thus far. The services were more largely
attended and the percentage Of young

prevails among the cRmp,rs. The

more interest is shown In the meetings
as they progress hour by hour. Next
Sunday when crowds are expected, Revs.
Terry, Waddell and William White will
preach. Rev H. s. Dulany will have
charge of the big teut at the head Of the
grounds.
