probability.
Selecting "Heaven" as an appropriate
theme, he preached q sermon full OF
tender pathos which seemed to lift his
congregation from the serdid and SEN
sual thoughts OF life to the very gates
of that beautiful place. For deep splr-
itusllty and sound good sense and In
strict accordance with the teach-
ing OF Scripture, this sermon would De
hard TO equal. The many helpful WORDS
and inspiring thoughts which he has
clothed in beautiful language and drop
ned into the minds and hearts OF his
hearers since he has been on this ground
will spring I'D and bear fruit long after
the sneaker has joined that glorious
company in the home beyond the SKY.
We shall part with him with sadness,
but the prospect Of meeting him beside
the river OF life, and together exploring
with him the mysteries Of that beauu-
ful city which he made so real to his
hearers yesterday morning, VIII give
added Joy to our expectation OF heaven.
The prayers Of this people VIII ioiioW
him to other places and inspire MIN IN
future efforts for the Master.
The a. N. meeting yesterday was OF
more than usual interest and was LED
by that old soldier, Alfred Gains.
The 8 o'clock class was remarkable
on account OF its depth Of feeling and
unusual interest. Whatever else may
be the effects OF this campmeetlng us
influence on the membership OF the
church will be felt in days to come.
This morning this class will be lead by
Wray and will be held in the audi
forum to give larger number OF peo-
pie an opportunity TO attend.
We yesterday announced that Dr.
McFarren would lead the meeting In the
auditorium on Sunday p. M, while the
Rev. S. p. Jones gives his lee ture to
men only, but this is a mistake. DR..
McFarren left last night. The meeting
will be held under the leadership OF
Miss Wray, who is making hosts OF
friends, and the women of this vicinity
cannot afford to miss this meeting.
Sunday the Rev. Sam P. Jones will
preach on the camp grounds morning
and evening, to which all will be ad-
United; but at p. IN. he will give his
celebrated lecture TO men only In the
Prohibition Assembly Hall for the bene-
ft OF the young peoples temple. az
which an admission fee Of 25 cents will
be harged.
From a quarter little expected comes
the information that some OF the preach
ers of the Conference who bave been at
cross purposes with the management OF
the campmeeting are melloWing down
as they observe the influence aud tend
ency of the meeting. II the present
forces at work here added to those
scattered outside could be united what
glorious results might follow.
Mrs. A. NJ. Atkinson and daughter,
Of Flushing, o., are at the hotel.
Mr.. San uel Bushly, of Short Creek,
and Mrs. E. Bushly, OF Wheeling, are
sojourning at the hotel.
A. G. Wade, OF Morgantown, arrived
here yesterday from the Worlds Fair.
There is still room at the hotel, and 1t
will be matter of pleasure to many to
know that the hotel is giving better
satisfaction to its patrons than ever be-
fore.
The rain OF Wednesday AFTERNOON
continued with more or less intermission
all night, but yesterday morning the air
was somewhat cooler and the sun shin
ing brightly.
Rev. Sam Jones is expected to arrive
at noon to-day.
The chldren's meeting at 2 p. m. was
again In the charge OF Mrs. Bell, and
was devoted to testimony, and ELECTED
much favorable comment on account OF
its earnestness and enthusiasm.
The young peoples meeting was led
| by Miss Wray, who chose the healing
OF the blind man as the subject OF the
meeting. Several were at the altar,
and one conversion Is reported.
The old peoples m Getting, held at the
same hour In the auditorium, was very
interesting and well attended.
More people came In on the evening
train than any day before this we elk.
The cool, braclng air had good In
| huence on the young people OF the re-
gion about Moundsyille, and the upper
ground was pretty we'll filed with rigs,
and the auditorium was we'll filed with
people when the evening services
| began.
The subject OF the last sermon Of
DR.. Stuart was the spirit OF the Chris
tan religion, and selecting for text
the words Love ye your enemies" he
| showed that IL was not only possible,
but II one were thoroughly filed with
the spirit OF Christ 1t would be impossi-
BILE to do otherwise. He spoke Of the
different elements OF love and showed
how they were related to the human
heart. The elements were OF two
kinds; the one from without asking
for our love, the other, from within,
born OF a desire for the good OF all
men. He showed that retaliation and
revenge were born Of hell and had 10
place In the Christians heart. That
vengence could not be obtained by q
human being, that the attempt was IL
ways followed with punishment, that
/ vengence could only be obtained by
God himself who claimed 1t as his right.
1t was q mastery discourse and cannot
| fail to help many over some OF tie
rough places Of practical religion.
AT the close of his sermon DR.. Nc
Laren made few touching remarks
and the audience in large numbers
came forward and shook hands with the
preachers and wished them God speed.
Rev. Sam P. Jones will preach at 3
D. m. and s D. m. to-day. The service
at 1920 a. m. IN the Auditorium will De
