Tho sixth day Of the Epworth Park
assembly was as pleasant as any that
have preceded it. The weather was
perfect and the programme was all that
could be desired, In fact it is remarked
by all visitors how fine an array OF tai.
ent is presented daily ut the various
services. Many OF the speakers have q
national reputation and all arc far above
tho average.
Saturday was EpWorth League day,
and visitors began arriving carly in the
morning. The crowd was by far the
largest vet seen this year, and was fully
up to the expectations OF the manage
ment Young people were in the ma
jority and many OF them were repre-
sentatiyes OF various chapters OF the
Epworth League. During the morning
tho usual services were held. Rev. r,
4. Sears, of Woodsleld, conducted
mathis at $3.50. The morning deYo-
tional meeting was largely attended and
was very helpful. These meetings arc
growing in interest and arc doing much
good. Tho classes met as usual at o
o'clock, DIR. Eaton delivered the morn
ing lecture in DIR. Gilbert's absence. 1t
was a wonderful talk on "The God OF
the Bible," and the large audience was
held spell-bound. DR., Eaton has the
faculty OF imparting his knowledge in
an attractive way. Ills audience is
always large.
The usual chalk talk was given to the
children at | o'clock by Prof. Van De
Yenter, from the subject 'The House
WeLive In"
The popular science hour was as usual
very interesting. DR., Eaton's subject
was "Ihe End OF the World"
AT 3 o'clock Rev. Thomas w, Lane,
the district president, called the Ep-
worth convocation to order, A large
number OF enthusiastic Epworth Leag-
uers listened to the Epworth address,
which was delivered by DR.. Earl Grams.
ton, OF Cincinnati, DR.. Cranston is q
pleasant speaker and his address de.
lighted the largo audience.
Glass work was resumed at 4 o'clock,
Tho chorus class is progressing nicely
and already has several choruses well
in hand. The music is all difficult,
At s o'clock DR.. Earl Crauston, OF
Cincinnati, lectured on "0verwork."
DR.. Crauston is forcible speaker and
his lecture was very pleasing to the inn
mense audience. The retiring bell rang
ut 10 o'clock and the first week Of the
assembly OF 1893 was at an end. Every
ono seems highly pleased with the first
week and all are anticipating another
delightful week at the Homo Chautau'
qua. The order so far has boon perfect
and all who came seemed TO sock rest
and enjoyment. The attendance has
been splendid and all are encouraged
in the belief that Epworth Park will
continue to DO rousing success from
now on.
Yesterday was typical Sabbath on
the assembly grounds. The weather
was all that could be desired and tho
grounds were very pretty. Notice had
previousl y been givenithat there would
be no general admission, hence no eX-
cursons were run and all was quiet on
the grounds. The gates were closed
during the entire day, thus keeping out
the crowd that would otherwise have
como. A large number OF people camo
out on Saturday night from GAINESVILLE
aud Bellairo toenioy quiet day Of rest,
and they certainly secured what they
desired.
Services were held for those who de-
sired to worship and nearly all availed
themselves Of the privilege.
Rev. L. l.. Fisher, OF Hannibal, led
mathis Mt 0:20, and there was good at
tendance. The 8 o'clock devotional
meeting was largely attended and very
helpful. Tho music is q special feature
OF these services. DR.. Thoburn led the
services. -
The Epworth Sabbath school was held
in the auditorium at 8 o'clock. II was
announced to be "model Sabbath
school, under the direction OF DR.. Gill
bort. Two hundred wero present, and
all took an interest in Dr. GilberPs
method OF having u model school.
The large auditorium was filled at
1880 to hear DR.. Cranston preach. A
double quartette under the direction Of
Prof. McMiller furnished the music.
DR.. Cranston attacked vigorously the
critics who are trying to prove the Bible
false, The sermon was logical and con-

Of the Bethesda NJ. T. church were held
in the NJ. Il. church outside the grounds
Many OF the tent holders and visitors
ON the grounds attended the services.
The services were in charge OF the
Presiding Elder, Dr. James r. Mills
who preached tho sermon aud also nd
ministerod the sacrament. DR.. Eaton
led vespers at G:45 aud everyone en-
ioyed them. DR.. Thoburn preached tc
d large audience. DR.. Thoburn is o for
chile, able preacher, who presents the
gospel in a delightful way and never
fails to touch his hearers.
The principal attraction to-day will
DO tho Ariel sextette, which appears
tonight. Governor Mckinley speaks
OH Wednesday, which is Pioneers day
and Chaplain McCabe, OF New York, il
to DO hero on Friday and Saturday.
