THE CAMPAIGNING.
YESTERDAYS SERVICES ALL VERY SUCCESS
Full.
Rev. DR.. Veteran, Of Chattanooga, and Rev. DR.
Stuar. Doing Great and Good
Work.

Yesterday was ushered IN az tne camp
ground by a prayer meeting at 6 a. m.
in the young peoples temple.
AT $50 on the same day general
class and experience meeting was
largely attended and much interest
manifested.
From the opening to the close their
was no time lost. Everybody seemed to
enter into the spirit of the meeting.
Praying, singing or talking made the
hours lass quickly by and the ringing
OF the bell for the 1920 service warned
the worshipers to repair to the audi
forum.
Prof. E. o. Excel had already began
singing with fine choir, pracucIng new
and sweet music. Prof. Excel hasno su-
uerior either as writer OF sacred songs
or in teaching q choir or 3 congregation
to readily take up the songs. 1t is a
treat as we'll as an inspiration TO near
the choir, which numbers many OF the
finest voices of our church choirs, sing.
DR.. George Stuart, on assuming charge
OF the campmeeting, impressed upon the
minds OF the people that he expected
and would have perfect order, and any
one who was disposed to show levlty
during, or In any manner disturb the re-
lieious services would get into trouble,
probably meaning that they would get
q roasting.
The order is so perfect that there has
not this year been any need OF even
n single policemen. There will be a
good police force organized, however,
TO control any turbulent spirits that
NAV come with the multitudes on Sun
DAYS. Sam Jones tells his congregations
that be has learned by experience that
it is necessary TO boss your crowd or
they will boss you, and gives them to
understand that he pre-empts that con-
tract. DR.. Stuart, having been Sam
Jones' co-laborer for five years, par
takes somewhat OF Rev. Sans business
PUBLICATIONS, and seems TO have start
ed In TO run the meeting on sensible re-
ligious business principles.
Experience is q good school, and no
doubt wiz aid Drs. Smart and Meier
ran in making the camp meeting OF 80
eminently successful. These preach
els are plain aud unasSnminc men, who
seem filed with the spirit OF tins Mas
ter, and preach the Gospel In the fear
of God and Him/only. Everyone seems
impressed with their earnestness, and
the hearty amens from men and women
attest thai the word spoken finds re-
sponse in the hearts Of the hearers.
After the 1890 long service DR.. Nc
Ferran preached from Acts 1st, VIII,
But ye shall receive power after the
Holy Ghost is come upon you" These
he said are the words Of our risen Lord,
who had all power in heaven and earth
committed to his hands. His disciples
had been associated with him during
His ministry, but He did not consider
them fully equipped without power from
on high. The power he spoke OF was not
physical power, nor was 1t the power OF
eloquence, or learning, or writ, or ora
tory. 1t was spiritual.
The speaker then proceeded to show
that the power was useless unless there
was some vehicle for its transmission.
A gold mine would be useless to Its
possessor unless by some means It's hid
den wealth could be brought into the
market OF the world. The power OF
Niagara and the .immeasurable energy
of the tides of the ocean would work
wonders In the industrial world II they
could be harnessed and utilized. The
sun has great power but the atmosphere
Is needed to transmit It's light and heat
10 the world. Divine power needs
medium, n channel to convey it where
II is needed. Man is that channel.
This power can be had by all who will
have it. 1t comes In answer to earnest
seeking in prayer.
The discourse was concluded by re-
lating several incidents Of remarkable
answers to prayer. All were urged TO
seek IL and obtain 1t as means OF sue
cor and efficiency in the work OF the
Master.
Children's meeting was held in the
Temple at 2 p. Mrs. Bell, OF Wheel
ing Island, assumes charge of this SER
vice from to-day, and being a great IA
yorite with the little folks Will do good
work for Him who said: Suffer little
children to come unto me-" The num-
Der of little tots on the ground seems to
be great.
The young peoples meeting at $50
in their temple was largely attended.
Miss Tracy, OF New York, whom every
one loves for her good face, sweet
voice, and gentle, pious, earnest dis
position, leads the services. DR.. and
Mrs. Sumner Stone done good days
work, when they recommended the
management to invite this lady 10 the
camp meeting.
All day long there have been people
moving into cottages. A fine shower
has laid the dust, cooled the atmosphere
and Qladdened the hearts of every body
here.
AT 7:3O D. m. the Auditorium was
filed with large audience OF people
from the resident population, l. ounds-
Vile, Wheeling, Bellaire, Benwood and
many persons from the adjacent conn-
try who drove into the meeting. The
choir was largely augmented by the
newcomers, and sang some OF their best
pieces. After announcing the services
for Sunday, DR.. George Stuart preached
his first sermon here, holding the close
attention OF his hearers for an hour and
a half. The meeting was most valu-
able one, and 9id much good.
A train runs from the ground to
Wheeling every night during the meet
ing, which will continue over Sunday,
the Goth.
All trains on the B. & o. railroad run
into the camp ground. Excursion rates
pertain during the meeting. Quite a
number Of preachers Of different dei
nominations have been In attendance
to-day.
DIR. McFerren and DR.. Stuart will
