood. The
American street, club and social lie Is
about TO supplant our home. IL Is time
for the mothers and fathers OF our
land to waken to their responsibility.
The children would be commanded by
authority and example. In my contact
with children l could tell of their homes
by their lives. Where children rule the
home the seeds Of anarchy are bred and
consequently in after years sprouts out
in our national career. No person has
a right TO turn the product
OF such training upon our civilization.
Parents should commence early In HE
to train the child just when 1t wants TO
turn its own way. Children will fol-
low. BE careful where you lead them.
Train it, bring it up, and all hell can
not get il over its habits. Train your
child with a bent towards uprlghtness,
towards honesty, towards heaven
Train it by piety. MY
life was once saved by my mothers
prayer. Many have been saved by
prayer, not only from death on the
railroad as l was, bat also from moral
wreck. The best way TO get others TO
do right is to do right yourself. l
have known o boy to be made liar by
the father lying himself. A man once
lost his BOY by taking him
with himself in swimming
in Florida stream. The boy met his
death IN the jaws Of an alligator. Be
ware that you do not cause the eternal
death of some person by swimming In
drunkenness, in immortality. Rev.
Stuart was at times dramatic in his
picturng of scenes, and told u great
MANY witty anecdotes illustrative Of his
; subject. He pleases the people, and
many were the remarks OF praise which
were given this, and his sermon In the
evening on Mothers, Wives and
Daughters" Several expressed the fact
that they liked him fully as well as his
better known co-wOrker, Sam Jones.
At halt-past five Miss Wray led the
young peoples meeting at the Temple.
This was crowded, great many stand
| ing at the doors. Singing and prayer,
with remarks by the leader,
constituted the programme. Miss Wray
recited chorus OF her own which she
says every person know who is &C
ouainted with her. 1t was sung with
great deal OF exression. 1t Is:
"Grace there is for my every debt to pay,
Blood 10 was my every sins away;
Power to keep me from day to day,
For me, for me-"
In the evening at the auditorium the
choir opened with the hymn Rock OF
Ages" Miss Wray gave a cordial in
yitation for every one TO attend her
PRAYER meeting. Prof. Excel then gave
a solo, what Will You Do on the
Judgment Day?" Ringing with melo-
DIV in every word, 1t thrilled the heart
Of every person present.
Rev. Stuart's text was the last chapter OF
Proverbs: "Who can find virtuous wo-
man, for her price is far above ruoies."
BY way OF prefacing his remarks the
! speaker mentioned the matter OF every
person keeping still during the meet
ing. III told Of q preacher who once
reDroyed a young man for being noisy
during church service, and afterwerd
discovered him to be ar idiot.
He was always afraid thereafter OF re-
proving for misconduct. Speaking OF
his text, he said that virtue at one time
meant bravery. Again, it had meant
honesty. The present Interpretation Is
now chastity or purity. 1t has always
stood for the best thing in the world.
A good woman is the best side OF
heaven and bad is the worst side OF
! hell. A good woman will
